What our customers say about their holidays

  First off. We really enjoyed our time at Millwood Manor.

  It was the first time in 4 years that my 84 year old mother had seen our children and the reunion was special. The entire group was excited for the stay, and I had shared the listing with them all before we arrived. Overall, the property did not live up to the hype. But again, we all really enjoyed our stay and the house gave us plenty to talk about. Here’s how it could be improved: 1) We arrived in the dark and the house looked grim and forbidding from the outside. A simple photosensitive outside light would have made the first impression so much warmer. 2) The front door has seen many better days and sticks as you try and open it. It requires a big shove and makes a squeal like a banshee. 3) The house was chilly upon arrival. The thermostats were all set to 17C, so the first impression was of cold and damp. 4) Nice touches like the bread, milk, juice and biscuits, plus fire materials won some goodwill back. If the fires had been laid and the ‘welcome’ basket presented as a ‘welcome’ all could have been forgiven. 5) as per the pictures, the house is arresting and quirky. The hall and the main bathroom are the highlights. Having the dead light bulbs replaced in the ceiling lights would have really shown the hall off in all it’s glory. 6) The bedrooms were from a different time - damp patches, on the walls, musty smellsand saggy beds. 7) Location is great, lovely walks through the woods and the wild garlic carpets and bluebells were delightful. 8) Of the three vacuum cleaners in the property only one worked (one made everything dirtier). 9) The house had pretty much everything we needed, save some cleaning clothes. 10) Broadband speeds were in the single digits, but stable. If you need to jump on a Teams call, you might want to bring a Starlink or OneWeb. Basically, this is a lovely, quirky property that could be amazing. It just needs some TLC and and it’s windows cleaned.

  Lovely studio, clean, modern and good facilities.

  The only real let down for me, was the extremely low bedroom roof. We kept banging our heads on the low ceiling points. At 5ft 7, I had to crawl into bed to avoid banging my head, but would inevitably forget at times. The internet was slow at times, due to being on a WiFi extender I think. But no real issue for us as we were out most of the time. Otherwise the location is great, a stones throw away from the beach. Local supermarket a short drive away and access to a range lovely walks via the car otherwise. Edward was really helpful with regards to getting the heating working too, just took a few of hours to warm up. Thank you.

  Can't believe this place doesn't have more positive reviews!

  We had the best Easter as a group of 11 friends staying here. On our way we we worried about it being cold or spooky given it's so big but it was quite the opposite. It was really cosy, there was bread, milk and chocolate left for us and it just feels quite historic/magical. The only downsides was it was lacking a few things like tea towels, kitchen spray/cloths, not enough toilet paper etc. We also couldn't find the washing machine - assuming it was down some stairs from the kitchen that were locked off from the rest of the house. The gate is also very narrow so be cautious if you're driving in a big car or van.

  Myself and 3 friends have recently returned home from our little trip away.

  All I can say is I was completely blown away by how homely, clean and welcoming Crag view cottage is. We asked if we could arrive a little earlier as the F1 was on. Our requested was granted and we walked in to F1 being on both TVs on our arrival, which we all thought was a great touch. The hot tub was a wonderful feature, which is under shelter. We didn't get lucky with the weather but the hot tub took away the weather issues! We will 1000% be booking this cottage again when we return!

  One of the most beautiful properties we've ever stayed in.

  .. Made us feel like we were in a TV period drama... Lovely location close to Dalton-in-Furness and Barrow-in-Furness as well as being a short drive to the Lake District. During our short stay we climbed Scarfell Pike as a family which was less than an hour away. Overall extremely happy and as already mentioned the property and surroundings are very special. The host was also a great communicator and made our entire stay stress free and an overall amazing experience. Thanks very much!!!
