   "This is a beautiful cottage in a lovely setting above Ullswater. The location is very quiet with easy access to the mountains and many of the Lakeland attractions.The cottage is an unusual layout, with the lounge and kitchen on ground level then two bedrooms and bathroom in the basement. Also on this level is a lovely conservatory area that looks out over the garden. On the first floor is what was the loft but has now been converted into a small bedroom. This one is ideal for the children due to low ceilings, particularly above the beds.The place is well appointed, though rather eclectic.There are information leaflets in the lounge along with a folder containing information about the house and surrounding area. Sadly this folder is rather messy with things crossed out and written in above etc. The folder also says that there is a guest house at the end of the lane that has a licence and acts as a bar. This is not the case. we went in there only to be told that the owner was unaware of this information and could not serve us unless we were guests. The next nearest pub is about a five minute drive away.The cottage was fairly clean but clearly hadn't been done properly. There was hair in the bath, suggesting that it hadn't been cleaned and there are cobwebs in the bedrooms and lounge. A sarcastic note from the "oven fairy" asks guests to put oil in the bottom of the oven, perhaps the fairy should consider that the guests are generally different each time rather than tenants. I would stay here again as it's fine for my requirements."

   "What a little gem, very close to either Bowness or Windermere. We chose this cottage for a corporate trip as it was very spacious & more importantly because we all had our own room & bathrooms. The cottage was very well equipped & surprisingly it contained all of the things that I would expect to have to supply myself on a self catering holiday, i.e. Hand soap, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, toilet paper, cloths & so on. Fantastic. All of the rooms were decorated very well & we noted many of the decorative accessories were in fact Laura Ashley. This gave it a luxurious feel. The only negative comments I can make were a couple of the showers were not functioning very well & the back door would not open with the key provided. It appeared that the mechanism inside the door handle was broken as it wouldn't pull across when the handle was pulled down. We found parking to be a slight irritation as the space outside the cottage is not reserved for the cottage. On both days we had to park the car up the hill which want ideal with a load of suitcases. But this did not spoil our trip whatsoever. Will definitely return to S97700 as it was so wonderful & homely."

   "We were charmed to stay at such a well thought out cottage, with two cosy but romantic bedrooms, very comfortable beds, warm duvets and fluffy pillows, a stylish bathroom with shower and a very spacious and well appointed upstairs living kitchen diner with spectacular views through floor to ceiling windows. The central heating was most efficient, we were as warm as toast. Our hosts came to greet us after we arrived and were charming and most anxious that we should have a good stay. We really enjoyed the afternoon tea and welcome gifts which we found ready for our arrival. I particularly appreciated the laundry room and the games room which would come into their own on any rainy days. The broadband connection was reliable and the television reception was more than adequate. Although the cottage lies just on the boundary of the national park, it was very easy for us to drive to the lakes, yet also ideal for Carlisle, Cockermouth and Silloth. S18338 really did live up to its advertised description as a luxury cottage. We really would recommend it for those who have a their own transport."

   "A very well equipped cottage with everything you need. It’s on three levels when you include the upstairs bedroom and is very roomy. The conservatory downstairs is great to relax in after a day out on the fells! The upstairs bedroom is in the apex of the roofline, so put the shortest people there so that you don’t have complaints of bruised foreheads! Local eateries include the Brackenrigg Inn which is only around a mile or two away (have their venison burger if available), the Pooley Bridge Inn and the Sun Inn (also at Pooley Bridge). If you’re desperate then the Crown at Pooley Bridge is ok, but a bit down-market for my tastes. S18648 is a great location to access Ullswater and the surrounding fells. Glenridding is a short drive away and is an ideal starting point for the walk to Helvellyn via Striding Edge (well recommended, but wait for fine weather). I would certainly stay at S18648 again. June 2011. "

   "We stopped in the bothy fora week over Christmas. Unfortunately the day before people broke up from work for Christmas the boiler broke down, leaving us with no hot water or heating. Thanks to the owners acting swiftly, they had an engineer there that evening. He had to return the next morning after exhausting efforts to get it working, with a new part . This didn't work either. I would like to thank him for his dedication in traveling to Carlisle for another part and missing his xmas works do . Success at last . Due to his kindness we really enjoyed the bothy and surrounding area. Lovely warm place and very peaceful. Managed to get three days walking in a beautiful location. Just two minor snags are parking is tight if u have two vehicles and not having wifi for kids in the evening and for planning purposes became a niggle . All the same we would visit again."
