The stay overall was very good. Limited parking space and can be a little awkward to drive up a small steep drive to park well if there are other cars parked there too in the limited spaces. Main issue for us was that there is no separate bathroom in Room No.8 whic is in the attic.The bathtub is in the room with an attached flx hose shower with no privacy. Apparently this mentioned in the websites,wher this property is advertised, but I didn't pick up on that. No issues at all with cleanliness, and courteous snd friendly staff. Location is conveniently close enough to Ambleside and Windermere.
