    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Michael - Verified booking

      Lillibet cottage is a lovely 4 storey cottage ideally placed for the shops and everything Keswick has to offer and is tastefully decorated, reflecting the area and the surrounding hills.

      The stairs leading upstairs are very steep. The attic room has beautiful views of Skiddaw and the surrounding hills. However on the first night we had heavy rain. Not sure if it was an unfamiliar bed or the rain hitting the skylight and roof which caused a restless night. No problems on the following nights. The kitchen on the ground floor which is accessed via more stairs contained all we needed and like the rooms above clean and tidy. Sadly there were two things which let the property down. We requested a highchair and cot to be provided. The highchair supplied was in a filthy condition and covered in mould, certainly not fit for an 11 month old baby. Whenever we leave a rental property we endeavour to leave it in the same condition as we arrived. We cleaned where we could, however the vacuum cleaner supplied was in an even worse state than the highchair. No attempt had been made to clean it or empty the full dust bin. The rotating brush head even had something wrapped around it, so no attempt made to use it. The details of the property specified parking for two medium sized cars. We had a Tiguan and a Kadjar, only one would fit in the space provided. The parking area is at the rear of the property, its sloped and cobbled and needed some of the foliage cutting back in places. We had to find an alternate parking space on the surrounding roads, most of which were limited time disk controlled parking.

      We were disappointed to find that one bedroom in the property was spider infested with a slat on the bed broken.

      The floor was filthy under the beds and also under the bed in the ground floor adjoining room. Cobwebs were around the rooms and adjoining on-suit. Regarding comfort, it was hugely disappointing that the heating was set to come on at 7 am. This was the time we got up each day to engage in walking and other outdoor activities around the lakes. We therefore had to endure getting washed , dressed and fed in a very cold house every morning as the temperatures were cool. Realistically, the heating should come on earlier at this time of year (6am) I would suggest. I appreciate peoples preference for this may differ, but by day 4 of our stay I found it to be rather tiresome. Added to this fact we came home on our second day to NO HOT WATER. As we had had a full days walking we were extremely disappointed to say the least. We contacted Sykes but were unable to contact the owner not least because there is extremely poor phone signal. Owner called following day and organised plumber to get hot water back on. So this was not fixed till that evening for us to use, which meant no hot water and no heating that morning. Given the displeasure this caused throughout the week, I think it would be appropriate to receive some compensation commensurate to our discomfort. I look forward to your view on this ❓ So no hot water the following day

      The cottage is great, in particular the seating upstairs would suit any group configuration and having reliable wifi enabled us to contact each other and family not with us, with ease.

      We were delighted the property included towels! We'd like to feedback a couple of points which didn't work so well for us or could be made clearer in the cottage info. It didn't feel as though the cottage is in Rosthwaite altho the online info describes it as such. In fact we liked the fact there were good bus links, but this wasn't promoted.. There wasn't a proper folder with clear info in the cottage. The notice board was very bitty and confusing. Before arrival: We should have been told the cottage landline as it made our food delivery tricky as we didn't realise there was no mobile signal. It could be helpful to mention the back/side door is where the coat hooks and boot shelf are, as we didn't discover this straight away coming in the front door. The garden would benefit from a table and the chairs could be set out in the area of the garden which gets the sun. Although it was no bother to pick keys up before going to the cottage it was more complicated dropping them off at the end and we had not had to do that in a lot of years of cottage holidays! ( Most properties have a key safe system) We can't be the only family group with more than 2 cars? (The info could include the Borrowdale Hotel and their ability to help out with extra visiting cars).

    • Alan - Verified booking

      This was our third visit to Laal Field House.

      We hope to get back again next year unless it is (as usual) fully booked. We love the house, its size, garden, location ... everything. A couple of comments / negatives from this year. The house does need a tidy up in a couple of places - Small patch of wallpaper hanging off the ceiling in the living room, mould spots on the ceiling of the main bathroom. The refuse bin. We were five adults, one toddler and one baby. The bin was almost entirely full when we arrived on Friday. It was emptied on Tuesday but we had almost entirely filled it with refuse and nappies by the time we left on the following Friday. Could really do with a larger refuse bin. Only one front door key this year - to be used by the two families at the house ! - Contacted Sykes, somewhat unhelpful and possibly patronising (in my opinion) response. And no high chair this year (we were provided with a high chair on previous visits) The house really does have every facility ... except a high chair.
