Great location and views of surrounding countryside. The communal areas for living and dining were a good space and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of storage in both bedrooms. Parking directly outside the property for two cars was ideal.
On arrival at the property in the porch area there was a large pile of bird droppings - this did not make the property look or feel appealing as a first impression - this was eventually cleaned after five days of our stay had passed. Cleanliness could be improved within the property also - some crumbs on the side and small bits of rubbish on the floor. Generally the property could do with a little TLC - the bathroom door didn't lock (which when away with friends was not ideal), there was also a substantial rip in the curtains in the twin room and a dent/hole in the wall. These I feel were major issues.
More minor things I would say would improve future stays would be: providing more toilet roll, hand soap and dishwasher tablets as we ran out of these, a bit more information about where to find recycling bins and maybe some information about things to do in the local area and places to eat, Wifi instructions were not up to date/correct which might confuse some people when trying to connect.

I liked how remote it was, off they beaten track. So quiet and just what we needed. The kitchen was well stocked up with all utensils, pots & pans. Beds were comfy as was the sofa. Very cute little cottage with everything we needed. We took our own food shop with us so we didn’t run out of anything. The wash room was just across the courtyard from us, easy and very convenient. We would definitely stay again, so relaxing after a day out walking or visiting other places in the lakes.
I was not keen on was the outdoor furniture, deffo needs new set. The fire place sticks out quite abit, that needs to be pulled back.

We liked the quiet location , and to be able to walk around the village ,and the access to the field
It would have been nice if a welcome complimentary pack was there eg milk and a few other goods , including shower gel/shampoo . A lot of self catering places do provide .
The fireplace seems a bit awkward and protrudes too far into the room , tripped a few times .

We liked the scenic surroundings, convenient cleaning facilities & value for money.
The house itself could do with a bit of an update, I.e. the furniture was a bit worn down, the walls were scuffed, the bathroom lock didn't work and one of the duvets on the single bed was particularly lumpy.

The apartment is spacious and has a great layout such that two friends sharing the apartment don't keep tripping over one another; the main corridor was wide and the whole apartment felt spacious and comfortable.
The facilities here are great with lots of cooking utensils and pots and pans and a good oven. NB it is an induction hob so my moka pot didn't work, but I managed to make my coffee in other ways! Therre are dishwasher tabs, kitchen roll, washing up liquid etc provided, also salt and pepper grinders, which is always appreciated.
The beds are comfortable and the bed linen is great.
The apartment has a lovely terrace seating area with great views across fields towards the lake.
The laundry facilities (washing machines and a tumble dryer) in a separate room on the estate were useful and great that there was no extra charge.
The estate is peaceful and has an excellent location. The pub in Near Sawrey is 5 mins walk and the one in Far Sawrey is a pleasant 15 mins walk. Both serve good food and beer.
We couldn't really work out the heating timing - it seemed to come on an go off at odd times, but it didn't affect us too much.

It was a very pretty place, nice big rooms and plenty of natural light getting in with great views. Comfy sofa too! Just a really nice holiday home in general and great they are pet friendly
Might have just been us, but we were expecting there to maybe be sugar or something like an oil to work with so we werent bringing all of our groceries just for a small trip, especially since there was tea, coffee and some milk sachets, i was aware you could order some but it would have still been inconvenient for all new items. There were some plates and cups from previous guests that were still dirty in the cupboard that we had to give a good clean to, but understandably easy to miss.
It is also a little tricky to drive to but it does add some charm to it for sure.
These issues wouldn't affect my recommendation to visit :)

Location
Would be helpful to provide a few cleaning products, just to keep bathroom & kitchen cleaned also large damp patches on walls need treating.

Stunning views and lovely peaceful area.
Beautiful little terrace for bird watching with a cup of tea / glass of wine.
Clean and tidy apartment.
Clear arrival instructions.
Nicely kept kitchen and good facilities (although note, there's no washing machine).
Property had some essential items like tea, coffee, bin liners, toilet rolls, hand soap etc which was helpful.
Comfy beds and good choice of pillows to suit everyone's preferences!
Shower head was a bit moldy. Shame as the rest of the bathroom was spotless.
The carpets and sofa could do with a clean and freshen up - they made it smell a bit funky.
A small thing, but some new bulbs in the hallway lights would help as the old ones there are very dim.
The main bedroom is really cold even with heating on! It has start of some mold growing on walls (perhaps because its old property and cold room).

de locatie was supermooi met goed uitzicht op de omgeving. Er was genoeg parkeerruimte. De cottage was ook ruim genoeg met een leuk terras. Keuken was volledig uitgerust zelfs met een goed werkende oven.
Jammer dat er helemaal geen contact is geweest met de beheerder/Host.
