Garth Cottage is set in a beautiful, tranquil location ideal for exploring the Lake District, with comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciated the peaceful surroundings, good shower, and responsive communication from hosts. While the property is generally cosy and relaxing, some areas would benefit from maintenance and a refresh, particularly outside and in the bathroom. Parking can be a little tricky, and the TV and some facilities may require patience to use. Overall, the cottage offers a pleasant stay with great access to local walks and attractions.
Guests found the cottage generally clean and comfortable, but noted issues such as weeds outside, sticky crockery, a damp smell in some areas, and a need for some TLC. Some maintenance issues affected the overall impression of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its beauty, tranquillity, and proximity to walks, Windermere, Coniston, and local attractions. Some guests noted limited local amenities, but overall the setting is a major highlight.
The bed is repeatedly described as very comfortable, and the cottage is warm and relaxing. Some guests mentioned noise from upstairs and a small bathroom, but overall comfort is a strong point.
The kitchen is well equipped and the shower is good, but guests reported issues with the TV, loose bathroom fittings, lack of wine glasses, and some maintenance needs. Parking can be challenging for two cars.
Guests appreciated a welcome pack with wine and biscuits, though such gifts are not guaranteed. Communication with hosts was prompt and helpful, and small touches like a jigsaw were enjoyed.

SUMP pump toilet warning
Only toilet paper to go into the toilet. This is very important as the Sump Pump has broken previously due to flushing wet wipes etc. If this happens again we risk a raw sewage overflow.
There is a notice that has always been in place about this.
Suitable for up to 2 pets

With some improvements this could be classed as luxury which would not take much

Comfortable and warm with well equipped kitchen. It was a nice apartment to relax in. The TV was fully functional once the menu had been understood, however reception was at times poor. Ceiling needed re papering.
Confirmed Guest
In a lovely area. Well equipped lovely comfortable bed Just needs a bit of a refresh especially out side weeds on steps and large paint spill down the house wall. A bit of TLC would do the trick
