And you should have plenty of storage space for rucksacks, walking gear, toys and everything else you bring with you on holiday. The double bedroom is located at the back of the cottage and looks over the garden and fields towards Keldas and Place Fell - and really catches the sun. The twin bedded room is a good sized room and enjoys fine views towards Sheffield Pike and Glenridding Dodd. On the first floor there is also a newly refurbished bathroom with WC, washbasin and bath, and a separate shower room - ideal after a long day in the hills when everyone is longing for a soak in the bath or a shower!
The Top Floor
