We loved our stay this is a great place to get together with friends it was very clean and the property owner and Herdwick the Agent were lovely to deal with we hope to go back very soon.
Where to start... We stayed at Lower Carhullan for the weekend and everything from arrival to departure was excellent. The house is quite new still so everything inside is new, modern and of a very high standard. The kitchen has everything you need including two dishwashers!!!
