  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.

  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.

  Beautiful house with stunning views, nice and cosy and warm.

  Plenty of hot water great showers and bath. We had a very enjoyable stay. Improvements we would suggest is upgrade cooker which took a very long time to heat up and microwave was a bit temperamental. Shame it’s not a full size dishwasher for the number it sleeps - not mentioned in the listing. A thorough deep clean is required - which we appreciate is difficult with what’ looks like a very popular property. Extra Logs and kindling were requested but did not arrive. It seemed that someone may have been in the property while we were out as the number the keysafe had been left on had been changed and the garden furniture out the front had been moved and some piled up?

  The property is beautiful.

  It’s was super clean. It had everything we needed in the kitchen - a good supply of pans, utensils and sharp knives which is often lacking in holiday rentals. The shower is good. The garden seating area and the log burner are great there’s somewhere nice to sit whatever the weather. I would definitely stay again! My only suggestion for a slight improvement would be some drawers in the bedrooms. The only clothes storage is in the hallway and just having a couple of drawers in the bedroom to store undies would be nice. Having to go to the hallway or keep things in a suitcase in the bedroom is a bit awkward. But other than that it’s perfect!
