“Nice quaint cottage with everything we needed.”

Owner helpful and friendly. Convenient situated to plenty of attractions. Would happily stay here again.

“Overall expectations were met, re: facilities, comfort and location.”

However, shower and bath are very old style, therefore not easy to use. But the most unacceptable thing was that the bath and shower cubicle were not cleaned after previous people. Very unhygienic. Somebody 's hair in the bath and on the shower walls... disgusting. Also, would be useful to have a bin in the bathroom. The only one in the house is downstairs, in the kitchen. Apart from that, we had a lovely holiday and comfortable stay there. Nice owner and a bottle of wine in the fridge was appreciated.

“On entering Seaview Cottage (no view of the sea or any water!”

) we were overwhelmed by the smell of damp which was particularly bad in the kitchen/dining room. Unfortunately there was no signal to the TV and the shower room had a cracked tile. Mr Barr acknowledged the issues with the TV and after a few days had a sky dish fitted which solved the problem, he also said he had plans to tank the walls in order to deal with the damp problems. The other issue for us was the constant noise of traffic from the dual carriageway which was within approx 25-50 metres from the property. Due to the gardens location it was difficult to get full use as all equipment for barbecues etc needed to be transported to the garden, including furniture. This could be a really comfortable and charming cottage, which has all the things you need (dishwasher, microwave fridge freezer etc.) but requires a face-lift and some TLC, in a great spot for touring the lakes and surrounding area, unfortunately due to the noisy road and current condition of the cottage we will not return.

“Nice Cottage”

When we arrived at the cottage we was greeted by the owner and he showed us around the house and showed us where everything was and how to use the facilities. It was also really nice of him to leave us a bottle of wine and a small bottle of milk in the fridge and on the living room table a bowl of sweets. The property was clean and tidy and the beds was made up, the double bed was on the hard side and the single beds was comfy. There was plenty of towels and tea towels to use and the kitchen was equipped with toaster, kettle, fridge freezer and dish washer and cutlery and crockery. The front of the cottage opens out onto the street and even though there wasn't designated parking, I had no problems parking in-front of the house. The property was well situated for visiting the south lake district area and within Greenodd near by to local shops, like the pub and a fish and chip shop. We had use of the rear garden the trees have grown and needs a bit of pruning to allow a bit of light in.

“The cottage was lovely, though no Sea View?”

It suited our needs greatly and although it said there was no parking it was great to actually be able to park outside the cottage, although it wasn't allocated parking we had no problem which was very handy as we had two children in tow! The bedding was lovely and clean and aired and there were ample towels. The cottage had some small DIY jobs that needed doing, handles coming off doors, dripping tap but no major problems at all. The garden it should be noted is separate from the cottage which was a little disappointing as part of the reason we chose it was that we hoped for a small garden to let our three year old into. However it didn't detract from the holiday as she enjoyed a good splash in the puddles in the back lane instead! The host was lovely and there to meet us and even agreed to us arriving early so the little ones could get their midday nap. We stayed there to visit the local South Lakes Animal Park over the two days which is fantastic and would highly recommend it. The cottage represented good value for money and we would stay there again.

“Enjoyed a 4 night break at "sea view" in May 2018.”

Although "sea view" is stretching it a little [!!] this delightful three level cottage is well placed for the southern end of the lake district. There was a welcoming bottle of wine in the fridge, sweets in the lounge and tea, coffee, etc. in the kitchen. Nice powerful shower and other facilities made it a real home from home.

- Mr Dunning, May 2018
“The whole cottage was not really clean and not really dirty.”

The shower was not really functional. The mattress of the beds were very used and not comfortable. In the kitchen we found only 4 forks and no glasses for water, only for wine, champagne and beer. The house is next to a heavy used road which we didn’t hear in the evening or night. That was a positive surprise. There were two chairs for children and a lot of family games, such as jigsaws. Infrastructure is good.

- Mrs Langguth, April 2018
“The house was recently renovated and clean.”

We were disappointed that there was no washing machine and the TV barely received three channels and no WiFi too. Sea view is interesting and the location backing into a dual carriageway needs to be clearer.

- Mr Lockie, February 2018
“lovely cottage and owner”

lovely cottage for stay in the south of the lakes, has all you need and is warm and comfortable

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, April 2012
“Lovely cottage”

Sea View cottage was clean and had everything needed to relax. The owners are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The only thing to make this totally complete would be a washing machine. Parking was never an issue and directly outside the cottage. Excellent location and with the Estuary close by great for walking the dog. Locals really friendly and made us feel welcome.

“Cosy cottage with equipt with everything that you would need”

We had a lovely stay in Cumbria and the accomadtion ticked all the boxes for us. We were welcomed with Chilled wine in the fridge, sweets for the children, and other extras that were very useful. The cottage came equiped with everything we would need from washing up liquid to highchairs which with 3 young children made packing a lot easier! The owners have put a lot of thought into making this cottage a really comfortable and relaxing place to stay.

“Excellant Accomodation”

House is lovely, very clean, everything you need is there. The only draw back is the amount of stairs, not recommended for the elderly. It is ideally placed for touring the lake district. Would definately rent again.

- The Scotts, December 2009
“enjoyed the stay.”

On the whole the house was imaculate and a lot of thouhgt had gone into making our stay enjoyable. The only down side was the lack of outside space. The garden was situated across a path and was over looked. The seating in the living room was clean but not that comfortable. Would use this holiday home again.

“Great little cottage”

Just a few lines to say that we stayed here in June, were very lucky to have the best weather of the year and thought the cottage was great. A good local pub, excellent fish & chips on the doorstep and a real character cottage! There's no sea view though, times have changed in Greenodd! this didn't bother us at all but if you really do need a sea view then look elsewhere. Otherwise, I can't fault the place.

About the location

GREENODD

Ulverston 4 miles; Coniston 11 miles.

The small village of Greenodd rests on the estuary of the River Leven, within the Crake Valley, on the borders of the Lake District National Park. Once an 18th century shipbuilding centre and a significant commercial port, exporting locally quarried limestone, gunpowder and copper, Greenodd today is effectively a cul-de-sac with a selection of shops and a local pub, The Ship, which provides a visible link to the village’s history. The ancient market town of Ulverston is just 4 miles away, famous for its street markets and festivals, and boasts a wide range of shops, pubs and leisure facilities. It is also home to the only Laurel and Hardy museum in the world. This is a great location for a walking holiday and all the attractions of the National Park are within easy reach, including Coniston and Windermere, as is the beautiful Furness Coast with its golden beaches and good birdwatching opportunities. An ideal location for enjoying fantastic coastal and countryside pursuits.
