Guests say
Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, stunning views, and the proximity to the western Lake District. The adjacent pub is praised for its food and hospitality. Some guests mention minor maintenance issues and road noise, but overall experiences are positive, with many willing to return.
The property generally receives positive remarks on cleanliness, though a few guests noted issues with dog hair and sub-standard cleaning. The majority, however, found the cottage clean upon arrival.
The location is celebrated for its stunning views and proximity to local attractions. However, some guests found the road noise to be a disturbance and the location misleadingly described on the website.
Most guests found the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, although there were comments about uncomfortable sofas and a lack of hot water for baths. The presence of a pub next door was a plus for many.
Facilities like the kitchen and heating are well-received, but several guests reported maintenance issues such as a non-functional shower and exposed wiring. The presence of Wi-Fi is noted, but its functionality received mixed reviews.
While some guests were delighted with the thoughtful touches like a welcome pack of treats and the provision of books and games, there is not enough consistent information about such gestures to accurately score this category.

The property is warm and bright upstairs. Itâs a short drive to the Ravenglass and many lovely beaches. The off road parking is a bonus. The kitchen is well equipped. The Brown Cow pub is two doors away, itâs friendly and serves good food. Overall we enjoyed our stay at 1 Park Nook Close. The road can be noisy when motor bikes and Lorries pass by, it didnât spoil our stay but could be an issue for light sleepers. The property can accommodate four people but the only proper shower is in the en-suite and the bedrooms are small and cramped so better for two, we left our bags, clothes etc in one bedroom and slept in the other. Knocking the bedrooms into one larger room would work better. I messaged the owner twice, once before our stay to ask whether I needed to take cleaning products and once when we arrived because the WiFi didnât work. I got no response. The land line for the owner is the same as the Brown Cow Pub, we used the pub a few times and ate there, everyone in the pub was friendly but felt really disappointing my texts had been ignored. For info, The photos on the website are out of date, there is a new sofa and flooring upstairs, the furniture in the bedrooms is different with more drawers and shower cubical in the en-suite has been replaced.
