Relaxing get away staycation..

This property is exactly as described… in a beautiful location! 7 family members stayed as a treat for my mums 80th birthday! She loved it from the family breakfast near the Aga to the evenings in watching films and playing games ( left by the host) with roaring fires in either sitting room… hogged by the dogs. Thank you for a lovely long Easter weekend. Definitely would love to go back soon..

Happy Family Holiday Home.

We had a short stay in the lovely holiday home in the beautiful village of Caldbeck. There were 8 of us and one dog. We would highly recommend. Great location and Go Ape was a fantastic treat for the kids.
