I had to wipe the cupboards a nd fridge out. We had a problem with tv first night due to remote being flat and needing a recharge. Now put a note in book as it is solar recharched or Samsung charger. We were also cold and could not fathom how to turn heating up. Radiators were luke warm. Maybe they need bleeding. However we enjoyed our stay snd the new 3/s sofa is great

My wife and I, found it to be comfortable and practical inside. The kitchen had everything we needed. I liked the open plan ground floor and clever dining space. The first floor landing was a little haven where we could sit and read, or look at the terrace through the sliding picture window. The terrace provided another space to sit and eat when the weather was dry. We used the double bedroom on the second floor because it was adjacent to the bathroom. All in all, it was just right for us.

When we arrived the house had not been cleaned properly . It had not been hoovered , there were dirty pots in the dishwasher and a dirty coffee cup in the bedroom . Added to that there was no loo roll , no oven gloves , no corkscrew , only one tea towel and only 3 mugs in a house for 4 people . The top bedroom has velux roof windows but there are no blinds on them so woken up by the bright light at. 5.30 each morning . There is a washing machine but no tumble drier or clothes airer to then dry clothes and no iron . Added to that during our stay the boiler stopped working and we had to wait til the following morning for the housekeeper to come so had no hot water for one day. There is no equipment for cleaning either so with a dog in the lakes and returning from walks it would benefit from a hoover and mop. Ulverston is lovely and the cottage is in a great location but needs some improvement to housekeeping and facilities .
