The property is ideal for families and dog owners, with thoughtful touches throughout. While some mention minor issues such as limited lounge and dining seating, and the absence of a tumble dryer, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Multiple reviews highlight the house as very clean, with fresh towels and spotless rooms. Only one review mentions the property feeling 'tired', but this is outweighed by consistent praise for cleanliness.
The location is frequently described as stunning, tranquil, and offering excellent views of Ullswater. Proximity to Pooley Bridge, local pubs, and walking routes is appreciated, though a few guests note the road outside can be busy for pedestrians.
Guests find the cottage very comfortable, with quality bedding, spacious rooms, and a cosy atmosphere. Some mention the need for more lounge seating for larger groups, but overall comfort is highly rated.
The property is well-equipped, with a stocked kitchen, games, and amenities for families and dogs. Some guests note the lack of a tumble dryer and limited seating for larger groups, but these are minor compared to the overall positive feedback.
Many guests mention welcome hampers, toiletries, and thoughtful touches such as vanity bags and games. However, as not all guests received a hamper, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.

Lovely house with very good sized bedrooms and comfortable beds. Great garden with plenty of parking spacesSleeps seven but only seats six at table and five in the lounge area. Needs some larger pans to cater for bigger groups

We had a lovely stay in a very comfortable home. There was plenty of cleaning materials/kitchen/toilet roll etc which sounds a bit banal but I often find you are scrabbling round for basics which wasn't the case at all with this house. There was also a lovely hamper of local produce on arrival. The only feedback I would give would be that after long days of walking and with a party of 6 we really needed another comfy chair to sit on in the lounge.
