Wow! It has been six years since we took on the bungalow and our visitor book is now full. We love reading your comments. Here are the first and the last.

It's that time of year, well a couple of weeks behind. We are doing the 2026 pricing. Our lovely regulars are already booking up the dates. Maybe it's time to start planning some trips away.

Loving our welcome gifts for our guests at the moment. Our newest one is a collaboration between and , which means a lot to both of us. It's so good that we can share it with our guests, and it tastes great too.

We always support local with our gifts

Place mats are still looking great

Amazing pizza from with a lovely view. If you find yourselves in Ambleside on an evening then pop in and then find a lovely spot to eat. We have lots of recommendations where. Highly recommended by all the Whalley-Jones's!

We have opened up our remaining free dates in April and beginning of May for short breaks. So if you fancy a Lakes trip away, book before they go.

Second day we have used the train from the village. The Staveley station is only 10ml tues walk from the bungalow. It opens up more walking and cycling routes with little fuss.
