Guests say
Farleton View is a well-equipped cottage in a quiet location with lovely views, offering a homely atmosphere and a well-appointed kitchen. Some guests have noted areas needing improvement, particularly in garden maintenance and general upkeep, but many would happily rebook for its tranquillity and facilities.
Cleanliness has been a significant concern, with reports of a filthy house, overgrown garden, and mould on bed sheets. A strong cooking smell and unclean kitchen drawers were also mentioned, indicating a need for better cleaning practices.
The cottage is in a peaceful cul de sac with good views of the hills and easy access to the lakes. However, the lack of nearby amenities like a village shop or pub has been noted.
Guests have found the house roomy and the location quiet, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, issues with a damp smell, overgrown garden, and harsh towels have affected the overall comfort level.
The property is praised for being well-equipped, particularly the kitchen. Nonetheless, maintenance issues such as difficulty closing doors, an overflowing shower tray, and neglected garden detract from the overall experience.
There is no mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.
