Well located to cover most of the key attractions associated with The Lake District. Car parking looks tight but actually works very well if you follow the layout in the handbook. To us, the cottage looks either very recently refurbished or incredibly well maintained.

Water was unbelieveably slow in bathroom, owners informed. If you are quite large this property is not for you. Most things were fine but I found the amount of room in the bedroom was too small. Approx. 1 foot of space between bed and wall, if you can't get past you would have to climb over the bed, not very nice for your bed partner in the middle Read moreof the night if you need the toilet. Property next to busy road, not good for light sleepers. Hide

This is a lovely clean, well-equipped Ist floor appartment. The great bonus was a frequent bus service to Keswick or Seatoller. There are also buses to Buttermere and Catbells. Very convenient - and we were entertained when the open top bus had to slow near our window, allowing some amusing interactions with the passengers. There is a plentiful varRead moreiety of walking straight from the property and a tea shop, selling basic provisions, and a week-end community centre bar, in the village. Hide

The cottage is in a perfect location for walking without having to drive anywhere . It was small but comfortable and had a good sized bathroom. Being on the first floor , we had good views while enjoying breakfast and we were able to sit outside in the evening . We would book here again.

Small but big enough for two people. Well equipped on the whole. The upstairs landing provided useful extra space for outdoor gear. We would not recommend this apartment as big enough to accommodate more than a very small dog, if you have one. Location is superb.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable week staying in Silver How. Whilst small, it was perfect for the two of us and had everything we needed. The garden was a lovely place to sit and have a post-walk drink! In terms of location, it couldn't have been better with many walks straight from the doorstep, a pub just up the road and a lovely farm cafe 150m awayRead more. Highly recommended. Hide
