Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the property to be very clean, with only a few isolated comments about the need for additional cleaning upon arrival. The positive remarks about cleanliness far outweigh the negatives, indicating a generally high standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and tranquillity, with easy access to local attractions and a fantastic pub just around the corner. The proximity to Kendal and the South Lakes is appreciated, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and exploration.
Guests consistently mention the comfort of the beds and the cosy atmosphere of the cottage. The spaciousness and the layout are well-suited for families and groups. Some guests suggested improvements like additional toilets and stair gates, but overall, the property is seen as comfortable.
The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and utility room, are generally well-regarded. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as a leaky tap, a non-functioning dishwasher, and heating problems. These issues slightly detract from an otherwise positive view of the property's amenities.
While guests have expressed gratitude for the welcome touches like wine, chocolates, and biscuits, there is not enough consistent information about such gestures being a standard offering to accurately score this category. Therefore, while these gifts are appreciated, they should not be expected with every stay.

It was big enough that we didn't feel overcrowded with 5 adults and 3 children. The Black Labrador pub 2 minutes away was fab and really friendly. Simon the owner had phoned before we had arrived to say the cleaner had informed him of a problem with the TV. We checked this for him when we got there and confirmed. He had replaced it by the Saturday morning. All in all a lovely stay.

The American fridge let us down badly, reading 5 degrees on arrival, then 19 degrees by Tuesday. It was reported to Lakelovers on Thursday of our visit week, after noticing foods were no longer fresh, losing about £25 worth. No compensation and no feedback regarding maintenance visit!? Not what was expected! Bedrooms are nicely kept although the shower tray in the main bathroom kept filling up with water when showering. Does the filter need a thorough clean? The kitchen has a good range of utensils and the Harry Potter game and walking books were appreciated.
