    “We felt the accommodation exceeded expectations enjoyed the peaceful location !”

    Very cosy everything we needed did enjoy the Hot Tub extra bonus. Felt the location was good set between Windermere and Ambleside which we know very well - used the local buses which stopped outside White Cross Bay no need to use your car for getting to visit other Towns and Villages.

    Hi Lynne, thank you for taking the time to send this review, it means a lot to us. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Hilltop, as you say, it is in such a peaceful part of the park and only a few minutes walk to the lake. The regular bus service from the outside the park is so handy. We would love to welcome you back some day. Take care. Donna,Mike and Maisie. Property Owner
