Lapwing Cottage Reviews

Jacqueline

It is a lovely place and we would stay again. The cottage itself is lovely too but the sofa and chair are really not comfortable at all and there are little things that need doing now wear and tear of renting I expect. The shower downstairs is great!!!!

We had a lovely stay at Lapwing Cottage. Very clean. Missing some storage especially in bathroom, some simple shelving wouldn't go a miss. Outside maintenance would be my personal objective, simple weeding and general appearance would make this a 5 cottage very quickly. Thank you for a lovely week.

Alexis

Had a week holiday. The hot tub is a nice touch. Biggest issue was the dogs barking much of the night. Meant I slept badly all week. Too hot to keep windows closed but with them open the barking woke me up a lot.

Gerald

Lovely spot, very nicely modernised cottage. Farm dogs barking until after dark and again early morning were a bit intrusive. could do with toilet roll holders and a broom to tidy with. Also ensuite could do with a shelf for toothbrush. Overall though very nice stay. Thanks for being tolerant of our early check in as my husband was poorly. Internet wasn't working at all but no huge loss.

Michael

Lapwing Cottage overall could be 1010, the location, views, hot tub and general layout are all excellent, however several things some of which are common in lots of reviews of this property let it down, although didnt spoil our stay there No shelfcupboards in bathrooms to put toiletries code for keysafe not included in prearrival email contacted owner on provided telephone number 48hrs prearrival and also on arrival went to answerphone both times, and no callback. Luckily the owner was in at the big farmhouse when we arrived, otherwise no idea how we would have got in to the cottage! No BBQ Sykes and owners websites both say there is one No book with info No basic essentials in kitchen washing up stuff, dishwasher tablets etc Needs a good spring clean website states WiFi is intermittent in fact it is nonexistent and no info anyway about network namepassword even if there was WiFi when it rains, the water leaks through the ceiling above the door to the garden from the living room. It is a shame really, as mostly those are minor points and could be easily rectified given that some are mentioned by a number of people over the last couple of years in reviews, surprising that the owner hasnt reacted to the feedback. As I said, overall it is a lovely cottage, and we enjoyed our stay there

Property as expected but no homely touches 0nly 1 tea cloth no dish cloth no ... Property as expected but no homely touches 0nly 1 tea cloth no dish cloth no local information no visitors book iron but no ironing board no hoover so couldn't clean the place before leaving

We had a lovely, enjoyable & peaceful week away from home.

Sheila

My family had an excellent stay and are already looking to book up again in the new year would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Joanne

Lovely cottage with amazing views just lacking minor accessories like a shelf in the bathroom for toiletries and a loo roll holder.

Just back from 4 nights at lapwing cottage loved it. very relaxing, a great view from the back door and hot tub! the cottage is deceptively spacious and equipped with everything we could have possibly needed and more. We were a group of 6 and a dog spanning 3 generations we all enjoyed our stay equally. well worth a visit and great value for money.

Lesley

The cottage was not really prepared for holiday guests, about 10 coat hangers for 6 peolple, bbq not present so we had to go and but one, no ironing board, no toilet roll holders, no hooks for towels, no shelves in the bathrooms or small cupboards to put toiletries on, only the floor, no visitors or information guide about the property or surrounding area, no plastic glasses for hot tub, hot tub not ready on arrival, hot tub emptied before 8am on last day, so we were unable to use before we left which caused upset to my father who has alzheimer's and wanted to go in. Worse cottage for holiday guests we have ever stayed in.

Annabell

We arrived at the cottage and it was dirty in the rooms. Looked like it hadnt been cleaned. Utensils from the kitchen wasnt available missing basic items like small knives etc. No dustpan and brush to sweep or hoover. Dogs outside were barking through the night a lot. Kept in a kennel. No ironing board or maiden to dry clothes or washing line. Dishwasher needed salt and rinse aid

Maybe just slightly comfier beds and maybe fans at this time of year it was very warm.

Lovely cottage in a lovely setting. Had a great relaxing stay.

Murray

Fabulous experience We will be back

We loved this place so pretty, great views and close by walks. The place was immaculate! Only other thing I think others should know is if you're a light sleeper this may not be the best place for you, there are a number of dogs on the farm and they bark a lot through the night, it was the only downside to our stay.

Jonathan

We had an absolutely fabulous time at this cottage. All the negative feedback we read was a lot of nonsense. These cottages would be fantastic to take kids along to as they wander around and see the farm animals. The little pigs were very funny to watch running over the hill towards us. The Jacuzzi was very clean, the cottage was immaculate, the view was spectacular, the road going up was a farm road so not sure why people complained and there was a proper tar road as an alternative so no issues. Communication from the owner was fantastic and the farmer was very friendly and helpful as well. There was a great beach a few minutes down the road at Rockcliffe which was great for the dogs to run about on. There was also a lovely walk in 7stanes forest. All in all, a fantastic break away with my wife and 2 dogs and will certainly be back.

Excellent cottage, well presented and clean. Location is perfect road leading to the cottages could do with a bit of maintenance and gives amazing views from the hot tub. The cottage has all amenities but lacked things like condiments etc, but was not a massive issue. Again not a major issue but there was very little information on the cottage or the area, usually see a guest information folder, this resulted in the heating in the cottage being on a strange timer through the night. WiFi was non existent this is mentioned on the information page as it seems the internet router was offline for the whole weekend, again this was not an issue. Overall a brilliant stay at the cottage with just a few minor things that could be improved.

Richard

Quiet location, even with all the cottages around. Great outlook across the fields and water to the villages beyond. Cottage very comfortable for short break stay but would certainly benefit from having Wifi. Enjoyed the hot tub.

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...
