However, we were slightly disappointed having requested at time of booking online a high chair and travel cot for our 12month grandson to be told that the cottage we had booked could not offer this facility. Four adults and baby in car with luggage for week plus travel cot came from Dundee. (We had planned to ask if we could hire a high chair on arrival, as we had no room to take this too) It was a long and not the most comfortable of journeys there and back. However on arrival, when I asked to hire a high chair at reception. I was informed that the cottage had both a travel cot and high chair in situ. This was slightly infuriating o say the least and to be honest given the specification of Whitbarrow, I would have expected this accommodation at the outset and not to be told it wasn't available.

Shower is very poor in terms of water flow. People should be warned about the dreadful internet connection. We couldn't rely on it for any length of time TV facility also poor. It was very cold at night but no fleeces or throws provided in our house. Everything was booked up very quickly which was disappointing. Great place for sightseeing though and perfect position for exploring the Lake district.

The park was very quiet, the pool was lovely and we all had a good nights sleep too. The location is excellent for exploring the Lake District. There are a couple of maintenance issues that should be put right. The main issue was the seal around the bath which Iâm sure is not actually watertight so we were a bit dubious of using the shower. It also doesnât look particularly clean which I guess is as a result of the cleaners finding it hard to keep it clean due to the current state of the sealant etc. The shower in the en-suite had very little pressure and the front door handle needs greasing as it was quite stiff to lock. Overall we were happy with our stay for the money we paid and would return.
