  Overall we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and may stay there again in the future.

  That said, when we arrived we were unpleasantly surprised by the amount of cobwebs along the ceiling throughout the house and especially in the bathroom. We also found a lot of kitchen utensils in the drawers that were not properly cleaned. Additionally, the ceiling is rather low for two very average Dutch people (approx. 1.81m tall), but this never really posed a serious problem after we got used to it. I did bump my head a few times on the low beams though. The cottage is very cosy and well-furnished. The kitchen and living room are well-equipped and the bed was fine. We did occasionally hear some noise from upstairs as others have pointed out, but this was comparable to the noise we sometimes hear from our upstairs neighbour in our own flat. Perhaps previous guests had the misfortune of having very noisy upstairs neighbours or the privilege of not living in a flat. All in all, we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and would recommend it to others.

  Place is lovely.

  We also liked the area and the pub nearby. Chesters by the river also had great food and pastries. It’s a nice place to walk around. Very quiet, but ambleside is quite close if you want to go to a town. Only issue that I saw was the property didn’t provide any welcome pack or tea/milk, etc. Bring everything you need because there are no shops near walking distance. I think a small welcome pack would be a good touch by the owners. We always received it other properties and this one was lacking that. Other than that, we had a great stay here. Warning: it does get loud from upstairs and people kept moving furnitures around at night.

  The cottage is beautiful.

  Well equipped and in the perfect location. But I could not recommend it and would not stay again... The noise from the house above was dreadful! They were by no means noisy neighbours, simply a family going about their business. But we could hear everything!! The opening of drawers, tap being turned on, the lid being taken off the kettle. Whilst lying in bed, we could hear their conversation, word for word. It was such a shame as the cottage itself is one of the nicest we have stayed in. But this, sadly, put a real dampner on our holiday.

  This was our third stay at Woodloft.

  My wife has limited mobility so the property ( once she is in the front door) is almost perfect with only one step once inside. We love everything about the property, position, proximity to the Britannia Inn, views from the windows, cleanliness and comfortable bed and furniture. My only criticism would be that the property was very cold on arrival and took several days to warm up, but this would not deter us from booking again.

  A few previous reviews have mentioned noise from the attached property but we didn't find this a problem at all.

  I guess it depends who is staying next door! We found this property very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The shower especially good. The welcome pack is a bit sparse, only enough tea and coffee for a couple of drinks. No fresh milk r a bottle of wine which is provided by other companies! However, on balance, this is a good place to stay and we would use it again.
