What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a great stay at the old laundry, one of 3 cottages in this small complex that we visit regularly.

  However, upon arrival the cottage was not as clean as I would expect in this day and age. Clearly the previous guests had a dog ( and would have been charged extra, usually £30 for what the holiday letting company call extra cleaning !!! ) the sofa, cushions and rug were full of dog hair, the glass on the front door full of dirty muddy marks. We also found a pair of walking socks behind the radiator covered in dog hairs/cobwebs. If you looked up every corner of the cottage had a spider residing in it. The place just did not feel clean. The 1st bedroom had 1 toilet roll and the second had just 8 sheets left on an old roll it also had no hand-wash, no kitchen towel and once the kitchen bin was full we had to go and buy more bin liners because there were none in the cottage. If this was a cheap holiday cottage then I may expect to have to ruff it a bit but this was almost £1,500 originally and we booked it when it was reduced, but we still paid £1,000 for the week. Am I expecting too much? Would I stay there again, probably but only if the other 2 cottages were booked up. Somewhat disappointed.

  Wythebank was very comfortable, clean, and in a beautiful location.

  The internet even though warned it had a weak signal worked pretty well in the rooms with good proximity to the hub! It’s truly a lovely cottage making a great base overall. Loved the piano too… 2 things though: it would be good to have a Welcome Pack provided with basic items on arrival as the nearest shop is quite a drive - we were fine as we brought lots of provisions! And the other thing is the road (Hodge Close) which runs for about 2 miles up to Wythebank, it’s pretty scary, especially if a car is coming in the opposite direction not near a passing place! That said, Wythebank is well-worth negotiating this road too, because once you get there the charming cottage makes for a lovely break! Good for our dogs too with an enclosed garden and spoilt for choice with plentiful walks through the most breathtaking scenery in all directions on your doorstep - 4.5 Stars and 5-Stars if a Welcome Pack was provided! Thank you to the owners as we hope to be back soon…

  Before leaving for Wythebank we contacted you twice to arrange for a mid stay re supply of towels and bed linen but no cleaning of the property!

  On the Thursday of the first week we contacted you to confirm the re supply of towels/linen we were offered Friday or Saturday my wife confirmed Friday We waited in all day as you could not confirm AM/ PM delivery no delivery was made consequently we lost a whole day of our holiday waiting in And the result of this was we had to wash our own bedding and towels! We had expected a better service/experience as it was not a cheap holiday we had chosen You need to improve your administration the lack of service quality was highlighted because after we contacted you three times our requests were not fulfilled The property was fantastic the location was perfect however the lack of oversight by you cast a cloud over what we had hoped would be a holiday to be remembered

  We live in Cornwall and have been visiting the Lake District for many years (now in our mid 60's we calculate around 25 trips) and Wythebank is by far the best appointed cottage that we have stayed in.

  All our needs were catered for, right down to a doorstep supply of seasoned wood for the log burners. The property if warm and cosy, the three bedrooms are large with very comfortable bedding, the kitchen diner is very well appointed and equipped and the tiled flooring ideal for wet wellies and dogs. The garden is fenced and gated (secure enough to contain our two very inquisitive Labradors) which is a real benefit for those late night/early morning toilet trips......... David and Carol have really gone the extra mile to make this cottage into a perfect base for their guests - fabulous....... Garth

  The showers.

  .. The shower room adjoining the bedroom behind the kitchen, clearly the extractor fan had not worked for some time and I complained about the smell and later found 5 full moisture traps hidden under the bed and on top of the wardrobe. More hidden moisture traps and air fresheners in the second bedroom, the adjoining shower had extremely slow drainage and water pooled very fast. We had to stop the water to let it drain during use. The kitchen counter only seats 3 as the 4 stool doesn't actually fit under anything. Kitchen cupboards used as decorative display spaces so I couldn't just unpack shopping.
