Snaptrip says

Old Peat Cottage in Kirkby-in-Furness is a quaint and cosy property, appreciated for its beautiful decor, well-equipped nature, and peaceful countryside location. While it offers a warm and comfortable stay for couples and their pets, some guests have noted issues with dampness and the suitability of the stairs for those with mobility concerns.

Guests that stayed at this property said

There is insufficient information provided in the reviews to accurately assess the cleanliness of the property.

The cottage is praised for its good location, being close to tourist attractions while nestled in the peaceful countryside, making it an ideal base for relaxation and exploration.

Guests find the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable, but there are concerns about the temperature and dampness, which affects the overall comfort level for some visitors.

The property is well-equipped and the decor is admired, but there are negative remarks about the size of the shower room, lack of heating there, and the safety of the stairs.

There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness, so this category cannot be scored.

    It was as thoroughly enjoyable as our last visit. It is a very cosy cottage and even though it is a old stone building, it was always nice and warm. Again, the cottage was well equipped with everything you would need and the decor was beautiful. The bed is extremely comfy with good firm pillows. It was a delight to bring my dog Bill back again and so pleased that our 6 month old puppy, Poppy got to experience such a wonderful accommodation and the Lake District for her first holiday! We hope to return again.

  • Gemma

    Lovely little cottage, the perfect base for a couple that wanted to relax and get away from it all and also explore the lakes

  • Catherine

    Beautifully decorated and well equipped. Just the perfect size for 2 people and two Border Collies. Good location, close to lots of the tourist attractions but at the same time hid away in the peaceful countryside. Sadly only a short time after we came home one of our border collies, Nell passed away but my husband and I were just delighted that her last holiday was spent in your beautiful cottage and in the Lake District. We hope to return again very soon.
