Snaptrip says

Haystacks is a well-regarded cottage in Cumbria, praised for its stunning views, high-quality finish, and comfortable furnishings. Guests appreciate the property's peaceful location, proximity to local pubs, and scenic walks. While parking is noted as tricky, the overall experience is highly recommended by many who wish to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The majority of guests found Haystacks to be very clean and well-presented, contributing to a comfortable stay. There were isolated mentions of cleanliness issues, such as an unclean oven, but these were few and did not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.

The location of Haystacks is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and accessibility to local attractions and walks. The proximity to pubs and Lake Windermere adds to the appeal, making it an ideal base for exploring the Lake District.

Guests consistently mention the comfort of the beds and the overall cosy atmosphere of the cottage. The property is described as warm and inviting, with a log burner adding to the ambience. A few guests noted issues with heating and noise, but these were not widespread concerns.

Facilities at Haystacks are generally well-regarded, with a fully equipped kitchen and good internet connection. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues, such as problems with heating, lighting, and appliances. The responsiveness of maintenance services varied, affecting the score.

The property owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the provision of a welcome pack and Christmas decorations, which guests found delightful. However, as not all reviews mention gifts and there is no guarantee of such gestures, the score reflects the positive but not universal nature of this aspect.

About this property

Looking for a property with the ‘wow factor’? This is it. Glass balconies, sumptuous bedrooms, luxury bathrooms and a magnificent kitchen are just for starters. Renewable energy powers the underfloor heating and hot water system, and with LED lighting throughout, Haystacks has been designed with the environment in mind.

Two excellent local pubs and a well-stocked local shop are just minutes away, making this property perfect for nights out and meals prepared in its sensational kitchen.

Haystacks is one of a group of three properties, yet with a feeling of total privacy. The large slate hallway leads into a superb kitchen with granite worktops and generous dining area. Bi-fold doors open onto an infinity balcony from where guests can make the most of their stunning location. A glass balustrade takes guests to the gorgeous sitting room. Its wood burning stove, beamed ceiling and welcoming sofas make this the perfect spot for guests to unwind. This room has two further balconies looking out to the lake mountains.

The gorgeous bedrooms don’t disappoint. A super king size room, with mountain views, has an en-suite bathroom with double ended bath and separate shower. The second room enjoys equally wonderful views, a king size bed and its own bathroom with power shower over a designer bath.

With a choice of many great walks from its doorstep, and close proximity to the lively villages of Windermere and Ambleside, Haystacks makes a superb choice for those seeking 21st century comforts in the heart of the Lake District.

The small Lakeland village of Troutbeck can be found between its more famous neighbours Windermere and Ambleside, close by the Kirkstone Pass. A mixture of houses, cottages and farms, the village is scattered along a narrow lane bordered by a drystone wall. Many of these buildings date back to the 17th Century with features such as mullioned windows and heavy cylindrical chimneys and the northern end boasts its own 17th century inn. Close by, the bustling towns of Windermere and Ambleside are popular with visitors, providing a range of amenities to suit all tastes. Lake Windermere offers boat trips, including the lakeside ferry to the Lakeside Aquarium and Grizedale Forest Park. The ‘Windermere Steamboat Museum’ displays a fascinating collection of boats whilst children will enjoy the ‘World of Beatrix Potter’ in Bowness, where technology brings her characters to life. Within easy reach of destinations such as Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains, Troutbeck is ideally situated for exploring all that the region has to offer.
