Just a few points. Two light bulbs were gone so dinning area was darker than normal. Great location but parking not cheep for three day ticket. Toilet seat needs fixed.. bit of a shock when first used with a bit of a wobble. Would definitely go back 👍

This is a lovely cottage situated in a quiet, convenient place for exploring the Lakes. However, I felt it needed a bit of TLC; the entrance/hallway and stairs could do with a coat of paint (preferably a different colour!), and the window frames need attention. The TV didn't always work as the signal was sometimes weak or lacking altogether. I expected to find a folder informing me of good places to shop/eat out, & what to do with rubbish/recyclables on my departure etc. but found nothing. I would book it again, but would hope to see some improvements.
