St Matthews cottages

Perfect location for exploring the northern lakes and Allonby beach. Logs were a thoughtful touch. Great communication. Outstanding value.

Beds could do with firmer mattresses.

Nice cozy cottage, clean and had everything you needed

The boiler is not enclosed and in open space between kitchen cupboards and needs attention, its metal covers vibrate constantly when fired up and this made for an unpleasant and annoying aspect to our stay. At night the TV signal deteriorates and the picture constantly breaks up so you are lucky to watch a full programme, The wooden double bed creaks. I only noticed whilst writing this review that all the points I have raised above have also been raised before by previous guests and the fact they have not been addressed by the owners is not really acceptable.

Immaculately clean , and well appointed in a lovely traditional building

There was nothing to dislike

This is a beautiful place to stay. Very clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed and the owner is so pleasant to deal with and went out of her way to drop us off some extra wood for the fire.

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like.

Good location for my visits very comfortable

Television buffed during the evening. Re tuned but no good. Watched programmes on my laptop. Ok to watch programmes during the day on the television. Really crap!! Property sleeps 4 but bathroom very small accessible by a very steep staircase at night very dangerous as by the back door.

The cottage is in a small village. Parking was great. The place was toasty warm and great for our short stay with 2 grandchildren. It was good value for money and communication was quick. The kitchen was well equipped. Linen and towels were fresh . Plenty of hot water. Comfy sofa in the lounge which is nicely decorated.

The double bed was very soft and really creaky. The boiler was really noisy and irritating . Wi-Fi signal was sketchy and the Tv kept pixelating so we couldn’t watch it at all.The staircase showed some signs of wear and tear and could do with a touch up in places. A little cooking oil / shampoo and second toilet roll would also have been appreciated.

In a nice village, close enough to what we wanted to visit

The property was a lovely cottage, clean and had a great kitchen and accessory’s

My mistake on the key lock code as I booked it so long ago, on the day I asked about it but people have other life commitments and we struggled to access the property, a reminder would be helpful. The TV situation is poor due to internet strength and also the tv could do with being more modem. The double bed mattress definitely needs to be replaced as it’s had its days, very tired and exhausted. Their in laws dog is adorable but does scratch against your door a lot for attention which set our dogs off, there was dog mess from the dog in the yard as it has full access which isn’t pleasant and the yard wasn’t ideal to allow our dogs to allow to roam free with their greenhouse, disappointing no rear chillinging time tables and chairs due to the rear feeling it was all for the in-laws. The internet seriously needs a look into improving, and the tv connection.
