"We have stayed here twice now. It is in a lovely quiet location, has its own drive and parking space, nice big garden, It is spacious inside and we'll equipt. It was nice to see new carpets throughout, new sofas, lighting and new lick of paint. It's so quiet and peaceful. It's only about a mile and a half away from Hawkeshead by car and a 25 minute walk across the fields, also Ambleside just up the road. Lovely walks from the cottage and beautiful scenery. Also lovely fluffy towels provided.The only drawback was The double bed was very uncomfortable from last time we stayed, myself and my husband after a few nights ended up with backache.On arrival a few of the main light bulbs didn't work, the shower wasn't cleaned from previous occupants and there were cobwebs behind the sofa. We weren't too fussed about the light bulbs and I cleaned the shower. We would love to stay there again but have been told its being sold."

"Warm, solid house, within easy walk of Hawkshead. Visited with snow on the hills and the heating, hot water and woodburner made coming back from walks, very enjoyable and relaxed. Beds comfortable, bath nice and deep, plenty of good reading material to dip into. Don't be put off by the long and convuluted instructions about which gate to enter, you just use the higher of the two and don't be scared off by all the talk of rights of access, you just don't walk beyond the cottage. The kitchen crockery is a bit chipped and the bins don't open but otherwise, well ordered and comfortable. Being semi detached and having a shared garden don't know how much privacy you'd have in the summer if the other cottage was occupied but lots of scope to make new friends."

"Overall we enjoyed are stay at this idyllic remote cottage however it wasn't without the odd flaw. The furniture was a little tatty and the t.v. was very dated and serious need of a very inexpensive upgrade. Much had been said online about the central heating been hard to understand but i didnt have too much trouble but i still found it tricky getting the right balance if hear throughout the house. I suspect the thermostat mat be faulty in some areas as the settings on screen were nothing like the reality of temperature in the rooms. All these were minor grievances considering the stunning location. Would certainly recommend but a few hundred pound been spent here and there would make a difference to some of the more fussier visitors."

"A perfect holiday cottage for two couples as each floor has its own bedroom and bathroom with a communal lounge and kitchen in the middle. I would certainly stay again!We loved the decor and furnishings, which were all top quality. The location was great for us as it is right in the centre of Hawkshead, with lots of walks on the doorstep. The local Co-Op convenience store is well stocked, and open 7-10, but the nearest proper supermarket is in Windermere.A tumble drier would be a useful addition to the utility room as there is no outside space to dry clothes and we had to put the radiators on unnecessarily. It would have also been very helpful for us if towels had been provided."

"Arrived to a dirty cottage. Mattresses were damp damaged and also dirty. Wife wouldn't stay beyond two hours so went home with a very upset 3 year old who was having her holiday taken away. Really disappointed given the previous good reviews and comments but can only review on our experience.Returned mid week to take pictures as holiday company were very unhelpful to find some repair work on some of the things we had pointed out and painting of walls being carried out so I guess it will be in a better state for the next guests but still there was an almost denial that anything was wrong.Worst holiday cottage experience we have had and we visit frequently to the lake district."
