We'd booked the Boathouse to celebrate a special birthday and we were not disappointed. It was already warm and cosy when we walked in, and the log burner topped up the heat when the evening got chilly. Everything was clean, tidy and well-looked after. The welcome pack was great, and much appreciated. The kitchen and island seating was fine for cooking and eating; the bedroom had fantastic views and was very comfortable. Minus points? Just a couple of things to be aware of, but nothing that spoilt our holiday at all. There is ample drawer space but some might find the hanging space a bit tight. And others have commented about getting in and out of the driveway, but in practice we didn't have a problem. You need to take care, yes, but for us it was fine. The location is great. An easy walk to Pooley Bridge, a short drive to Penrith's shops and supermarkets and direct access to the other Lakes from the road outside. But how can you beat being located right on the water? In it, in fact.
