Remote and just loved it

Loved the cosiness, peaceful and quiet location, fireplace, record player etc. Everything was excellent 👌

Liked everything

Quiet location, lovely mountain view. Kitchen and everything you would need for self catering is in place. Great area for relaxation with old fashioned record player a bonus. Plenty of books, games and DVDs in case you'd like to spent day indoors/ bad weather.

Everything! Such a perfect little cottage that had everything we needed for our weeks stay. Great for exploring the western lakes and still only 40 mins from other beautiful parts of the Lake District. As mentioned in previous reviews the mezzanine lounge is a lovely touch with a huge record and book collection. Well stocked kitchen which enabled us to cook when we stayed in.

The only thing for me was not having an enclosed garden to let the dog out first thing and at night so we would probably leave her at home next time.

Our recent stay at this charming cottage was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene surroundings and the cosy, welcoming atmosphere of the cottage. The cottage is its perfect location situated in beautiful countryside and close to a village and with a garage shop just down the road, the shop had everything we could possibly need, making it easy to stock up on essentials. For walking enthusiasts like ourselves, the cottage was the perfect gateway for fantastic walks in the area, all within a half-hour's drive. Whether you prefer leisurely strolls or more challenging hikes, there was something for everyone. Exploring the breath-taking landscapes nearby was a true highlight of our stay. Despite our initial hiccup with the hot water, we were thoroughly impressed by the quick and efficient response from the hosts, Stephanie and Dave. Dave arrived within the hour and not only resolved the issue but also shared valuable insights about the local area and recommended some walks for us, which did not disappoint. The cleanliness and attention to detail in the cottage did not go unnoticed. It was evident that the owners take great pride in maintaining a spotless and well-equipped space. The cosy lounge with its log burner was a cherished feature, especially on the colder evenings, our dog particularly enjoyed curling up by the fire. In conclusion, our stay at this cottage was nothing short of wonderful. From the location to the warm hospitality, everything exceeded our expectations. If you're seeking a tranquil getaway with all the comforts of home, we wholeheartedly recommend booking a stay here. It's the perfect retreat for anyone looking to unwind, explore, and create lasting memories.

nothing - it was perfect

Well equipped cottage in a beautiful peaceful setting. Including Krup coffee machine and slow cooker. Comfortable and cosy interior. Great location for visiting St Bees and Western Lakes. Highly recommended St Bees for dog walks. Thank you for a fabulous stay

Cute cottage, with lots of entertainment choices (games, books, DVDs). Fully equipped kitchen (though the oven switch could do with a clean - had to turn it off to stop the flashing timer after electrics were fixed). Lots of storage space in the bedroom. Easy parking, great views. Friendly neighbours. Snug area upstairs was great, comfortable & well equipped with games. Very dog friendly, perfect for our dog to relax after long days. Great for the coast, bit of a drive for the Lake District, but we did it each day with no issues. We'd stay again. Washing machine and airer provided, plenty of space to hang towels. Powerful sizeable shower.

Shower tiles could do with a scrub. Unfortunately on the first night there was an issue with lighting, but hosts communicated well and the issue was fixed the following day. Lamps provided throughout to help. Issue didn't have too much impact. I wish I'd known the bathroom was downstairs. With mobility issues and a need to access the bathroom 5 or 6 times a night, the unfamiliar stairs made it quite stressful & tiring. Garden not enclosed means taking the dog for very dark walks before bed - though headlamps & torches provided. Fridge freezer quite small, with broken handles. The same issue almost all places seem to have - no plug sockets near a mirror for doing hair. Difficult to find plug for chargers in the bedroom too. We found the bed uncomfortable - too hard for us, but I'm sure others will find it comfortable. Main issue with this property is that it's unsuitable to those with mobility issues (stairs to enter, loo downstairs, stairs quite steep, though a sturdy banister is provided). Would recommend to able bodied friends.
