“Property is far smarter than photos on the website depict.”

Stunning views from all aspects.Kitchen very well equipped and comfortable lounge suite and very comfortable beds. Information packs are out of date though and we only discovered the games box on the last day when we opened what we thought was a linen basket for our used bedding. Stairs quite steep. Ideal location for Lakeland walkers. The car had a holiday too! Thoroughly recommend.

“The information booklets provided in the property are severely out of date providing incorrect contact details, WiFi information, and look to be from a previous owner/company.”

Additionally the property is 100% electric meaning the heating, cooker and hob are all electrical so if a power cut occurs like it did for us you have no means of hot water, heating, or facilities to cook with. Whilst acts of nature cannot be predicted reasonable facilities could have been provided in the property such as backup method of cooking, initial supply of fuel for burner, candles, blankets, etc. We had power for the first night only and were forced to leave early due to no ability to cook anything in the property. Overall we still had an enjoyable stay it was just a shame we were forced to leave early due to a lack of provisions for potential power cuts.

“Beautiful cottage in a great location for the Langdale area, Ambleside, Windermere, Grasmere etc.”

The cottage has lovely bedrooms with plenty of space for clothes. There is also a drying cupboard and a great little boot room space for getting ready. Four toilets meant we never had to fight over the bathroom! A great place to stay.

“House was plenty warm enough, comfortable and good for 3.”

Bathrooms recently redone and are very nice, upstairs bedrooms nice. Location is absolutely superb with walks from the door up and down river, and up onto the hills behind the house. A very short drive also takes you to many other fab walks or to Ambleside for a bit of shopping. Decent pub a couple of mins walk. Lounge sofas are not very comfy and a few lightbulbs need replacing. It also looks like the soil pipe from the loo next to the kitchen has a wee leak outside. If I owned the place, I'd be tempted to get an architect in to look at remodelling the middle level, opening it up a bit to create more space and light - depending on planning restrictions it could be super fab! All in all, a well located, comfy place and good value too.

“Property has had several updates since last year, none of which are reflected in the outdated website photos.”

When staying in one property for a single week you get fresh towels and bedding, plus a clean property on arrival. Stay in that property for two weeks and you get ripped off as you pay the same rate but don't have replacement towels/bedding or the property cleaned - this is an overdue issue that needs to be addressed. You are not passing on the same costs to the property owner, therefore it's a simple action for you to provide a discount for the second week if you are not going to provide the full range of services...

“Hi - Lovely property in a lovely location.”

Note that the property wasn't 'four in a bed' clean. Crumbs on the sofa and under the pillows. Olive (!!!) on the window ledge. Also there is NOT room for two Ford Focus size cars in the parking space. It is 3.5m deep and the car is 4.5m long. To stick out 1m onto the narrow lane would be insulting to the locals and a disaster waiting to happen. We'd go again at the price we paid - not the Covid enhanced price.

The Langdale Valley attracts visitors all the year round with its magical mix of fine walking, beautiful scenery, pretty villages and good pubs so we are delighted to offer Underfell to our guests who will surely enjoy a holiday in this lovely cottage. There is much to do in the area and very little need to use the car once you have settled in. Chapel Stile has an excellent local shop and cafe, the famous Wainrights Inn and good local bus services with walks onto The Langdale Pikes, Silver How, Crinkle Crags, Pike o'Blisco and Bowfell all start in Langdale and you can also extend your walks to include Scafell Pike, Great Gable and other major peaks. For easier days take the level paths to Elterwater for the Britannia Inn and beyond to Skelwith Bridge. Accommodation: The cottage is on three floors with the front door on the middle level up a few steps and into the hallway (wc and basin). The kitchen is to the right and has lovely views over the village. A cosy sitting room (flat screen smart TV, wi-fi), has multi-fuel stove and bay window with open views. There is a separate dining room where you can relax and chat over family meals and late breakfasts. House bathroom (bath, separate shower, basin and wc). Boot/coat room next to the back door. Rear courtyard where there is a well set up utility room.Stairs from the hallway lead down to a comfortable four-poster double room (king-sized bed) with a newly fitted en-suite wc. and basin.Two further bedrooms are on the top floor - a double and a twin together with a further wc. and basin on this floor and a peaceful little sitting area where you can relax away from the rest of your party. The double room also has a basin and TV. Outside: The terraced patio garden is on various levels with steps and places to sit outside and enjoy the setting. Parking is in an off-road bay outside the cottage where there is room for two small cars (smart) carefully parked. A few minutes walk to local shop/coffee shop and pub.
