  Review: Excellent property, Well described, and a wonderful location. Cosy period cottage, with everything you'd need. Garden well enclosed for dogs, once the gate is closed. Bedrooms roomy. Excellent bathroom and modern kitchen. Plenty of local guide-books/ maps to hand. (One containing some history of the cottage "Life in Langdale". Despite being a period cottage, was easy to keep warm. Will return. Note to Original Cottages: Would be good if we could have had a later checkout, especially as no-one was coming that day, and the cleaners didn't arrive at 10am. Also too many signs pinned to all the cupboards / bookshelves saying "don't use as this won't be cleaned". Not sure what that meant, but pointless, and over the top. A book is a book, and part of the property experience (ie the local guidebooks/ history of the valley etc. The signs should be removed, and they are unsightly in a period cottage. Also Original Cottages had put up a sign saying to check-out at 9am above the cooker, despite the property guide at the property saying 11am, and the booking saying 10am. Finally, there are two key lockers in the wood-shed, which was confusing, as I couldn't open the first one, and found the second one (containing the key) by chance in the dark. It's on the left wall next to the light switch. Details should be updated, As should the fact that you should enter the property via the kitchen and not the "front-door". Thanks

  What a delightful cottagel Very homely atmosphere with beautiful local pictures amidst more personal ones dotted around. Tasteful carpets at the same time as being sensible for a holiday cottage! Clearly people have loved coming on holiday here for years and the owners have had many returning guests - unsurprisingly. Very spacious house. Sheets and bedding exceedingly comfortable. Warm! Great to have a nice shower and bath with hot water never running out! The location could not have been better with a most beautiful (and secure) garden with "rooms", a variety of plants and trees and birds. Great to have a secure place for our dog who loved it. Small little stream in garden so you can hear the gentle burbling of the brook. Set just in front of Loughrigg Fell with with the bonus of a 5 minute walk to the Tarn where you can swim in the clear clean water; only a 10 minute drive to Ambleside - a peaceful iddylic setting which made for a memorable holiday. A special thing too to gaze at the stars so clearly at night without any light pollution to blot their view. We'd definitely come again but realise we'd have to book very early so as not to be disappointed. Thank you!

  Overall we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and may stay there again in the future.

  That said, when we arrived we were unpleasantly surprised by the amount of cobwebs along the ceiling throughout the house and especially in the bathroom. We also found a lot of kitchen utensils in the drawers that were not properly cleaned. Additionally, the ceiling is rather low for two very average Dutch people (approx. 1.81m tall), but this never really posed a serious problem after we got used to it. I did bump my head a few times on the low beams though. The cottage is very cosy and well-furnished. The kitchen and living room are well-equipped and the bed was fine. We did occasionally hear some noise from upstairs as others have pointed out, but this was comparable to the noise we sometimes hear from our upstairs neighbour in our own flat. Perhaps previous guests had the misfortune of having very noisy upstairs neighbours or the privilege of not living in a flat. All in all, we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and would recommend it to others.

  Place is lovely.

  We also liked the area and the pub nearby. Chesters by the river also had great food and pastries. It’s a nice place to walk around. Very quiet, but ambleside is quite close if you want to go to a town. Only issue that I saw was the property didn’t provide any welcome pack or tea/milk, etc. Bring everything you need because there are no shops near walking distance. I think a small welcome pack would be a good touch by the owners. We always received it other properties and this one was lacking that. Other than that, we had a great stay here. Warning: it does get loud from upstairs and people kept moving furnitures around at night.

  The cottage is beautiful.

  Well equipped and in the perfect location. But I could not recommend it and would not stay again... The noise from the house above was dreadful! They were by no means noisy neighbours, simply a family going about their business. But we could hear everything!! The opening of drawers, tap being turned on, the lid being taken off the kettle. Whilst lying in bed, we could hear their conversation, word for word. It was such a shame as the cottage itself is one of the nicest we have stayed in. But this, sadly, put a real dampner on our holiday.
