Walks from the door so didn't always need to use the car. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Conservatory was a bonus even when the weather was a little grey.

The cottage was so comfortable and had everything you may need in a holiday home. We also especially enjoyed lighting the log burner each evening. The cottage was in a perfect position for walking to Bowness which is a great place with lots to do and the hills are right behind the cottage ready for wonderful walks. I would happily return here.

I had to hoover up on arrival - the play room had dead flies all on the floor. Living room had not been cleaned properly, my daughter was playing downstairs and a nail was found under the rug/mat. - need a new hoover as the one provided was not great either. The toilet was dirty, this had not been cleaned - I donât think I need to go into detail. Smoke alarm had been disabled in the play room Iâm guessing by previous guests, the smoke alarm on the bedroom landing was beeping when we arrived, I called customer services who posted a battery through the door and then I had to fit this myself, I called customer services as it is not down the guests to service health and safety features - no one attended or called me back! I had an email once we left the property to say that these had been sorted - this actually was no good to us and our holiday had ended and this situation had caused us to worry. The stairs are very tricky with a toddler who wants to go up and down, these were not represented on the listing properly. The stickers on the oven for degrees and grill/oven etc are none existent so it was tricky to know what to put the oven on. Luckily we had plans and were out most of the days but unfortunately I would not stay again.
