“A very warm and comfortable cottage ...”

A very warm and comfortable cottage surrounded by beautiful scenery. Plenty of interesting walks from the doorstep and all the facilities needed in Staveley.

“One of the upstairs ensuite's smelt ...”

One of the upstairs ensuite's smelt very badly of damp. The beds were very uncomfortable in both the upstairs bedrooms. The kitchen sink was leaking. It was stated that it was within walking distance of Staveley, however this would have been impossible to walk at night back to the house as there were no streetlights, which could have been mentioned in the description. The house was not clean, with cobwebs on the ceiling in the downstairs bathroom and in the living room. The carpet clearly hadn't been hoovered properly as there were dog hairs everywhere. The windows were dirty. It would have been nice if there was a little bar of soap in each bathroom to wash our hands. The downstairs shower tray was cracked.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, very comfortable and everything we needed was to hand. Only draw back was we where too far from the village to stroll in along the dark lanes. Would highly recommend this property and maybe towels be included.

“We've just returned from a weekend ...”

We've just returned from a weekend at Ghyll Bank Byre and it was so good, we've already booked again. The accommodation was clean and with all the amenities you could want. It was quite remote but we knew this when we booked and the walk to and from Staveley is not as daunting as we thought....particularly when we had sampled the wares of the Hawkshead Brewery! Overall a fabulous weekend and we cannot recommend this place highly enough.

“Outstanding,exceeded all expectations.”

This was a last minute change of venue due to problems with our initial choice of accomodation.The wintery weather actually enhanced our visit with views of snow capped peaks in the distance.The underfloor heating creates a pleasantly snug ambience and the overall finish of the interior is outstanding and extremely well finished. I am already contemplating visiting again next year.

“Perfect”

We were absolutely stunned by the beautiful holiday cottage. The bedrooms were incredibly spacious and stylish with ensuite bathrooms to boot. The cottage was ideally situated with panaramic views of the hills. The big family kitchen was a delight to cook in, and the facilities all round were faultless. The cottage was beautifully clean and very high spec. Lovely, friendly owners. Can't wait to book again!
