  It's lovely located cottage with amazing views and its own character and please trust me, I'm not trying to be difficult, but I cannot justify the price we paid with this standard. I'm deeply disappointed with the lack of cleanliness starting from smelly and rooting rug in the bathroom wet from god knows how long (really disgusting). Next, smell of the fuel in one of the rooms with broken window and "notice not to open". I'm not sure if this is safe, but this should be looked by professional. Next, visit the place yourself and see if oven or kitchen hob are clean. During our stay, owen was very dirty (I mean not cleaned properly for a very long timel), and also drops of the very old oil hanging from the hood (it takes long time to build, so as there for wuite a bit). There is also a black sock under sofa in living room, which was quite disgusting to discover when I dropped something... Cleaning materials access to vacuum etc would be also a great benefit if you would like to improve the overall comfort. Waching machine capsules would also be handy for the cost customers pay so they don't need to think about it during their stay. I truly understand old cottage style and already visited many, I just belive it should be very clean and comfortable for the customers considering business character of the property and its cost to stay.

  It's an absolutely stunning location, very close to Cathedral caves and Slaters bridge. There's quite a lot of people walking past as it leads to the Cumbrian Way. Very tight road down to the cottage - single lane. Pub about 10 mins walk. The cottage itself is very old so it's quite higgledy piggledy and amazingly thick walls. Lots of steps everywhere so not brilliant for people with mobility issues. Bathroom is downstairs and it's fine - decent space and decent electric shower. It was clean. Kitchen is a good size - underfloor heating works in a small area of it. It's equipped ok. The plates and glasses were dirty though so we had to rewash them. There's a small dishwasher. The downstairs bedroom smells strongly of oil which we notified Original Cottages about and they sent a handyman who said he's been out before due to the same issue. It needs fixing as it's not pleasant. The window is painted shut in the room apart from the small top one which can open a couple of inches. We left that open and the door and the windows in the adjacent rooms but it still smelt of oil. Upstairs theres a small single and a double room which were pretty comfortable. The sitting/dining room is cozy. Comfortable sofas. The internet is ok - not great signal. Could do with some boosters as the walls are so thick.

  Overflowing with charm and character

  If you're considering booking The Little Cottage, by all means, do. The pictures and video simply do not do it justice. Perfectly charming and cosy, The Little Cottage an incredible local art collection. It's as if you're staying in a gallery, minus the stuffiness. The owners have clearly poured heart and soul into every detail, and it doesn't go unnoticed. If you're interested in Beatrix Potter, the cottage is also home to a collection of discrete character paraphernalia, from Squirrel Nutkin references sprinkled throughout the house to an endearing selection of character garden sculptures in the back garden. Excellent (and responsive) heating in winter, comfortable beds, and well stocked and appointed kitchen and amenities. The boot room with drying rack is a plus, as is the star gazing-friendly hot tub. Take care with parking if you're in a large vehicle, as parking is tight (for long vehicles) and can take some maneuvering, as with many areas in the Lake District. Otherwise fantastic location close to Ambelside and Grasmere. Take note the owners' recommendations in the welcome book in the cottage--they've many spot-on recommendations for the area. Prompt and clear communication with Dan the owner--we'll be returning!

  Outstanding ..

  It’s been said but The Little Cottage is a unique find, it’s quality of finish is genuinely exceptional and Dan made the entire experience from first enquiry email, through the booking process to post holiday a real pleasure. The cottage is beautifully appointed, it’s facilities and quality of every element are just a cut above. The garden is a delight and the hot tub welcomed. Everything is “as new” and every pot pan, utensil and appliance of exceptional brand and quality. My family and I visited in August, 2 children and dog, and whilst it is a cottage it’s use of colour, furniture never and it’s clever outside room and space never left us on top of one another. The area itself is idyllic a true find in the U.K. and walks, cycling and water sports are all on your doorstep. The Britannia Inn which is a minute from your door serves superb food and has a quiet happy buzz about it and you get to people watch all the days day walkers making it down from the numerous passes that meet in the village. What can we say 5 stars all the way..

  Lovely location which was a hit with my children as they could play in the Ford. The beds were comfortable and most things we needed were available. It does feel however that the cottage needs a really good spring clean and not just a surface clean. It was great that we could take our dogs but there was no vacuum or long handled brush to clear up the inevitable dust and fur that dogs make. A bedroom fan would be useful as the front bedroom was very warm even with the windows open. The use of the local spa is an added bonus especially with children. The garden is tiny and not secure for dogs or very young children but the quiet location is a bonus.
