  Corner cottage was just lovely.

  We had the best nights sleep. The cottage was warm, and very clean. Beautifully decorated, and a great log burner; first night logs would be helpful especially when arriving late. It would be good to also say in travelling instructions, to put in the address of the Mortal Man Inn in the sat nav, as the postal address of Corner Cottage takes you to another Corner Cottage in Windermere. We know written instructions were given, but when we travelled three and a half hours and it was late, dark and raining, we missed the turning and ended up at the wrong Corner Cottage. Putting the Mortal Man address into the Sat Nav did the trick and arrived with no problem. Although the kitchen was very small, it had everything we needed; although found kettle very wide for the space. Linda and Paul contacted us with a welcoming message before we arrived, and after we arrived, and a lovely message after our time had finished at Corner Cottage; the complimentary flowers and wine were most welcoming and a lovely touch. Thank you Linda and Paul for Corner Cottage, and we look forward to our return visit. Keep the good work up. Recommended the Mortal Man Inn and the Queen's Head for food.

  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.

  Corner Cottage is a lovely holiday property.

  For a couple or single holidaymaker it is ideal. Location in the Troutbeck Valley is perfect for a tranquil break, especially if hiking is on the agenda. The property has all the amenties one requires. Although I visited the excellent Mortal Man (adjacent) and Queen's Head local pubs on a couple of ocassions, I cooked and prepared meals in the cottage kitchen regularly. Facilities perfect! One wants a good night's sleep on holiday and especially after a Wainwright Peak (or two!). And I can confirm that the bed is excellent. The shower likewise. One improvement could be investment in the seating in the lounge which I found uncomfortable (especialyl after 10 nights). Overall an excellent stay and one always know it will be such when the owner provides some welcome gifts (wine and biscuits). Thank you, Linda - I look forward to a return to "bag" a few more peaks..

  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.

  Corner cottage was comfortable and cosy and highly recommended for two people who want to stay somewhere quiet but convenient for what the Lakes has to offer.

  Although the kitchen is small it has everything you need for preparing and cooking meals and we enjoyed eating in some nights and lighting the log burner, we had to provide all our own logs and kindling though. We brought our bikes with us and managed to store them in the porch. The bed was comfy and the heating was easy to control and kept the cottage warm and welcoming for when we arrived back after a day out in the hills. We didn't eat at the Mortal Man even though it is right next to the cottage but we did eat twice at the Queen's Head which took about 10-15 minutes to walk to and was really nice.
