“What a breathtaking location.”
+Quiet amazing views perfect for us to ignore the world
−Liked everything just some suggestions Put tongs in the kitchen Better plug placement in both bedrooms We got told off by a neighbour for accessing the lake. Apparently we are supposed to walk around. Seems a bit odd considering it’s all owned by the same estate. This and only this put a downer on our break

“Wonderful”
+Location definitely Access to key simple and instructions pre arrival excellent
−Chairs in lounge could be more comfortable Cobwebs in the bathroom Toilet cistern ran on - faulty flush maybe? Very minor points though as we loved the holiday and a great base.

+Quiet location in a traditional building. Adjacent field wonderful for the dogs. Stunning views. Comfortable double bed.
−Use of long untidy extension cables draped everywhere. Bedside lamps difficult to reach switches. One lamp non functional with no switch. Cutting knives blunt! No oven gloves. Non-stick pans past their best. Didn't know Ullswater had a stair access.

“A lovely peaceful stay between Coniston Water and Lake Windermere”
+The accommodation was perfect, and very reasonably priced, for our self-catering needs for a 5-night stay visiting the south lakes area in late June. All communication was done via email with information about our stay being sent in a timely fashion and being very comprehensive. All queries were dealt with very promptly. For a small-ish kitchen it was spacious, although there is no dishwasher, and it was more than adequate for our needs with sufficient utensils, cutlery, crockery and saucepans etc to cook with as we would normally do; there was never any question of having to "make do". Thoughtful "starter" supplies of coffee, tea and milk were provided, as were washing-up liquid, a dishcloth, a scourer, tea towels and kitchen roll. Toiletries were provided in the bathroom. There was always plenty of hot water in both the kitchen and the bathroom. The lounge-diner was "small but perfectly formed" and adequate for 4 people. There is a smart TV and a log burner for guests to use in the colder weather. The bedrooms were of a reasonable size with adequate hanging and drawer space for guests' clothing. The beds were comfortable. Located on the edge of Near Sawrey and overlooking Esthwai
−The bathroom is on the small size, but perfectly appointed and there was always plenty of hot water, however the square shower cubicle is not suited to larger individuals. Shelving for guests to place their toiletries was very limited, likewise somewhere to hang towels as even with just 2 of us, and not the four people that can be accommodated, we had no real means of hanging/drying our towels. There were no coathooks in the entrance area for hanging outdoor clothing, especially necessary when wet weather arrives, as it so frequently does in the Lake District! The directions given from Newby Bridge were not the best as they eventually involved taking a right turn onto a very narrow, single track lane with very limited passing places along the way. Our VW Amarok truck was a very tight fit between the hedgerows on occasions and we had to reverse a considerable distance to allow an oncoming car through. Thereafter we always took the next right turn - a very sharp right, but easily do-able - onto a slightly wider, and shorter, single track lane with more frequent passing places straight up to the accommodation. This was an infinitely better route than the one that had been advised to u

“Great flat in great location”
+The flat was comfortable, clean and well equipped. The location was fantastic. Very quiet in the country side. There is a very nice café 20 minutes walk away right by the lake, the walk is so enjoyable with beautiful views. In the opposite direction, we were less than 5 minutes from Beatrix Potter's House and a pub. We were also a walkable distance from the ferry to Bowness. Ambleside was only 15 minutes drive. The property has a secured field for kids / dogs to play with some picnic tables and lovely views. There also was a laundry room, although we didn't need to use it.

“Nice property, well furnished and good location”
+Nice property, well furnished, good location, however the water in shower was lukewarm so it was a bit of a struggle to wash ourselves and especially our little one (3year old). As we are not the people who are complaining, we didn't but it might be a good idea to fix this issue for next visitors.
