About this cottage rental

Situated in a quieter part of the Lake District with easy access to the south and western Lakes and Solway Coast, this cottage is an ideal family holiday cottage at any time of year with a garden for relaxing in on sunny days and a cosy open fire for winter evenings.
The picturesque village of Great Urswick is awash with history from the hill fort to the ancient village church. The village tarn provides the perfect place for lazy days spent picnicking or fishing. Walks over Birkrigg common are accessible from the village and will reward you with panoramic views over the Furness Peninsula, Morecombe Bay and the fells of the nearby Lake District. Just three miles from the village is the traditional market town of Ulverston, famed for its diverse range of festivals throughout the year. The pretty cobbled streets are littered with specialist shops, cosy pubs, traditional markets and cultured hotspots. South Lakes Wild Animal Park is only a short drive from Oronsay, here you can hand feed giraffes and walk amongst wallabies, kangaroos and lemurs.

Oronsay has been delightfully refurbished, blending modern design with the irreplaceable charm of old exposed beams, pretty latched doors and traditional fireplaces. Cosy nights can be spent dining in front of the open fire or in the warmer months enjoy a glass of wine alfresco in the quaint garden.

Great location for exploring all the Lake District. Internet access was the only challenge but the cottage was clean and well cared for with a well stocked kitchen for cooking. Off the street so very quiet and the hostess sent out a comprehensive list of places to go and things to see. We would definitely stay there again if available.

This cottage is perfect for a relaxing break or holiday close to the Lakes. Very well maintained with a private and pretty garden. Linen and bedding are a bit tired, perhaps the owners would consider renewing them at some point. Although toilet rolls and handwash were supposed to be supplied, there was none, which we assumed was an oversight. However, I would recommend this accommodation and I would stay tere again if I needed to stay in the area.

Communication with the host was problematic, frustrating & frankly futile. The host was disorganised, seemingly confusing our booking with another prior to our arrival and failed to update me as promised prior to our arrival. But the biggest issue was that the property was not cleaned prior to our arrival after the last guests left the same day we arrived. You can't contact anyone there as there is no phone signal but the cleaning company arrived the day after we did. I was told by the host the error was the cleaning company's, but it was the hosts response which has been appalling. She acknowledged it was a mistake and that it had happened before and offered to pay compensation to remedy this. Despite this promise she has failed to do so. I would not recommend this place because of our experience, nor would I recommend Vrbo who have been worse than useless in trying to resolve this matter. Both parties lack any integrity and neither care in the slightest about the customer's experience. I will never use Vrbo again, read the reviews out there before booking with them.
