  The cottage is a lovely quirky house with a well maintained garden with stunning views.

  The kitchen dining area was light and spacious with good views and it was a pleasure to sit and watch the birds at the feeder. Unfortunately the rest of the house was dull with a lot of the furnishings tired and worn out, sofas were uncomfortable. The tv was so small a pair of binoculars is needed to watch it. Generally surfaces were sticky or dusty with any cobwebs. A number of items didn't work properly including the microwave, the gas fire in the lounge and the flush system on the toilet in the shower room is broken, In addition there were a large number of lamps or lights either not working or without a bulb. The hand held shower unit in the bathroom is almost impossible to regulate and the shower head in the shower room is to heavy for the fitting being used. This is not a 4 star property.

  Enjoyed our weekend despite the rain!

  Great location with easy access to surrounding area. The lady that lives next door as a permanent resident was a little unpleasant regarding car parking and said we only had space for 2 cars. It would help if this could be clarified with her. The 6 of us had to travel in 5 cars as we came from different areas. The website states there is parking for 3 cars and room for any additional cars on the grass. This needs clarifying on the website and with the resident please. One of us ended up leaving a car up the road in a layby. The information folder in the house is out of date and needs updating. Otherwise a lovely place and would be happy to return, but the parking space does need clarifying

  For our group of 6 walkers, this was ideal with regard to both accommodation and location.

  A few specific points: 1. The scullery area was a really useful room - make more of it in the description 2. The bed by the window in the twin room is so uncomfortably head down due to the sloping floor as to be unusable - one of us had to sleep in the lounge! It needs blocks to level it off. 3. The shower head in the bathroom would be more useful if it it was fixed and protected from wetting the floor 4. Kitchen was very well stocked but we did miss a potato masher!! 5. Considering the high standard of pubs and restaurants in the Lakes, the Sun Inn was a very poor option despite being less than 1km from the house - not much that you can do about that! But the Spa being so close was very helpful.

  Although then photos accurately captures everything, you don’t appreciate how magnificent the view from the garden is until you see it.

  We had the most amazing weather so spent our evenings on the patio which really made our holiday at the end of long days exploring. Cottage is well stocked but perhaps some things you would expect not there but nothing that caused problems. Water temp in shower head over the bath is hard to control, either burning hot or cold which can be an issue. The only real gripe we had is with recycling, we rang the Council to check about this and was told the owner of the cottage does not pay for this service, so you either send everything to landfill in the general bin or do as we did and bring home a week’s worth of recycling. Not great in all sorts of ways.

  The cottage was lovely—very nice and clean.

  The surrounding area was beautiful, but one of the neighbors was extremely annoying and nosy. As soon as we arrived, she came out of her house and started asking us lots of questions. When we went inside and began settling in, bringing our things from the car, she came out again after just a few minutes and rudely asked, "How many times are you going to your car?" For the entire two days, she kept watching us and trying to interfere in our business, which was incredibly frustrating. We chose to ignore her, but I strongly recommend that you speak to her and ask her not to disturb other guests.
