    Can’t fault the property but if I had to the bath was out of order and the one shower was very temperamental the other shower was in the annex outside the property

    It was in the middle of nowhere away from the hustle and bustle of life very peaceful

    The property could use a little maintenance work, the garden around the hot tub needs its light bulbs replacing as it was too dark at night, everything is already there just the lights weren’t working. One side of the toaster kept tripping the electric, as did using the dryer alongside the kettle.

    Really wonderful location, house, garden and amenities. Even though we stayed in August, due to the location on a quiet road it didn’t feel like it in terms of business. Really close (10 min drive) to Fell Foot which we launched our paddleboards from (there’s some pull-ins near by we could park as we went early each morning). Some really nice pubs nearby too! Hannah was very helpful. Definitely recommend overall.

    Access road to the cottage was quite narrow. I am not used to driving on such roads, but after couple of times going through it, it became a breeze. Also there is no WiFi coverage in attached separate bedroom, and mobile coverage there was not great. Otherwise in the whole cottage, WiFi and mobile coverage were great.

    Cleanliness was amazing. One of the best, much better than 4 or 5 stars hotels that I have been to. Amenities in the cottage were just great with outdoor spa tub and outdoor table and chairs just amazing. Also firewood places in living room, attached room, and backyard are also great. Smart TV giving us access to all streaming services that we are subscribed to. Cottage has all appliances that you may ever need: washing machine, dryer, oven, microwave, water boiler,….. On top of that, cottage is equipped with all essentials that you can think of: utensils, cleaning material, water bottles, wood logs, even spices, you name it. WiFi access and mobile coverage were very good. Owner was very responsive for the few inquiries we had and she was very much keen on getting us comfortable in the place.

    Most wonderful cottage, loved the welcome package of bubbles, crisps and biscuits. The house was of high quality finishes and there was plenty of logs for the log burner. Very comfortable beds and amazing views. We would love to stay here again. Only negative was that the 4th bedroom was in an out building which we were not aware of.

    Because of the extremely cold weather (-5°c) the hot tub took so long to get to an appropriate temperature meaning I spent a long time getting it going and keeping an eye on it, arriving at 3pm our first day meant using the hot tub wasn't possible. This wasn't the host's fault but I wonder if possibly this could have been set away a little before guests arrive just with it being advertised as a selling point of the cottage. Then unfortunately there was a hot water issue in the beautiful room with the en suite which we looked forward to staying in as I was away with my fiancée and her parents. We managed without it but it was a shame. Again though the hosts did tell me this was an issue the day I booked it, and as I did book only 1 day in advance this could have likely all been organised had I booked a bit earlier. We will most definitely be staying again and look forward to staying in that room. The whole place is honestly amazing and my dislikes aren't really dislikes.

    The decor was absolutely beautiful, it looked like it had come straight out of a magazine. The hosts were brilliant and messaged us before our stay with a number to call if we needed to. The instructions at the cottage were easy to follow. Everything was so comfortable, the sofas and the beds were super relaxing and the whole place was just a dream of relaxation. No noise or light pollution. Making the hot tub on a night truly magical.

    The house is beautiful and has great views. Lovely layout to house, and very clean. Owners left us prosecco, chocolates, eggs and milk. The house was well heated and had everything you could need. It was a family visit, 2 couples and 2 single people and there was plenty of room as the property has 4 rooms. It has central heating plus log burners. It has washing machine, tumble drier and all appliances you could need. Room for us to park our three cars. Lovely house, we enjoyed our tine here.

    The only issue we had was finding the property at the outset, which was quickly remedied by checking the emailed info by the host. The email had only got to me an hour prior to reaching though so would have been helpful to have it beforehand.

    Beautiful property with lots of space. Great location, close to several pubs.

    There was presumably a leek in the roof in the downstairs bedroom as during rain water ran down the metal chimney on to the wood burner.

    The spacious living room with log burner and the comfy beds.

    Living among the locals up in the hills away from the main town centre. Stunning scenery very peaceful and comfy. The owners provided delicious snacks, champagne and milk and plenty of wood for the lounge fire and hot tub. Also great instructions and advice on local attractions 🙏😁
