Guests say
Farleton View is a well-equipped cottage in a quiet location, ideal for exploring the nearby lakes. It offers a lovely kitchen, good views, and a quiet road, making it a cosy home from home. Some guests noted the need for garden maintenance and more attention to cleanliness.
Cleanliness has been a concern for some guests, with reports of a strong cooking smell, overflown shower trays, and unclean kitchen drawers. However, not all reviews mention cleanliness issues.
The location is praised for its quietness, good views, and easy access to the lakes, though some guests missed having local amenities like a village shop or pub nearby.
The property is described as roomy and well-equipped, contributing to guest comfort. However, some guests found issues with harsh towels and steep driveway access.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and necessary household items. However, maintenance issues like overgrown gardens and slow-draining showers have been noted.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property management, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Nice property but needs attentionThe cottage is in a quiet location, well placed for Kendal and the Lake District National Park. The beds were comfortable and clean. The shower was lovely but just slow at flowing the water away, overall it is a nice property, but it needs attention.On arrival there was a musty smell, cobwebs and dust in places, and the sofa cushions were dirty. Some areas feel tired and in need of updating. The back garden is not enclosed and has no gate, which is difficult if you have dogs. The back door lock did not work and, although this was reported, the door was only secured with a security chain, which did not feel adequate.Overall, a pleasant stay in a good location, but cleanliness, maintenance and security needs attention.
