Kestrel Cottage is highly praised for its cleanliness, tranquil location, and modern amenities. Guests appreciate the spacious bedroom, beautiful views, and the secure paddock for dogs. The hosts, Karen and Martyn, are commended for their supportiveness and helpfulness. However, the comfort of the seating in the lounge is noted as an area for improvement.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage receives consistent commendation for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting its spotless condition.
The location is celebrated for its tranquility and proximity to local attractions, with guests enjoying the peaceful surroundings and easy access to Cartmel and Lake Windermere.
While the bedroom and overall cottage comfort are praised, several guests mention that the lounge seating is uncomfortable, which affects the overall comfort score.
The cottage is well-equipped with modern facilities and a large garden space. However, the mention of a decorative fireplace and the need for a more comfortable sofa suggest room for improvement.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score cannot be accurately provided.

Susan
Gorgeous location. Karen & Martyn are very welcoming and accommodating hosts, living in the adjacent property. After booking, the info from Sykes stated no visitors or guests allowed. This was not stated on the website. The hosts assured us we could have our family visit for an Easter meal
