Guests say
Little Knott is a charming, quirky cottage in a peaceful rural setting, ideal for exploring the Lake District. Guests praise its unique character, well-equipped kitchen, cosy log fire, and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and sheep. The property is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, with responsive and helpful owners. Some mention minor issues such as road noise, tricky stairs, and occasional hot water or heating quirks, but these do not detract from the overall positive experience. Thoughtful touches and a welcoming atmosphere make it a favourite for many returning guests.
The majority of reviews highlight the cottage as very clean and tidy, with several guests specifically mentioning the high standard of cleanliness on arrival. Only one or two minor comments note a sooty smell or coldness on arrival, but these are outweighed by the positive feedback.
Guests appreciate the cottage's excellent location for exploring the southern Lake District, with easy access to Coniston, Windermere, and other attractions. The peaceful rural setting and lovely views are frequently praised, though a few mention some road noise and the rural main road position.
The cottage is described as cosy, warm, and comfortable, with many guests complimenting the beds and the inviting living spaces. Some mention the stairs and uneven floors may be challenging for those with mobility issues, and a few note thin duvets or less comfortable sofas, but overall comfort is rated highly.
Facilities are well regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen, laundry room, log burner, and enclosed garden. Some guests mention minor issues with hot water, heating, or the log burner, but these are generally resolved or mitigated by alternative heaters and good communication from the owners.
Many guests mention thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts (wine, crisps, cookies, hot chocolate), a real Christmas tree, and helpful communication from the owners. Please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.
