General Comments: This cottage is in a stunning location and a good position for walking in the surrounding fells. It has easy parking and a really nicely finished shower room off one of the bedrooms. However, there are a number of niggling things that let it down:

- it has a washing machine, but nothing to hang wet clothes on to dry

- it is advertised as having a DVD player in the main room, but in fact this is built in to the small TVs in the two bedrooms, with no DVD player in the main room

- there is nowhere to hang coats

- there seems to be little soundproofing between the cottage and the accommodation above, so we were woken each morning by heavy footsteps and excited children

- the outside seating area with table in the pictures doesn't exist — rather just an old bench is provided

In addition, we couldn't get the spotlights above the kitchen area to work or the tin opener!

Some people mention a problem with mattresses in the bedrooms. We didn't find these to be too bad.

It is a shame, because the cottage could be first class, if some of these things were sorted and more attention paid to detail. There is no doubt it is in a beautiful, peaceful area of The Lakes. We enjoyed our stay generally, but found these issues rather frustrating during our stay.

I really appreciate your feedback and suggestions for improvement and will make sure everything you have mentioned is looked into, thank you.
I hope you can come back to explore more of the Lakes soon.

General Comments: Stunning views, comfortable cottage, so much walking straight from door, ideal for our family, would definitely stay again if seating outside permanently sorted

General Comments: This is a beautiful cottage with an excellent location. It has a beautiful finish in the majority of the property with hardwood floors, new shower and bathrooms etc, although is slightly let down with a couple of points that prevent it from being a 10/10 property. Namely, the beds are either broken, or just really poor quality. The double sags in the middle, meaning 2 people sag into the middle making for a really poor nights sleep. The finish in the second bathroom is let down by the shelf which is nearly falling off.

Largely minor points, although the beds are important. I would book again, but that bed could easily raise it to a 10/10 property rather than 7 or 8
