    Beautiful setting. Lovely place to walk. Great place to sit and relax for the day. Fishing possible with a licence. Great place to watch the sunset

    One of my favourite areas of the Lakes, though it is nearby, so I may be biased. Tourist numbers are not overwhelming. Some of the loveliest views in the Lakes and very accessible, especially the Forestry Commission properties that have wide gravelled paths, cafes and family friendly activities.

    One work "delicious" definately the best place to have breakfast, 8 have very serious food allergies and these are taken very seriously and catered for. We always go while in the lakes and definately would recommend, very friendly helpful staff and beautiful surroundings. Keep up the good work and we look forward to visiting again.
