“We had a lovely time at Little Eswaite cottage.”
Although joined onto the main house, we were never aware that we had neighbours. Vernon, the proprietor was very friendly and helpful. He made us feel very welcome and showed us around and how everything worked. The cottage had it's own secure courtyard, which was great not having to worry about the dog escaping, this was inside the pretty well - maintained garden, which has a gate onto a very large secure field, which I used every morning for the dogs first outing.
The cottage had everything you wanted, and although small, was perfect for the two of us and the dog.
The only thing that could be improved was the shower. It was lovely and hot with a good flow of water, but could really do with a screen, instead of the curtain, which was poor and allowed some water to escape onto the floor. Only a minor thing, but something that could do with changing we felt.
It's nicely positioned, not far from Hawkshead and an easy drive to either Coniston or Windermere. Plenty of lovely walks nearby. Also very quiet, although on a B road, you would never know as it is a very quiet road and the cottage is well set back from it, so pretty well total silence - perfect.
To cap it all, the local pub is just 5 minutes walk up the road - a lovely dog friendly atmosphere and good food.
Overall I would recommend this accomodation.
