Classically beautiful rural England on the outside, modern, cozy and well appointed on the inside. Stephen is a font of local knowledge and Finn the border collie is a wonderful host! Stephen went out of his way to make us comfortable and it is in a quiet very rural area, but centrally located for access to the Lakes Region, Yorkshire Dales and all that Cumbria has to offer. Just make sure to get driving directions from Stephen, as there is spotty cell coverage there and even the car GPS brought us to the middle of a cow pasture. Once you’re there, the wifi is excellent (which was ever so important to the surly teenagers we had with us). The place is even nicer than the pictures!
