We had a lovely week at Rowan Cottage.
The bedrooms were immaculate and beautifully decorated. The bathrooms were very clean, shower over the bath not fantastic but not bad either. When we first went upstairs and opened the door to the main bedroom with ensuite it was like walking into a very nice hotel room. Downstairs was very comfortable and clean, but not all new which with 2 dogs I really do prefer as you aren't constantly worrying all the time. The sofas were lovely to sit on and plenty of room for 4 of us and the 2 dogs. The small porch from the garden gave a good area for drying the dogs feet and a door between the kitchen and living room was great, also a door from the living room to upstairs. So easy to stop dogs going were you didn't want them too. I keep going on about the ease with the dogs, but for us it makes a big difference to how much you can relax when in someone else's property. The garden was lovely, again great for the dogs, secure although a very small dog may get under the gate. Our smallest is a jack russell and he couldn't get out and he really tried when he saw a rabbit run under the fence! Footpaths opposite the cottage so plenty of walking. The Cuckoo Brow Inn in Far Sawey was very welcoming, we ate there a couple of times, if you like big portions you won't be disappointed. Dogs welcome and just a few minutes walk. It wasn't really the weather for sitting in the garden but I am sure it is beautiful in the summer. Well kitted out in the kitchen so everything you need if wanting to cook properly, even down to a set of kitchen scales. We had seen someone elses review saying no milk so had taken some with us, which there wasn't so that was helpful. At first slightly disappointed to find no welcome items at all, it is a nice touch when you get in after a long drive (and a breakdown) to find milk and biscuits, just that little something when you arrive. There was a cleaning kit, with sponge, couple of bin bags and dishwashing tables which was nice, but no washing up liquid (we had taken dishwasher tablets, but not the washing up liquid!). So I would definitely say you need to take everything you need with you, tea/coffee etc, shops are a good drive away. Also no logs at all for the wood burner, but the cottage was so warm we didn't need to light it anyway. The heating is excellent in the cottage, we kept turning the radiators off as getting too warm. After we had been there a couple of days, we decided that the owners have gone to so much trouble to make sure that the practical and comfort side of the cottage is top rate, that we would much rather have that, than a welcome gift on the table but other areas lacking which is often the case. We would definitely stay here again.

This is a substantial property with an extensive garden area that you can even tire a spaniel out in!
Its a 10 min walk into Hawkshead from the property where there is a good selection of pubs and shops. We were hit by Storm Arwen shortly after arriving so had to decamp for two nights as all the power went off, but the owners kindly refunded the two nights which was very good of them as the storm had nothing to do with them. We enjoyed staying here, with all the room, large kitchen for cooking in and dining room and cosy lounge. Two main issues, there is only BBC iplayer on the TV, no other channels at all, so they could do with sorting that out as you have to rely on the BBC and the DVDs in the property, not great on early dark nights. Also the property is chilly; the heating is set to 18 degrees which is too cold in winter. I did reset the Hive heating control for the week but the owner reset it back remotely so we had to rely on the boost control. Finally a watch out, the owners arrive promptly at 10am on checkout day, never had that at any other property stay where some latitude is given

Second time we have stayed in this property.
Great for our large family group, large kitchen, living & dining area, great for being together & apart. Cosy, comfortable & clean. Would definitely come again. But a few areas we would like to be addressed. Informed there were hair dryers, but 1 for the whole property, if we'd known that family would have brought their own. As a large group in the winter we like to cook & eat in. Although there is plenty of crockery glasses cups etc, there is a bit of a mish mash of utensils, no large serving spoons, bread knife, large sieve or kitchen scissors. We found that the left oven did not heat properly. Would be useful to supply hand towel for the kitchen & the downstairs toilet. Not enough separate bags bedding & towels. The hoover had not been emptied, it was extremely full, no spare bag, and smelt, do the cleaners bring their own? The main bin was full & on the side of the road on arrival Friday! As a large group we produced 3large bags we had to leave at the side of the road.

As described this was a nice large house in nice grounds close to Hawkeshead with its facilities and nice walks around.
The house has a large well equipped kitchen for us to cook each day for 10 adults so that dinner each evening was an occasion. The lounge separate from the dining room was a nice place to relax and read in in the evening for those who didnât want to play games or during the day when the rain was severe as it often is in Cumbria. There was nothing that failed to meet our expectations but for a large property it would be good to have one large cooking pan big enough to cook for 10 and a couple of large cafetieres. However this was not a problem for us as we have never rented a property with big enough pans or cafetieres so we brought our own. Wi-Fi was very variable but I understand this is a lake district problem rather with the equipment in the house. We had a lovely stay in this excellent house and will want to come again.

After a very disrupted and long journey from the South on Saturday, it was such a relief to arrive at Knipefold Barn , thanks to the excellent directions we found it at the first attempt. Wow ! What an amazing place ! Everything we could wish for; spotlessly clean, beautifully and intelligently designed and thoughtfully equipped - a real home from home ! Having let out our own holiday home in SW France for several years, we fully appreciate the hard work involved in preparing and maintaining a high-end property for clients, who vary between taking care of and having respect for your property to sadly, the other end of the scale ! We are of the former variety ! We have only been here one night so far but already looking forward to coming back at some point !
