Leonelli House Reviews

Emma
The cottage was charming and cosy, nestled in such beautiful scenery. Perfect base for exploring Cumbria. We had a wonderful time and will return!
Alex
We had a pretty good stay overall. At first, there were a few minor hiccups, like arriving to find a double bed instead of the requested singles. We also needed to ask for a bin since there wasn't one initially. Phone signal was pretty poor, though the WiFi helped a lot. The garden was enclosed but not secure, so you'd need to be careful. A car is a must since nothing's within walking distance, but we still enjoyed some lovely days exploring nearby spots. The hot tub was definitely a highlight! Would recommend.
