"Gorgeous cottage in a superb location."

10.0

The location was excellent with lovely views up the hill. Right next to Askham Stores which has some delightful local luxuries as well as all the essentials. Easy walk to either of the two pubs in the village, both of which serve delicious food.

I would have liked a broom to sweep the floor downstairs but I did find a dustpan and brush so that worked (that says more about my messy family than this impeccable property lol)

"Lovely countryside cottage in peaceful Askham"

10.0

Lovely place with everything that you need for a short stay. We were attending a wedding so it was ideally located for that and the local shop being next door is exceptionally convenient.

"We would definitely book again if we're coming to the Lakes."

10.0

Beautifully presented cottage. My only small criticisms would be that there were no spare light bulbs - two failed during our stay - and the very elegant induction hob had no instructions, which wasn't too problematic but the thing simply isn't intuitive! And it's also very difficult to clean properly...

As above. Perhaps a bathrrom cloth for daily cleaning, an extra tea-towel for drying up, and the spare light bulbs. Otherwise very comfortable and luxurious.

"Lovely cosy cottage in a wonderful location"

9.0

It was a lovely cosy cottage but still with modern amenities. The beds were really comfy. Location was brilliant, easy to find, easy to get to the lakes and into Penrith, and could park right outside.

Could have done with a couple extra bits eg a hairdryer, a few more dishwasher tablets. That is being very picky though!

"Three of us in our seventies, and not particularly mobile. We all loved it."

8.0

A charming cottage right in the centre of a really attractive and friendly village. Village shop on one side and pub on the other. But no noise! Wonderful walks from the front door, and Penrith or Pooley Bridge about 12 mins by car. The master bedroom ensuite has a low door and part of the bathroom ceiling is low so you need to mind your head.

A couple more dishwasher tablets would have been helpful, and there was no washing powder or liquid for the washing machine.
