Great layout and all the facilities and amenities you could need
Needs some tlc - several glasses chipped and the kitchen needs some renovation, but those are minor issues- great place to stay

Great location. Nice facilities like great water pressure, utility room and underfloor heating in the bathroom. Nice space, lots of light. Well stocked kitchen.
Unclear about where to put recycling (info pack on arrival would be great.). Kitchen needs sharper cooking knives.

The house was excellent for two couples, airy, light and very clean. Parking was next to the house but very narrow to access. It was fully equipped and in a great location for the town and lake. The park and river over the road were a bonus.
The agency ( Sykes Cottages ) were impersonal and unresponsive. The house had lots of litter outside the front door, over flowing bins and stated that checkout was 09.00am ,not necessary to be so early surely? Booking.com suggested that you could contact the owner to request a different checkout time but Sykes Cottages do not appear to respond to messages through Booking.com. Instead they send out 8 emails with the rules stated and the access codes buried in their long winded emails. I contacted them during the stay about the litter using their system on WhatsApp. The bot said we would be contacted by a customer service member. No contact since. A disappointing first impression seeing the litter. I will look for Sykes Cottages as the agent in future on Booking.com and will go elsewhere.

The living room upstairs and open plan. The spacious utility room..The location opposite the park and convenient to the shops etc. it was a place to relax in with two very comfy settees.
The TV set had very poor sound quality which meant having to use subtitles.

The location of Wrenville is perfect for a number of climbs including Latrigg, Skiddaw, Blencathra and a short 20-25 min walk through the town takes you to Portinscale to access to the marina for watersports. This walk continues to the climb to Catbells. The inverted house layout was perfect for seeing the views of the surrounding hills in the morning.
The house is also a great base to reach nearby places within about half an hour's drive such as Buttermere, Ambleside etc.
Equally it is just a stone's throw from the town centre for access on foot to shops, cafes, restaurants and indoor activities.
The bedrooms face the road and the glazing is not suitable to block out the road traffic noise from Penrith Road which is reasonably busy. This did wake our daughters up early but they did get used to it eventually. It would be beneficial to have better sealed glazing and/or secondary glazing to reduce the noise.

Great location, interesting parking, but good.
Very spacious and comfortable lounge and dining area. Excellent being opposite Fitz Park.
One of the living room table lights, was not working, as was one of the main bedroom bedside locker lights (likely just the bulbs), also only one toilet roll for three adults meant shopping for extra very quickly. Extremely squeaky flooring downstairs. A second toilet downstairs, possibly within the large downstairs utility room would be very useful.

Great location, plenty of space, home from home, great view, comfortable. Missing it already.
Loved everything about it. Not something major but would have topped it off if there was catch up TV or Netflix for movies, nothing better on those winter nights or being out walking all day then settling down for the evening.
Only fault we couldn’t get the electric fire working to make it cosy.

The property itself was nice and the key pick up was efficient. When we reported one problem with the property, the shower door coming of its runners, the agent was round at the house responsively and speedily. However....please see below …..the holiday was about to be completely ruined....
The location was the problem. There was major road works happening right outside the property which were ridiculously noisy from 8am to 5.30pm every day. Thy agent knew about this and claims we were informed but has yet to produce the e mail which informs us of this. I have footage of the road works on my phone which I am happy to send to you as proof of how destructive it was to the enjoyment of the holiday. As they knew it was taking place, they should have made it 100% clear to us as bookers - we paid £442 for four days and nights there and the days were totally ruined. Nobody in their right mind would stay there during the work's undertaking and they must recognise that

The heated bathroom floor and open plan living room were great.
It would have been handy to have some washing powder for the washing machine as we had to buy some just for one wash.

Das schnell erreichbare Zentrum und der nahe Busbahnhof waren toll. Die geräumige Wohnung hat auch bei schlechtem Wetter eine hohe Aufenthaltsqualität. Der Blick auf den Fluss und die Berge ist sehr schön.
Der Verkehrslärm, die kaum zu öffnenden Fenster in Erdgeschoss, der nicht funktionierende Kamin (laut Gästebewertungen wohl schon seit Jahren (!), obwohl er als Ausstattungsmerkmal angegeben wurde) und dass die Wohnung nicht ganz sauber war (lange Haare im Bad, Toastkrümel in der Küche, Fett am Herd und am Backofen).
