It is one of 5 traditional Lakeland stone and slate cottages, which were converted from a Victorian toffee works owned by the famous Kendal Mint Cake company and now offers comfortable modern holiday accommodation. The large living/dining area opens onto a small enclosed patio which receives afternoon and evening sun, with the gentle sound of the bubbling Mill Beck a safe fenced off distance below.
