Cleanliness
The cottage is consistently described as spotlessly clean and tidy, with many guests expressing satisfaction with the level of cleanliness. However, a few mentions of mould in the shower and a dirty rug slightly affect the score.

The location is highly praised for its peaceful setting, proximity to the ferry, and beautiful views of the lake. It is considered an ideal base for exploring the Lake District, contributing to a high score.
Comfort
Guests find the property comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed and cosy atmosphere. Some concerns about the heat in the bedroom and the quality of the mattress slightly lower the score.

Thoughtfulness
The welcome hamper is frequently mentioned and appreciated, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. It is important to note that such gifts, while delightful, are not guaranteed for every stay.
