“Cleanliness was very poor.”

Dirty sock in the second bedroom (I note that this has been highlighted by other customers).No instructions on how to use the heating, cookers or fire. Found the cooker and fire generic instructions in a draw after a few days, but a summary would have been very useful. A few hooks in the kitchen and bathroom would be useful and at minimum cost.

“On arrival we had a slight issue with the heat alarm and reported this resulting in a very quick response time from the Lakelovers team.”

“The cottage is lovely and cozy but the road was busier then advertised.”

Also the twin beds weren’t made into twins - it was made as a double. We didn’t ring as the kids were fine in the end but it says made into twins automatically unless requested otherwise. The cottage itself needs a new lick of paint - their were some odd patches on the walls. The shower could also do with some mould spray around some edges and maybe a couple of extra towels

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that the beds were set up incorectly for your stay. We would have been happy to send a cleaner back to set these up correctly for you for future reference. Since your stay the property has had some paint work throughout. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we hope we can welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

“List of issues with the cottage: ...”

List of issues with the cottage: • Children's beds in the wrong configuration upon arrival • Washer broken when we came to use it on our second day • One of the tall glasses in cupboard was cracked • One cup in cupboard full of dirty water, spilling over us • Large tray in the top oven was greasy and unwashed • One of the outside wooden chairs broken • Pillows in the master bedroom smelt like wet dog Suggestions: • We felt that the bed in the master bedroom was far too small • A grater would be useful in the kitchen • A smart tv would allow connectivity for guest devices • Clothes airer would be helpful

“The holiday cottage location is perfect and as listed.”

The house, however is not very clean. The upstairs had not been hoovered and there were collar stiffeners from the previous guests left in the bedroom. The decor is a bit tired in places and the bathroom has quite a lot of mould.

“A bath mat would have been useful also spare toilet roll.”

In the kitchen a small chopping board would have come in handy. A small carton of fresh milk in the fridge would be helpful after a long journey. All the cottage had been thoroughly cleaned.

“Gorgeous cottage in fab location.”

Very clean and well equipped (I want a cutlery drawer like that!). The only thing that could be improved would be a little personal touch like a welcome package of tea, milk, bread etc. And maybe some more instructions re heating etc.

“Good accommodation, excellent position.”

Please note when it says parking for a medium sized car. We took my car (Clio) but anything much bigger would struggle.

“This is our second visit to Acorn cottage, all though it was a number of years ago.”

The decor is tired, and could do with a refresh, especially the stairs and kitchen. Appliances in kitchen are of a good standard. The rainfall shower could do with a new head as doesn't come out with the force you would expect. I feel for the money a small supply of wood would have been a nice touch. I love the location of this cottage you cannot beat that. It is a cosy cottage and to he beds were very comfortable, just the thing after a days walking.

The property

If you're looking for an enchanting, perhaps romantic Lakeland retreat, Acorn Cottage is just that. A surprisingly spacious timber-built cottage, sheltered from the bustle of the village and perched on a rocky ledge to give fabulous views across the valley. Fall in love with the pretty traditional decor; wood beams, stable door, local-stone fireplace... warm in winter and bliss in summer as you take to the patio to admire the view across to Heron Pike. == Accommodation in detail On-lane parking for medium-sized car, just outside the house. Approach via a flight of stone steps. Open-plan ground floor living area includes wide window with splendid views, T-shaped sitting space with woodburning stove, and french door to small back patio. Space for boots and coats under the stairs, which lead to one double bedroom and one spacious bedroom with zip link bed which can be made into a twin or super king (please specify when booking). Upstairs house luxury shower room with walk in monsoon shower. Location Grasmere lies right at the heart of the Lake District National Park, and is renowned for the scenic surroundings that inspired William Wordsworth to write his best-loved poetry. From your quaint country retreat, stroll to the lively village centre, stock up at the supermarket, admire art galleries and relax in excellent restaurants and cafes. Don your boots and explore a range of short walking routes that surround Grasmere and Rydal Water. Short drives take you to Easedale Tarn or the start-point of an ascent of Helvellyn. Grasmere's central location makes Acorn Cottage an ideal base for exploring the very best of the Lake District.

About the location

GRASMERE

Ambleside 5 miles; Windermere 9 miles; Keswick 13 miles.

Situated in the heart of the Lake District National Park is the lovely village of Grasmere, probably best known as the home of William Wordsworth, a place he once described as "The most loveliest spot that man hath found". Any visit to Grasmere needs to include The Grasmere Gingerbread shop, where the Wilson family has been making gingerbread for over 60 years. Also in the village are a number of shops, pubs, a church which dates back to the 13th century, and Grasmere Lake. Grasmere Sports takes place every August, where you can watch participants compete in a variety of sports, including Cumberland wrestling. Just five miles away is the town of Ambleside and Lake Winderemere where you will find shops, pubs, restaurants and the 17th century Bridge House, which is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District. Cruises, boat trips and watersports can all be enjoyed on Lake Windermere, and the towns of Windermere and Keswick are also within driving distance. Grasmere is a wonderful base for your Lake District retreat.

Please note this property has a zip link bed. This will be made as a twin by default. Please contact the call center should you wish it to be a super king.
