Guests appreciate the cleanliness, the well-equipped kitchen, and the extra amenities like a pool table and hot tub. While some minor maintenance issues and suggestions for improvements are noted, the overall experience is highly recommended by visitors for family and group stays.

Guests consistently note the property as spotlessly clean and well-presented, with attention to detail. The high standard of cleanliness contributes positively to the overall experience.

There is insufficient information in the reviews to accurately assess the location. No specific comments about the property's location in relation to local amenities or attractions are provided.

The property is frequently described as comfortable, with special mentions of the comfortable beds and spacious rooms suitable for large groups. However, some guests experienced issues with heating and towel sizes, slightly affecting the comfort score.

Facilities like the pool table, cinema room, and hot tub are highlights, but some guests reported maintenance issues such as a non-functioning oven, leaky shower, and insufficient towels and kitchenware. These issues suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

The provision of detailed information prior to arrival and the presence of useful utilities like a washer and dryer indicate thoughtfulness. However, no specific mentions of gifts are made, and while the property is generally well-equipped, some guests suggested additional items for convenience.

Cleator Moor is a small town in the English county of Cumbria, just a few miles inland from Whitehaven and the shore. The town has a few bars, a few stores, and a few other small enterprises, as well as a Mart Square with three sculptures by Conrad Atkinson, a local artist who has gained international renown. The C2C Cycle Route, which runs from Whitehaven to Sunderland, passes through this area, as does a section of the West Cumbria Cycle Network. Bicyclists can enjoy a leisurely ride along the path of the once-bustling Whitehaven, Cleator and Egremont and Rowrah and Kelton Fell Railways, all of which operated in the 1850s. Whitehaven, a port town on the western coast of Cumbria, offers a broader range of services and is worth visiting for its golf course, Beacon Museum, and Jefferson's Shop, among other things. Spend some time at one of the local beaches like Providence Bay Beach, Tanyard Bay Beach, or Fleswick Bay during the summer months, or explore the Lake District National Park for hiking and other outdoor activities. Cleator Moor is a great base from which to discover the surrounding area.

    We had an wonderful time making use of the pool table, hot tub and fire pit. The sitting room (with the pool table in) was brilliant for playing games and chatting, as the sofas are all arranged in a square with a table in the middle. The other sitting room was great for older family members to retreat to when they wanted to watch a bit of tv. The location is good, with plenty to do nearby, although the house is so fantastic we didn't feel the need to go out much. My bed was one of the comfiest I've ever stayed in away from home and several other family members also made the same comments. The room I was staying in had blackout blinds and thick blackout curtains, which made for a lovely dark bedroom at night. I assume the other rooms were the same, but didn't check. The kitchen and dining area is a wonderful, social space and it was great that everyone could fit around the dining table. Things like hand soap, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, washing powder, shampoo etc were provided, which was good. The house was very clean. A few suggestions to make it even better would be better lighting in the pool table room. Three out of the five bulbs above the pool table weren't working and the type of lighting, even if the bulbs were working, wasn't really adequate for the room. We had to move the lamp to the back of the room in order to see the pool table and when sitting chatting at night it felt dark. A bluetooth speaker in the pool table room would also be good, but just a suggestion. The photo of the gym is also out of date, as there is no longer a treadmill in there and the multigym didn't work. However, the communication with the owner is excellent (via WhatsApp) and I'm sure if we'd mentioned that the multigym wasn't working they'd have sorted it. We all had an fantastic holiday and would definitely recommend this house as a wonderful place to stay.

    We appointed with all of the equipment needed and in good working order. The hot tub and garden are lovely and there is lots to do within easy reach.

    Dining room had enough seats and a big table for all of us to sit for meals and the Utility had, Washer Dryer, Dishwasher, Iron and Ironing Board so very useful. Kitchen was well stocked with Dishes, Pans and Cutlery. Although there were plenty of Oven Tray's and Utensils I felt that these needed updating. Bedroom again were big and plenty of storage, the beds were very comfortable although for some were a bit low. While staying we did have a slight problem (that was not the agents fault) this was dealt quickly and efficiently by Sarah and Simon, thank you. I feel there are a couple of issues. We had a dog and small children staying, there was no gate at the bottom of the stairs leaving it open, because of this we had to improvise to keep dog from going up and the toddler from climbing the stairs. It would have been very useful if there had been a gate there, you could put a child gate when guests have dogs or small children for safety. The garden definitely needs improving as it lets the property down, needs new Fire Pit, table and chairs (rusty), new wooden seat (near Fire Pit) weeds taller than myself need clearing. Only my opinion but it could be improved with some ornaments attached to the fence and maybe light on the fence too. Although there were some negatives all in all it was a nice house with a great Hot Tub, Thank you.
