Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently describe the cottage as very clean and immaculate, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is celebrated for its convenience for southern lake exploration and direct access to walking areas like Coniston Old Man, though one guest found the nearby pub's offerings less satisfactory.
The cottage is repeatedly noted for its comfort, with mentions of huge comfortable sofas and comfortable, spacious bedrooms.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and ample space for boots and coats. Suggestions for a slow cooker and the option to convert twin beds into a double are noted.
While the reviews reflect a thoughtful approach to the cottage's amenities, there are no specific mentions of gifts, and therefore it is not possible to score this category.
About this property
Set in the quaint rural village of Torver, Cumbria, lies this charming, three-bedroom holiday home, Ash Gill Cottage. Perfect for families seeking a peaceful escape to the countryside, this property boasts a plethora of tasteful on-site amenities, well-presented living spaces, and terrific positioning within the gorgeous landscape of the Lake District National Park. Inside, the designated chef will be pleased to find a fully-equipped kitchen, where tasty home-cooked meals can be whipped up to be savoured around the dining table or by the warmth of a centrepiece woodburning stove in the plush, living/dining room where you and the family can enjoy a film or two on the stylish Smart TV. In the warmer months, take your meals outside to enjoy alfresco in the furnished rear garden, a great spot for a soothing morning coffee whilst soaking in your tranquil surroundings. In the evenings, treat yourself to an indulgent bath before retiring to one of three inviting bedrooms, including a king with accompanying en-suite shower - an idyllic spot to wash away the day as you prepare for a new one. If you fancy exploring your local surroundings, stock up on supplies at the Torver Deli, grab some traditional pub fare at The Wilsons Arms or enjoy home made cakes, coffees and lunches at Undercrag studio and cafe, - both locations just a stone's throw away from your lodgings.

Location is perfect for accessing from the south, and for exploring the surrounding area. (And being able to access Coniston Old Man directly from the house was the icing on the cake, such a beautiful walk.) Plenty of parking space. Downstairs rooms are good size, with huge comfortable sofas, and well equipped modern kitchen. Plenty of space for boots and for hanging coats. Bedrooms all very comfortable and spacious. Would definitely stay here again if we return to the Coniston area.

The owners have put a lot of thought into what makes an excellent self-catering cottage. It's very well equipped, very comfortable, and extremely homely. Oh, and it was immaculate. 2 little things would be nice, the option to turn one if the twins into a double and a slow cooker to have something ready and warm to come home to after walking in the area. We didn't rate the pub, food was ok, and we thought overpriced and the service was slow but Coniston and Ulverston are only a short drive away for supplies. The location of the cottage is ideal for walks. We are already looking at returning next year.

Had everything we needed. Very clean and comfortable. My only suggestion was some basics in the cupboard such as salt pepper oil sugar. As I wouldn't expect to bring those items.
