May 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent two week holiday This was a lovely property, in a quiet location. It was great exploring the area - even the weather was lovely! A small improvement would be to have a "manual" for the property - cooker and washing machine instructions and perhaps indications on local facilities although we sniffed out the lovely Jaspers Coffee shop in Braithwaite and the Ivy house for our special birthday celebrations. The foot-stool has a wealth of "attractions" leaflets and maps for walks; there was a plentiful supply of board games and jigsaws and DVDs - but we can't believe the weather in the Lake District could ever justify them!!! Great - just what we needed. ##### Mark W. Stayed 15 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jana H.

It's a pleasant cottage to stay at although it is a little tired and is in need of a little TLC. It's warm and clean and all linen and towels provided are of good quality. Suited to a couple or a family of 3. 4 adults would find it slightly cramped. Great location for the northern fells and access to Keswick and Cockermouth. ##### Richard G.

There are so many walks and runs you can do direct from the house. The one issue we had at the house was resolved within a few hours by the owners, they were so very helpful. Yes the double bedroom is a bit of a squeeze, but the other bedroom is a good size, with plenty of space downstairs. Easy parking for the one car. ##### Rowan L.

Everything we needed was provided, well equipped. Bit snug for 4 adults, as bedrooms are small. However it does say this in the information. Stairs are very steep, but this is also listed. Fab location, able to walk the dogs straight into the Forest. No WiFi but we did manage to pay for a hotspot for £8.00 per day. Parking not a problem. I think this will be one of our favourite cottages to return to, such good value. Booked again whilst we were there. ##### Brenda C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel M.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Anne R. Jul 28, 2021 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### In need of some improvement When we arrived we found the property had not been cleaned. We had to leave the property for this to happen. We were really upset about this considering Covid and the risk of catching it and the distance we had travelled. It would of been nice to have the offer of a complimentary coffee at a cafe while we waited! The description says there is patio furniture. I don’t agree with this, it is a broken park bench in the car park. There is no outdoor/ garden area for this property except the car park. This is not written on the description. The shower was broken and held together with a plaster which wasn’t doing anything, this meant we had to hold the shower head to have a shower. I did ask for this to be fixed but got no reply to my message. The double bed is noisy when you move just a little in it and not very comfortable. The kitchen cupboard had a broken handle and some of the wood was broken. The whole house is tired and in need of some loving care. Apart from the above the property is in a beautiful location and we enjoyed making the most of the area and walks around us. ##### Anne R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne B.

Apr 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely stay and great location Great cottage to stay in. Had a lovely short break here. Enjoyed walks from the cottage. Was clean and had everything we needed. Perfect for us and would stay again, although could do with some updating. ##### Claire B.
