Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers unanimously commend the property for its exceptional cleanliness, often describing it as spotless. The meticulous attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The property's idyllic setting in the Lake District is frequently highlighted, with guests appreciating the tranquil surroundings, proximity to local amenities, and ease of access to nearby lakes and walking routes.
Comfort is a standout feature, with numerous guests mentioning the 'most comfortable massive bed' and the cosy, well-furnished interiors. The property's comfort level is consistently rated highly.
Facilities such as the hot tub, dog shower, and fully equipped kitchen are well-received. However, a few minor suggestions for improvement, such as additional shelter for the hot tub and more seating, slightly affect the score.
The host's thoughtfulness is evident in the personalised touches and welcome gifts, which greatly enhance the guest experience. While these gifts are highly appreciated, it is noted that such gestures, though common, are not guaranteed.

Detailed to perfection. Gloriously modern yet still cosy. Bathroom is beautiful. Location, hot tub, kitchen, bathroom, bed, everything just wonderful Great price too and I would highly recommend going with a group of friends / family and hiring both the cottages out so itâs all private. Only thing I just suggest, please put an extra gate between the two cottages. For privacy and to stop dog fights. Thank you for an amazing time

Ruth the host is brilliant with her local knowledge and keeps the property and surrounding area immaculate. This area of The Lakes is wonderfully unspoilt and quiet, perfect to get away from it all and see the red squirrels morning and night. The cottage itself is clean, well equipped and very dog friendly - the dog field/s are amazing. Lovely super king bed. Views are stunning. We never go back to a property, but this cottage was so good, we're coming back next year.

A warm welcome from Ruth and treats for both ourselves and our dog were a nice touch and very much appreciated. The property is well situated for exploring The Lakes and is easy to find, helped by good directions from Ruth. The peace and tranquillity of the surroundings together with glorious weather were exactly what we needed and we would definitely stay again.
