    What our customers say about their holidays

    • L - Verified booking

      Just arrived back after a very enjoyable break at Fair Cop and I have to say how impressed we were with the facilities and the comfort of the accommodation.

      It was very well equipped clean and modern with lovely decor and we felt very cosy. The cottage was beautifully decorated and furnished and we loved the convenience of it right next to all amenities. Nice and quiet too and parking was convenient. Our only issue for us personally as we had our little dog with us was nowhere enclosed for us to let her out to do her business! so we had to take her on a lead first thing in the morning but that was only a slight inconvenience as a doggy friendly property. Other wise we were very impressed with the accommodation and extremely grateful that the owners had been so kind to accept our last minute change to the booking after the dreadful storms in February prevented us getting there on the last minute. The weather during our stay this week has been beautiful and only added to a very pleasant and enjoyable stay, We would most definitely chose this accommodation again and have recommended it to our nephew who was looking for a dog friendly place to stay in Hawkshaw. We were very careful to use covers on sofas and the bed etc whilst there with our little dog and we found the accommodation very comfortable. My only comment would be perhaps some softer pillows as they were a little firm and rubbery and in the bathroom a longer shower screen on the bath as it was not very protective from water spraying beyond the screen but these are just constructive comments as we really loved the accommodation and we would highly recommend it.

      We have stayed here before and liked it so much we thought we’d come again.

      On return we were slightly disappointed by the ‘doggy’ smell. There was an attempt to mask this with a powerful plug in air freshener which became too much to bear after a short while. Also, whilst not listed, we were surprised by the lack of any way of making coffee. We read the reviews before we booked and a regular comment is made about ‘fuel’ being included in the description but not in apartment. The ‘fuel bin’ outside was empty bar two part burnt logs. It would be an easy win to put a £8 bag pf logs in there for each visit. There are a couple of places where the wall paper needs re gluing back to the wall and the plastic flowers in the bathroom are thick with dust. Finally, as a suggestion, a bit more cutlery and crockery would mean the dishwasher could be used less.

    • Tim - Verified booking

      This is the third time that we have stayed at this property, and have always been very happy in the past.

      However, this time we were treated by a 'funky' smell when we arrived. We put this down to perhaps the property being uninhabited for a few days (our lease was from Monday to Saturday). However, as the week went on the smell seemed to get worse and smelt of a septic tank. This seemed to emanate from the bathroom, and pass through the whole house. On the Friday we messaged the contact on the information sheet and felt it would need to be addressed before the next occupancy. We had no reply. Otherwise, this is a lovely, comfortable property (hence our return) with good facilities and a beautiful location. No doubt we will return again at some point, but maybe not in warm weather if that was the cause of the smell which put a bit of a dampener on our break.

    • Stefan - Verified booking

      Really enjoyed our stay, the fire was a great bonus especially all the wood being included.

      The heating was supposed to come on at 3pm, but when we arrived at 4 it wasn’t on and the apartment was cold, perhaps the times haven’t been changed with the time change? It would have been nice to have instructions for the coffee machine, ended up spending ages trying to Google how to work it, so only used it once. Lots of equipment in the kitchen, but far too much crockery which left little room for food, a useful small freezer in the hall once I found it! A cosy sitting room, we didn’t find the TV too small but we only have a small one at home. Lots of DVDs and games, although the weather was very wet at times we didn’t use any of them. Very comfortable bed and really warm, didn’t need to heated blanket. Would definitely come again.

    • Laura - Verified booking

      We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

      The accommodation is quirky and beautiful. Everything that we needed was in Fair Cop, even some blankets for our dog and a torch for if it was dark late at night. The local village is great and had everything within walking distance. The welcome pack contained local walks from hawkshead and we managed to complete 4 out of 5 and all were easy to follow and great views! Only downside is the parking as it is very tight for an SUV and we had a couple of nervous moments getting in/out. Also the mattress is very soft and back aches a little after sleeping in it but I guess this is personal preference. Even with these points, we considered it a hidden gem and we have booked for next year already! Thanks for a great stay
