Longlands Groom's Quarters is a charming cottage nestled in Cumbria, appreciated for its warm and cosy atmosphere, scenic and tranquil setting, and beautiful grounds. Guests enjoy the proximity to local attractions and the suitability for dog walking. While some find the cottage and its furnishings to have a quaint character, others suggest it could benefit from updates and more thorough cleaning.
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with several guests finding the cottage cosy and clean, while others report issues such as unpleasant odours, dirty utensils, and a general need for more thorough cleaning. The presence of both positive and negative feedback suggests a moderate level of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its stunning scenery, proximity to Cartmel and the Lake District, and the peaceful atmosphere. The walled garden and local walks are particular highlights. However, some guests note the need for caution when exiting the property due to limited visibility.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with a warm and welcoming environment. The super king size bed is often mentioned positively. However, some guests mention that the furniture, particularly the sofa, could be more comfortable, and the presence of moths detracted from the overall comfort for some.
The facilities receive mixed reviews. Guests appreciate the well-maintained grounds, shared laundry, and the cottage's warmth. However, there are several mentions of the need for maintenance and updates, such as replacing rusty items, improving the water tap, and providing better quality towels.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, therefore it is not possible to assess this category. As such, the score is set to null.

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.

The most lovely of setting. In a quite area but close to so many places that are a must to see in the wonderful Lakes. I have looked back over many other reviews and it is very obvious that no one takes any notice what guest are telling you. Some of the issues i had other guest had back in 2016. The cottage is great for a base but you do need to address the fact it needs an update. The settee is very uncomfortable so much so i sat on the floor. You need to put the tiny TV back into the dolls house and get a decent size one. It was clean enough but i can see why other guest have complained. You really do need to put a mirror at the end of your drive it is not safe pulling out onto the road. The walled garden was a real treat, thank god i could use it as the whole week was completely ruined due to the fact the whole of the complex was hired out to a film company filming a Bollywood Film. I did not need an alarm clock as i was woken up at 6am every morning and again gone 11pm, I know the owner spoke to them but with around 30 people staying there there was no way it was going to be a good break. The smell from the chefs cooking was not good, filling the cottage all day, every day. There were black bags of food open in the yard and being enjoyed each day by the wildlife. I did get a part refund but still came home very stressed. You have one hell of a gem if you could only made the most of it. It was a bonus that the sun was out all week so i could go out as much as possible. Sykes sorry being told my only option was take the refund and go home was not really what i wanted to hear. This holiday was booked for a year. The film crew booked a few weeks.

Lovely quaint cottages set in fabulous grounds which are very well maintained. The cottage was warm constantly which was very welcome given it was March. Martin was very easy to get hold of if any assistance needed which there was none. Iâm looking forward to my next booked stay for New Year
