What our customers say about their holidays
Lesley - Verified booking
Gyll bank - The Barn, 9 - 16 Sep 2022 We have had a good stay here.
We know that most people dont bother to tell you what needs attention, but we think it is important. Overall the accommodation is adequate but needs some help. The kitchen tap is dripping relentlessly and it is really annoying. The kitchen is poorly equipped. I know it is the end of the season but surely the cleaning staff run an inventory? All the four saucepans are the same size!! 8 inches ish. Do the other apartments have all the big pans??? There is a knife block, all the knives are blunt. Two other knives in the drawer are blunt, including 3 inch knife that is not useful other than to deal with an apple. Luckily I read a comment from a previous holiday maker that there were no sharp knives, so I brought three of my own. I also bought a wok which we used instead of their small frying pans. The baking trays in the oven were burnt and unusable, which we saw immediately and the owners sorted that out as they were here for a short period. There are no black bags and very little cleaning materials. The top of the cooker is severely stained. There is no hob cleaner which would help the burnt on stains. And the washing up liquid is provided in tiny plastic containers. Would a whole bottle of washing up liquid break the bank? The settees donât appear to have been hoovered recently. There were wrappers etc under the three piece and we were looking for something down the back of the sofa and it is full of crumbs etc. The downstair toilet door needs oiling. Because the floor is tiled downstairs with hard kitchen surfaces and there is very little soft furnishings, the whole place is very echoey. So dripping taps, creaky doors, they really have an effect. The cupboard doors in the cupboard need soft closing stops as again they bang away. The ad says that there is super broadband here. Thats as may be but it suggests that signal and connection would be good, but we have had long periods of no connectivity. It seems to be connected to how many people are using it during the day . I know you canât do anything about that but do say that signal is still patchy despite super broadband. These comments are offered in the spirit of helping people that come here to enjoy this property after us. Lesley Dike

Lovely little cottage which worked well for us for our week.
Perfect for a family of 4 for a holiday. Cottage itself was as described. We didnât appreciate at the time of booking that there were 3 properties in this building. We had the central section which worked well for us but would have possibly booked elsewhere if we had been aware as more stressful with a young puppy with dogs either side and two boisterous boys. We were constantly worried about noise from the kids annoying the neighbours or the dog barking. The cottage doesnât have a garden, more surrounding fields with sheep. Not ideal for our dog who is used to roaming an enclosed garden. For both the kids and dog, watching out for sheep and sheep poo was an issue. Although they were lovely to see and hear, especially when they were in the patio area!!! The cottage itself has most of the necessary items but lacked a few of the basics to allow you get going without having to head back to the shops. Our neighbours had supermarket deliveries which, if timed right, would be ideal. Also of note, there is Wifi downstairs but it doesnât extent to the upstairs and the TV doesnât have any smart features - easily overcome with a firestick bought at the Argos in Kendal. Also, very dusty throughout and need of a bit of a deep clean. Not too much of a problem but I had to wash alot of the kitchen items and sinks before use as I wasnât convinced they were clean on arrival. The cottage is in an idyllic spot at the top of a hill just outside Staveley. We walked down to the village in 30mins with two 9 year olds. Bit of a trek back up again in the sun. Also, the drive up isnât for the faint hearted as it is a tight, single track road with minimal passing places however, it does make the area very quiet. Staveley itself was perfect. Everything you need for a holiday and in close proximity to Windermere and Kendal. The owners of the cottage came to check on us and make sure we were getting in fine which was a lovely personal touch and very much appreciated. Overall, a lovely place to spend a week provided you are aware of the surroundings before booking.

First impressions were good, but sadly thatâs where it ended.
It would be a good idea to wash the bedding and towels in a non-bio, non-perfumed detergent as I spent my entire stay itching as soon as I got into bed, so didnât sleep during my time there. The bedding also needs changing, when I stripped the bed upon departure as requested, there were many questionable stains on the duvet and mattress protector. The sofa and armchair also need replacing, as theyâre old and now uncomfortable. This meant, there was no comfortable place for me to sit or sleep, which was far from ideal. The whole place needed a deep clean e.g. there was still curry split from the last occupant in the microwave and their hair in the bathroom. The flat is on the top floor, up 2 steep flights of stairs, so think about how much you bring with you. The lack of parking and the one way system is also something you should consider. Leave yourself a minimum of half an hour to walk back to your car and navigate this system on the day youâre checking out. Also, although the location is great in the day, who knew at night Kendal âcomes to life.â From around 10pm-1am the Tesco Extra opposite becomes the hangout spot and thereâs a lot of shouting, so pack earplugs! Also, pack an eye mask as the blinds donât fit well either. There is no reception, only an emergency contact number. As none of the above constitutes an emergency, I had no one I could contact about these matters. Sadly this was not the restorative trip Iâd hoped it would be.

We had a wonderful stay in Kendal.
We booked last minute and I hoped that the listing details would be as good as they sounded - and they absolutely were. The apartment was so welcoming, comfortable and filled with fittings and furnishings that showed that the property is loved and cared for and the finer details have been carefully considered throughout. Itâs so nice to come somewhere that has lovely crockery, cutlery and most importantly good mugs!! The apartment was spotless from top to bottom. Kendal is the perfect base to explore the lakes from. We certainly made the most of our National Trust membership and tagged in plenty of other adventures along the way. Although the property doesnât have a designated parking space, this was never a problem. The 3 day parking permit which can be bought so easily from the machines, is such a good initiative by the local council. If you are visiting, this is a definite must do! The weather was hot when we first arrived so we had to have the windows open at night to start with, there was some noise from the high street into the night but it wasnât the end of the world. When the windows were shut there was none! Some lovely places to eat and drink in Kendal. The welcome book was a great help to get us started and we wandered and found even more. I would certainly return to the property and recommended to family and friends when we got home. A much needed, enjoyable break, was underpinned by the superb space at Helton Fell. Thank you!

We all could not have been happier with Howgills Retreat, we planned to just use it as a base to travel into the Lake District every day but we found ourselves wanting to spend more and more time relaxing at the lodge.
It was impeccably clean, quite modern while having tons of character, has a lovely view (sunsets were breathtaking), has a very well specced kitchen, well-decorated living space, great clean bathroom, large comfortable bedrooms, nice patio area... I could go on. It honestly felt like our little home, none of us wanted to leave. Before we arrived I managed to get myself lost (whilst actually only being 1 minute around the corner), so I called the owner and she was lovely and patient as I fumbled with a map trying to describe where I was. They had left us some treats and a nice letter welcoming us all, including the dog which was a nice touch! Speaking of the dog, he loved it. There is a grass field next to the lodge, there were some fence posts up without any wire so I'm not sure if this will always be accessible but he loved exploring that area. You have to be comfortable driving on some smaller lanes to access the property (nothing bad) and it's next to a working farm so you will be neighbours to sheep and horses etc, we loved this. I can't remember the last time I felt as relaxed. Thanks for the incredible stay, we will be back, hopefully this winter to cosy up by the fireplace.
