The property is a comfortable base for exploring the Lake District, despite some comments about mattress comfort and distance to popular areas.
Guests consistently mention the cottage being very clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating a high standard maintained by the hosts.
The location is praised for its peacefulness and views, though some guests note the distance to Windermere/Ambleside and pubs. It is considered a great base for exploring the area.
The majority of guests find the cottage comfortable and well-sized for families. However, there are a few remarks about an uncomfortable mattress, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage being well-equipped and offering a play area for children. One mention of a bunk bed needing replacement slightly impacts the score.
While the reviews reflect positively on the hosts' welcoming nature and the well-equipped cottage, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

The owners really have done an excellent job with this one . A lot of thought has gone into the layout and everything you need is provided . We were a family of 4 and had an excellent stay here . Itâs far enough away from Keswick to avoid the crowds but close enough to drive into. Plenty of walking routes close by and loads for the kids to do . We will definitely stay here again . Thank you for an excellent holiday .

The cottage is designed to showcase the views and natural light.The cottage is decorated to a high level, everything has been provided for you whether you want to cook a 3 course meal or have a takeaway on your lap. The hosts are so friendly and welcoming, as are their animals. Harry the cat came for cuddles and dreamies every night, he even brought his shy brother along for a fuss and treats. We had an amazing stay, it's perfect located to visit so many places, a week there wasn't long enough, we definitely did not want to leave.

We were made so welcome! The dogs, chickens and cats were a constant source of entertainment. Loved the sheep and cattle passing by as this working farm went about its usual business. A highlight for me was going to close the bedroom window - Stable Cottage is an upside down house - to find some curious cows looking in the window at me
