  We arrived late on the Friday due to M6 issues and getting away from our work on time (lecturers).

  On arrival it would of been nice to have had some milk for drinks, as we were very thirsty from the journey, There was however, coffee, tea, biscuits, sugar, no milk, salt , pepper or cooking oil, the basics for any stay. It was too late to then go out for such staples until the following day, having to go to Tebay (Southbound), this being quickest, easiest place to get such staples and we had breakfast there. I have stayed at many cottages, all have had such supplies available for the first hot drink on arrival. However everything else about the property was beautiful. The beds were really comfortable and lush, The bathroom was clean and well stocked. The kitchen had plentiful equipment for the weeks stay. The environment was lovely, including the garden area, very well planned out. Development points: 1. It was difficult to identify which bin to use, as the green one looked like it had previously (like our own), been used for garden waste. The blue one stated for specific waste, so this was the only alternative bin to use (blue one?) No recycling instructions available, or equipment for recycling. 2. The file was unclear about the bag colour for the towels / bedding, so blue ikea ones were used by myself, the other guests upstairs left theirs on their beds. 3. Milk on arrival, with supply of salt and pepper, cooking oil. 4. Grammar on the first page of your file needs addressing, looks unprofessional. Other pages in the file (in parts) had spacing errors, again just picky, but would look more professional if reprinted. 5. It may be worth considering a second toilet at the rear of the back entrance, where shoes and boots are to be kept? six adults , queues in a morning! It is relatively large area for boots etc.

  Our 22nd holiday cottage since 2017, this one has a nice homely feel when entering, off road parking at the door is great to load and unload.

  Home made biscuits, tea, coffee and milk and nice welcome pack touch. Immaculately clean and well presented with large smart tv, good Wi-Fi, stocked kitchen with plenty of all the essentials particularly if you wish to cook, vacuum, iron etc all provided Two bedrooms one with twin single beds and the main bedroom with wardrobe, drawers, TV and double bed…our first double as all previous ones have had king size or larger …..but still very comfortable Generous size bathroom with electric shower cubicle, towels provided Small paved enclosed outside area to the back ideal as other guests have commented to let the dogs out for a night time wee….but didn’t fancy the idea of sitting out with a glass of wine knowing it was a pittle and bin area Fabulous large park and playing fields immediately next door, gated and secure with plenty of bins. Ideally situated to access all the Lakes attractions and even east of M6 to visit the Yorkshire Dales Disappointingly the photo’s of the lounge show a lovely large and roomy 4 seat corner sofa and large coffee table so looks very inviting to sit and watch the large tv,,,,sadly they have been removed and replaced with a small painfully uncomfortable 2 seater sofa, a wooden kitchen style rocking chair and a 60’s Ercol type wooden slouch chair both of which have a comfort level lasting seconds …..what a shame that the cottage has been misrepresented by not updating the photo as the difference to what you expect compared to what you get are poles apart.

  We loved our stay at Croft Cottage overall.

  This is my third visit to the cottage and as usually I had a lovely time. The property is lovely and clean and the topper on the main bed really made a difference and was comfortable. The patio was lovely as we had some sunshine and was nice to sit out on with the dogs. The only downside was the footstools that were previously in the cottage have been removed and the two wooden chairs are to a very specific comfort. We could not get comfortable on the rocking chair or the other wooden chair so spent the week both of us huddled on the sofa with the footstool that we brought through from the bedroom. Might be worth considering putting another soft sofa or two soft chairs in the living room, like the one that is the main bedroom as it is much nicer having soft furnishings and something to put your feet up after a long days walking.

  Lovely cottage had a great time saw plenty of red squirrels.

  Housekeeping needs some attention when we arrived there were spiders and cobwebs in most room corners and windows and flies bits of plastic wrapping and dirt from previous guests sitting rm the worst lampshade and bottom of little round table lots of cobwebs and all the skirting boards dusty I know it’s hard to keep on top of it all being a old cottage I manage old thatched holiday cottages. Toaster tray full of crumbs lots dirt under microwave beside dining rm cabinet by squirrel bin lots of cobwebs. Maybe leave a few logs for guests to start one fire on arrival and information on where to buy extra for there stay . Some nice bath sheets instead of standard bath towels would make it feel a little more five star but these are just small negatives .

  We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lacet Cottage- we really didn't want to leave!

  The cottage is beautiful (even more so than the photos), and the surrounding scenery is stunning. One of the comfiest beds we've ever slept on, and we loved the underfloor heating downstairs. Would thoroughly recommend having a long soak in the roll-top bath in the smaller (but still large) bedroom. The house has everything you need for a great stay. Our Dachshund, Bumble, loved it, too, and made himself right at home from the first day. We did have to keep him on the lead in the garden due to him trying to get down to the river a few times, but this wasn't a huge issue. A massive thank you to Kate for the prosecco to celebrate my birthday during our stay- that was a lovely touch! We'd love to visit the cottage again.
