  We spent Christmas at Chimney Gill with our family of 10 adults, 1 ‘pre teen’ and 2 toddlers.

  It is a lovely cottage with plenty of room for all of us. Lots of equipment ( high chairs, travel cots, cooking utensils, towels etc) provided by the friendly owners who were quick to supply extra forks when requested. They had decorated the cottage for Christmas with a real tree which we appreciated. The house is very warm for the most part and the heating is easy to adjust. My son and his family found the ground floor bedroom a little cold at first but he turned the radiator up and was impressed by how quickly the room heated up. The owners recently had a new door fitted in the shower in the main bathroom but the shower still has a slight leak. The showers in the en-suites are very good. As keen cooks and bakers, we enjoyed working in the large kitchen, although perhaps we could have done with slightly more work surfaces to prepare Christmas dinner. We brought extra baking pans and roasting tins to cook over the Christmas period but in normal circumstances the owners have provided adequate pans and crockery. The location is a little remote (although easy to find) but we enjoyed trips out driving round the lanes admiring the scenery on our way to Carlisle (25 minutes) and to Grasmere (1 hour). We didn’t get chance to use the spa pass, but maybe another time. To summarise, we had a great time and would love to return. Thank you.

  On the whole our stay was lovely and comfortable for the 3 nights we stayed.

  Any longer would have been annoying. just a couple of suggestions. -some sort of curtain/blind on patio doors. Once the sun came up I was awake as it was so light at 4am. -a small mirror on the wall in perhaps bedroom area as I need to dry my hair and no where to stand the bathroom mirror. -the pictures in the ad suggested that bathroom toiletries are provided, luckily we brought some. These misleading pictures should be removed. -at the cottage instructions for tv and internet say signal can be weak, however no watchable picture on tv and internet strength was so poor we never were able to use it, which was not an issue for us but may be for others. -first cottage we have ever stayed in and had to go buy washing up liquid. -I think it should be in the add that there is nowhere to hang clothes (some hooks on bedroom side of bathroom door but these are for the likes of towels or coats) or any storage so need to live out of your case during stay. For 3 night this was doable but again any longer would be annoying.

  Me and my husband stayed for 3 nights.

  Amazing micro-cabin. Very clean and tidy. It is smaller than it looks on the pictures, we wasn't able to use the 'breakfast bar' as a small fridge in now under it. I think that area would be better used as storage and a fold down table be located under the TV as there is a storage box shelf there. Private hot tub is now completely screened off and a chimney with firewood provided. The grounds are large and you're free to walk around, and you walk out thr drive and go on some beautiful walks. As you arrive the property it can be felt that you're in someones back garden, however the grounds are so large you can completely relax and not see anyone after arrival. The owners Trevor and Danielle were fantastic and went through everything when we arrived. An added bonus they have 2 beautiful dogs that are friends and love a cuddle. If you are extremely tall or require any additional room as this is a micro cabin you may not be as comfortable as this beautiful cabin can provide. Would highly recommend staying here.

  Me and my husband recently stayed here for our honeymoon and wow!

  What a beautiful unique place! So tidy and cosy! Yeah its on the small side but it's not supposed to be a huge mansion, it was just right! Trevor and Danielle are so lovely and welcoming! We even had a little gift of a bottle of bubbly which was a lovely touch! The beds are super comfy, best few nights sleep we've ever had! I know people say they look forward to their own bed but honestly we miss this bed! The hot tub was heated for our arrival and it was amazing sat in the hot tub on the night looking into the beautiful night sky! There's no signal and poor Internet connection but we didn't care, we was there to enjoy each others company and to take in the surroundings! There was coffee, milk and sugar available for us and also hot chocolate and marshmallows to enjoy by the chimnea. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and we couldn't recommend 'reflection' enough! And we definitely want to stay again! Thank you for an amazing and memorable honeymoon!

  We had a great stay.

  The property is lovely, in a very nice peaceful location and the Reflection Pod was nice and spacious. The Hot Tub looked over a stream which was very relaxing. It was nice to have a pod which was a bit larger and had a bedroom separate from the living room. The bathroom was a good size also and it had all the facilities you could need. The only downside was there were no toiletries and just one toilet roll - we didn't actually bring any shower gel or shampoo so this was a little disappointing. We did raise this the next day and it was down to the cleaning company but unfortunately we still didn't get any toiletries for the next evening. The only other issue was the hot tub - there was far too much chlorine which actually caused a reaction and it did spoil the stay a bit. Other than this though the hosts were lovely and it really was a nice location. I would just highly recommend the owners look into the toiletries and the Hot Tubs for any future guests.
