Upon our arrival at St Giles, we spent 1/2 hour trying to retrieve the key from the key safe only to be told (after we rang Lake Lovers) that the code in the email they had sent us was the wrong code!
Upon entry to the extremely cold cottage, we lose another hour trying to fathom the heating which is not as described in the cottage instructions, nor on the Lake Lovers website: the thermostat described in the instructions and the oil fired boiler described on the website no longer exist and there are no instructions how to use the air source heat pump that's replaced them! The hour and a half lost, trying to get into the cottage and then trying to heat it meant we missed our dinner reservation at the Britannia Inn! Despite setting the heating and the water to be permanently on, 24/7, the cottage was only just warm enough and on one evening we ran out of water after just 2.5 showers (after which we discovered the water tank had an immersion heater). In all other respects St Giles is a really, really lovely cottage. All the rooms appear to have been recently decorated and the little touches (the pictures and ornaments, the books and games, etc) make it very homely. The appliances and the fittings in the kitchen, the bathroom and the shower room are all quality, modern, stylish, clean and work really well. The beds are really firm, very comfortable with quality bed linen. The towels are large and still nice and fluffy. The shower gel and shampoo dispensers are a nice touch. The single room for cooking, eating and sitting wouldn't suit everyone but it worked very well for us. There's a few mud stains on the carpet next to the front door but otherwise, and with the obvious exception of the heating, this is a near-perfect cottage.

Having stayed at St Giles at least 6 times over the past few years we were so pleased to see what a great make over the new owners had done!
The bathrooms were quite luxurious now and all bedrooms very comfortable, clean and a lovely touch to have gorgeous toiletries available. The cottage was also beautifully warm, which was most appreciated after some long winter hiking. We were disappointed not to have the Leisure Passes available as on previous visits but understand why this was not now an option. Only thing which was a slight problem (and did leave a small note for housekeeping) was the freezer compartment within the fridge was totally frozen up and therefore unable to use at all. Would have been helpful to just pop a few things in and certainly needed doing the summer months. Also, perhaps might be worth noting for future guests that although it does state 2 car parking spaces the one outside the front door is extremely tight, especially if you have a larger vehicle. You need to park very tightly up against the wall and this could be quite an issue for St Giles guests (should there be 2 vehicle spaces needed) and/or occupants of the cottage driveway directly opposite to try and manoeuvre in or out. Otherwise, enjoyed a lovely holiday and hope to return soon. Thank you.

Overall we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and may stay there again in the future.
That said, when we arrived we were unpleasantly surprised by the amount of cobwebs along the ceiling throughout the house and especially in the bathroom. We also found a lot of kitchen utensils in the drawers that were not properly cleaned. Additionally, the ceiling is rather low for two very average Dutch people (approx. 1.81m tall), but this never really posed a serious problem after we got used to it. I did bump my head a few times on the low beams though. The cottage is very cosy and well-furnished. The kitchen and living room are well-equipped and the bed was fine. We did occasionally hear some noise from upstairs as others have pointed out, but this was comparable to the noise we sometimes hear from our upstairs neighbour in our own flat. Perhaps previous guests had the misfortune of having very noisy upstairs neighbours or the privilege of not living in a flat. All in all, we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and would recommend it to others.

Generally this was a good property to stay at, in a brilliant location for those who like walking.
Our suggestions for improvements would include, more crockery and kitchen utensils (no sieve?), and more than 6 of everything. Provide a cupboard for guests to bring their own food. Update the property listing to reflect that one of the downstairs bedrooms is now a double rather than a twin, and there is no DVD player as listed. We couldn't locate any instructions/manuals for appliances which is usual in Lakelovers properties. Review parking arrangements with the next door neighbour who often left insufficient room outside the garage. Wheelwrights staff sometimes parked in spaces too (but moved as soon as asked). Fridge door seems to have dropped on its hinges meaning it needs a good push to close properly. We were disappointed to lose access to the Langdale Hotel spa which had been part of our original booking, however we did appreciate the welcome pack of goodies on our arrival.
