If you like top-notch self catering holiday cottages you will love Keeper's Cottage. The property is furnished and equipped to a very high standard throughout and is spotlessly clean. The downstairs area is spacious, light and warm with a stunning open view from the front. You can enjoy this whilst sitting in the hot tub on the patio, or stay inside and enjoy the ambience of the woodburner. The kitchen is brand new and well equipped. The 2 king-size bed-rooms are characterful (high wooden beams), and are as comfortable as an excellent hotel. The third bedroom is smaller with 2 single beds. All 3 en suite bathrooms are brand new and top quality. The location is very peaceful - no contact with the other holiday properties nearby. Access to southern Lakeland is very easy. We were delighted by Keeper's Cottage.
