“A quirky layout but we soon got used to it.”

The coat drying cupboard in the boot room was useful, especially as we had to unload the car in a downpour! Comfortable, clean & tidy home from home that we all enjoyed staying in & all said we would like to return to again. Especially lovely was the double aspect view in the sitting room - the smaller side window, giving views of the backing hillside, was particularly pleasing. Thank you to the owner's for sharing this lovely cottage with us.

“There were only three of us staying in the cottage and that was fine.”

Six people would have been crowded. It was a great location for local walks. The cleaning and other basic supplies in the cottage was very poor. Even since covid I have not stayed anywhere lacking in such basics. The garden needs some attention. The parking space is only for one car and it is stretching things too far to say two smart cars.

Thank you for your feedback. Heart of the lakes are in charge of the cleaning and I am sorry that their service was not up to standard on this occasion. The cottage is indeed in a great location and has the charm of many Lakes cottages. The parking bay fits an estate car or camper van comfortably. Property Owner

“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 Information packs are out of date though and we only discovered the games box on the last day when we opened what we thought was a linen basket for our used bedding.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“The information booklets provided in the property are severely out of date providing incorrect contact details, WiFi information, and look to be from a previous owner/company.”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.
