      Gorgeous place, gorgeous views, amazing beds/shower/kitchen/bath, etc etc… the place is exactly as described - so the following is by no means a moan however just a few things that I think are helpful to point out.

      Firstly, it would be a helpful addition to have a slim coffee table at either end of the L-configured sofas just to pop a mug on when sitting at the far ends (where the sofas meet there’s a cabinet to put things on). If there are more than two people, those stuck on the ends have to put their drinks on the floor. There’s not a lot of room but a magazine rack with a slim table top would do the trick. Secondly, we set off the heat alarm whilst using the oven to cook, easily remedied second time round cooking by having the front door open but when it first happened it took a good ten minutes or more to get the alarms to stop (calls to the number in the email for assistance just told me the office was closed). Might be worth mentioning in the guest booklet that this alarm is sensitive and to be mindful of letting fresh air in while cooking as there is no extractor. Lastly, the parking. Yes I expect hills in Cumbria but the cottage is near the top of the steepest slope we came across the whole holiday (a single track road which has a sheer drop the other side) so just bear that in mind if you’re a nervous driver. I had butterflies every time I got in the car to go anywhere but they got less and less, so if I can do it anyone can :)

      Honeypot cottage Was spotless when we arrived, and the condition of the property was fantastic better than we had hoped.

      We have stayed in many cottages and this was by far the cleanest upon arrival. The location set on the hillside giving fabulous sunset views from the garden, was an added bonus. The Wheatsheaf pub at the bottom of the hill is open for outdoor dining and drinks Wednesday to Sunday currently and the food was a limited choice but very nice all the same. There was a couple of minor issues with the cottage. The bed was a little hard for our liking and took some getting used too. And the Log burner, we had brought some wood with us as we were unsure if there was going to be any at the property, but after reading the welcome pack it said only use dry wood from the wood store out back. Unfortunately the wood store was bare, but not a problem as we had brought some. But I wasn’t expecting no means to light the fire, not a match or lighter anywhere on the property. In properties with burners, I’d always expect a welcome pack of wood and a couple of fire lighters and some matches at least to get you started. But I would happily return to the Honeypot cottage if I was staying in the South Lakes area again.

    • Mark - Verified booking

      We found the cottage to be well provisioned with everything we needed.

      It was spotlessly clean and really comfortable throughout our stay. The cottage was in a very quiet and peaceful location on the edge of Brigsteer village. What we learned about Brigsteer was that it had no facilities or amenities other than the Wheatsheaf pub. None of the roads had street names or any road signs. I think you could include a map of the village on your web site to aid finding the place. We liked the garden and the wonderful views it provided over the Lyth Valley, what made us uncomfortable using the garden was not being able to see the door / entrance into the cottage. The steep steps up to the garden were a bit of a drawback for my wife who found it tough going to get up and down the steps. I had a constant worry that someone could enter and rob us whilst we were relaxing in the garden. I mastered the car parking space but for me whilst I could park my car off road. It was a disappointment that my wife could not open the near side door to get out of the car. The cottage description on your web site did not mention that there would be restrictions on using the car parking space.

      First the good bits… the cottage is in a great location with fantastic views, a lovely garden, great walks and a nice pub nearby.

      As for the not-so-good bits: the chimney needs sweeping urgently – the room filled with smoke every time we opened the wood burner door to add fuel (we've has a wood burner for 20 years, so we know what we're doing with one. The twin bedroom needs a really good dusting – our sons coughed and wheezed their way through our stay. One of the four dining chairs fell apart as soon as we picked it up to move it, and the chest in the sitting room stank of vomit when opened (I assume someone put a dirty toy back in there and just left it). On top of that, the bathroom tap handles unscrewed and fell into the basin with alarming regularity and there were only two glass tumblers (one cracked) for a family of four. It also needs to be made clearer that there is no wifi – we only found out from previous visitors' comments prior to our stay. I don't want to sound like a moaner – this would be an amazing place to stay if the maintenance/cleaning regime was better.
