Guests say
Daisy Cottage is a well-received holiday rental with modern amenities, offering a hot tub and stunning views. Guests appreciate the peaceful location, the equipped kitchen, and the unique touches like the double bath. While some guests encountered maintenance issues and discomfort with the sofa, the majority enjoyed a relaxing and romantic stay, with many expressing a desire to return.
Most guests found Daisy Cottage to be clean and well-maintained, though there were a few mentions of cleanliness issues such as a wet dog smell and a dirty floor upon arrival. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a common trend.
The location is praised for its tranquillity and proximity to the Lake District, with beautiful views and a remote feel that is still accessible for exploring the area. Some guests noted the road can be noisy with windows open and the property is a bit remote.
The comfort of Daisy Cottage is generally well-regarded, especially the bed and the hot tub. However, several guests found the sofa uncomfortable and the bedroom too hot, which affects the overall comfort score.
Facilities are appreciated, including the fully equipped kitchen and the hot tub. However, there were several reports of maintenance issues such as problems with the hot tub heating, loose steps, and a leaky bath, which impacted guest satisfaction.
While guests have mentioned a welcome basket in past stays, there are not enough recent references to gifts or additional thoughtful touches to accurately score this category. It should be noted that while such gestures are appreciated, they are not guaranteed.
About this property
This is a superb end-terrace cottage with spectacular views across to the coast from the first floor. The ground floor offers open plan living accommodation with patio doors opening onto a private patio with hot tub. The bedroom has a feature freestanding bath in the gable window, together with an en-suite wet room. A wonderful place to escape and relax for your break in Cumbria. Note: This cottage can be booked with Refs. 916664, 926823 and 916663, together they sleep 12.
Situated on the coast, across from Morecambe Bay is the small village of Aldingham. Local folklore says that the village was once a mile long and that many of the cottages were washed away. Aldingham also has a reputation as a smuggler's village, the perpetrators hiding brandy from France and tobacco from America within the church crypt. The village itself is close to Furness Abbey as well as the ancient market town of Ulverston, just five miles away. Ulverston boasts a street market every Thursday and Saturday, in addition to many festivals throughout the year. These include an amazing lantern procession in November and an atmospheric Dickensian weekend in early December. The town is also the birthplace of Stan Laurel, famous for his work with Oliver Hardy, and as such is home to the only museum dedicated to this double act in the world. With all the attractions of the Lake District National Park and the sandy beaches of the Furness Coast, this quiet and peaceful area has plenty to offer!

It appeared it had not been done for sometime. Wi-Fi was poor and the Tv temperamental. We were also concerned by the camera outside the property, though I understand these can be for security it was pointed directly at the hot tub. The last issue was the bath tub. No out of order notice was given yet when used it leaked from the bath overflow all over the floor, on reading the guests book in the property itâs clear these are inot a new issues.
