“Great cottage in a stunning location, lots of wildlife and nice big garden for the dogs.”
Lovely comfortable bedrooms. Unfortunately let down by some of the communal space, entertainment systems and NO WIFI!! We were 6 adults (this property actually sleeps 12). The dining table, although having chairs for 12, wouldn't comfortably seat more than about 8/10 adults. The lounge area was much smaller than expected, with two sofa's and one chair. Anymore than 6 adults in this room, would have started to feel very cosy..... (also soft furnishing were starting to look and feel very ...
Lovely comfortable bedrooms. Unfortunately let down by some of the communal space, entertainment systems and NO WIFI!! We were 6 adults (this property actually sleeps 12). The dining table, although having chairs for 12, wouldn't comfortably seat more than about 8/10 adults. The lounge area was much smaller than expected, with two sofa's and one chair. Anymore than 6 adults in this room, would have started to feel very cosy..... (also soft furnishing were starting to look and feel very worn - rip in one seat and pet scratches on sofa uprights). The TV is quite dated and the sound kept going up and down throughout, making it very hard to hear programmes and the scart lead from TV to DVD was obviously very old and meant we had to watch our DVD's in black and white, as couldn't get colour on the TV. The property states it has WiFi - it doesn't (born out by other guests comments in visitors book and also staff member who confirmed we'd be really lucky to get it, they've been saying they are going to sort it for about 2 years now!) Laptops logged into router - but no internet connection! We wouldn't have booked this property if we had known there was no WiFi. If you advertise it, it should be provided! Two of our party are self employed and need to be connected at the start and end of each day! This meant instead of walking as a group as planned, two had to go and sit in MacDonalds in Penrith to do work during the day! Not what we'd all gone away for!! And when they did go back to the cottage, it was cold as guests don't seem to have any control over the heating, which was set to go off during the day and not come on until approx. 5pm. Hot tub was lovely, but again guests couldn't control the heat of the water. We have stayed in lots of cottages over the last eight years, this being the most expensive. If the above things were sorted, we would definitely return, as actual house and location was amazing, and we had a good time, despite the above complaints!
