Michael
We were three couples and two singles and stayed over New Year. The facilities are excellent and its very clean and comfortable. All bedrooms decorated to a high standard. Kitchen on the small side for catering for 8 but had everything we needed and more. All accommodation on 1st and 2nd floor.1 car parking space in the village car park. We would definitely return.

The only small piece of feedback would be to have more washing up tablets as we only had 2 for the dishwasher...but was no real issue as we just washed up the old school way instead using the sink :)

The cottage is beautifully decorated, airy and light and we loved the little touches like the nightlights and the games cupboard. Having parking included and being across the road from the bus stop made it easy to travel around the area. The location is great for everything in the village and thereâs always a bit of a buzz in the street outside. The bedrooms are all doubles and with 3 bathrooms and 4 toilets in total so there are no queues in the morning. The property was well equipped â dishwasher, washer/drier, iron/ironing table, boot drier in the separate boot room, smart TV and smart speaker. Jamie and Cheryl, the owners have clearly given a lot of thought to their guestsâ needs and experience and created a very welcoming environment. We had a couple of minor issues but these were dealt with promptly, efficiently and courteously â in fact the communication and customer service from Jamie was always above and beyond. I would thoroughly recommend Shepherds Crook to anyone thinking of a holiday in The Lakes as a family or group of friends
