Very clever conversion, with a lot of thought, loved the 'wavy' edges on the ceiling
Good quality fixtures, NEFF, Bosch, Sheridan, M&S and Dorma
Comfi beds
There was foil and clingfilm also caddy in the shower
No reception at all for mobile phones, but WiFi OK in main living area
Just a shame weather wasn't very kind

"The cottage was lovely, spacious and surrounded by beautiful countryside."
It's location was good - a good base for Ulverston, the Lakes as well as the sea - Bardsea, Walney island etc
The kind hosts were there if you needed them and we were very grateful for the milk and bottle of wine on arrival.

"My wife and I have just spent a week in this country cottage."
It provides easy access to Lakes Windermere and Coniston, surrounded by the breath-taking countryside.
We found the property to be reasonably clean and easy to operate. The furnishings were both comfortable and practical. The open plan living area with three windows provided an airy, well-lit space. The kitchen area had modern appliances, including a halogen hob, an efficient fan assisted oven, a small dishwasher and a washing machine. There was plenty of storage available and the fridge was of sufficient capacity for us. The bedroom was large enough although there was limited storage in drawers and wardrobes. The mattress was rather soft for our liking as were the pillows - it would have been good if there had been the option of having firmer ones. The bathroom was equipped with modern equipment with a particularly powerful shower.
On our arrival there was milk in the fridge with coffee, tea and sugar available. Thank you for the gift of the bottle of wine.
Although there were many positives with this accommodation, we found the amount of kitchen and household consumables rather disappointing. We always bring our own but we are used to being left with sufficient toilet rolls for our stay, together with kitchen roll, cling film, aluminium foil etc. Minor improvements would include a draining rack for washing up, a bath mat for use in the bathroom to prevent slipping, and some shelving for toiletries in the shower and by the sink. We did not make use of the dishwasher as there was insufficient glassware and some cutlery items to do so economically. Just three knives for a maximum capacity of four guests is clearly insufficient. There were areas of the property which would benefit from better cleaning - the blinds could be dusted and we found that the mattress protector was badly stained.
The owners live next door and we met one of our hosts at the start and the end of our stay.
We thank you for your positive feedback & we are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay. In reply to your observations there are 2 large underbed drawers, as mentioned in our welcome letter, plus a 3 drawer bedside unit and storage shelves in the wardrobe. Mattress is new & was described as firm when purchased. 4 Pillows , 2 soft & 2 slightly firmer are supplied in the main bedroom & similar on the twin beds. There is always a new toilet roll supplied. Previously we did supply, foil & clingfilm but as these were repeatedly removed on departure by guests so
we decided to stop supplying them. As the tiles are non-slip in the bathroom we felt it was unnecessary to put a non slip mat in however we do accept that a tray for toiletries in the shower area would be useful so we have installed one & there is ample storage under the bathroom sink. We apologize for there only being 3 wine glasses as this was overlooked as there are normally 4 & there is more than sufficient cutlery for 4 guests. Blinds are dusted every 4 weeks & whilst the mattress protector was discolored in an area it was clean as they are washed after each departure of guests. I would like to thank you for taking the trouble in writing such a detailed report as we really do our utmost to keep the cottage as welcoming as possible and we pride ourselves in its cleanliness as you can see by comments from all our previous guests. Kind regards Loretta & Keith Property Owner

"Absolutely fantastic stay!"
The cottage is gorgeous and super clean. The table was laid and a bottle of
Merlot led tour for us on arrival. The beds are really comfy, the only thing that let it down SLIGHTLY was that it was quite cold in the downstairs bedroom and the heating was locked so I couldn’t put it up at all. That being said I just popped some thicker PJs on and slept like a baby :) the shower is absolutely incredible. It will screech for a couple of seconds when you first turn it on but the water pressure is amazing!! Hosts are lovely too and only a stones throw away if you need any help with anything. Really looking forward to staying here again.

"We booked the Eller Riggs cottage for a short break to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary."
Every aspect of the visit was perfect.
When we arrived, we were greeted with a lovely anniversary card and a bottle of bubbly. The cottage itself was stunning, finished to an exceptional standard with everything we needed.
The location is perfect, just outside Ulverston, far enough out of town to feel remote but close enough for convenience. The scenery was breathtaking and we had amazing views from almost every window.
Loretta and Keith live close by and could not do enough for us, Loretta was even kind enough to take some photos of us to treasure our visit.
We will return to this gem of a location and cannot recommend it highly enough.

"We had a fantastic week at Eller Riggs."
Loretta was the perfect host and recommended some fantastic places to visit when she called to speak with us. Black Combe is definitely worth the climb for a 360 degree view of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The cottage was very cosy, comfortable and welcoming. It had everything we needed. The only slight disappointment was the shower cubicle. The shower itself was fantastic with hot and powerful water. However, the grout was grubby and could do with a little clean. It's a minor point and it didn't detract from our enjoyment. We would definitely recommend a visit.

But why do they ask to leave boots outside? Wet boots makes fo an awful day hiking. I suggest that the owners reconsider this policy.

"We have just returned from spending a week at Eller Riggs Cottage."
The property itself was beautifully presented and had everything we needed. The bottle of wine, milk and tea and coffee were very much appreciated. There were plenty of books, games and videos on hand and lots of leaflets suggesting days out. The property is situated about a mile and a half outside Ulverston which had a good range of shops, cafes and pubs. We visited Barrow, Coniston and Grange and all were a short drive away. We had a lovely seven days relaxation enjoying the cottage inside and the beautiful views outside. Brilliant!
