We stayed 8 nights on our five week roadtrip of northern England & Scotland. Elk Cottage was our base for the Lakes District & to attend 3 shows within a two hour drive. It worked perfectly for us. We've visited the U.K. many times since 1979 & this property was certainly one of the nicest houses we've been lucky enough to find. If anyone looking to stay here has any mobility problem, then note that there are steps between every room - one to four, plus eleven steps up to the master bedroom & 13 to the Eden suite. We left our two heavy suitcases downstairs in the formal dining room as I couldn't negotiate the stairs with a walking stick & suitcase. Ensuites are beautifully setup. The kitchen is everything anyone could wish for, including a modem huge fridge. A pity the older t.v. was not a smart model & not watchable from one of the two leather armchairs. Unlimited firewood is provided for the heater - a major bonus compared to most holiday rentals. The hamper supplied was absolutely superb!!!
