"Very tidy nice property."
Great location. It was very warm inside. Did expect more garden from the description, not just a patio next to the road.

"This is the 1st time we have stayed in Gowan Cottage, we have stayed in Bobbin, Millrace cottage."
We like all of them but Gowan Cottage is our favourite out of the 3 of them. It is a really lovely comfortable homely cottage. We like the area around Ings as there are some lovely walks. We have already rebooked for next year for a week in Gowan Cottage.
We have a dog Molly she likes it here yes there is no garden for her but it is not an issue for us, there is a pub down the lane which serves food, the farm-shop sells fresh meats, pies and local goods is worth a visit. It is also good if you want to leave your car you can as the bus stop is on the main road we have used this to go to Keswick, Grasmere, Windermere and Ambleside.
If you want a nice quiet location just outside Windermere this is area to look into.

"Nice and comfy cottage, we really enjoyed our stay."
A few more glasses in the kitchen could do with being added also the description in the listing wasn’t clear that there was no secure area for dogs. Also the hot water wasn’t very hot and if needing a bath a few kettle loads was needed. All in all it was a very enjoyable stay and I would highly recommend to friends and family.

"Total incompetence in sorting a problem out."
Basic problem seems to be a call centre/local office/owner communication

"We had a really relaxed time."
Thank you so much. The location is perfect,- quiet and very beautiful amidst fields and near a farmhouse/cafe/butchers. Not far from Bowness, Ambleside and other great spots The cottage is very cosy and homely - only few issues regarding cleanliness-sticky dinner table, dirty high chair( underside of the table was disgusting) and the oven had not been cleaned.
