  Arriving in dreadful weather, the cottage wasn't warm on arrival after a 7 hour journey that was disappointing.

  however we realised the control on the wall for the underfloor heating wasn't on the next day so we turned it on( or up)and it was fine after. Neither of us liked the stairs we found them narrow and with the thick carpet I was slipping in my slippers everytime I went down them maybe just bare wood would give better grip , the bedroom made me feel giddy I felt like I was falling but we knew what it looked like on booking so our fault I didn't realise I would feel like that I imagine alot of people are fine with it . Not been able to stand straight due to the ceiling shape was awkward for us again it's how the cottage is , you cannot change that . Our next door neighbours arrived after us and had a swearing shouting row in the early hours and he was swearing shouting saturday afternoon slamming door/s , we didn't know what to do as everyone can have arguments it's hardly the cottage owners fault we decide to stay Sunday and go home early Monday ( instead of friday) however Sunday morning the next door neighbours left so we stayed. There are kitchen cupboards but each one had items in so as we had brought our food with us it was awkward storing things away l put the loaf of bread in the saucepan cupboard. Each day I had used a saucepan and colander from that cupboard (unaware rodents was likely to be walking over these items. )on Thursday morning I opened it to get the bread out and the bread and plastic wrapper was ripped around bread and the seeds of the bread scattered in the cupboard obviously rodents / mice , I phoned the cottage owner and he sent a maintenence man in while we was out for the day ( as we had pre- paid tickets for muncaster castle) they acted on it swiftly and the owner apologised ( on the phone and in a text- telling me they had put mouse traps behind the kick boards and cleaned up the mess of bread etc but didn't see anything) unfortunately I am absolutely terrified of rodents so that was extremely stressful for me I cannot help how I feel about them- I am aware these things happen sometimes - we lived for years in a very remote cottage and now live in the countryside next to the sea so I realise rodents get into places but it just totally ruined the holiday for me especially I spent all night and evening listening for mice and we went home - as planned as end of holiday on Friday but left at 4.20am as I couldn't relax anymore . I guess we was unfortunate but we had looked forward to the holiday so much - as anyone does but it wasn't how we would have liked it to be Also the living space could do with better lighting at night it was really dull I realise we sound like moaners , we chose the cottage knowing how it's layout was etc but all the other incidents just ruined it . We wouldn't go back.

  We had the best time staying at Colt Park over the Christmas period.

  We packed a bag of things we might need for the Christmas dinner but didn’t need to bring a thing! The owners have thought of everything. The cottage was beautiful, clean and the owners had even decorated it for Christmas which was lovely. The hot tub was probably the best we have ever used, with great jets and perfect for relaxing after a day walking and exploring. Parking is great, large area off road to the side of property and secure. The garden was secure for the dog and we found a lovely walk from the cottage to the beachfront. I would say the location is perfect for quiet relaxing time away, Ulverston and the lakes are within reach by car however there is limited things to do in walking distance due to there being no pavements. This didn’t affect us as we just hopped in the car to places but if you prefer to walk to places I wouldn’t say this is the place for you. The owners had wonderful communication texting us before our arrival and during our arrival to make sure we was comfortable or if there was anything we needed. They left a lovely welcome hamper and some balls and blankets for the dog which was so kind. This is truly a wonderful cottage and place to stay. We will definitely be returning. Thanks so much x

  Blackthorn Copse is without a doubt the nicest of any accomodation we have stayed in, the lodge is beautiful and sparkling clean.

  The park is very quiet with no noise or light pollution, if you're lucky enough to have a clear night the stars are amazing. Plenty to do in the surrounding area, take a ride on the steam train or a trip up the lake on the steam boat, hire paddle boards or kyaks and of course plenty of walks. The lodge was beautiful with lots of space, the bedrooms are large and both have en-suite showers. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. The small touches like coffee pods, tea bags, sugar, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, milk, dishwasher tablets and bin bags are all things that you might not think are important but they are and it was a lovely surprise to fine a bottle of wine cooling in the fridge! The little things like that are the things that make the difference. Unfortunately the pub was closed while we were there but there are plenty of other places to go. The only small thing I would suggest is putting a gate on the outside space. It's fine for adults but if you have small children or dogs they could easily get out and with the river being literally meters away it could be dangerous, apart from that our stay was very enjoyable and I would definitely not hesitate to book this again.

  On arrival we where more than happy, the place is beautiful with lovely natural surroundings.

  The owner txt me and said if we needed anything to let them know. I told her the place was amazing and we where very pleased. We went with my parents and 2 dogs. Unfortunately my mum came in from walking the dog on our second day and lost her footing on the front steps as it was dark outside and the steps are dark grey stone with no end step definition so are basically camouflaged. My mum broke her foot which obviously spoilt the holiday. Also like other reviews stated there is an outside space, but no gate so you let young kids or dogs outside. We had to block the gap up with the outside chairs and noticed others doing the same, so then you obvs had no chairs to sit outside and you cant relax with the french doors left open when its hot. The most upsetting part was I txt the owner to advise them of the step and that my mum broker her foot and she never even once asked me how she was, when to be fair we could of sued her as there was no suitable lighting and obv dangerous. We had 2 hospital visits and the extra cost and time of sourcing and paying for a mobility scooter so we could still get out. Lucky for them, my mum is to nice to take it any further.

  We have just spent the weekend in Colt cottage family of 2 adults and 3 children plus our 5month old puppy.

  We absolutely loved it. The cottage is situated along a coastal road with great views of the sea. We walked in to a warm and inviting home, with a lovely welcome package. Everything has been thought of, the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, the bathroom is lovely and modern, and the bedrooms were bright and airy. It is a great location to access the lakes it was just a 50min drive to Windermere, the local town of Ulverston is really nice with a great play area for the kids and we took a very windy walk upto the monument. Our puppy loved the enclosed garden and he enjoyed doing laps around the outside of the house, care has been taken to not forget our four legged friend to as there were a few toys for him aswell as a lead, bowls and treats. The communication from Helen was fantastic, and we will definitely be looking at trying the cottage in the summer so we can enjoy the garden and the surrounding area.
