Beautiful area, lovely village and a pretty cottage. However it was dirty, we had to wash every kitchen utensil before we could use them. The sofa was covered in dog hair, so much so that we had to brush our clothes down before we went out. The shower cubicle has mould in the grout which is making it smell. There is a real H&S issue with a rise in the floor level on the landing, it is covered in carpet so that it isn't visible, I hate to think what a fall hazard this is for someone with poor stability. It was a disappointment and these issues had already been raised in the visitors book (in Feb), but not addressed.

We enjoyed our holiday in the cottage. It was close to the bus stop so we left the car on the drive all week. We used the hob and the microwave to prepare our meals as my friend is coeliac which made it easier than trying to find somewhere she and I could both eat.The notes in the Wecome Book were useful and if the weather had not been so hot we might have attempted more walks.We would have liked to have had something we could hang a bit of washing on -too small for a wash load :however we managed to dry socks on the kitchen windowsill.

Lovely little cottage ideally located close to pubs & cafes of Grasmere. Great to have off road parking, didn't use the car all week. Beautiful walks of all levels right from the front door.
