"I rate the "accuracy of listing" low, because Sykes only rate this as a 3star property!"
It is absolutely outstanding! What a great place! We have stayed with Sykes a few times now and never been disappointed. However, this property really was above and beyond anywhere we have stayed before. Would love to go back.
The space is huge and very well designed. Downstairs and upstairs wet rooms. The enclosed garden is the size of a small park, which our dog absolutely loved. The kitchen had all the equipment you could want (except perhaps an air fryer). There were so many seats in the place you didn't know where to sit! It's very close to penrith for shopping.
Fully recommended.
Hello William,
Thank you so much for the great review. We hope you can come back. I note your comment about the rating.
All the best, Kate and the team.

"An amazing property in a beautiful situation ."
We could find no fault and were so impressed we have booked a return visit in June . The owners were exceptionally friendly and helpful . They provided a tasty and thoughtful Welcome Pack and many personal touches in and around the property. The garden is lovely and the red squirrels feed outside the kitchen window . We loved everything about Gardeners Bothy . Comfortable bed, efficient showers, lots of storage and light and airy rooms with comfy sofas. To sum up, perfection.

"AMAZING!
The gardeners bothy was superb from start to finish, the surroundings are beautiful and tranquil with stunning wildlife literally on your door step."
The cottage caters for everything, even the bird and red squirrels feeder were continuously topped up and you can sit meters away watching them all feed.
The cottage is super warm and cozy and the fire just adds to the coziness!!
The shared walled garden is great and still offers privacy and a look at the country over the gate where we were regularly greeted by the sheep grazing.
There was a lovely welcome pack on arrival with local produce and the cottage is situated perfectly in the Eastside of the lakes and although in the sticks not far from amenities in either pooley bridge, Penrith or Keswick there are also alot of local pubs dog friendly within walking distance, honestly couldn't pick a better place and will definitely want to go back here when we return, thank you to Kate Alan and the Team.

"Beautiful cosy cottage, beautiful setting."
So peaceful. Loved seeing the red squirrels and the birds. Excellent location for exploring the Northern lakes and visiting family in the Scottish Borders. Cottage was very well presented. So clean and provided everything we needed during our stay. The welcome pack was much appreciated. We will definitely return! Thank you.

"This is a lovely house."
The bedroom is very large with plenty of wardrobes and drawers and the bed very comfortable. Really nice hot showers and quality fittings through out. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Also there is wifi and nice tv set up.
Outside a huge shared garden which the dog loved. The only disappointment for me was the hot tub which seemed like too much effort to light (mind you it was snowing while we were there). A heated hot tub with jets would have make it perfect for us
Hello John,
Thanks for your feedback. Most of our guests enjoy the experience of being outside in the beautiful garden and lighting the burner. Then after a little effort they can enjoy the fruits of their labour. A jet spa requires the use of chemicals. We are trying to be more eco-friendly so don’t use chemicals and electricity to heat the tub. I appreciate it’s not for you.
All the best, Kate.

"Beautiful property in a perfect setting and is an ideal base for the areas we wanted to visit."
The cottage had everything we needed and more. It was lovely to watch the wildlife from the lounge. The host and family were available when we needed, they are genuinely lovely people. Looking forward to returning next year.

"Absolutely fantastic cottage, perfect for us, we were looking for rest and relaxation and we got that in great comfort, as did our dog."
Leaving bird and squirrel food to restock the bird table was the icing on the cake. Perhaps a sheet or book to help identify some of the numerous birds would be a good addition? Other than a little less rain, it really was perfect.
