Mr Smith
September 2020

“It was disappointing that it was such limited access to the pool, why when you understandably due to the virus, have to book 1 hour slots.”

Why do you have the pool open only 1-6 and closed on certain days, on my break I was unable to book a swim on Monday for Wednesday and I was only at the cottage Mon, Tues and Wednesday so couldn’t use the pool.

Why do you have the pool open only 1-6 and closed on certain days, on my break I was unable to book a swim on Monday for Wednesday and I was only at the cottage Mon, Tues and Wednesday so couldn’t use the pool. The extractor fan in the bathroom didn’t work, the cutlery draw and some of it’s contents were dirty and on the last night when we needed the oven for the first time it didn’t work.

There are many pleasant inns, teashops, guest houses and gift shops in the village, as well as the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which houses an annually changing exhibition of the famous author’s illustrations and stories. The other famous Hawkshead enthusiast, William Wordsworth, attended the Old Grammar School in 1779-87, which still stands today, and you can visit the building where the Lakeland poet developed his love of the form, and even see the desk into which he scratched his name as a small boy! Newby Bridge is ten miles away and offers attractions such as the Aquarium of the Lakes and Windermere Lake Cruises, sailing daily between Ambleside, Bowness and Lakeside.
