What our customers say about their holidays

• Mr Little - Verified booking

  Very pleased with location,cleanliness and comfort of the cottage. Unfortunately we were let down by heating not being switched on prior to our arrival as detailed in the welcome book (arriving with the temperature at 8 degrees Cent.). While kitchen and bedroom heaters could be switched to provide instant heat, the storage heater in the lounge being on "off peak" (on at 12 midnight) did not produce any heat until the following day. This was completely unacceptable as the living room was too cold to be used. Arriving after 3.00pm we should not have been expected to go searching for logs for the stove, and in any case for the price paid for the property the least we could have expected was a starter kit for the stove. We note from the visitors book that a welcome pack has been provided, which we did not get. This spoiled our first day and initial impressions of the property.

  The location of the cottage was misleading. It is said to be down a private road but that is actually the driveway off a main road - the A591 - which is very busy. If the description has been better it would have saved 30 minutes of searching and the need to ring your office for real time instructions. Also, being 5 yards from busy traffic would have put me off the cottage location. There was also the inconvenience of not being able to walk anywhere safely from the cottage. It was a cold week. There were some logs for the stove (needed and effective) but once they ran out we had no idea of where to buy any more. We did not want to spend our holiday on a log hunt!

  The cottage is really clean and cosy with everything we needed for our stay.

  One of the great things about the cottage is a truly amazing garden which my children loved playing in. In the end we had a disappointing holiday due to a car mishap which meant we couldn’t travel into the Lake District as we originally planned. Public transport would normally have been an option but we were reluctant because of Covid. The owners were really helpful and friendly, they found a walk we could do in the immediate area, offered to drive us into Keswick one day and found some outdoor toys to entertain the children in the garden. I would really recommend the cottage and if it wasn’t for the car mishap, I’m sure our holiday would have been great.

  Cottage was lovely.

  In a lovely quiet village with a lovely pub. Cottage was clean and homely. Beds very comfortable and the shower was fantastic. Only thing I would say is the bath was high to get in and out if for anyone with a mobility problem. Welcome pack with tea coffee and biscuits was a nice touch and it was great to find milk in the fridge incase you'd forgotten some. Parking space outside for 1 car and free car park just down the road. Roads going to the cottage very narrow in places so care needs to be taken. Would highly recommend.

  This is an excellent cottage in lovely gardens, beautifully equipped and furnished, with practical non-carpeted floors downstairs - ideal for dogs.

  The owners live next door, on hand should there be any problems. Ask Amanda if she has eggs available from her hens. Location-wise it is ideal for exploring the northern Lake District, with Carlisle, Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith in easy travelling distance, also the Roman sites further east. We had concerns with the practicality of the wash basins (more stylish than useable) and passed this on to the owners - may not be a problem for other users. We would stay there again.
