“Comfortable and homely cottage in lovely surroundi”
As a family group of grandparents, parents, a baby and a toddler, we were very comfortable and happy in the cottage. The cottage is ideally suited for exploring the Lake District, Pennines and even the Scottish Borders. Or, if you wanted to stay local, the two villages with their very nice pubs, are a short drive or even a walk away. The countryside here is very beautiful and peaceful.

We are so pleased that you felt comfortable and at home in Ravendale cottage. The location of Howscales is perfect for exploring the Lakes, Pennines and Borders but is very special in its own right too. Hope to see you all again some time.
