Timley Knott

Thank you, we are delighted that Timley Knott gave you everything that you needed. It's a lovely place to relax and its easy access to everything makes a stay very convenient. We hope that the shoes have arrived back with you. Please stay at Timley Knott again shortly.

Thank you very much for taking time to provide feedback. You have hit the three things that we think make Timley Knott a winning location; it's not in the middle of nowhere, but in terms of convenience of location and access it is unbeatable, with walks from the door to the fells, the lake and the village. We have thought carefully about what guests might need so that you can bring as little as possible from home. And of course, the views from the house mean that staying in is a holiday in itself, with the Old Man peeping over the top of the trees from the front of the house and the lovely views of Coniston Water from the living area balcony and upstairs bedroom. We are so glad you enjoyed your holiday and your stay at Timley Knott. Please do come again.

We are delighted that Timley Knott met all of your expectations. It is a really flexible space and provides lots of different places for everyone to be able to find privacy, comfort and nice views. The downstairs bedroom is always popular with its own en-suite shower room, walk in wardrobe, fridge and an outdoor seating area. Glad you tried the local pub(s) - they are all good and they all serve food - there's even a pizzeria in one of them and an Indian restaurant next door to it. Coniston has it all without feeling touristy. Next time why not visit the Ruskin Museum in the village now that Donald Campbell's jet boat Bluebird is in almost permanent residence? Please come and stay again at Timley Knott.

Thank you. We are delighted that you chose to return and that once again Timley Knott met all of your expectations. We hope that you return again soon; we promise that you will find the same well equipped and well maintained home for an easy to enjoy holiday.

Thank you for your lovely comments. We are delighted that Timley Knott met all of your expectations. We agree that the location ticks all of the boxes as you can do so much direct from the door without a car. We hope to see you back soon.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. It is lovely to know that the artwork throughout gave you pleasure - it is certainly eclectic and represents us and the places we have lived. Our apologies for the bin bags etc, this was purely a housekeeping oversight.

Thank you. We aim to provide a faultless and interesting environment for our guests. Glad we hit the mark.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and for your lovely comments in the house book. Clearly Timley Knott was very much to your taste and provided what you needed for your holiday. Apologies for the downstairs Dyson - housekeeping have noted. Housekeeping did check the Henry vacuum cleaner upstairs and found it to be empty and functioning ok. They are not easy to open! Noted about an anti slip mat for the upstairs shower. There is one in the house bathroom for anybody that needs it, but we will duplicate this in the en-suites. The blind in the main bathroom was broken by a previous guest and not reported. A replacement has been ordered. We hope that you will return to Timley Knott for a repeat holiday.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review Timley Knott. We love it as much as you and in particular the views; a rising field at the front (often full of sheep) with the summit of the Old Man in the distance. At the rear over the stream to Coniston Water and the rising ground of Grizedale Forest on the far bank. We never tire of it. Please return again for more adventures.

We are delighted that Timley Knott met your expectations. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms (plus a downstairs loo!) do make for very comfortable living. The downstairs downstairs bedroom is a favourite for many people and certainly opens up possibilities and freedoms with multi-generational groups. We very much hope that you will return for a further visit in the near future.

We are delighted that Timley Knott met your expectations for a comfortable and stylish property. In terms of location, we feel that it hits the sweet spot for most people; easy walking distance to the village, to the lake and to the fells. Please come back very soon.

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed Timley Knott and all that it has to offer. Please do come back soon - you will find the same high quality house and surroundings that you left.

Thank you for this feedback; after all you really had time to road test everything that Timley Knott has to offer. Joanna and I agree that its location is a perfect compromise, with a pub very nearby, a short walk to the village along the old railway line and access to the lake shore and the fells all from the front door. The kitchen has been thought through by somebody who knows what they are doing (Joanna), so we hope that anything reasonably required for a holiday stay will be found there - no need to bring your own bottle opener! We hope very much that we will be able to welcome you back, perhaps for another extended stay.

Thank you. We have taken a lot of time to think through the broad spectrum of requirements of our guests. The bottom line is that each bedroom has a lovely bathroom of its own, the furnishings are comfortable, stylish and interesting and the beds and linen are (for most people) super comfy. We agree that the views are lovely; with the top of the Old Man visible at the front, the sheep and lambs in the large field opposite (at this time of year!) and the clear view of the lake and the rising ground of Grizedale from the windows at the rear. Please come back and continue to explore from our front door.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reward us with this feedback. Our aim is for our guests to enjoy a stress free holiday where everything is on hand so that you can spend your valuable time relaxing. Please book again soon and return when the weather is better so that you can more easily enjoy the enormous number of activities achievable from the doorstep of Timley Knott.

Thank you very much for your lovely feedback. We do our best to keep Timley Knott in tip top condition and to make sure it is equipped appropriately. Such a shame that you have chosen not to publish this feedback as nobody will see it and your score does not count towards our rating. If you are willing or able to change this then that would be very welcome. Feedback like this makes our effort worthwhile. Thank you.

Thank you for this really useful feedback. Sorry about the crockery. We do rely to a certain extent on previous guests to do their bit, but if the dishwasher is at fault we will sort this. Hairdryer likewise. Not seen this before. The mattress in the master (which is v high quality but quite soft) gets contradictory reviews. It's on the plan for a change very soon as on balance people appear to prefer the slightly firmer feel of the other very comfy beds. Yes, we could put the king size bed in the front en-suite, but the singles don't quite fit in the back bedroom. The bedroom does have sole use of the immediately adjacent bathroom - so en-suite in all but name. We think that the lake views from this bedroom and bathroom qualify it as the master, but accept fully that other preferences and priorities are entirely valid. Please do come again and we hope that next time the weather will be kinder.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on Timley Knott and that you enjoyed staying there as much as we do. We aim to provide all our guests with a memorable and comfortable experience.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. It's always good to know that Timley Knott hits the spot for multi-generational groups with their conflicting holiday aspirations. Please come back soon - it gets better and better..

Thank you for your comments. We are delighted that Timley Knott gave you the same buzz that it still gives us. You probably noticed that the disused railway line walking route into the village has just been totally refurbished for an even easier (and flat) experience - no more muddy path! The Ship Inn just 5 minutes walk from the house and accessed safely from the railway line has also just completed a full refurbishment and is getting rave reviews. Please do come back - there is always more to do from the doorstep of Timley Knott.

Thank you for your comments. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at our home.

Thank you for this feedback. Our understanding is that your stay at Timley Knott finished on 26th April so these unexpected negative comments refer to a holiday that finished over three weeks ago. If you had reported the broken fence and anything else,then it would have been repaired immediately during your stay as it was when brought to our attention by others after you had left. The other "hole" under the hedge you refer to can also be blocked if really necessary, but the cottage is not let on the basis of a fully secure dog garden nor should it be; it is for you to control your animal in unfamiliar and exciting new places where inquisitiveness might take over. We apologise for the ten minute wait that clearly was important to you. Changeover days are busy for all housekeeping teams and small margins of error are inevitable both in guests' favour and sometimes not. Welcome packs are a difficult topic. Our view is that people booking a Coniston cottage will arrive with all they need including milk, bread etc. To do otherwise would be folly. We owners appreciate that we are seen as the fatted calf by everyone, but after commission, housekeeping charges and fixed costs you may be surprised to learn that we received less than £50 for each night of your stay; so even with two people that's less than £25 ppn. Please therefore excuse any perceived lack of generosity in not providing your provisions as well. Sadly your review gives no indication at all about whether you actually enjoyed your stay in our home which is a shame. Other reviews are consistently contrary to yours in both tone and score. Sadly we will not now be able to learn why our"comfort" and "facilities" did not meet your expectations.

We are delighted that your extended stay at Timley Knott was such a success. Perhaps you visited the recently fully refurbished Ship Inn as our nearest pub - getting great reviews. We will amend the text for the property to make it clear that logs are not included beyond that starter pack left for you on arrival. Please come again to Timley Knott.

Thank you for your lovely positive feedback about Timley Knott. We think that it is so homely particularly at this time of the year when the days are shorter and the log burner is in use. Please come back and repeat the experience.

Thank you for your positive feedback about Timley Knott. We too think that the location offers multiple opportunities; be it access to the lake shore, the village (via the disused railway line) or to the fells on foot right from the door. We are glad that you found it comfortable and that the high quality bed linen was appreciated. Please come again.

Thank you. We are so glad that you enjoyed yourself. We look forward to welcoming you back again many times.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Timley Knott. We are delighted that you had such a wonderful time. We have designed the house to surprise and delight our guests and to make the accommodation something special rather than just a place to sleep. It sounds like it ticked the boxes for you.

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Timley Knott and that everything was just right for you. Mr and Mrs woodpecker are frequent visitors and usually the garden is full of birds in a way that you so rarely see nowadays. Our housekeepers specially commented on how nicely you had left the house on departure and that everything was in its place. Last Friday was the busiest day of their year so they were extremely grateful. We hope that we can welcome you again soon at Timley Knott.

Thank you for your comments. It is lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We take all comments on board, however, not all properties include welcome packs. The toilet roll provided is meant to serve as a starter for guests. We hope to welcome you again. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your weekend stay so much. The downstairs bedroom is often the favourite as it has ultimate privacy and direct access to its own patio area. It also, of course, has its own ensuite shower room, a fridge, toaster and kettle. It's only fair to remind our guests that there is no direct access to this bedroom from the house as it is accessed by some steps that lead to the back garden.

That's super that you enjoyed Timley Knott so much and thank you for your review. We hope that you also enjoyed the very short walk down to the lake - turn left for the lakeside way into Coniston and turn right through Coniston Hall Campsite for a glorious and flat lakeside walk. The disused railway line also goes the other way to the village of Torver, where you will find the Wilsons Arms pub well known for good food and atmosphere. Torver Deli next door.

We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay at Timley Knott and that it fulfilled your expectations. We too find the convenience of the walk into the village down the old railway line a joy and the two pubs en-route (The Ship and The Sun Inn) an added convenience. Please return.

Thank you for your comments, we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the weather was kind! We hope to welcome you back. The Owner Relations Team.

Thank you. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the convenience of the location with Coniston village a short walk down a disused railway line, a pub (the Ship) 500m away, the lake just a few minutes walk down the hill and with instant access to the fells and the Old Man of Coniston on-foot from the front door. Please come back when the weather is warmer and you can open the doors onto the balcony whilst you eat. It's even better in the sun.

Thank you for our first feedback since we moved to Lakelovers. We have tried to create a really cozy and special place to stay equipped so that you do not have to come laden with things that you would reasonably expect to find in your own home. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Please come back.
