"This is the second time we’ve stayed on this site (previously at Buttermere on the same site)."

The grounds are extensive and beautiful. The accommodation is well thought out and comfortable. The view from the grounds is outstanding. We stayed with our 2 kids and dog and the set up suited us perfectly.

"An excellent and spacious property."

The kitchen and the facilities etc were perfect. I wonderful peaceful environment. I must note that the two frying pans, which looked new are not NON-STICK. So good that we may well visit Esthers Cottage again.
