"There was actually rather more there than I was led to believe - salt and pepper, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc. No tea towels, but they were supplied very quickly once I asked. Great location. All very happy.The kitchen was well equipped with he exception of selection/size of cooking pans and frying pans considering food preparation for large groups....bought a large frying pan so hopefully that will help out groups in the future. (small point in the scheme of things!!:) Only suggestion would be to provide a outside gas grill. Would be easier for guests and also cleaner safer. Fantastic week...thank you...markAll mod cons and fittings working well, in a wonderfully retro setting. William Morris Wallpaper, good fires and plenty of space. Very helpful hosts. The only drawback was the considerable distance from kitchen to the rest of the house - and perhaps the fact that it is actually rather dark inside and surrounded by trees. Nonetheless, it made a wonderful location for an excellent week and in a gorgeous part of the country.Family of 10 stayed here and had a really lovely experience. The whole house is of a very high standard with comfortable beds and good kitchen facilities. The children loved exploring the attached woodlands; lots of space inside and useful terraces to sit outside. No views of the excellent surrounding countryside from the grounds as the house is in woodland but plenty of walks from there for a week without having to move the car. We had a couple of minor issues with the property but were immediately sorted once the owner was informed. Good pub for evening meals 5 min walk away but beware of the road as there are no footpaths in places and the road has several sharp bends along the way.Don't let the slightly spooky photos put you off, this is a fantastic house and incredible value for money. The house itself is enormous and really gives you the country retreat feel but while still being warm and cosy. All of the rooms are a great size but I guess the only downside is the lack of en-suite bathrooms. That said there is no picture of the ludicrously large shower. I'd say you'd get a good 6 people in there all at the same time. You probably wouldn't all be getting good shower head time but it's a fantastic feature. The whole house is really well appointed especially the kitchen which made catering for 10 a cinch. It's ideally located for the small village of Patterdale which has a very functional shop and pub and there are plenty of local walks as well. I'd recommend walking around Ullswater to Howtown and then get the steamer back. We went in February and sadly the Howtown hotel wasn't open but fortunately the boat has a bar on it. I'll be coming again. Amazing value."
