“We had the most fabulous holiday at The Old Police House, thank you for allowing us to experience your beautiful home amid breath-taking scenery.”
We arrived on Friday 1st December to a frosty landscape. We were overjoyed to wake up on Saturday morning to a veritable Winter Wonderland - perfect as it was my 40th birthday celebration! We felt we were on the set of "The Holiday'! The heavy snow continued all day and we had to abandon plans to drive for lunch to Ambleside, but never mind, as we were accommodated at The Wordsworth Hotel in the village, which was delightful. The evening was spent making snowmen in your front garden, feeding the birds and having lots of fun! We loved the location of the house, such a short, easy stroll to a fantastic selection of cafes, pubs, art galleries, shops, co-op. The toy shop in the village has to be the best toy shop we have been in, our children loved it! We also enjoyed exploring the wider area by car (once the snow had melted), some fantastic countryside. Now to the house: we appreciate the high quality of the build and décor. We have had everything we have needed, from crisp white bedding and fluffy towels to a superbly equipped kitchen, bathrooms etc. We have been warm and found the downstairs lounge particularly cosy. Great selection of DVD's, books, games. The children in our party (13, 5 and 2 years) have loved being here. The eight of us have had plenty of room to spread out over the different lounges. The house was extremely clean and smelt clean. We met your cleaner, she is lovely and an asset to your team. We appreciated that all furniture well maintained and comfy. To have made the stay even better, we would have liked a dining table that seated all 8 of us in the party, so that we could have shared meals together. Two did sit at the breakfast bar, but an 8 seater dining table would be welcomed. Some hooks in bathrooms to hang up dressing gowns, clothes etc would have been helpful and a welcome pack (milk, few teabags, biscuits etc.) would be a nice touch for guests. Thank you once again, Graham and Caroline for a fabulous stay. We will definitely recommend and hope to return in the future :)
Thank you for your feedback, it is always welcome. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and all that the house offers.
The dining table is designed for 8 people, and there are 8 chairs, although these sometimes get removed from the dining area to the rest of the house. We will try and ensure that the chairs are returned to their correct location if they are moved.
We hope you will return to The Old Police House soon.
