It felt like home as soon as you walked in, with a lovely welcome pack. the kitchen was well equipped and lovely to cook in, with the family feel for games night. The fire was great as it kept us snug after cold wet January days out, and we all slept well in the amazingly comfortable beds. The cottage is situated in a great location for exploring the lakes with a lovely cozy pub literary 5 minutes away serving perfect pub grub. We will definitely be back.

It was a beautiful cottage - very comfortable and clean and in a lovely area. We initially had an issue with the WiFi but the owner was really responsive in helping us to resolve it.

Nice cottage lounge, which i never used as out all day, and evenings we went to bed after cooking evening meals as we were shattered after long walking days. Cottage always felt warm and cosy. We did have a couple of niggles but this would not stop us from staying again, as issues which can be easily put right. These included a hoover that did not work, my husband had to clear the blocked tube, clean filter, empty full canister of dirt and unravel hair and dirt wrapped around brushes, however it still did not pickup and we resorted to a sweeping brush. Some cooking utensils and pan in oven we had to wash before use as thick with grease and food residue, downstairs loo under seat was stained and not clean, unit tops under chopping boards full of crumbs, so I completely wiped unit tops down. Corners in rooms had small webs so i did sweep a few corners. Just general cleanling routine of cleaners needs addressing, nothing detrimental to the accommodation and we would return. The front door lock needs some attention as very difficult to unlock from inside, i think the door has just swollen in wet weather. There is a washer-dryer that takes a small load 4kg, but takes an age to dry, there is however an airer which we used and placed in front porch and washing dried while we were out. Did not like the table top ironing board, would have preferred a stand alone type. There was a dishwasher which we never used. There are several high steps or a steep slope to access the cottage but if you have no struggle walking, again this would not be a problem, but worth considering if you struggle. No problem for young families. Parking is in a layby on a quiet back road, front road is busy and fast, this was not a problem for us, we supervised 2 dogs when let out for a wee but garden not suitable for young children. I would definitely recommend as a nice place to stay, just sort the cleaners please, who appear only to be doing a âwhat they seeâ clean. I would have given 5 star if cleaning had been better.
