Brown Cow Cottage

There wasn't anything we didn't like Our host went above and beyond to help out with a birthday surprise

Was a family visit so know the area which was ideal for us....Next door to the pub where we ate every night...lovely food beer and atmosphere

All good for what we wanted

Lovely cottage, nice classic decor, good facilities, everything that was needed. Great location, the pub next door had friendly staff, good food and a lovely beer garden. The main bedroom was massive, a double bed, wardrobes, 2 sets of drawers and a single bed with room for more. Two bathrooms which were great and the hard floors took away the worrying about the dogs. The cottage itself was very dog friendly, as was the pub next door. Good location too, we walked up the street a few times where there were a couple of shops, pubs, take aways etc. We also walked to Furness Abbey, which was lovely. Only 20-30 minutes away from tourist attractions such as the lakeside and hatherwaite railway, Lakeland motor museum and others.

The only thing that was slightly disappointing was that the garden wasn't secure as stated. There was a wall at the end which was about 1.5ft so the dogs could get out easily and we had to keep them on leads in the garden and couldn't just have the door open. Also the bed in the main room could do with upgrading as it doesn't feel overly secure.

Amenities within it were fantastic. Great location Perfect for a family and to be able to have a home away from home

The single beds in the smaller room, in particular need renewed. Not a comfortable sleep in that room.

We liked everything about the cottage. It was clean inside, and bedrooms were tidy well equipped with towels and bathroom same. The kitchen was equipped well with clean cutlery.

It could have blinds in the kitchen patio doors at night it is dark and would be nice if it was covered. The ceiling in the sitting room started to leak water. My husband was mopping and said he nearly slipped. So that needs to be repaired. Otherwise, everything else in the sitting room seemed nice. Thanks.

Just spent the weekend here with some friends and my Dad while exploring the Lakes on motorbikes and all 4 of us were beyond happy with this as a stay over spot. The cottage was really lovely and had exactly what you'd need. The decor is really nice, the kitchen and bathrooms seemed modern and of high quality. The adjoined pub is a beautiful location where we spent our evenings, the food was incredible and prices were very reasonable. Would 10000% come back!

The barman with the long hair and beard could be a bit more friendly but it was hot and he was at work so we'll let him off

Location was great, lovely area, lots of history and really nice flowers around. Pub next door was very busy, food was lovely, reasonably priced and good portions too. Cottage garden was great for the dog and a quiet place to sit. We had fabulous weather as well which was a bonus. There was everything we needed in the cottage, we had a lovely 2 night stay.

The information on Booking.com was outdated and confusing. In one area it stated no charge for the dog, in another it stated there was. We paid £10 for 2 nights for the dog which we didn't mind but this was clarified after booking by the property and paid on arrival. There are two bathrooms which we didn't realise until we got there. The only thing we missed slightly in the cottage was a dishwasher but not much of an issue for two nights.
