While some guests have raised concerns about certain aspects, the charm and location of the cottage contribute to a pleasant holiday experience.

Cleanliness has received mixed feedback. While some guests found the cottage clean and tidy, others noted issues with cleanliness, such as unpleasant odours and the presence of cobwebs. The inconsistency in cleanliness has led to a slightly above average score.

The location is highly praised for its stunning scenery, peaceful atmosphere, and proximity to local villages and the Lake District. The walled garden and nearby walks are particular highlights. However, some guests noted the road to the village can be unsafe for pedestrians, slightly impacting the score.

The facilities are appreciated for their charm and functionality, with a well-equipped kitchen and shared laundry being useful. However, some guests have suggested that the facilities could benefit from updates and better maintenance, such as replacing rusty items and ensuring all amenities are in good working order.

    The bedroom is a generous size and the bed is big and comfortable. The interior is pretty basic - low level oven, very small screen TV, no USB port / socket and basic bathroom facilities (though the shower is lovely!). Extremely grateful to the housekeeper as the only person who worked out that the clock has to be set on the oven in order for the oven to operate. A pity we learned that only after having not been able to use it on our first evening. Even though Cartmel is only a half mile or so away, the road is not a safe thoroughfare for walkers. No-one's fault, just a fact! All in all, would certainly recommend.

    Stunning scenery and the walled garden was amazing, we loved working out all the different flowers there. Lots of seating around the garden to enjoy the views and peaceful atmosphere. The accommodation was good, the super king size bed very comfy, loved the little balcony. Overall the cottage had everything we needed and we had a lovely holiday. A couple of minor things (this didn't change our enjoyment of the cottage but feel need a mention). Some more comfy chairs would have been nice if there longer than a week as not very comfortable for a cosy evening in front of the fire/tv. As previously mentioned by others a mirror at the end of the drive would be good to help getting out safely but it is a fairly quiet road and you just needed to be cautious pulling out.
