    A lazy day at Loughrigg Tarn

    3 October 2014 / Autumn, Loughrigg Tarn, Roundabout, Walks

Testimonials

thahera2014 – TripAdvisor

“Came here for a weekend getaway with the girls, the house was beautifully kept, very cosy, and had really nice touches all around the house, loved the rustic furniture. The fire was well stocked with fire wood for us and we even found milk in the fridge ready and waiting. The beds were really comfortable and I especially enjoyed having a bath in the deep tubs!”

Mr & Mrs L, Northumberland

“Very well equipped, very clean and well presented. Location spot on – you can walk to places without the car.”
