Matthew

“Lovely cottage in a great location and overall we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay.”

Whilst we didn’t eat in (apart from breakfast) the accommodation was adequately equipped although whilst acknowledging the limited outside space (& room for storage) the outdoor furniture could maybe do with a bit of an upgrade. Also we felt that there was too much ‘clutter’ (for us) in the cottage, but not a particularly big deal + lots of flies … All in, though, really good; thank you.

“We absolutely loved the cottage, I was particularly drawn to it when booking because of the stream running along side it, and the seat in the window was my favourite spot watching the Dipper flying up & down.”

To look out of the windows and see the fells in every direction was magical.we will defiantly be back, this was our fifth stay in Cumbria and defiantly the best.

“We have visited the cottage eight times over the past years and have always been very pleased with the accommodation.”

However it does appear that, this time and on our last visit in July 2021, the cleaning standards have slipped a little. There was a scheduled all day power cut on the Thursday of this visit about which we were not informed.This rather upset our arrangements for a special day out; not being able to wash before going out and not knowing at what stage the power would be restored.

“The cottage is advertised with a washer dryer , but its only a washer .”

also when the central heating starts up you can smell the oil fired boiler . but besides that it met all our requirements and the location is perfect . We wouldn't hesitate in returning to the property for another holiday .

“Sixth visit to the cottage; this was our first time in summer so it was really nice to be able to use the beutifull garden.”

We have previously always found the cleaning of the cottage to have been to a very high standard unfortunately on this occasion we found the toilet and waste bin in the master bedroom had not been cleaned. Dishwasher out of order. We have recommended friends to the cottage who have booked for September and we have booked our winter break for November. We hope the usual high standard of cleanliness will return.

“The only issue we had was there should have been a blue refuse bag for rubbish - these are apparently left by the council on a Fri morning for the following weeks occupants.”

A neighbour kindly gave us one (the council won't take anything other than the Eden Council blue bag refuse). We waited for the bin men on the morning of departure and left 2 bags for the next occupants - so not sure what had happened the previous week. Its only a small issue but an important one. All in all it was a great place to stay with excellent facilities.

About the location

ULLSWATER

Ullswater is generally considered to encompass three major villages. This includes Glenridding at the south and Pooley Bridge at the north. The second largest lake, at approximately 7.5 miles wide, Ullswater is often regarded as the most beautiful lake in the district. There is dramatic mountain scenery to the south, as well as the gentle hills of the north. This region is popular among walkers, climbers and cyclists of all levels of ability. There are various water sports for all abilities too and lots of family activities. Along with historical sites of interest, Ullswater has a strong nautical history, having been a popular sailing destination for centuries. There are marinas placed all around the lake. Plus a wide range of superb eateries and shops, sure to delight!
Also, on the west side of the lake is the beautiful Aira Force Waterfall. It is one of the National Park’s most popular natural tourist attractions. Glenridding is a particularly popular tourist attraction with mountain walkers. They visit the village to scale England’s third highest peak, Helvellyn.
