Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests find the cottage clean and well-maintained, though there are isolated comments about a musty smell and the presence of spiders. The positive remarks suggest a high standard of cleanliness overall.
The location is highly praised for its quietness, beautiful views, and accessibility to walks and local sights. It's a highlight for many guests, contributing to the property's appeal.
The majority of guests find the cottage comfortable, mentioning a good night's sleep and a cosy bedroom. However, some note the compactness of the en-suite and the need for a more supportive sofa.
Facilities are generally seen as adequate, with a well-equipped kitchen and good Wi-Fi. Some guests suggest improvements to the TV and sofa, and there are mentions of a small oven and a fridge with an awkward door.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, it's not possible to provide a score in this category.

Cottage was nice & comfortable but could just do with a bit of maintenance & upgrading. One of the cupoard doors in the kitchen was missing & the small counter top cooker not really suitable even for one. It may be relatively modern but the last time I used one like that it was a "Baby Belling" over thirty years ago & if anything that was more efficient (or maybe I've got used to better over that time). There didn't seem to be any way of controling the hot plates. The batroom was vey small & had no heating but the water in the shower was nice & hot. Overall it was adequate especially as I was on my own, & I would definately consider staying there again. It was nice to see the variety of free range chickens & cockerels & the goats. Just bear in mind that the goats will just walk into the cottage if you leave the door open & cockerels don't just crow in the mornings. They also crow throughout the night. But then it is the countryside & only to be expected.

The electric heater well supported the central heating . It was cold outside but access via car to the start of good lake district walks and coastal walks was ideal for us hikers. I appreciated the busyness of Mike the farmer and enjoyed talking about farming with him as l used to be a farm worker many years ago. The cockerals can be noisy at times but after all it is a farm. We had a relaxing energetic holiday from a comfortable cottage in the height of winter.
