From verified guest, Jan 2025
The fire was roaring when we arrived so it was lovely and warm. There was everything and more in a horse box, I didn’t realise you could fit so much in. We’ve had a lovely weekend.
There was nothing we didn’t like.
See you next year Dobbin

The walk to cockermouth
How the accomodation did not represent the photos. It was dirty worn and lights not working. Shower flooded and all the mirrors were filthy. All outside was worn n in need of some major tlc and inside to. Jill was lovely and helpful but very dissapointed in accomodation.
