Guests that stayed at this property said
The property generally maintains good cleanliness, though there were isolated incidents of dog urine patches and a freezer issue. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule, as other reviews do not mention cleanliness concerns.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to local pubs, shops, and scenic walks. Its proximity to Windermere and other popular destinations in the Lake District makes it an excellent choice for visitors looking to explore the area.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the setting quiet, contributing to a restful experience. However, some guests mentioned issues with heating and water pressure, which detracted from the overall comfort.
While the kitchen is well-equipped, guests reported several maintenance issues such as problems with hot water, parking difficulties, and challenges with windows and doors. These issues indicate that some facilities require attention.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Just a few disappointing discoveries throughout our stay. On arrival the lounge, landing, rug and mat was showing obvious dog urine patches.We did try to call a number in the information book but there was no answer. Kitchen freezer was completely iced over and was unable to use as drawers wouldn't open. The TV was unwatchable as constantly buffering on every channel.

First, and most important, there are problems with water heating and no adequate information on how to deal with it. Thus while we had a shower on the first morning, we then got no hot water for three more mornings. In our view, the advice should be to use the booster for sixty minutes last thing at night to guarantee sufficient hot water in the mornings. All guests should have this explained! Second, the entry/exit of the car, particularly the exit which must be done in reverse, are quite difficult as mentioned in the details of the property. It's best to have a small car for this and not a medium-sized car as we had.
