Great location and house
Pros: The location was great. Easy access to Wigton, Carlisle and the rest of the Lake District. The extra toilet in the ensuite was a god-sent at night! Easy parking on the main road though gets a bit crowded, especially on weekends/late evenings. Great amenities in the house and the bathroom was perfect for what we needed it for :) Great amount of seating and the dining table was perfect.
Cons: The bed in the main room was a quite hard, but we grabbed one of the extra blankets and that helped a lot. The stairs up to the 2nd and 3rd floor were steep. Manageable but we avoided walking up and down through the night. The neighbour was very forceful when we arrived about not blocking her ability to park her own car (though we only saw that car twice in the week we were there). We only parked in front of the house to unload/re-load luggage which worked ok.

Highly recommend!
Pros: We had a great time and explored the Lake District — the house is only about 35–45 minutes’ drive from places like Buttermere and Raven Crag, so I highly recommend it! Ben was very kind and always offered help at any time. The house is very cozy, warm, and clean, which made us really happy — and it even has a fireplace!! 😍❤️🔥 We spent lovely evenings with friends by the fireplace, with wine and conversations. There’s also a backyard, kind of shared with others, but nobody ever disturbed us there 😌 the house is just amazing — highly recommend!
Cons: The only thing is that parking can be a bit tight sometimes

Pros: The downstairs was spacious, the second toilet in the double bedroom was handy.
Cons: No salt and pepper in the kitchen. (We would have brought our own if we'd known).

Great place for a stay on the outskirts of Lake District
Pros: Lots of space in the lounge and dining room and a very well stocked tea and coffee cupboard which was much appreciated. There was an issue with one of the beds which was broken but Ben responded straight away to any issues and we felt well looked after
Cons: The neighbour got very angry about us parking a car outside our / her house and beeped her horn at 12:30 at night.
