Guests say
Guests generally appreciate the spacious and homely Lord's Leap cottage, set in a beautiful location with lovely grounds, ideal for families and pet-friendly. The availability of a swimming pool and play area adds to the appeal, despite some concerns over maintenance and cleanliness.
Cleanliness
The cottage received mixed feedback on cleanliness. Some guests found it quite clean, while others reported issues with dog hair, stained carpets, and a lack of thorough cleaning between visits. The overall impression suggests room for improvement.
Location
The location is highly praised for its beauty and convenience, with guests enjoying the surrounding area and its proximity to local villages. The estate's grounds are also appreciated for their upkeep and scenic walks.
Comfort
Comfort levels are generally good, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the cottage spacious. However, some noted dampness in bedrooms and issues with furniture, which detracted from the overall comfort.
Facilities
Facilities like the swimming pool and games room are appreciated, but several guests reported maintenance issues such as broken appliances and lack of hot water. The gym's additional cost was also a point of contention.

There are four bedrooms, each bright and comfortable, along with a shower room and a bathroom. A delightful Lake District cottage at any time of the year.
The picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Cars are banned from the village, leaving visitors free to wander the wealth of tiny alleyways, thoroughfares, archways and courtyards between the whitewashed 17th century houses. With stunning scenery and numerous attractions within easy touring distance, Hawkshead is in an ideal location at any time of the year.
