Quirky cottage in the centre of Penrith with a Hot Tub

We loved the location. the upstairs layout is very homely Nice large family size kitchen

We seemed to be struck with a bit of bad timing with our stay resulting in these negatives. A roof tile falling from the roof missing our car by inches. On arrival the door mat was soaked with dog urine We lifted this outside and just thought maybe the cleaner had missed this with it being the mat you wipe your feet on. My 12 year old daughter was staying in the room with the bunk beds after the 1st night she noticed a smell that was progressively getting worse after the second night it was so strong it could be smelt when walking past the room so we removed all of our things out. The mattress had been flipped (bedding and topper was all dry ) But the mattress which was soaking still even on our 2nd night had been dripping into the wood. Whoever staying in here just before us had obvisoly flipped this to try and hide an accident. The cleaners again have not noticed this. I was quite disgusted to think my daughter had been sleeping on top of someone else’s urine! The smell by the time we checked out was absolutely terrible! Our last night was not fun as my daughters were crammed in our room on an air bed that we had to purchase. We called the host about this - he was very friendly and I’m sure he would have helped had it not been New Year’s Day there was nothing to be done but I do think this could have been avoided had the cleaners been more thorough.

Really lovely property and great location, can't recommend this place enough

The indoor log burner at Xmas

The layout that is the only niggle but didn’t affect our very happy stay

Spacious and central to town

Master bedroom bed soo uncomfortable. Traffic outside constantly noisy. No welcome pack of basics to start your stay so had to go straight to shop for milk etc

We were really looking forward to our stay, but unfortunately the property did not meet expectations. The house did not feel or smell clean on arrival, with a damp and musty odour throughout. We found rubbish under the bunk bed, and even a pair of pants and a T-shirt left behind the hot tub. The carpet was grubby, and the upstairs bedroom door handle came off in our hands. The showers had very low water pressure and there were black long hairs inside, which made them unpleasant to use. Some advertised amenities were missing, there was no hairdryer or toiletries, despite these being listed, and we didn’t receive a response when we enquired. The biscuits left out were a nice idea but were out of date. On arrival, the outdoor cushions were left wet outside, despite being asked to put them away after use. I messaged the host after we left to share our disappointed, they responded and said they would speak to the cleaners and come back to us. That was weeks ago and we’ve still not heard. Overall, these issues made the stay disappointing and not up to the standard we expected based on the listing.

We had a few minor issues which were quickly rectified. We would recommend this cottage to anyone staying in Penrith. It is in an excellent location for Penrith or to visit the Lake District.

The only thing that was worrying is access to parking as you are on a busy street. This didn't affect the stay though.

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful area of Penrith
