Review:

Greenbank is the most fantastic cottage to stay if you have dogs. The more the merrier! Holiday dog tags and throws are provided and there is a beautiful fully enclosed and safe wood in the garden to run in. The cottage was very nice but the location is fantastic. Lots of fabulous walks in the lovely Lake District. Great pub half a mile away. Organic food can be delivered ready for your arrival.

 
Specifically Recommend: Dog-lovers very welcome. Beautiful location. (We also took our pet rabbit on holiday!)

Owners’ Right to Reply:
We are delighted that our guests have awarded us so many 5 stars in their reviews, and were really glad they enjoyed their holidays so much, but potential visitors please be aware that all 3 properties at Greenbank are in fact 4-star rated in the offical Visit Britain scheme. We would hate anyone to arrive and be disappointed!

We do PARTICULARLY welcome dogs - the more the merrier! For full details of all our accommodation please visit our web site here
