We had a lovely week in the Lake District.
Lovely little hamlet, great locals and pub and some nice easy walks on the doorstep ideal for us with a young family. Beautiful views out the back garden across the Lake District too. The cottage was on one floor so no worry about stairs and had lovely garden space for running about in. The cottage had all the facilities we needed and was excellent on this front. As our first time to the Lakes, we will definately be returning. The apartment was good. We were overall pleased with it. Just a few things: The smell of the plug ins was unbelievably overwhelming when we went in. This is more down to our issues than the cottage i suppose, but a little headache inducing. We unplugged it. There was something in the twin beds room that made our daughters allergies flare up. All we know is she was fine when we switched rooms. Again more our issue but brings me to my next point regarding cleanliness which makes me query this. We were told it was cleaned to Covid standards. On first inspection the cottage was genererally clean, but on closer inspection it was a bit dusty in the bathroom, and the white living room rug wasn't particulalry white anymore. Great harbourers of dust. Lastly, the TV or music of the people upstairs was so loud at night. From about 9pm til about 1130 ish. Not great when knackered from a day walking and want to sleep. Again, suppose our luck of the draw in them being here at the same time. Lastly, the cottage grounds are kept lovely. Except it would be useful to know when the gardener with his strimmer and blower are coming over at 6pm-8pm right at our daughters bed time. The gardener was lovely and really understanding and worked promptly. It just would have been good to know he was coming and so late in the day and we would have encouraged our daughter to nap that day rather then have the tired grisly day we had the day after as she went to bed late.

Beautifully decorated and super clean - but this is not a cottage, it is a basement flat.
We would never have booked it if we'd understood that from the description given on the website. The flat is built into the hill beneath the hosts' busy home and the two bedrooms are dark and cold - they did provide a dehumidifier for the damp in one of them and extra blankets which were needed in AUGUST when we visited, though our daughter still had to sleep in her fleece it was so cold. As both bedrooms are partially underground they have very little natural light and only one small window in one wall above head height - which opened at foot level of the hostsâ own garden so we had to keep the blind shut as youâre completely overlooked. Same at the front of the flat where you're eye level with the hub caps of up to 4 vans and cars parked right outside coming and going daily during our visit - until the second week when the hosts asked us to park in the next street so they could resurface the driveway for the next 2 days. Clearly work that had been planned in advance and should have been forewarned when booking. There were positives: lovely shower room, big squishy sofas, really well equipped kitchen and cakes, milk and eggs provided on arrival. Sadly this did not make up for the misleading description which does not make clear that this is a basement flat and there was no privacy or peace and quiet - which was what we really wanted. The hosts did say when we arrived that they had family staying with them but I'm not sure they realise that every footstep, toilet flush and children running up and down goes straight through the ceiling into the flat below. If you are used to people walking around above you and donât mind people walking up and down right outside every window, youâll be fine. We were very disappointed and had we not endured a 400 mile drive to the property would not have stayed after seeing what it really is when we arrived.

Overflowing with charm and character
If you're considering booking The Little Cottage, by all means, do. The pictures and video simply do not do it justice. Perfectly charming and cosy, The Little Cottage an incredible local art collection. It's as if you're staying in a gallery, minus the stuffiness. The owners have clearly poured heart and soul into every detail, and it doesn't go unnoticed. If you're interested in Beatrix Potter, the cottage is also home to a collection of discrete character paraphernalia, from Squirrel Nutkin references sprinkled throughout the house to an endearing selection of character garden sculptures in the back garden. Excellent (and responsive) heating in winter, comfortable beds, and well stocked and appointed kitchen and amenities. The boot room with drying rack is a plus, as is the star gazing-friendly hot tub. Take care with parking if you're in a large vehicle, as parking is tight (for long vehicles) and can take some maneuvering, as with many areas in the Lake District. Otherwise fantastic location close to Ambelside and Grasmere. Take note the owners' recommendations in the welcome book in the cottage--they've many spot-on recommendations for the area. Prompt and clear communication with Dan the owner--we'll be returning!

This was our second visit to Raceside Cottage, and the facilities have improved since last year.
Two new 2 seater sofas and a large screen TV are added facilities. The accommodation is very spacious and it is very well equipped throughout. Beds seem to creak a lot, but they are actually very comfy. The property is always very clean on arrival, and the welcome gift of home baked fresh cream cup cakes from the host, Viv, are delicious. The local pub, the King Billy is still closed for refurbishment, but it is currently set up at nearby Brockwood Hall, a 10 minute drive away, and itâs worth the short drive. Also recommend the Brown Cow and Bridge Inn for meals out. Easy walk down to the local beach via a level farm track, or the short drive to Silecroft (pebble) or Haverigg (sand). You are away from the main tourist traps of the Lake District, but Coniston Water and Muncaster Castle are less than 45 minutes away. Highly recommend a train trip on the Cumbrian Coast line from Millom or Silecroft up to St Bees (10 min walk to large sandy beach). The train line literally hugs the coast for most of the journey (hourly service both ways). As it was our second visit, you can guess we wouldnât have gone back if we didnât like it.

Raceside is an extremely well equipped cottage in a beautiful, quiet location.
The cottage was cleaned to high standard and on arrival the owner had left delicious homemade cakes, milk and eggs. The whole cottage was very comfortable and well maintained. There is a lovely seating area outside, shared use of the owner's garden and ample parking. The beach is a pleasant walk, taking about 20 minutes down quiet tracks. At low tide, the beach is a vast sandy beach with beautiful views of the mountains and you normally have it all to yourself! My dogs absolutely loved it. Silecroft beach is the next beach along, which is a short 5 minutes drive, again it is beautiful sand at low tide, with toilets, cafe and free parking. The cottage is well situated for visiting Wastwater and the high fells, Eskdale and also Coniston is within easy reach. There is a pub, just a couple of minutes walk from the cottage that serves food and the small town of Millom is a 5 minute drive, offering a few shops, pharmacy and takeaways. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. This is my second stay in this cottage and would definitely recommend it for quiet break in stunning surroundings.
