Yes, It is a bit confusing isn't it? but it is a dance of joy, I assure you Thanks for a great grey cell workout, and enjoy your week away. When We took the little one away for a few days, We were at Bouth, The White Hart. Extremely old pub in a very out of the way spot. Great to relax, but no internet and limited phone connection.

Will google that WW.
We are staying at The Coach House, White Moss, Grasmere.
We stayed there last year, and thankfully had good phone reception and decent wi-fi,
