Quirky and homely, plus fab location. Owners were extremely friendly and helpful too without being intrusive. Log burner really makes the place cosy.

Despite freezing temperatures in a January stay not once did we feel cold. Log burner was on when we arrived and could help ourselves to more coal and wood if needed. Beds super comfy, big heavy duvets. A unique experience that our family enjoyed. Thank you for a lovely stay and we will definitely book again.

Lovely quirky horsebox in an ideal location for Lake District walks. The horsebox had everything I needed for a few nights away, and the bed was super comfy! The log burner was lit before I arrived so it was nice and warm, and the tea and milk (etc) were very welcome after a long drive. The hosts were very friendly and went out of their way to help. Will definitely be returning.
