Spacious property in a lovely setting, the property needs a some work doing on it, flaking ceiling in the upstairs bathroom, big cracks in the other rooms. As it was only myself staying with 2 dogs I shut off two of the bedroom and the lounge with the fireplace for my stay. The first night I was there I let the blinds down in the bedroom and when I pulled it up in the morning one piece of string broke, as I tied it back together I noticed the blinds were very mouldy, for the rest of the visit I left the blinds up as was worried they would break. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need but it would be nice to have a cupboard spare to put food in. As my dogs got muddy each time we had a 10-20miles walk it would of been handy to have a outside tap to wash them down or a bucket with no hole

On arrival the oven was not working, as it was late this was reported the following morning(Sunday). It was repaired on Thursday, most of our fresh food was off by then and thrown away. We came home on Friday a day early so realy had no cooking facilities all of our stay. A basket full of logs was provided but the log burner was broken and would allow carbon monoxide to build up in the room so it was unuseable. Apart from the obvious lack of maintainance the house was perfect as are its surroundings and we hope to be back in the lakes soon. PS, the gardener was very pleasant and helpful, top man your lucky to have him.

The cottage is clean and well presented with all you would need for a comfortable stay. Beautiful views, with local attractions and plenty of local eating establishments, all good value for money. Even our Labrador was catered for, dog blanket and chews for his stay.
