Quiet amazing views perfect for us to ignore the world
Liked everything just some suggestions
Put tongs in the kitchen

We got told off by a neighbour for accessing the lake. Apparently we are supposed to walk around. Seems a bit odd considering it’s all owned by the same estate. This and only this put a downer on our break
6.0 / 10.0
Location definitely
Access to key simple and instructions pre arrival excellent
Chairs in lounge could be more comfortable
Cobwebs in the bathroom
Toilet cistern ran on - faulty flush maybe?
Very minor points though as we loved the holiday and a great base.

The accommodation was perfect, and very reasonably priced, for our self-catering needs for a 5-night stay visiting the south lakes area in late June. All communication was done via email with information about our stay being sent in a timely fashion and being very comprehensive. All queries were dealt with very promptly.
For a small-ish kitchen it was spacious, although there is no dishwasher, and it was more than adequate for our needs with sufficient utensils, cutlery, crockery and saucepans etc to cook with as we would normally do; there was never any question of having to "make do". Thoughtful "starter" supplies of coffee, tea and milk were provided, as were washing-up liquid, a dishcloth, a scourer, tea towels and kitchen roll. Toiletries were provided in the bathroom. There was always plenty of hot water in both the kitchen and the bathroom.
The lounge-diner was "small but perfectly formed" and adequate for 4 people. There is a smart TV and a log burner for guests to use in the colder weather. The bedrooms were of a reasonable size with adequate hanging and drawer space for guests' clothing. The beds were comfortable.
Located on the edge of Near Sawrey and overlooking Esthwaite Water, the sublime peacefulness of the surroundings was delightful. Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's Lakeland home, was just around the corner, then a little further is Far Sawrey with the Cuckoo Brow Inn for drinks and meals - evening table bookings advised - and a little further along the road is Claife Viewing Station, just before the Windermere ferry across to Bowness.
The bathroom is on the small size, but perfectly appointed and there was always plenty of hot water, however the square shower cubicle is not suited to larger individuals. Shelving for guests to place their toiletries was very limited, likewise somewhere to hang towels as even with just 2 of us, and not the four people that can be accommodated, we had no real means of hanging/drying our towels.
There were no coathooks in the entrance area for hanging outdoor clothing, especially necessary when wet weather arrives, as it so frequently does in the Lake District!
The directions given from Newby Bridge were not the best as they eventually involved taking a right turn onto a very narrow, single track lane with very limited passing places along the way. Our VW Amarok truck was a very tight fit between the hedgerows on occasions and we had to reverse a considerable distance to allow an oncoming car through. Thereafter we always took the next right turn - a very sharp right, but easily do-able - onto a slightly wider, and shorter, single track lane with more frequent passing places straight up to the accommodation. This was an infinitely better route than the one that had been advised to us.

Location surroundings very pleasing.
It was perfect except we had to request a spare toilet paper roll as only one roll was left , and hand soap.

The flat was comfortable, clean and well equipped. The location was fantastic. Very quiet in the country side. There is a very nice café 20 minutes walk away right by the lake, the walk is so enjoyable with beautiful views.
In the opposite direction, we were less than 5 minutes from Beatrix Potter's House and a pub. We were also a walkable distance from the ferry to Bowness. Ambleside was only 15 minutes drive.
The property has a secured field for kids / dogs to play with some picnic tables and lovely views. There also was a laundry room, although we didn't need to use it.

Nice property, well furnished, good location, however the water in shower was lukewarm so it was a bit of a struggle to wash ourselves and especially our little one (3year old). As we are not the people who are complaining, we didn't but it might be a good idea to fix this issue for next visitors.

Perfect for our needs. Wonderful location. So peaceful.
Nothing really. Would book a ground floor property next time. (Very small thing - a tray would be useful to carry things from kitchen to dining table)

Rural location close to one of the lakes and close to Hawkshead. Good facilities in the accommodation. Very comfortable.
Noise insulation to unit below is limited. This did not cause us a significant problem as the family below were not loud..

- nice location
- wonderful views
- overall clean
- very comfortable beds
- property held its heat and was warm and cosy
- in need of a big upgrade such as addressing the grouting in the bathroom, bathroom is unfinished, updating sofa as old and uncomfortable
- no log burning equipment provided (a little starter kit would be nice)
- a little welcome pack would be appreciated such as some milk or sugar for a drink. We were provided with 3 little pots of milk for 4 people

Beautiful property. The shortest approach road directed by Google Maps was a single lane a bit chellenging to reverse when meeting another car, but only occurred twice.

Quite remote, hard to find in the dark.
Sign posting from the road maybe?
Only one bath mat and one hand towel for 4 people.
We didn’t see anyone to ask for more until the end of our stay.
There was no wood for the wood burner, just enough for the first night would have been lovely.

Location, clean, wifi was good.
Its an old building site, it felt a bit like living in the block of flats with neighbours, you can hear everybody around, tv noises from next door.
Bathroom definitely needs some tlc. Turning tap on makes loud noice too.
So if you looking for quiet stay- probably is not for you.
