Very stylishly decorated, whilst being very comfortable and cosy. The owners really have thought of absolutely everything, the cottage is very well equipped and it was the perfect place for our family to spend some quality time together.

cobwebs and multiple bulbs out, toilet seat wrongly sized, small window pane with hole in stairwell window, bathroom floor tiles broken. No welcome basket( a pint of milk and a couple of coffee pods to get started would have been perfect ), nice setting but difficult to find due to its setting at the back of the cottages fronting the road.

Since we found it on the site, we were looking forward to staying there. Very stylish decor and charming touches on the wall. (We like mountains so we want the same posters now) As we have teenagers they want own spaces, but can be gathering at dining space and island kitchen. This cottage was perfect for us. We went different places in Lake District by car and walked to the beach during our stay. We found the footpath just off road outside of cottage where can lead to the bottom of the main road. So we didnât to have to walk main road with our dog. It was good exploring around the beach and town centre on the sunny day. Unfortunately we had a raining day (as usual in Lake District). We just stayed at cottage and had a relaxing time. Only my personal choice but main bed mattress was too soft and so were pillows. The duvet was too warm for me. Unfortunately I couldnât sleep well. I wish I could have a choice of summer duvets and different pillows. Maybe only me, because my husband said ok and kids said beds were good. Overall we enjoyed cottage holiday in Lake District.
