+It’s beautiful inside and out. The location is perfect.
−The dirty water from the taps made things difficult. The unreliable heating made things uncomfortable. Cant lite a fire without getting smoke in the house. Not healthy.

“After the very disappointing start, spending time with our family made our stay.”
+Location, views and style of the cottage
−The garden was very overgrown nothing like the photos. Which was very disappointing as we had planned this trip with a lot of thought and had planned a bbq for our daughter’s 30th birthday that evening. Having to spend 2 hours making the garden accessible and then having to mow the upper part of the garden ourselves the next day. Not what we expected….

“A perfect accommodation for a family break offering a range of amenities and historic charm.”
+A beautiful property with unique charm and offering everything we required to have a relaxing break. We really appreciated the remote nature of the location, right in the middle of nature. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and the style and appointment of the bedrooms added to the historical appeal of the cottage.
−I would have really appreciated some information about the backstory to the property. The cottage looks like it would have a rich history attached to it and would be great to get an insight into this.

+The location was lovely and the cottage had a very homely feel.
−(Maybe missed this in early correspondence) Wasn't aware we wouldn't be able to drink the water at the property. Luckily lots of water provided. But made us anxious to do anything like brushing teeth etc. The heating was programmed to come on in the middle of the night and it was extremely hot. Was cold in the evenings. Maybe check the timings for preset heating which you tell your guests not to touch.

“Excellent value for money, comfortable, real feel of being in the countryside.”
+The size of the property and the configuration of the rooms was ideal for our purposes. Views are spectacular. Location is remote (which we liked), and journey time to great local places (Windermere; Kendal; Fell Foot Park; Cartmel; Lake; Etc) was not a problem. Garden is ideal for small children (who loved exploring the house and the garden). The property is quite dated, though we loved this as it brings real character. Overall, this was great value for money. Will definitely consider staying again.
−The interior of the property could benefit from a one-off deep clean, as several areas have cobwebs, accumulated dust, etc. Standardised messages prior to arrival and within the property are quite cold and not very friendly/welcoming, though the little contact I had with Aly suggests management is helpful. There's a minor error in the directions (not signed 'Windermere/Kendal' as stated in second paragraph, as should say 'Bowness/Windermere', though anyone using satnav/maps will probably not be following the written directions anyway).

“A very upsetting experience!”
−We attended for 3 days and the hot water & central heating system was broken on all 3 days. The promised repair man never came. We got a partial refund from the property owner but we would never stay there again.
