Great location (once we found it 😂) Lovely big walled grassy area for my dog to explore. Had everything I needed for a week away.

Near Sawery was a lovely little place, nice and quiet, just right for us, the 2 mile walk into Hawkshead was ok! with 50% public footpath and 50% road
The shower was useless, we could only use it for a couple of minutes before the tray filled up with water, we tried to walk the path to the lake but it was too overgrown for us to go any further, very disappointed!

Excellent value for money. The cottage was the perfect size and really clean and cosy, which was lovely to come back to after a day of pretty wet walking. The location was stunning, and made for an amazing birthday staycation!!

Very clean
There was a smell when we arrived , that can only be described as cooking grease or gone off milk.

Location of the property was fantastic. Layout and cleanliness of the home really impressed us and we settled in like we had lived there for years. Grounds were very well kept and convenient for many amenities within the area.
We did need extra towels for our stay which couldn't be accommodated at the time but its something to factor in for next time we come.

Very comfortable little cottage as a base to explore the lakes. It's not immediately close to much but good distance from both ends of Coniston and Windemere and very easy access to the car Ferry. Bike store very handy. There are also a picnic area and a dog exercise area. Hosts are responsive to email queries. Homemade cake box up the road!
There weren't many windows in our cottage - nature of the building I guess, but if a view from your cottage is important maybe choose one of the other units. It also just had a small freezer compartment within the undercounter fridge. A spare (communal) freezer is available in the laundry room.

Living and bedroom were were very comfortable and clean
Shower room was below par. An over all damp smell . Shower cabinet had quite a lot of mould and there was black gunge at bottom of screen door ( which I attempted to clean away ). Beading along edge is floor was cracked and peeling ( at shower ) . These should be part of regular cleaning and maintenance between quests. Television also wasn’t working. Maintenance did come to deal with this the follow morning. He thought previous quests had changed the internet setting. Surely it would be sensible for housekeeping to check that TV is working when they are cleaning after guests check out. Fridge ice box had no door. When I put food into the fridge it began defrosting. I did not touch the thermostat switch. Maintenance had a look and turned the thermostat to a high setting which did stop the defrosting but I’m unsure if this appliance was keeping food at a safe temperature.
