  A well equipped and delightful property which we would recommend to anyone.

  Just a few niggles with the management of the property. which we hope that the Owners will find constructive 1 Key safe Arrived in the dark, and couldn't find it. Fortunately H.O.L helped out. The location description is - wrong. Try this-- Locate the middle door - the one with High Lindeth above it. The safe is on the back of the right hand Balcony support post.-----Better still. why not put the safe at the front of the pillar- where it can be seen!! 2. Hair dryers We asked in advance whether Dryers were provided and were tole NO. Our ladies brought 3 with them, which made a total of 7 when added to the 4 we found on the bedrooms!! 3. Green Dot Emergency lights. In the main (with ensuite) bedroom, one of the Green dot lights had failed and had been replace with a full light which was on all the time. This had been taped over with gaffer tape, but flickering light escaping round the edge kept us awake on the first night. A call to H.O.L led to the light being disconnected. Other bulbs in this system don't appear to be working- a full safety check tis needed. 4. Logs We enquired about supply of Logs and were given a number by H.O.L. On ringing we found that the man had retired. He gave us a number for for maintenance who supplied us with logs. The number is NOT the one given in the H.O.L. book. 5 Dustbins The H.O.L book contains one page saying bins are collected on Wednesday and another one saying Thursday. 6. H.O.L Book. The text in this book needs revising and updating

  The whole experience from start to finish was amazing.

  I've read other feedback on this property & where negative it was unjust, yes it's not a mansion (it's a cottage) however it was ample size for 5 of us (3 children) & even though there was space in the cottage for 'me time' the whole point was to spend family time & the beautiful outdoors meant we ventured out every day. Yes the table is a little sticky but that's down to the varnish finish & it wasn't dirty in the slightest. The place was clean & looked picturesque. The dryer isn't the best but the fact it has one is a bonus. The beds were comfortable, along with the duvet & pillows, almost too comfortable making getting up that little harder. The heating was very good, on occasions we had to open a window to balance the temperature, probably because we didn't get round to looking how to set the thermostats. The boiler did have a little issue on one if the mornings however we called the help number provided & by the time we got back from a short outing the engineer was on site & quickly fixed the issue - great service. The fridge freezer is big enough to stock up & the kitchen had everything needed to cook up meals. Large Asda just 15 mins drive away & another supermarket nearer at Windermere, so this place was ideally located. Great views from the window, more than a cottage it was an experience.

  One of the most comfortable, pleasant houses we have stayed at in the area.

  Spacious yet warm with a lovely calming atmosphere and many personal touches which made it all the more interesting in comparison to many otherwise bland holiday cottages. Feels very much like an existing family home. Views from upstairs are lovely. I came here to rest and write, but those seeking easy access to transport and local shops (not to mention being just around the corner from the lake, will love it as a base. Being slightly set back from the road with trees and only private parking to the rear lends this property a quieter feel compared to many others in the area. The interior is much nicer than the online photos' with good wifi, a cozy fire and smart tv. Only issue I would mention is that the freezer is in the cellar, which might not be a great idea for those wishing to nip down for ice cubes whilst drinking alcohol. The stone steps are steep! The downstairs fridge could do with an ice compartment for this reason. Washing machine, cooker etc all excellent. The property has it's own dedicated parking space at the rear, which is easy to locate as the door number is painted on it clearly. We were very sad to say goodbye!

  We had to stay in on three seperate occasions for the heating system to be looked at .

  From no hot water in the bath and shower to boiling hot heating in one room and then freezing cold for the rest of our holiday . Eventually we were left over christmas with no heating . There were other issues which I won't bother going into . I bought the Complaint to Sykes who took it up with the owners who said " the issues are resolved " and that what that ! No sorry , no refund of any kind . Frankly if that was my property I would've given some refund . I would've also apologised for a very uncomfortable stay . I book a lot of cottages with Sykes and this was not up to usual standard . I wasn't going to leave a review as I thought I'd wait to see if the owners were going to offer something back . It wasn't a cheap stay . We were there for over ten days . No sanitiser , no bleach , blunt knives , short duvet cover the main bedroom . No welcome basket . Not even salt or pepper . The feeling of meaness hangs in the air at Millrace . However it was clean . Would not recommend .

  A great property for 2 families and 1 dog.

  It's a bit tired and needs a bit of maintenance. But rental price reflects that as its very good value. Very comfortable beds, fully equipped with everything that was stated on the booking site. Bins were overflowing when we arrived, could have provided a few spare bin bags and a few extra toilet rolls and some cleaning cloths. So bring these along with you Garden could do with being more dog friendly, especially in a dog friendly property. Not enclosed at all , small stone walls that she easily could jump over. Our dog was kept on the lead when outside as lots of rabbits. Otherwise can't fault it. Views were stunning and everything was clean and kitchen was stacked with utensils, pans and cooking equipment. I've only marked the house slightly down due lack of general maintenance and the garden. Only thing you could do is provide a recycling bin for plastic waste. Sadly No acces to windermere or the bench on the latest picture .Thank you for a lovely stay. We Would stay again.
