What our customers say about their holidays

  We had such a lovely 4 day stay here, upon booking via the Original Cottages website I asked on the special requests if they could do anything to make it special as it was my partners birthday, there was a birthday card with a bottle of prosecco and little bottle of local gin with glasses ready for us on arrival which was so lovely of them! The property was spotless and had all the utensils we needed to cook our meals as being self-catering during this pandemic was important. The outside seating area is lovely to enjoy the last bit of sunshine in the evening and the bed was really comfy too which is always needed after a long day out walking. We could not have picked a better property to stay in and the location was great too, we travelled to lots of different areas from where we was staying and it was initially easy to find upon arrival on the directions provided. Also the car was parked right outside the door so it was easy for us to carry our belongings in and knowing we had a allocated parking space. Highly recommend this to anyone who is considering staying in the Lake District. Amazing weekend!

  We had agreat week here, it was cosy and comfortable, and the location is fantastic. 10 minutes to Bowness on Windermere, 10 minutes to Kendal, 5 minutes to Staveley and the Hawkshead brewery. Be aware there are steep steps down to the living area/Bedroom, and that the toilet and bathroom are on the first floor, not a major issue when we booked but presented a few challenges as the wife was on crutches after a broken leg, we managed though. The welcome pack was very basic (2 bottles of beer & 2 cakes) so we would recomend taking some milk, bread, butter and cereal if you are arriving late. There is an excellent cafe and bakery a couple of minutes down the road, the breakfast there is a must! Also a good bakery next to Hawkshead Brewery in Staveley, and the Sun in just down the road does great food, and Pedro's Cassa in Kendal is amazing! Overall we had a great week here, and will definitely come back.

  We had a great long weekend stay here.

  The owner was very helpful and friendly. The cottage is in a very quiet spot but still close enough to everything you need. We would agree with other reviews that the chairs in the lounge area are very uncomfortable and the cottage was very small - some of the photos were taken from a very generous angle. This means that we probably wouldn't book a longer stay in this particular cottage but we would definitely try one of the others on the same site. It was very dog friendly with an enclosed yard and a dog exercise area nearby. We also definitely recommend the Anglers Arms in Haverthwaite which was also very dog friendly and served excellent food. If like us you just need a small place to stay for a weekend this is perfect.

  I had a partial refund for this booking due to the shower not working in the property.

  Looking at the feedback other people had left in the cottage, the shower issue and the fact the bath plug was faulty had been mentioned before and not been actioned so it was annoying to say the least. In addition the garden was unkempt , the grass hadn’t been cut and as a result we didn’t sit out in the garden which was a shame. As part of a welcome pack they include dishwater tablets but there is no dishwasher ?! This has also been mentioned previously. The front door lock/ key is really stiff to open and therefore could be a risk if there was a fire. This has also I believe been mentioned before. The cottage is lovely but it is these things that let it down.

  Property was really unusual and in a great location.

  Reported a few concerns during our stay which were dealt with promptly. Great to have an enclosed garden and private parking. House was well stocked with towels, bedding, mugs etc so we didn’t have to think about anything. Felt that the overall cleanliness and ongoing maintenance let it down slightly. Lots of cobwebs, dust, missing lightbulbs, dodgy light switches. We visited in April but the Christmas decorations were still up. The drain on the bath was blocked but we didn’t report it as we’d already reported a few things and felt like we were harassing the owners. Overall a great stay but ghe property could do with some TLC.
