  We booked the flat literally at the last minute.

  But Katie quickly got the flat ready for us and let us know when it was ready. The instructions for accessing the property were clear. But the flat is tucked away. So, if you can’t find the property, it’s at the bottom of Mellbecks at Frank’s Bridge (ask a local). The flat was lovely and warm. The living area comprises of a large and very well-equipped kitchen area, separated from the large and very well-furnished lounge area by a large and very useful kitchen island. The lounge area had a two-person dining table which could seat four people, a large coffee table, a good-sized TV sitting on a sturdy TV unit, and a big, comfortable couch. The toilet/shower room was also a good size with a powerful rainfall shower. The bedroom was a good size too with a built-in wardrobe, bedside cabinets complete with bedside lamps, and dressing table. All of the furniture was of a surprisingly high quality for a rental property. The property was very clean and well-decorated throughout. There is an allocated parking space immediately below the flat, which for us was perfect, as we like to keep an eye on our car. We stayed there for three nights and slept soundly each night. The flat is located approximately a three-minute walk from Market Square and the main road through Kirkby Stephen. We went there because of a classic transport event. The main street was full of vehicles of all shapes and sizes. But because of where the flat is located, we couldn’t hear any noise whatsoever from the main road. Would we stay there again? Absolutely.

  We stayed in the Granary apartment which is ground level.

  The apartment is kitted out to a high spec, 3 smart TVs, comfy beds, dishwasher and a lovely rainfall shower. The property owner is just next door and was really friendly, she gave us food to feed the animals in the small holding. On arrival to the property we were overwhelmed by a strong damp smell which increased in both bedrooms. We tried to air the property out by opening all windows (windows are small and very high up). Opening windows did not help the smell and on closer inspection we noticed areas where paint has peeled off the walls in bedroom and has been painted over again - wallpaper is also starting to peel and there is black mould in the corners - therefore, I believe this property has a damp issue which needs sorting. The damp did cause us to have allergies (itchy skin etc) so we had to take anti histamines during our stay. The advertisement doesn't make it clear that there is no view from the property as the small windows are so high up - this felt a little claustrophobic when we spent time in the let. There is also alot of noise from the upstairs apartment - this didn't particularly bother us, however, if you are looking for a very relaxing retreat this would not be the holiday let for you.

  Really disappointed with our stay at the Granary.

  Where to even start, when we arrived we were met with the strongest smell of damp and mould. To a point the smell saturated our clothes upon arrival home. The damp was much more present in the room our child was staying in which is not great. There are also no windows within reach of the living space to get rid of some of this smell. The noise from upstairs was unbelievable, I think they may rent the upper level out to permanent occupiers but essentially there is no insulation between the two floors. Meaning you hear every footstep, every movement etc. On New Years ever the noise was so bad I counted at least ten times the tenants walked from the bedroom to the kitchen. We also had to wake up at 6am both mornings as this was when they would wake and the noise was unbearable. The owners clearly know this is a problem due to the other reviews but don’t seem to be doing anything to address this. I think Skye cottages should also take some accountability for hosting this property knowing the issues. We didn’t have the break we were anticipating over New Year’s Eve due to the issues above. Avoid booking at all costs.

  We had a lovely stay at 'Fortress'. The cottage is part of a handsome Barn conversion with a view over the garden. It was easy to find, and is in an excellent location, close to Carlisle but in peaceful countryside near to Hadrian's Wall. Fortress was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It is well furnished and a great deal of care has clearly gone in to making it a cosy and relaxing place to stay. We appreciated all the little extras, (including a bottle of wine!), and the friendly welcome from Anne and Jonathan. Everything is well thought out. There are designated parking and outdoor spaces for each of the holiday cottages. There is a laundry room with washers and dryers which is great for muddy walkers: providing detergent and conditioner was a thoughtful extra. Anne and Jonathan (and family) went above and beyond to provide a relaxing and problem-free holiday, We would highly recommend Bleatarn Park to any holiday maker, and we hope to return soon.

  This property is in a beautiful peaceful location, it is well equipped and nicely furnished with everything you need.

  Ulverston is not far away by car. It is all clean with nice fluffy towels and clean bedding, the only thing i would say is more attention needs paying to cobwebs, around the double bed base and around skirtings in bathroom/bedrooms. The worst thing about this property is that the noise is so loud from the property above it spoils it, you can hear everything! its like a herd of elephants walking back and forth, i thought we were lucky to start with as the family above went to bed at a similar time and woke at a a similar time to us until the last night! not sure what went on as we thought they had gone home early but then at 3am in the night someone came back walking back and forth opening drawers/wardrobes banging around, (assume packing things) we barely had any sleep. I feel sorry for the owners as it is such a lovely property but we couldn't stay at this property again due it being so noisy from property above.
