Guests need to be made aware of the very busy main rd that the property is on ! Also general tidying of the areas outside is required some areas very untidy and tired and looks like a building site with Eris fencing around. Nice cottage inside
This is out 3rd visit, a group of friends using the property for an early festive break. Beautiful location and stunning views across the valley from the hot tub. Bedrooms and property comfortable, the kitchen containing everything you need. Owners are very helpful and reply quickly if you need to ask questions.
We had a fantastic 4 day holiday the house suited the needs of the family 8 adults 2 children and 4 dogs. We enjoyed the hot tub and they have a great selection of games which we played in the evening. The owners were very pleasant. Would definitely recommend.
Caroline
Myself and my family, 9 of us altogether and our 2 little dogs had a fantastic break in your beautiful lodge. Ideal location for visiting the Lakes. Everything was well equipped and the hot tub was an added bonus for us to wind down in the evening after a day out and about. Would definitely recommend this property! Thanks for a fantastic holiday!
House had everything we needed, it was a bonus with the hot tub and views. Garden secure for dogs which was a must for us. Loved the welcome package of tea and coffee etc. Would definitely recommend.

Had a great stay here. Really well equipped with everything we needed and great outside space. Hot tub was brilliant and the cottage itself was very clean and comfortable.
Lovely property, ideal for families, kids and dogs. Very well equipped clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the hot tub. A bit further from Coniston and Windermere than described but didn't spoil a great holiday.
Excellent property, well kitted out. Property stayed warm even when it was 7C outside. Hot tub was excellent, well maintained. Lovely pub nearby 'The Greyhound Inn' would recommend it to anyone staying at the property.
Philip
Nice house and facilities. Excellent communication from the house owners and company.

Lovely cottage would fully recommend and hopefully come back again one day. Good place to see the sights as all within easy access.
Tracey
Lovely cottage lovely view shame about the weather
Cottage was lovely but not suitable for disabled. The stairs were a problem. No taxis so could not go for a drink. More for younger people who really enjoyed it.
We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed exploring an area of Lakes we did not know well before. The cottage was a great space with lots of comfortable bedrooms and the hot tub was one area we particularly enjoyed. The various staircases we a challenge ifelderly or suffering from a disability but a thoroughly enjoyable experience overall. Thanks
Had a great stay here, was ideal for a group of us cannot fault the property or the owners. Hot tub was a bonus, would definitely go again.
Home from home we had a lovely week, would definately go again!
Loads of room, perfect for all of our family needs. We all had a great time even the dogs. Hot tubs views are amazing.

With Covid 19 in mind. The cleanliness could have been better!

Lovely place great views
Excellent location to access the Zoo, the Ravenglass railway and Lake Coniston and Windermere. Views from the hot tub were lovely.
Super... ...... Great cottage, Great weather, Great walks from the door, Great pub just a stroll away, Great location for Coniston activities, Great views from the Jacuzzi.....
Lodge was so clean and tidy everyone was so friendly. A short walk to the local pub fantastic food and so friendly .Only thing is local garage not open till late morning and closes early you just need to make sure you have everything you need.
Joanne
The lodge was really well equipped with everything you could need on a holiday and more, we all really enjoyed it, our only negative was the alarm in the kitchen i believe it was a heat alarm but was located right above the oven so us cooking breakfast each morning triggered it! Very small thing though in an overall really lovely place.
Andrina
We visited as a family of 8, between 1 year and 53 years, both male and female. Staying a week, we were lucky enough to have fantastic weather. The house is well situated on a small hill, with super views. The gardens are nice and child friendly. Over all we found the house poorly maintained and it could have been cleaner. There were lots of cobwebs and the furniture is well worn. The kitchen has been very well used and its well past the stage that it should be upgraded. There was some Engagement confetti beside the TV unit, which I do not think was left there this month. When you sit on the upstairs toilet in the shower room, it slips to the side. General finishes around the showers, sinks and bath have mould and is coming away at parts. The hot tub or should I say the hot bath, is like other things in the house past its best. Only one jet works, which means its more like a hot bath than a hot tubspa. The house is handy for all areas in the south of the Lake District, however, its a bit of a drive to Bowness and Windermere. The description mentions 15 minutes then 25 minutes, which may be achievable as the crow flies. However, on about three occasions the fastest it took us was 40 minutes.
Beautiful location with amazing views. Gardens were lovely and beautifully kept. The cottage was very well equipped had everything you could think of. Hot tub was a lovely touch however only half of the jets worked which was a bit disappointing! Only thing I would recommend a hose outside to wash off the dogs after walks on wet days! Would totally recommend this cottage and we will certainly be back. Thank you so much.

South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 5 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 15 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 17 Miles
Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 17 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 21 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 29 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
