The Old Post House at Low Stott Park

We had a very pleasant stay – the cottage is in a great location, well maintained, and made for a really comfortable base.

The only thing that would have improved our experience was a little more attention to the small details. Essentials like milk, salt/pepper, oil, and washing-up liquid were either missing or almost empty when we arrived. A few of those touches would have made the stay a 10/10. Overall though, a lovely place that we’d happily recommend.

We had a lovely time at The Old Post House, everything had been thought about - a definite home from home.

Great base to explore from and a lovely place to return to at the end of the day for a relaxing evening.

Lovely accommodation for our family holiday, a real home-from-home and a perfect base from which to explore the many nearby attractions and the beautiful area.

Would highly recommend.

Pro's - Peaceful setting - Decent size property and garden (albeit half is on a steep slope) - Mostly comfortable bed and lounge.

- House temperature was good. Con's - No terrestrial TV (not in description), and so you need to take all logon details for Streaming i.e. BBC Iplayer, ITVX etc. (don't forget to sign out again before you leave) - Description said 'french doors onto patio - it isn't, and so no way to know if the dog is ok or wants to come in. - It said Lakeside hotel and bar is 'a couple of minutes' walk - more like 15 mins, partly on a tricky road. BTW the main oven doesn't seem to work, and a wall shaving mirror in the bathroom would be good.

We booked the cottage from Saturday to Thursday but for personal reasons we were only able to arrive on Sunday late afternoon.

We found the cottage cold, only 12 C degrees because the boiler was faulty therefore no hot water also. I have managed to call the emergency number found on the app. Within 2 hours a maintenance guy came, he could not fix the boiler but he gave us two electric heaters and turn on the water tank in the loft which supplied us with hot water, but took 3-4 hours to heat up which meant we could not take hot shower that night either. I am glad he came quickly but we still had to drive out in the evening to buy wood to able to fire up the wood burner. Two electric heathers would only heat up upstairs sufficiently. The situation was far from ideal with two elderly people and a 4 month old baby. Next morning (Monday) maintenance team called that someone will come that day to fix the boiler at some point. We were out all day, when we arrived around 6pm looked like noone has been to check. Next morning (Tuesday) when I called the maintenance team for update they said that someone was there yesterday but now waiting for a part to be able to fix the boiler. But noone updated us with this information I had to chase. I also asked them to supply us with more electric heater and wood, as that point we already spent almost £50 on fire wood. That day we received plenty of wood and another heater, which was great but to be honest it should have happened automatically on that day when they found out that the boiler can not be fixed instantly, and not me chasing for it. Eventually we were okay after wood and another heater supplied. The boiler engineer arrived on Wednesday evening (our last night) but he still could not fix the boiler. The area and the cottage was amazing otherwise. The cleanliness was not perfect , the living room had dog hair everywhere especially on the cushions and sofas, we took our dogs too but we don't let them sit on furniture at home either but at least it should have been hoovered. Other thing, it was left 1 dishwasher tablet for us, no salt , no oil or sugar no kitchen foil. 1 bin bag ( even though Tuesday was bin collection day , so we had nothing to use after Tuesday, washing up liquid bottle under the sink was empty. 3 rolls of toilet paper for 6 of us to last for 4 nights/5 days? Were we supposed to arrive with all those? So we had to buy those. I feel that all this could have been avoided if someone comes from maintenance team to check the property before the next let to avoid everyone's disappointment. If not this our stay would have scored 10 out of 10. Thank you

The property is lovely and very comfortable.

It is very bright and excellent value for money in a fantastic picturesque location. The garden is not fully enclosed, so bear this in mind if taking your dog. Theres a need for additional storage in the bedrooms for clothes and I think a more comfortable cot needs to be provided. The mattress is very thin in the travel cot so our baby had to co sleep for the week as she was waking frequently in the cot. However these are all minor issues and overall we had a wonderful week. We had a mouse issue that was very quickly rectified by the owner and the maintenance company. I would have given a 4/5 score if we'd not had this issue as it was difficult to feel comfortable for a few days, but knowing how quickly it was sorted, it wouldn't stop me from returning.

The old post house is a splendid and tranquil place to stay.

Very well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed a super break in the south lakes.

The only thing that needed replaced is the Toilet Seat in Bathroom .

Not stable, moves about.

A wonderful cottage and a wonderful honeymoon!

One slight niggle, it was advertised as having a washing machine and tumble drier, but there was no tumble drier which caused us a couple of issues as we had 2 young children. However, we still had a great time and would happily stay there again. Didn't want to come home!

Lovely cottage in a great location with lots to do in the area.

Beds very comfortable and we all slept very well. We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed dinner in the garden most evenings. Very good powerful shower over the bath. We all really enjoyed our week here. Many thanks.

What a lovely place to stay everything you need is there except food obviously lovely walks near by not far to the lakes would definitely go again

A lovely place to stay, we miss it already.

The property was immaculate and so welcoming. Bed was surprisingly comfortable for a holiday let. Already planning to return next year.

There were no instructions on how to turn the heating on .

We managed to figure out the underfloor hearing but not the radiators upstairs so it was a bit cold upstairs. There were no logs for the fire in the front room either .

Lovely location on the quieter side of Lake Windermere, fantastic for walks and exploring.

Garden is lovely but not enclosed so if taking a dog it’s something to be mindful of. House is well equipped and comfortable, has everything you would need. Really enjoyed our time at the Old Post House

Thank you very much for a lovely stay, you're property is well equipped, comfortable and homely, it had everything we needed minus a recycling bin.

My group and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you and would definitely comeback again. I hope everything was left to your satisfactory. Kind regards, Joshua Checkley.

Perfect base and lovely house.

Recommend High Dam walk from the house, a hidden gem. Sad to be leaving.

Lovely to be back in the Lake District.

Interesting walks and cycle rides on the doorstep. Very interesting tour of the Bobbin Mill too.

The Lake District is so stunning and we've had a briliant time celebrating the coronation weekend.

Highly recommend The Drunken Duck for lunch! Thank you.

Lovely stay at this part of The Lakes.

Would recommend High Dam and Gummers walks for their stunning views. The cottage was great with a nice garden to walk the dogs.

Perfect location suited 3 kids and a nanny plus exhausted parents!

We had an amazing time.

The walks in the woods are enjoyable; really loved travelling with cruises and trains plus seeing the aquarium. We hope we can come back!! Thank you.

A lovely house for a stay in the Lakes.

We were having a family holiday and it was a perfect place to relax. What a beautiful house in a perfect location. Our puppy enjoyed his first holiday, especially the amazing garden. Thank you. x

Loved staying here, it was perfect for our needs.

Loved the well equipped kitchen, cosy living room and fire. Garden very pretty. Walked to High Dam Tarn - tough walk but worth it for the views. Very good base for local towns.
