“We’ve visited this property before and our second trip didn’t disappoint.”

Great, comfortable accommodation with plenty of walks on the doorstep.

“+ves Excellent property.”

Roomy And well appointed rooms. Good facilities. -ves Kitchen utensils : some were still dirty. And could with sharper cooking knives. Sign posts to cottages could be clearer. An arrow above the word cottages pointing to them would be useful. At moment only the shop and keepers lodge have arrows. Several of the other visiting families made the same mistake we did and went straight ahead!
Mrs Warner February 2019

“Newlands is a lovely apartment.”

. great lay out & plenty of room for a short break. The facilities are excellent washing machine, dishwasher & access to a tumble dryer exceeded my expectations. Only issues where the crockery/ pans etc where a little grubby in the cupboards & a few chips in the mugs. Overall a superb base for a Lakes holiday.
Mr Hart October 2018

“We have been to these cottages many times and the standard has always been first class.”

However on this visit the outside presentation of the cottages was poor especially the paintwork. The inside of Newlands was in poor condition eg the paintwork was peeling and dirty. The carpets were need of cleaning. There were cup ring marks on the window sills,cob webs in the bedroom and the toilets seats were scratched. There were no complimentary bath products as there has been in the past. It is sad we have to make these remarks but the reason we book with you is because of your previous high standards. We think you should know that our expectations were not met on this occasion and you should know how we feel so you can rectify your standards. Many thanks from Richard Hart and Emma Brigham

“We had a fantastic 3 nights in Newlands.”

It was extremely well equipped and very comfortable. And to have large, fluffy bath towels was an added luxury! Will definitely be coming back again.
Mr Archer April 2018

“Good clean property, great location.”

Great for families. Swimming pool was great but there was too much chlorine, which made kids chest very tight & uncomfortable. Was a shame the walks from place were not described well in the leaflet as hard to follow. Wanted to be able to walk 5km from property.
Mr Wilkinson March 2018

“The living room was very dark after daylight.”

The double mattress was lumpy & generally uncomfortable, & one of the storage heaters failed to store heat so would only work on the booster. Whilst we reported this latter on Sunday, by the time we left on Friday no-one had been to review or fix it. We arrived with the bulb in the main room lamp not working so we bought a new one & replaced it. The hair-dryer was also missing but you rectified this within 24 hours. The cot provided did not have a bassinet level so we needed to bring our own travel cot. On the positive side, the wi-fi worked well (a good thing as there was no mobile reception), there was never any shortage of hot water, the wood-burning stove was highly effective, the pool was a good size & well maintained & all was very quiet & peaceful.
Mr Hames March 2018

“It's the 3rd time in 18 months we have stayed on the estate and in different cottages each time.”

Loved it
Mrs Thomas November 2017

“Poor lighting in the property.”

Problems with condensation, Windows needed paintwork cleaned, if not repainted.
Ms Truong August 2017

“My children(teenagers) were disappointed that the cottage was listed as with Wi-Fi but in reality this was only accessible hanging out of one of the bedroom windows!”

This we felt was misleading in the description and ought really to be amended.

About the location

HAWKSHEAD

Ambleside 4 miles; Kendal 24 miles.

The picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Visitors can wander the wealth of tiny alleyways, thoroughfares, archways and courtyards between the whitewashed 17th century houses. There are many pleasant inns, teashops, guest houses and gift shops in the village, as well as the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which houses an annually changing exhibition of the famous author’s illustrations and stories. The other famous Hawkshead enthusiast, William Wordsworth, attended the Old Grammar School in 1779-87, which still stands today, and you can visit the building where the Lakeland poet developed his love of the form, and even see the desk into which he scratched his name as a small boy! Newby Bridge is ten miles away and offers attractions such as the Aquarium of the Lakes and Windermere Lake Cruises, sailing daily between Ambleside, Bowness and Lakeside. With stunning scenery and numerous attractions within easy touring distance, Hawkshead is in an ideal location at any time of the year.
