We loved Holly cottages. It is situated in the perfect place. The Rayrigg car park is about 50 yards away. Everything we needed was a short walk away. The room was lovely, clean and the terrace was wonderful. The owners were very helpful and knowledgeable about the Lake District.

"Poor"

3.0

That the location was excellent

Not good value for money. Couldn't sit out on the terrace as the seating wasnt safe. Guests above us very noisy all night. You can also hear the emacorators in each room when people go to the bathroom. Decor very outdated.
