The well-equipped kitchen and thoughtful touches, such as treats for guests and pets, have been appreciated, contributing to a homely and enjoyable stay.
The majority of reviews commend the cottage for its spotless condition and cleanliness. One isolated incident regarding a used razor does not significantly impact the overall high standard observed by guests.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views and proximity to local attractions, parks, and eateries. It serves as an excellent base for exploring the southern Lake District, with some minor concerns about narrow pavements and road walking for dogs.
Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with ample space and a restful atmosphere. However, there are a few remarks about the beds being too hard or uncomfortable, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
Reviews highlight the well-stocked kitchen and the presence of all necessary utensils and appliances. Some minor issues with TV remotes and heating system misuse are noted, but overall, the facilities meet guests' needs effectively.
While guests have mentioned treats for both themselves and their pets, there is not enough consistent information across reviews to accurately score thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

It was perfectly located to visit all over the Lake District. Lovely and quiet and you get a superb view while eating at the table. Would highly recommend this cottage for couples and families as plenty of space. If going back to the Lakes, which we probably will, we would definitely stay here again, itâs a credit to the owner.

The accommodation was first class in all respects. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed and the view from the dining table was delightful. The sitting room was also very comfortable. The location was ideal with the southern Lake District easily accessible.

However on the negative side the beds were uncomfortable and the parking outside the property proved difficult at times.
