  Firstly I would like to say we really enjoyed our stay the property was beautifully furnished with an impeccable taste and all bedding,towels etc were of excellent quality.

  The good quality hand wash and toiletries were an additional touch which was appreciated. We enjoyed the snacks and tea/coffee etc which were left to welcome us. However we had a few issues when compared to our other holiday breaks in the uk; Their wasn’t a detailed welcome pack containing information/instructions for operating the central heating or for the fire in the sitting room. The water pressure in the showers is not very good. The main bathroom has no window blind and that is an issue as the window is not frosted. The kitchen did not have a long handled brush, dustpan &brush for general cleaning. The plinth under the kitchen units keeps falling when you open the dishwasher which was something we had to be careful with to avoid it falling on our toes. For some reason there were two greasy roasting tins in the cupboard and one chipped drinking glass. A mat at the entrance would mean we had somewhere to wipe our feet and the floor can be kept clean especially when faced with rainy weather. Lastly the WiFi connection was not very good. Just some points which if rectified would definitely give the property 5 stars.

  We loved the fresh cake and prosecco with dog treats - this was a really lovely suprise.

  The property overall was fine although we hadn't realised that there was no windows in the main living area so we had to hang out in the bedroom if we wanted a view - and that was limited by the trees. The property heated up well - this was needed since it was jolly cold while we were there. However there were no logs for the log burning stove - we brought some up with us incase this was the case - but if you advertise a log burner and say fuel is included you should provide logs. We tried to get in touch before our holiday to find out if logs were provided and simply couldn't get in touch with Lakelovers - I tried on many occasions and eventually left a message for them to get back to us - still no reply. Very bad customer services - will try to avoid Lakelovers in future. If there was a real problem I have no confidence that we would have got any sort of response from them. We saw a few rats scurrying around outside the property and there was an alarming russling behind the sink so i think the owners need to address the rat situation.

  Wisteria is a stunning cottage, just as beautiful as the pictures.

  We had lovely gifts on arrival, even something for the dog which made us all feel very welcome. The furnishings and fittings are high quality and tasteful. The bed and bedding hotel standard. The cupboards well stocked with everything we could’ve needed. Phone charging either side of the bed was really appreciated as were the usb/charging ports downstairs. The upstairs is a big beautiful space with great views. And then there’s the big garden with the brook running through with places to sit, you have your own little piece of the lakes. The perfect place to relax. The downstairs clever and varied lighting options make up for there being just the door and the upstairs makes up for that for natural light. It was a little walk into town which could be a problem for some, it wasn’t for us. There are a few steps down to the house from the parking area which would be an issue for some for unloading the car but we managed ok. We are very likely to book again if we’re heading to grasmere. Highly recommend.

  I really enjoyed a relaxing and comfortable stay at La'al Ling (which I now know means Little Ling).

  The shepherds hut accommodation was very comfortable and clean, and beautifully decorated. It is situated within it's own private garden, where you can relax in the hot tub, and enjoy the views. The facilities available in the hut were just right, with plenty of hot water for the shower. Although you may want to get away from the trappings of modern life, having Wi-Fi available was essential to me, and it never let me down. The only thing that did let me down was my own ability to create a good fire for the hot tub. The owner, Dean, came to my rescue there, and got the temperature up to the perfect level. Dean and Jo were excellent hosts, with plenty of recommendations for places to eat, and of course Dean's fire building skills. I would definitely stay at La'al Ling again. Thanks Dean and Jo for a lovely stay.
