Visitors' Book - Thrang

August 2011 - wet week! This cottage is in a great remote location, if you want to walk from the door, this is the place for you, if you want to go out and visit places - Ambleside, Coniston etc it will take at least 45 mins to drive anywhere - but that is rather the point!
The power shower is lovely after a days walking but the bathroom itself is rather dank and as you have to go through the barn bit to it (it's only a step really) it's a bit disappointing (there are many suggestions as to how this can be cured in the visitors book!). Take your slippers!

Fill the freezer then you need only walk all week

NB If I lived there I'd cut down the shrubby trees in the "garden" so the views are better - just a thought.

we have had a lovely 3 days ar Thrang, it is a lovely cottage in a stunning setting,with fab walks from the door, however my tips for staying in this cottage are 1. take your slippers the floors are lovely to look at but cold to walk on 2. take your walking boots or wellies to get from car to cottage 3.realise that the range was never meant to be a roaring fire and 4.November to March take your hot water bottle

We just got back from a dreamy week at Thrang. I can definitely recommend for anyone looking for a truly isolated, quiet break. The Duddon Valley, in which the cottage stands, is less visited than the more famous Lake destinations and as a consequence has an even greater sense of unspoilt beauty. The cottage is perfectly located for great walks straight out of the door.
