  The cottage itself was beautiful.

  3 good sized double bedrooms were perfect. Beds really comfy. One bedroom en suite up some steps as stated and decent main bathroom. Kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook in. Dinning room good size, living room really cosy and log burner was great.. a perfect place to chill at the end of a long day walking. We only ended up eating out 1 night as it was so lovely staying in. Useful utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer and place to dry wet boots and clothes. Which really helped us as weather wasn’t great. Heating really easy to use and cottage warms up really quickly and plenty of hot water. Downsides… the cottage is right next to a main road…surprisingly this was not actually too noisy other than first thing in the morning, but main problem is that access is via the back… when we arrived the path was a full flowing stream… you would need welly boots to get through so we had to unload at the front (there is a slight pull in, but it is a main road) and then park at back and walk back round to to the front. Other days the stream became a trickle so we could use the back entrance using walking boots. Back garden is beautiful but the stream situation is a problem. Lovely area in general… good access to both Lake District and local beaches. Good info at the house.

  We had the best time staying at Colt Park over the Christmas period.

  We packed a bag of things we might need for the Christmas dinner but didn’t need to bring a thing! The owners have thought of everything. The cottage was beautiful, clean and the owners had even decorated it for Christmas which was lovely. The hot tub was probably the best we have ever used, with great jets and perfect for relaxing after a day walking and exploring. Parking is great, large area off road to the side of property and secure. The garden was secure for the dog and we found a lovely walk from the cottage to the beachfront. I would say the location is perfect for quiet relaxing time away, Ulverston and the lakes are within reach by car however there is limited things to do in walking distance due to there being no pavements. This didn’t affect us as we just hopped in the car to places but if you prefer to walk to places I wouldn’t say this is the place for you. The owners had wonderful communication texting us before our arrival and during our arrival to make sure we was comfortable or if there was anything we needed. They left a lovely welcome hamper and some balls and blankets for the dog which was so kind. This is truly a wonderful cottage and place to stay. We will definitely be returning. Thanks so much x

  We did enjoy our stay at the cottage but did feel that there were a couple of things which should be addressed.

  You refer to a deep clean taking place prior to us taking possession of the cottage. There was certainly no deep clean - I have a picture I took but there's nowhere to download it to on here so I will email separately. My in-laws had dropped some tablets down the back of the bedroom drawers - it was a sight to behold. Cobwebs along with dirty clothing - which did not belong to us. Secondly, the cottage is situated on a very busy main A road - there is constant noise of traffic, and not just cars. As it's a main road, there is a continual flow of tankers and large lorries passing through. Not only that but the cottage is situated near to the traffic lights on a bridge, so it gets backed up as lorries can't turn around the corners of the windy road - so not only do they block the daylight when sitting outside the lounge/dining room windows - the drivers can see you sat down. We actually live in a small village where it's very quiet - so this element was very disappointing. Also with us having a small dog made it quite terrifying to open the front door in case he escaped as he would have been injured or killed had he got out - the pictures on the website certainly deceive you into thinking it's a quiet little country lane!!

  We have just returned from a lovely week’s stay at Rainbow Cottage as a group of 4 adults and 2 young children.

  The house was spotlessly clean and very nicely presented. The location is great, the village has a brilliant play park and we enjoyed the food at the pub. We found it a great base to explore the local area. Things we loved: gorgeous views, well equipped kitchen, nice open living space, ample bathrooms, very quiet, high chair and children’s utensils were really handy. Things I’d improve: The towels provided are tiny! Almost like large hand towels, some bath sheets would be a nice addition. The wifi was very slow and the reach of the router very poor, could do with a better quality router box. We all hurt our shins on the very sharp edges of the wooden bed frames! Furniture while nice quality, is a bit bulky and cumbersome in the smaller rooms. Would’ve preferred a simple chest of drawers and some hanging hooks in bedroom 2 so there could’ve been a bit more space for 2 adults to move around. Overall we had a great week and we would definitely stay again. Thanks for having us!

  We recently stayed at Rainbow cottage over Christmas.

  Donna called me a few days before to see if we had any questions or needed anything etc. Upon arrival we instantly fell in love with the cottage. With a teenager, two babies and a dog we sometimes struggle to find a cottage that has everything we need and that caters for everyone. This was not the case here in any way shape or form. The cottage had everything we needed and more. The cottage was immaculate and was extremely comfortable. It really did feel like a home from home. Our youngest unfortunately became ill whilst we were here (apologies to the neighbours for the upset crying in the middle of the night!) but because the cottage was so lovely it helped us to keep her as comfortable as possible while she got better. We are already looking at dates for us to stay again. Thank you for the special touches Donna and the presents under the tree. Your thoughtfulness and attention to detail did not go unnoticed at all. We cannot wait to stay at Rainbow cottage again. X
