Lovely, cosy cottage in a stunning location. The cottage had everything we needed and is very dog- friendly, with an enclosed paddock for them to run around in if needed.The cottage is a converted animal byte and looks out onto the magnificent Ennerdale fells.There is a fabulous community run shop and cafe in the village and a couple of supermarkets a short drive away.
