Blaithwaite Stables is a well-equipped cottage offering a quirky layout and quality bed linen. It features great showers, ample space for large groups, and enjoyable grounds with games. The hot tub and outdoor area add to the charm, although there's a suggestion for an extra fridge and a note on hot tub maintenance.
The property generally seems well-kept, but there is a concern about the hot tub's cleanliness, as it appeared cloudy and possibly not cleaned prior to arrival. This suggests room for improvement in maintenance routines.

Fabulous weekend with family with ages 4 - 65 and despite weather we had a fab time. Lovely walks and loved the original features of the house - very quirky layout! Kitchen well equipped and bed linen excellent quality. Showers great and grounds with the games were a great feature!

We were there for my 80th birthday and it was a mixture of ages and everyone had a great time, the bedrooms catered for us all and the downstairs spaces were large enough to accommodate everyone.The hot tub was a bonus and was used by the younger ones, I bet it's even better in summer when you can use the lovely outdoor area at the stables.Just one suggestion, you could put an extra fridge under the stairs as we did struggle for space in the one fridge, it's just a thought.
