Guests say
Guests consistently praise the cottage in Hawkshead for its superb location, stunning views, and proximity to local attractions. The accommodation is described as well-equipped, clean, and comfortable, with special mentions of the enjoyable pool table, dart board, and individual TVs. The picturesque village and friendly community add to the charm of the stay. Some minor issues were noted, but overall, guests look forward to returning.
The property is repeatedly described as spotlessly clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The location is highly praised for its great views, convenience to Hawkshead town centre, and ease of access to local attractions and walks, making it an ideal base for exploring the Lake District.
Guests find the beds extremely comfortable and the house well-equipped, contributing to a relaxing and enjoyable stay. However, one mention of bedding being too hot for the weather slightly impacts the score.
Facilities like the pool table, dart board, and TVs are appreciated, but a blocked toilet and locked heating control during a cold week suggest some maintenance issues, leading to a slightly lower score.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

My family and l had a lovely holiday in an attractive well equipped spacious home with panoramic views from the lounge area of the open plan kitchen, dining and comfortable corner sofa . An immaculate modern house in a beautiful location close to both Windermere and Coniston Lakes. We were extremely lucky with the weather. But with a TV in each bedroom, and in the lounge area, a games room and books and cards and a few board games provided we would have kept entertained .

Well located. Quiet location with lovely views. Ample parking. Clean. Comfortable. Guests have no control over the heating (the control box is locked) which was switched off during our stay during an unseasonably cold week. Garden is not suitable for anyone with children. Overpriced compared to similar properties in the area.
