Coombe Cottage

A really good cottage for a larger group, with plenty of walking available from the front door.

Pros: Great inverted 4 bed cottage with a huge upstairs lounge area giving a glorious view across the southern end of Derwent water and the sunsets. The downstairs kitchen and sleeping areas were lovely, well appointed and well able to handle the eight members of our party. Even the minor 'B' road outside was inaudible, making the property perfectly quiet. The full length conservatory super-porch was often warmed by the sun, and provides the necessary barrier between the muddy Lakeland world outside and the house itself.

Cons: WiFi only worked in the lounge area, and the giant telly wasn't able to connect to it - it was Sky Only (or Freeview equiv), and we would have liked live streaming the Keswick Convention each evening ... but that was only a minor niggle. Maybe the garden needed a bit more TLC - brambles were making an appearance, and while the grass area was cut during our stay, the cut was poorly done (IMHO).
