  Overall we enjoyed our stay at Glen Cottage: its location in the middle of nowhere was great, the views brilliant, the accommodation clean and the facilities good.

  We enjoyed the four days we stayed in the Lake District very much and were rained on a lot (as you would expect) but also had periods of great weather too. There were a few things that could be better though: - the toilet was loose and it was a bit unnerving sitting on it at times. - we felt that the notices for dog owners left for us were somewhat blunt & abrupt. We, of course would look after the accommodation but to be told that we 'must' do this and 'must' do that did not set us up with a great feeling about the time there and stressed my wife more than it really needed to: rules are fine but please treat us as adults when it comes to keeping in line. - the description of the property could have been clearer. Whilst we were aware that it was a single storey, it was not made clear that part of the other rental property on site was in fact on top of our accommodation. There was significant noise from what I assume was an uncarpeted or hard floor above us every time people walked about or used the stairs. This was true of both sets of people using the accommodation so we assume it was the floors rather than the people. Fortunately, there was little noise during the night apart from the odd toilet flush(!) - the garden provided for us was very small and the grass very long - even though someone mowed the grass on the area reserved for the other accommodation, ours was left long meaning that it wasn't really practical to use the garden. Overall these are relatively minor quibbles but sorting them out would have resulted in a super score for the property.

  The floorboards from Beckwood as so creaky.

  . it's fine if there's no one there but unfortunately the place was full for the duration of my stay. The guests from the 3rd to 8th at Beckwood were a group of youngsters who were up until 1am crashing around upstairs which kept me awake. They had 5 cars with them and took up the whole parking area and even onto the grass. They also used all the hot water - I tried to shower at random times during the day but because there were so many of them, they'd used it all. The shower is also really challenging to control and very hot. I had to have it on low flow to keep it at a manageable temperature. The kitchen doors need changing as the dishwasher one looks so untidy but luckily doesn't affect function. I found the let very comfortable overall, the sofas were great, the bed was comfortable. Overall it was clean but I did use the hoover to improve on the rug cleanliness and the poor cleaner must have a challenging job as it hardly touches it - there was clearly a white dog staying previous! The WiFi was slow and I was hoping to complete some work whilst I was away but the WiFi inhibited my ability as it wouldn't open websites on my laptop. I would stay again, as it's the perfect base and minus the faults, I had an enjoyable time! But I would try to avoid it when Beckwood was full or ask the owners who is staying there to avoid people who stay up late!

  On arrival about 5.

  15pm central heating came on but went off at 8 pm. By 9.30 flat became very cool especially when you went out of the lounge into the hallway. Bedtime 11.30 upstair bedrooms and shower room were extremely cold. Heating still hadn’t come on in the morning not pleasant especially when you are in your early 80s. Parking space was only just big enough. We had to take all the luggage/ dogs out of the drivers side because of the tall trees on the passenger side full length of the parking space.. Fortunately enough our Citron Bellingo has sliding doors. Parking space being right on the edge of the pavement on a busy road. Access from the boot wasn’t an option as it meant we would be blocking pedestrians walking past and having to walk out on to the road.We decide to leave a day earlier because of no heating. The flat is definitely well over priced for a 2 day stay. Only the kitchen and bathroom were modern rest of the house is in need of a makeover especially the lounge / upstairs shower room. The glass shelf over the sink not practical when you are washing or cleaning teeth.So easy to hit your head and little space to put anything on it

  We loved the fresh cake and prosecco with dog treats - this was a really lovely suprise.

  The property overall was fine although we hadn't realised that there was no windows in the main living area so we had to hang out in the bedroom if we wanted a view - and that was limited by the trees. The property heated up well - this was needed since it was jolly cold while we were there. However there were no logs for the log burning stove - we brought some up with us incase this was the case - but if you advertise a log burner and say fuel is included you should provide logs. We tried to get in touch before our holiday to find out if logs were provided and simply couldn't get in touch with Lakelovers - I tried on many occasions and eventually left a message for them to get back to us - still no reply. Very bad customer services - will try to avoid Lakelovers in future. If there was a real problem I have no confidence that we would have got any sort of response from them. We saw a few rats scurrying around outside the property and there was an alarming russling behind the sink so i think the owners need to address the rat situation.
