convenient location fresh milk tea selection luggage storage
The location proved excellent. It allowed easy access to Derwent Water, a mere short walk. The hosts supplied fresh milk and a selection of teas in the room. They also provided luggage storage on my first and last day, so I could explore freely.
The shower temperature was tricky to adjust, but I managed.
