The perfect location………. Inspired by our guests

In Wall and Lakes Holiday cottage we have a little guest book and this afternoon I was sitting reading it.  It made me smile and appreciate our wondergful location.  Here are some guest comments, they are really getting out and about walking sections of Hadrian’s Wall, enjoying local stunning scenery, and exploring The Lake District National Park.  Check out our ‘out and about’ section for details on these and many more things to do.
