Guests say
Little Knott is a well-loved, quirky cottage praised for its comfort, unique upside-down design, and warm atmosphere. Guests enjoy the peaceful location, convenient for exploring the Southern Lakes, and the cottage's proximity to Coniston. The enclosed garden is a hit with pet owners, and the views are consistently admired. Some mention the welcome addition of central heating and a cosy log burner, enhancing the stay.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as clean and tidy, indicating high standards of cleanliness. One mention of a sooty smell suggests a minor issue with the log burner, but this does not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.
The location is appreciated for its tranquillity and proximity to Coniston and other Southern Lakes destinations. Some guests note the presence of a nearby road, but the double glazing minimises noise. The rural setting with sheep in adjacent fields adds to the charm.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of cosy log fires, comfortable beds, and a warm welcome from the heating system. Some guests find the stairs challenging and the sofas less comfortable, but overall, the cottage is considered very cosy.
The cottage is well-equipped for self-catering, with a log burner and initial logs provided. Some guests experienced issues with hot water and wall heaters, and there's a mention of a lack of a coffee machine. However, the addition of central heating and other amenities are positively noted.
Guests appreciate thoughtful touches like the provision of snacks, hot chocolate, and even a bottle of wine. While these gestures are warmly received, it's important to note that such gifts may vary and are not guaranteed with every stay.
