White Moss Reviews

WS Newcastle
7th May 2025
Excellent location, easy access to other parts of the Lakes through bus and rail networks as well as walking distance to the local shops and amenities. The house was spacious and clean. We would definitely return and would fully recommend this for large families and groups looking for a spacious place to stay.

Location fantastic close to amenities, walks and mountain biking from the doorstep. Plenty of room, very warm and comfy. Well equipped but could do with a little tlc in particular update of bathroom flooring (carpet not good in a bathroom).
