Comment: This is a lovely appartment with plenty of room for our family of four, perfect location for walks from the door around Tarn Hows.
Lovely meal at The Drunken Duck, a little pricey, but worth every penny. Also an excellent meal at the Travellers rest at the foot of Helvelyn, a great reward after the climb.
A great holiday week.
