Could have been cleaner and essentials(kitchen stuff) a bit short or nonexistent.

Easy access in a calm location. The L shaped room was awkward for a couple who was expecting a Futon, but both other rooms were perfect and easy to reorganise for comfort. The complimentary biscuits and milk were appreciated and we only needed one extra toilet roll and some hand soap as the provided ran out. The TV was amazing and had loads of options for me to log into, and the replacement fridge they let us know about prior was honestly better than the built in one - with tonnes of storage space. Super close to the beach but can be very chilly!!!
Although spiders are very likely and unavoidable in a place like this, there were plenty of dead ones in drawers and on display when we arrived that could’ve been cleaned. Cobwebs common. It says there’s a firewood fee in the booking but there were only a couple small logs there when we arrived, but we didn’t mind so much and we didn’t plan on lighting it.

Comfortable, well equipped a home from home.
The only minor point was the shower could have been better although the one there is OK a more powerful one would have been perfect.

Very cosy and homely. Host had good communication. Very quiet. Everything you need and more.
Haverigg is a lovely beach. Muncaster castle is worth a visit. The cafe 5 mins away is good for breakfast. Miliom has a tescos not far away. It's a bit of a drive to everything. The beach at bootle was nice to look at but they use it for the MOD to practice so we didn't go on it.
There's a few things we should have done... like go on the little ratty which we never had time for.
The garden of the cottage was my favourite for having a brew in the morning.
I'm a bit ocd and also clean houses for a living ... so for some people they might not notice....but some attention to detail on the cleaning would probably not go amiss. Especially the kitchen.

A surprisingly spacious and well equipped house. Very traditional inside but we liked that. A bit further out from the main lake district attractions but that has both pros and cons being in a less touristy area. Very competively priced vs alternatives. We would definitely return if revisiting the lakes and would recommend it.
There were some noisy overnight roadworks right outside the property for two nights of our stay. This obviously won't normally be the case for other guests but it would have been better if the host had warned us in advance.
Not a dislike as such but a warning to parents with younger kids that the front door opens directly onto the main road, so be careful.

It was big enough to accommodate everyone, pets were allowed. It has a nice garden for bbq. It is close to the sea. Quite a good location and has a very nice pub 10 mins drive away. Had everything we need and a fire place was nice to have. Parking is very close even though not on the property itself. Easy to find and navigate around. Nice host, very quick to reply to any questions and ready to help if needed.
Not a complaint as it didn’t affect our stay much, but a little outdated in the kitchen. Could do with an update to pots and pans and cutlery. The flies were a bit of an issue, maybe the sticky tape to catch them would be good idea.

Beautiful cottage , had everything you could think of ☺️ looks small from the outside then opens up into a lovely spacious lounge with an open fire so cosy at night . The kitchen is massive with a lovely view of the garden. 3 very good sized bedrooms with plenty of towels. Garden was beautiful and both my dogs loved exploring all the different paths. The village itself is charming and a handy little shop about 2 minutes away. We followed the sign for the beach and had a cracking day exploring the rock pools , highlight was meeting the friendly herd of cows . Grizedale forest was a fabulous walk ( about 45 mins by car) lots to do and explore. We would definitely stay here again thank you for having us x

Very homely cottage nice garden easy to find
Traffic noise with loose manhole cover that rattles no potato masher in with the utensils and the cooker hob should be condemned as it is borderline dangerous and the front door lock is on the verge of breaking.

Olde worlde feel, loads of space, fully stocked kitchen , lovely garden space, comfortable and cosy
Nothing really, just minor niggles like the soap canisters in the shower were empty and there were a few flies in the kitchen when we arrived.

The size, well equipped and comfortable. Close to a good dog walking beach.
Friendly owner who kindly left us some sweet treats , my daughter enjoyed using them for her Easter egg hunt .
The patio area and garden need some work, which I believe the owner is working on. Lots of lovely spring flowers blooming. We enjoyed sitting in the sunshine one evening.

Great location for Scafell Pike/Wastwater. Stayed here with my husband, 2 children, parents & their dog. Plenty of space, comfortable beds no complaints from anyone.
Parking was good just a few metres up the road in the car park.
Not much going on in this village but perfect location for all the tourist attractions.

House was very clean, plenty of extras (biscuits, milk, soap), load of spare blankets, towels etc. Deceptively large, high ceilings and good size rooms. Beds were comfy enough, nice warm duvets. Position near the Byre is great, short walk to the village shop. Great views out the back too, and a nice garden space, though we didn't get to use it in Feb!
It was cold, it's an old house and it was Feb, but yeah, we were cold. The broken (kind of repaired) tiles around the bathroom sink were a risk for kids. The shower was tricky to get to the right temp and super low pressure.

The place is huge so would be good for large groups/families.open fire if you fancy as well as central heating which is a bonus.nice wee garden with sitting out area which was good.met owner who was friendly and new to this I think !! Slowly upgrading and modernising so needs time to do this !!Shower was great .everything you need even if things need updating
Tv could have been bigger.could have been cleaner and bin wasn’t emptied which caused a lot of flies first few days but luckily found glue spray which did help ,and yes now that we have spoken to owner know it has not long been bought but could have been told in advance about a few things that’s need to be done !!

Lovely cottage! We had a really nice stay. We made a couple of trips to the Lake District and to the sea coast, the nature is stunning.
- You can park the car by the Byre cafe, but it would be nice if we had this information beforehand.

It was clean and homely and cosy, little bit dated but we did not mind that at all. Naomi very friendly and responsive, there was no issues with anything working. Absolute pleasure to deal with and very central for most things. We will be back 😁

We had all the facilities at a very reasonable price even though we did our booking just one day prior to the stay. The property was really cosy and well maintained. The host has tried his best to make sure that we had a good time staying there.
