We as a group have rented this property for many years, and it suits our family arrangements. Good to find that the old fridge-freezer has been replaced at long last, and a new more efficient microwave cooker. The ensuite main bedroom needs new curtains, they were hanging off the rail and the linings are very patchy. We always booked the 'Bonfire Night' week because we enjoyed the fireworks provided in the field opposite Wainwright's pub - provided by the Langdale Estate, however this event has been cancelled sadly and will no longer be a function. We knew that Covid had curtailed many events, but did not expect this one to finish. We like the fact that there are many walks available directly from the property and no need to use the car, unless going further afield. Great pubs in the area, serving good food and a local shop and cafe to cater for the family. It was good to have a new fridge-freezer (after many years of requests) and a new more efficient microwave oven, a new gas boiler too. The thing that lets this property down is the lack of decent curtains in the ensuite bedroom - the present ones hanging off the rail, thin patchy linings and the curtains have been there as long as we have rented the property. There's a lack of small sharp knives in the kitchen - there are plenty of knives but they do not cut well.

Generally good, with some issues that could be improved, such as the fridge/freezer being too small to cope with a large delivery on arrival day, and some of the beds being a bit on the firm side for elderly hips. The access drive requires a good level of driving skill, especially when having to reverse down it due to the limited space available for turning round. The outside lights, and the strip light in the garage, weren’t working, so the table tennis didn’t get used. We nevertheless had a pleasant and comfortable week despite typical Lakeland weather.

Overall the property was amazing. On arrival we were amazed by the property it was beautiful, the kitchen was very well equipped, the beds were very comfortable, rooms clean. We spent many hours sat in the conservatory just relaxing watching the 'locals' flying and scurrying around (birds and squirrels' not the neighbours! We'd sit out in the garden reading and listening to the river in the background (couldn't see it from the garden). I don't think I've ever been so relaxed on holiday. The property is situation in a beautiful location and is in very close proximity to a shop with lovely cafe and pub (some of the family went to the quiz night). Whilst we did have a few issues that we had to raise but maintenance were swift and the complaint I raised was resolved well. However, this wouldn't stop me from booking again
