"The cottage was as described."
However I think a floor plan would be handy. We had a part of 9 here from all ages, it was difficult to organise rooms without a floor plan provided as the bathrooms were need to be pointed out on the top and lower floor for out elderly family member who struggled with the stairs after having dinner in kitcken. The place could have been cleaner with covid. The description could have been clearer as it mentioned a high or cd player and dvds for us to watch, however, these items were removed due to covid but board games that could have been used by anyone were left. We took cds with us but no cd player which was very disappointing, if it was mentioned before hand we would have brought one. Over all with everything being said I had a great holiday and the views from the hot tub were amazing! I'd recommend but not to anyone taking an elderly family member due to toilet and bathroom issues only. The beds were comfy and the sofas. Maybe small cushions for the dining room chairs (slightly uncomfortable after a while). Thank you for a great stay!

"We visited as a family of 8, between 1 year and 53 years, both male and female."
Staying a week, we were lucky enough to have fantastic weather. The house is well situated on a small hill, with super views. The gardens are nice and child friendly. Over all we found the house poorly maintained and it could have been cleaner.
There were lots of cobwebs and the furniture is well worn. The kitchen has been very well used and its well past the stage that it should be upgraded. There was some Engagement confetti beside the TV unit, which I do not think was left there this month. When you sit on the upstairs toilet in the shower room, it slips to the side. General finishes around the showers, sinks and bath have mould and is coming away at parts.
The hot tub or should I say the hot bath, is like other things in the house past its best. Only one jet works, which means its more like a hot bath than a hot tub/spa.
The house is handy for all areas in the south of the Lake District, however, its a bit of a drive to Bowness and Windermere. The description mentions 15 minutes then 25 minutes, which may be achievable as the crow flies. However, on about three occasions the fastest it took us was 40 minutes.

It really was home from home. It had everything you needed. We really appreciated the fresh bunch of flowers in a varse on arrival and the Christmas tree and decorations which made it extra special as we went over Christmas period and new year. The location was fantastic for local walks / runs and there was a pub in walking distance that also serves food. The hot tub was amazing especially after a long walk. The views around the cottage was breath taking. Caint wait to come back.

Perhaps a few extras in the kitchen would be good, no condiments , salt , pepper, sugar etc , no cling film or bags, or kitchen roll remnant which would very helpful.
I did take my own kitchen roll but I do find that most places have these as standard.
Tea and coffee welcome pack very basic indeed, did not include any sugar and were of the standard of pub rooms.
