"Good base for visiting high fells from SeatollerHot water, good showerV disappointing that no firelighters, matches or kindling available on first night - arrived to cold house, chose property for open firego to the Langstrath for roaring fire and good alesnearby properties have wifiin need of tlc from new owners"
"Firstly, there is no garden! Absolutely nowhere the children could play. There is a small patio at the front which was overgrown most of the time we were there and is on the road, so not a useable space. The freezer was disgusting and I needed to defrost and disinfect before we could use it. The whole house needs a deep clean to get rid of the horrible smoky smell - we ended up frebreezing everything. The sofas just need replacing! Not enough batteries for the remotes, tiny TV and no spare light bulbs. Kitchen was well equipped although no salt or pepper etc! Mattresses were very old - the double was ok but the singles weren't very comfortable. Bathroom lock was broken as was the light pull - snapped completely in my son's hand. Not enough leg room on the toilet! Would be better with the fridge in the kitchen (or a fridge freezer) and a dishwasher! Plus wifi as you only get vodaphone signal here! Booked late so there wasn't much choice but thought it was expensive for what it was, especially considering what you could get instead in the local area. Property could be so much nicer with a little TLC and a small amount of money. Up for sale and feels as if the owners have given up with it a bit."
"The kitchen equipment was bizarre: although there were vast numbers of glasses and teaspoons, there were no tongs for the cooker, only a tiny fridge (despite the huge utility area) and no dishwasher. The twin bedroom has nowhere to store clothes. Inadequate lighting in the kitchen, particularly when washing up at night.Upper Borrowdale is a great location, with stunning views and fantastic walking.The cottage needs to have the cobwebs and dead flies thoroughly removed before letting. The prevalence of houseflies is clearly a problem in July and the house needs to address it in some way. The flykiller patches on the windows seemed to have lost their efficacy.There didn't seem to be a local shop, although the location is excellent for outdoor activities and pub restaurants.The cottage is good value, but still needs to address the other issues listed where possible."
"Fantastic location, blissful lack of Wi-fi and mobile signal!"
