We liked the cottage and the location very much. It was so peaceful, and suited our needs very well as a family. We enjoyed our stay.
Having a dishwasher and washing machine was good. I particularly liked the speed and efficiency of the dishwasher !
|
The bedrooms were fine, except one member of our party found the duvet too heavy.
It would have been good to have a bath mat for the shower rooms as well as the ensuite bathroom.
It would also be nice to have a hand towel in the kitchen as well as the tea towels.
There were no instructions about outside rubbish bins - collection day or what items could be put in a recycling bin. Apart from that everything was fine. |

Beautiful views, delightful cottage. Would stay again. Comments below are minor and didn't take away from our experience. |
Top step of staircase slopes downwards making it quite hazardous and really dangerous for our toddler so I do think the house is unsuitable for young children. Was told there would be washing powder something which was essential for our stay however not enough was provided for even 1 wash. More clothes pegs would be good. Also kitchen floor wasn't very clean, a few dried on onion pieces were stuck to the floor. An outdoor swing would be good. First impression was the house needed a lick of paint outside and the front door needs attention as sticks on the threshold. |

The location was perfect for us as we like somewhere quiet. The enclosed garden was good for our 2 year old granddaughter and we were able to use our barbecue. The beds were comfortable and it was good to have a bathroom for each room as we were a mixed party. The milk and bottle of wine etc was a nice touch and much appreciated. |
Although the accommodation is well furnished and very clean we felt it could do with a lick of paint in the main living areas. There were some minor maintenance issues which didn't spoil our holiday and which were passed onto to the office staff for their information. It was quite warm when we were there - very nice - but we did find the duvets quite heavy for the time of year. A lighter option would have been good. We ended up taking the duvets off altogether and just sleeping under the cover.
The kitchen is well equipped although with the cottage being a distance away from restaurants etc we tended to cook most evenings. We felt some additional items for use in the oven would have been useful e.g., large pan or roasting tin. It was a bit of a juggling act at times finding enough dishes to serve food in when we were cooking for six adults. Minor points that again did not spoil our holiday - and we appreciate that not everyone would be cooking as much as we did. |

Fourth visit now I think so that says it all! Handy for all our family in langdale end and ebberstob to come for breakfasts and dinners; kids want to move here!! |
All looking a little tired in places; carpets/ painting etc; kitchen door surround externally has started to come away. We love the place so none of this really bothers us but not so sure if others would be as forgiving; it is meant to be 5* after all (we think) ..... we, as always, will be back! |

Absolutely loved the house and the location is superb. House is very comfortable, warm and cosy. |
Some of the fittings have become a little worn - for example all the toilets had the tendency to freeze after flushing and continually run water and we had to make sure we half pressed them to stop it. Also some of the armchairs are a little dirty at the back now. |

Everything. We had the best Christmas break ever! Thanks so
Much. We will definitely be returning. As family and friends were on the door step In Troutsdale, Langdale end and Ebberston we always had a house full and the property was really brought back to life!
|
The downstairs toilet or shower may leak slightly...and the. Flush isn't great ? :) |

A very clean and well presented cottage, we loved the location, the peace and quiet was lovely. The ability to sit out and watch the stars at night was amazing. We felt very at home here and will undoubtedly come back again. Many thanks for a lovely stay. |

Wonderful location, beautiful cottage. The furnishings were beautiful in the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs. The garden was amazing and beautifully kept. Lovely, cosy lounge and a nicely fitted kitchen. Wonderful place for a relaxing holiday. Will definitely return as soon as possible. |
Whilst staying at a cottage in the Dales in April it was a rare treat to find all the basic cooking ingredients in the cupboards. This made life so easy as we didn't have to go shopping for basic things. Included were salt, pepper, cooking oils, small bags of flour etc. Also some baking paper to line pans. This may seem very simple but it made such a difference.
Amazed not to find any oven gloves or cooking tongues in the kitchen either.
My last point is about the flies. On arrival the house was full of them especially the kitchen. We had to go out straight away and buy fly spray as none was supplied. I'm thinking it may be worth investing in one of those small electric fly killers for the kitchen especially, as even after using the spray at night the flies were just as abundant the next morning. It did not spoil our stay but we could have managed without them! |
