We are a group of friends who used the house in March for an open water swim weekend. The house was wonderfully warm, very well equipped and was in a minute's walk of Windermere for our first dip. We then drove the short distance to Grasmere, Rydal, Blea Tarn, Stickle Tarn and Loughrigg tarn. The shops and cafes of Ambleside were a short walk away. An excellent weekend was had by all.
