"Had a great holiday although the weather wasn't the best."
The property was lovely just as described. The traffic on the main road wasn't noticeable in the daytime and not to intrusive at night. We have booked again which proves how much we enjoyed the holiday. Thanks again John and Nicole.

We were so lucky having the hottest week of the year that we made the most of the access to the lake, which was only about 250 metres down the drive. Would definitely recommend and will book again

"Had a lovely time at this cottage, very well equipped and looked after."
I was wary in regard to reading the reviews about traffic noise, but this did not bother us after a time. Hostess was very friendly and accommodating. However, the bed was initially quite comfy, but after a few nights made you quite sore. Pillows could be softer too. There were some minor issues, cobwebs in areas and the fridge had a few spills not cleaned, the freezer could do with a defrost too, but understand this is not always possible whilst you have lets back to back. Having said all that this did not spoil our stay which was pleasant, made even better by the setting where the cottage is and the access to the private jetty. Would recommend.
We sorry if a few things were missed during the cleaning and we do endeavour ti make sure everything is up to standard. The bed is new , it has only been in the cottage for a month and is a Hypnos hospitality super king size bed also the pillows are a medium softness and new. Property Owner

"Outstanding location and on good bus routes if you dont want to drive everywhere and worry about parking."
But not the high standard of other cottages we have stayed in. There were crumbs on the kitchen floor, in the food cupboard together with a half eaten packet of crisps. There was also food debris on the sofa which we had to brush off. Not good!
We apologise if the packet of crisps was overlooked. We endeavour to ensure that our cottages are as clean as possible Property Owner

Fabulous location and wonderful views. Owner affable and also made us feel very welcome - thank you! Would need to check outdoor lights as one of ours wasn’t working and my wife has limited vision. This caused difficulties in the dark at this time of year. Otherwise very happy which is why I rated it 5 stars.

"We enjoyed a very relaxed and tranquil stay at this property."
It was very clean and comfortable and well equipped. We arrived in the dark early evening and were pleasantly met with a warm cottage. There was very convenient parking which made the quality aspect of our stay. Overall the experience was quality and style and comfort. We definitely felt we as guests were prioritised.
Personally I was in awe of the breathtaking beauty of the views from the private jetty. It was captivating and uplifting.
We are longstanding Lakes visitors. We would definitely consider a return visit.

"What a fantastic little cottage in what can only be described as the perfect location to enjoy The Lake District and switch off on your stay."
Run by the most welcoming and heart warming people you will meet, everything is in the cottage that you will need to enjoy your stay and the surprise of the idyllic private Jetty is something we both cherished and take away happy memories. We will defiantly be staying here again, sooner rather than later.

The private area near the lake was perfect to take a flask down and watch the sunset across the lake.
There is some traffic noise from the road but it didn't bother us as we went March so didn't sit outside the cottage itself, we went down to the lake to sit.
The cottage has everything you need for a perfect stay in the lakes.

"The house is in beautiful grounds and is an ideal little get away setting."
Extremely relaxing location and in a very well situated location in between Windermere, Bowness-on-Windermere and Ambleside. During the summer months I should imagine the use of the lakeside decking area would be absolutely of benefit. It is difficult to imagine the distance of this decking from the house. When we first booked the description of the house led us to believe that this decking was situated directly to the front of the house. The lakeside decking is a short walk down what could be described as a driveway in beautiful surroundings. It is still extremely ideal and I highly recommend a stay. The house was very well equipped for cosy nights in during the autumn evenings.

"We loved the cottage, very friendly owners too and we thoroughly enjoyed the deck on the lake, we thought the cottage provided a perfect base for exploring the area and we would probably go there again."
BUT, we feel that the cottage was not accurately portrayed, it's proximity to the busy A591 provided constant traffic noise, we can understand why this was not mentioned but feel this is disingenuous. ALSO the cottage description gives the impression that the lake side deck is adjacent to the cottage whereas it is a 5 min walk away. This was a surprise to us but in the end not a problem but it could be for some people, so again this amounts to miss-selling by omission.
Thank you very much for your recent feedback! We pride ourselves on advertising with transparency and as such I have updated the description to reflect your feedback. Property Owner
