  Lovely house and lovely area.

  We arrived on the Monday we had that sigh of relief you have when you arrive at a strange location you’ve booked online, when you drive through the local area. Town of Penrith was on the door step and the villlage the house is located is somewhere you can walk through at night without fear. Virtually crime free. The house is located next to the river which gave a nice relaxing sound when you sleep. No need for Alexa to play relaxing sounds! The house is beautiful. We brought everything we need from tea towels to Salt and pepper but there is no need as the owners had stocked the house with all the essentials, even a welcome basket. Kitchen is a huge cooking and social area with a kitchen island and massive fridge/freezer. To our delight, we forgot to bring ice however the fridge dispenser had an ice option ( took the heat off me!). Living room comfy with electric fire place and the bedrooms where well set up with plenty of places for guests. The garden is fully sealed in for the dog to run around with no worries. We had a brilliant week at Mill end house. Top tip, try the crown pub in the village. Michael the landlord is a great character and does a mixture of English and Thai food. My only negative ( and this negative is only small) the pillows were a little bulky and hard. We would book again and bring those with us.

  At first sight the property creates a good impression.

  It is well decorated and very clean although there was a strong smell of dog in the lounge which we found to be very unpleasant. Unfortunately the cottage is completely unsuitable for elderly visitors and I will explain why I have arrived at this conclusion. The sofa is unusable as it is too low and has no back support. My wife was unable to extricate herself from its grip without assistance from me. The only practical solution was to move the dining room chairs into the lounge but they are uncomfortable when used for extended periods. While on the subject of the lounge there is a very serious trip hazard in that the broadband hub and trailing wires are located in a narrow corridor between the sofa and the wall. Also the television is far too large for the size of the lounge to the point where it is impossible to view the whole image. With regard to equipment there is no non-slip mat for the bath/shower which made using the shower very dangerous with a high risk of slipping. Also there is no shaver/toothbrush charging point in the bathroom and we were unable to find an adapter plug so we had to buy one. In conclusion our stay was very uncomfortable and we would not stay here again

  Where to start with this property it was incredible.

  I almost don't want to tell people how good it is lol. The house was absolutely spotless, the cleanest place I've ever stayed. The house is decorated to a very high standard and not a scuff or mark on any of the walls. Soo many glasses (great choice) and mugs, plates etc. I spent alot of time in the kitchen it's absolutely stunning. This property had so many tvs as well, not that i personally watched anything. Sofas are so comfy and soo much room. Beds were very very comfy, if I had to say one negative thing the pillows are a bit firm and uncomfortable but that's minor. The garden is so beautiful and to hear the river was just heaven. Mill End really is such a special place that I've fallen in love with. All very secure for our dog as well. The owners Trev and Heidi are really lovely and helpful and friendly. Although they live across from the property you don't feel like they are on top of you like I've felt in pervious holiday homes. I can not wait to come back, I was really sad to leave, it's deffo stolen a piece of my heart. Thank you ever so much and we will see yous again xx

  This property was easy to find and easy to park which is always a bonus in the lakes.

  Its an old cottage which has been modernised to a good standard. We loved the fresh milk, nice tea brands, wine and cookies provided by the owner. Loads of bedding and towels provided. All useful as it rained a lot! Bathroom was nice and warm useful when you get in cold from a long walk. Penrith is close by so easy to buy in food supplies. Lovely walks and bike rides from the house. Pooley Bridge well worth a visit. Friendly local folk and nice local pub were all the benefits. The only things outstanding were small bits of maintenance like the light in the electric fire not working, the place was cold and smelt a bit damp the day we arrived (24 hours with the heating on sorted it out and its an old property so to be expected) . A couple of plug sockets in the big bedroom not working properly (funny clicking noise when i plugged in my computer cable which was fine in other sockets). When you open the fridge door it crashes into the wall clock. None of these a deterrent and I'd stay again happily.

  Mill End suited our needs perfectly.

  Very close to Penrith and its facilities but on a cul de sac in a village setting. Being so close to the M6 we had concerns about the possibility of traffic noise. Fear not, because we never heard any road noise but only the gentle babble from the river next to the property. As we were on a motoring holiday due to mobility issues we were within easy reach of most of the lakes but some of the routes were a bit challenging. However, as we had visited the area before we knew what to expect. but beware potholes! We would rate Mill End as one of the best properties that we have had as a holiday let. The owner lives next door which is handy in case of any issues that you might encounter. (We couldn't work out how to get the TV system to work to begin with.) Nothing has been overlooked to make our say comfortable and pleasant. A home from home.
