"We really enjoyed our stay at Taylors Cottage."
The cottage was very comfortable, well equipped and with plenty of space. It was perfectly situated for local walks and pubs, as well as easy access to Keswick and other places in the Lakes. Many thanks for a lovely week.

"I loved this quirky cottage."
On arrival he description, though, was not clear as to which door was back and which front. We spent a long time trying to find which gatepost the description was referring to. Finally, on phoning the owner things were resolved. The final step of the staircase came as a bit of a shock as it was a big step down. I suffer with polyneuropathy and found this challenging perhaps there could be a warning regarding this. However the beds and sofas were very comfortable: the kitchen was extremely well equipped and provisions for dogs were the best. Hope these comments are helpful.
