OUTSIDE

A door from the living area opens onto the patio at the rear of the cottage where there are fine views up to Whinlatter forest across our Croftlands House garden. The patio is a peaceful relaxing place to sit and is surrounded by a trellis fence making it secure for dogs. Red squirrels sometimes visit our garden and you might be lucky enough to see them playing in the hazel tree beside the patio. A 'lean to' shed off the patio provides storage space for outdoor equipment such as bikes.
