Some concerns about noise from neighbours and a lack of welcome pack are noted, but these do not detract significantly from the positive experiences.
Most guests found the property clean and comfortable. However, a few mentioned cobwebs and unclean kitchen utensils, suggesting room for improvement in thoroughness.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and convenience, with easy access to local attractions and stunning views, making it a standout feature of the property.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the cottage cosy, though some noise from upstairs can occasionally be disruptive to the otherwise peaceful setting.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable living space. Some minor issues with heating instructions and appliance maintenance were noted.
While some guests missed a welcome pack, the reviews do not consistently mention gifts or additional thoughtful touches, so it is not possible to accurately score this category.

My wife has limited mobility so the property ( once she is in the front door) is almost perfect with only one step once inside. We love everything about the property, position, proximity to the Britannia Inn, views from the windows, cleanliness and comfortable bed and furniture. My only criticism would be that the property was very cold on arrival and took several days to warm up, but this would not deter us from booking again.

There had been some refurb and the apartment looked lovely. It is clean, well equipped and very comfortable. It is so well placed in the village, with easy access to the fells and many walks. Good pubs and restaurants within walking distance and its own parking space. Needless to say we've booked it again
