“Comfortable and well stocked accomodation”

Party of 7 women stayed here for annual Xmas reunion weekend where we cook a full Christmas dinner and really mark the start of the festive season. Place was spotlessly clean with very comfortable bedrooms and a well stocked kitchen thank you. Plenty of parking, hot water, living space and en suites. A couple of suggestions for the owner- we would have appreciated at least one indoor light switched on at the barn to welcome us. Arriving after dark after a 4 hour journey and driving round ...

Party of 7 women stayed here for annual Xmas reunion weekend where we cook a full Christmas dinner and really mark the start of the festive season. Place was spotlessly clean with very comfortable bedrooms and a well stocked kitchen thank you. Plenty of parking, hot water, living space and en suites. A couple of suggestions for the owner- we would have appreciated at least one indoor light switched on at the barn to welcome us. Arriving after dark after a 4 hour journey and driving round very remote country lanes was challenging enough without arriving to the property in pitch darkness. Also, guests would really benefit from a small welcome pack on arrival- even just a bottle of milk would have been nice whilst waiting for supermarket delivery. Apart from this, a good base to explore The Lakes.

“The property was as described.”

little disappointed that a property in this price range did not have complimentary toiletries and a welcome pack. the beds were comfy and the three en suites were of a good quality although the en suite on the ground floor was a bit tight. this property is not for the disabled or anyone with mobility problems. we enjoyed our short stay and would highly recommend the property for a family or couples who like to be 'away from it all' we would book this property again when we are in the area which of course is stunning.

“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 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.

“Amazing cottage with beautiful views.”

The children loved the field to play in. The accommodation was much better than we expected and everything was perfect.

“A lovely location and good facilities.”

Dusty, the dog, particularly appreciated the under-floor heating and didn't want to leave.

“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!

Staveley Mill Yard is a former wood turning mill at the heart of the village, which is now a thriving tourist attraction with cycle hire and outdoor shops, artisan bakery, brewery and the renowned Wilf's Cafe. This complements the excellent range of amenities in the village, which include a variety of shops, two village pubs, craft shops, a children's playground, a regular bus service and a railway station. Close by, the bustling towns of Kendal, Windermere, Bowness and Ambleside are popular with visitors, providing a range of amenities to suit all tastes. Lake Windermere offers boat trips, including a ferry to the Lakeside Aquarium and Grizedale Forest Park.
