Dear Sir or 1 madam
I am writing to enquire about the possibility of renting Hillside Cottage for three weeks in the summer.
I will be travelling to the Lake District with my parents and brother. We plan to arrive in London on 14 July, but do not wish to hire a car. I would be grateful if you could inform me of the best way to reach the cottage by public transport.
Although the advertisement states that the cottage has two bedrooms, it is not clear whether the second room is large enough for two people to share. I wonder if you could clarify this point.
Finally, I would like to know what leisure activities are available in the area surrounding the cottage. We are particularly interested in horse riding.
I look forward to receiving your reply in due course.
Yours 2 faithfully,
Tom Baker
