  • "We love staying at stone cottages very homely and everything you need"

    Reviewed by Deborah13.3Feb 2024

  • "Lovely location - really close to all the shops and amenities."

    Was missing some basic necessities like olive oil, which would have been handy for cooking, and only 2 toilet rolls were provided for the whole week’s stay. The bed was comfortable and the garden was lovely - found the house to be quite dark though.

    !! The cottage was perfect and had everything we needed. It was beautiful! The local village was a 5 minute walk with great amenities We enjoyed a lovely meal at the Eagle and Child. We were lucky with the weather one day so did the Dale's Way walk which was amazing. Close to other places too like Ambleside and Windermere. This was a perfect base and I didn't want to leave. Would highly recommend. It was beautiful

    It was comfortable and well equipped with a secure garden for our dog. The on street parking is first come first served which could be a bit of a problem if you wanted to park your car outside your cottage.

  • "This was a beautiful cottage with every attention to detail."

    The village was fabulous with a butchers, Spar, Post Office, amongst other great independent shops. There is also a train station and you can go as far afield as Glasgow and Edinburgh or London!! There are so many nearby towns, lakesides etc to visit it is a fantastic base for walking too. I would definitely recommend stone cottage and Staveley and would also return for a longer period.

    It was a real home from home, warm and welcoming. It had everything you could possibly need from a comfortable holiday home. It was spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. The village was quiet and peaceful, with local shops, including fish and chips and an excellent bakery. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this lovely holiday cottage. Thank you.

  • "Fabulous holiday - perfect cottage for two and paws, really well equipped, comfy bed, great compact kitchen (Neff oven with a sliding door *swoon*), great additional space with the conservatory (really useful in our wet week and no doubt divine in summer), enclosed and long garden for dogs, good shower and woodburner."

    Staveley itself - amazing holiday base. Nice eateries (More Artisan Cafe and Bakery - divine dishes, cakes, sourdough and coffees; Mr Duffins coffee - roast their own beans, nice slabs of cake and really good coffee; Kimi’s Gelato - divine homemade ice cream, around 10 different flavours; Eagle and Child Pub - proper pub, fire, pub meals - divine cheese pie providing wet-weather comfort food at its finest and has a quiz night); Hawkshead Brewery taproom - great craft beer; Butchers - really good quality; Spa Shop with all the bits you might need; Chippy - again good quality). And most of the above - cafe/bakery, pub, brewery taproom, coffee shop and gelato shop are dog friendly and within 10 minutes of this cottage. As is a giant bike shop (more like a warehouse) full of kit, bikes, clothes etc. Then location… lots of lovely walks nearby - some right from the door, including some easy ones for our creaky legged dog; great location for keen cyclists - full of happy muddy folk in our wet week); has a train station so you can get really easily to Windermere (which has a big Booths) regular buses; good location for exploring that bit further into Grasmere, Ambleside etc. We love Staveley - grabbed our hearts - and this cottage is a perfect base, especially for dog lovers too. Thank you and thanks for the welcome gift of beer and jam - both enjoyed and that jam was so fruity and divine and perfect for the sourdough from More Bakery that I filled my face with all week!

    However the tv was not sited in a position where it could viewed easily. Also the log fire was not made up and ready to light. The best room by far was the conservatory where we ate, read a lot, and enjoyed the garden outlook.

  • "Charming and very well equipped cottage in small village of Staveley, just a few minutes drive from Windermere."

    House is clean and comfortable with a decent sized living and dining area, excellent kitchen with good oven and everything you need for a week self catering. Nice conservatory/sun room at the back. There is a long lawned garden at the rear which our greyhound enjoyed running up and down. Bike storage available in the lockable garden shed although there isn’t much space so you may struggle to fit more than one bike in there (particularly MTBs). Decent sized bedroom with large comfortable bed and plenty of storage/spare bedding. Amazing shower. DVD player advertised on Sykes but not present - not a problem for us but worth considering if the forecast isn’t good! Location wise, Staveley is a great choice for exploring the area. Only ten minutes drive (or 25 min cycle) to Bowness and similar to Kendal. The village has a Spar for essentials and a few cafes, also a large Wheelbase bike shop which is very well stocked. The Hawkshead Brewery is well worth a visit, excellent beer and live music on Sundays. We really enjoyed our week in Staveley and would definitely stay at Stone Cottage again if we return.

  • "We had a lovely holiday in Stone Cottage, Staveley."

    Perfect for a couple and a dog. Enclosed back garden but our skinny cockapoo squeezed through the bars in the gate and visited next door. Fortunately they saw the funny side and we used the bins to make it safe. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable and well placed for the village amenities, brewery, pub and cafes. Lovely walks locally and easy access to the main road to Windermere. Would definitely visit again.

  • "Not as clean as when we stayed last year."

    Crumbs left on worktops, dusty bedroom floor, dirty inside kitchen cupboards. Dog poo left on grass from previous guests. Pillow protectors needed as pillows are stained.

    Thank you for your feedback following your recent stay. We apologise that the cleaning standard wasn't up to it's usual high standard. The property always grades very high on it's cleaning so we will ensure to look into this with the current cleaner. Unfortunately guests don't always pick up after their pets which we do insist on and it seems perhaps previous guests have not done this, sorry that you had to find this. We hope you otherwise had a lovely stay and we can welcome you back again. Property Owner

  • "Listed facilities included WiFi, iPod docking Station and Smart TV."

    We had no WiFi all week so no Smart TV. I emailed you about it on the Thursday but didn't receive a response. There was no iPod docking station. The heating system didn't work properly because of the lack of WiFi. It came on at 3am in the morning on Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings and I couldn't override the system. Even though there was a little postcard on the table saying please enjoy these gifts, there were none there. From the visitor book it seems like they were bottled beers and a jar of jam - so maybe whoever cleans the property decided to help themselves.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide further feedback following your stay at Stone Cottage. We would like to apologise that the plug for the Wi-Fi Router had been inadvertently switched/knocked off prior to your arrival and was easily rectified. We appreciate this will have had an adverse effect on the Smart TV and Hive Heating system, however had you contacted ourselves earlier in the week, we would of course attended to this sooner. We would like to apologise for the confusion surrounding the welcome gifts. Stone Cottage had a stand in cleaner the day of your arrival who was unaware of these items, and we apologise for the oversight on this occasion. We do hope that despite these shortfalls you had an enjoyable time in the Lakes as we hope to welcome you back in the not too distant future. Property Owner

  • "Had a wonderful time at this lovely cottage."

    Arrived just after Storm Arwen to a Village power cut so the toasty wood burner was a godsend! Really well equipped, great modern kitchen - the oven is a fancy Neff one with a retractable door - and great shower. Lovely long garden which is secure for dogs and so nice to have the bright and light conservatory as an extra space too. Staveley is a fantastic base - great for walks, has super local shops (Kimi’s Gelato, Hawkshead Brewery, More Artisan Bakery and Cafe, Mr Duffins roasting their own coffee, proper butchers, Eagle and Child pub with roaring open fire). Really lovely owners too - we were very impressed when they got in touch directly to check we were okay as the power cut was for three days. They were very helpful as were the shops in the Village - we were offered hot water at Kimi’s, the pubs let us charge phones -really friendly place.
