"Mews Cottage is lovely accommodation."
It is warm, clean and well equipped for self-catering. The decor reminds me of staying at a favourite Aunts' house! It is perfectly positioned for Pooley Bridge facilities, but far enough off the main road to be quiet and peaceful. Very convenient for lots of walks, Penrith and Keswick. There are good pubs, and restaurants two minutes away.
Unfortunately the open fire was not available on our visit which was a disappointment. There was an electric fire in the hearth instead. We were anticipating a little open fire on the chilly evenings, but it was not to be.
Also, on the Sykes listing it states space for two cars, this was not correct. It was not a problem, but an inaccurate description of the space available.
Our stay was very restful, although the boiler firing up very noisily at 7.40 every morning proved an excellent alarm call!
On the whole, a good stay in Pooley Bridge.

"Mews cottage is in a great location in the centre of Pooley Bridge and with lovely views over the fields and fells."
It has everything you need, a fully equipped kitchen, sparkling shower, comfy sofa and garden table & chairs. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. We really appreciated the attention to detail, like the sewing kit and walking maps. We felt very welcome and comfortable. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. We had a great stay.

"Mews cottage was a great find right in the middle of Pooley Bridge, everything was to hand and great walks from the village."
The cottage was wonderful with lovely views from bedroom and a courtyard garden.
We had perfect weather as well which was a bonus.
No WiFi but we knew that and were able to pick up emails in the cafe/book store and restaurants.

"Great Location in a quiet cul de sac, very central to Lake, shops & pubs."
Well stocked kitchen with plenty of crockery, pans & cleaning products etc. Overall a nice cottage to stay in.
It would benefit from a new bed. Very soft & squeaky double bed which didn't make for a great nights sleep. Ended up with one of us sleeping in the single bed.
Adding Wi-Fi would make this a better cottage to stay in.
Thank you for your feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We have replaced the bed and also installed WiFi to further enhance the cottage. Property Owner

"We've been coming to the lake district several times a year for over 20 years and how we've missed this hidden gem is a mystery."
Great location, beautifully furnished and well presented Lakeland cottage, peaceful yet in the heart of the village. Hopefully we'll be coming back soon. Not only is this a great cottage to relax in it's location is central for some amazing walks around Ullswater and District it also makes for a good base to tour the north western area of the Lakes taking in Windermere, Coniston and Thirlmere and take in some of the lakes nicest towns such as Keswick, Ulverston and Cockermouth. Whatever you want from a Lakeland holiday you'll find in abundance from this delightful cottage home from home.

"It's hard to put into words how we feel about this cottage and our time at Pooley Bridge."
There is a character and charm about the place which we believe is positively beneficial to one's health. The cottage was perfect in every way, warm, secure and inviting. The owners are wonderful people, close enough should you require anything at all but at the same time they respect your privacy and allow you to enjoy the holiday.
I would recommend Pooley Bridge and in particular Mews Cottage to all, especially if you're wanting some restful and therapeutic time away.
Sincerest thanks.
