This was our third visit to this cottage. Phone calls to the owner to request an extended stay were completely ignored. Helpful holiday cottage contacts confirmed the cottage was available and advised a price which we agreed to pay. We had to pack for departure at 10 am still believing however our extended stay was set up. Having to leave at 1Read more0 with no word we received a call to say we could not stay on as apparently it was inconvenient for the cleaners . We took our business elsewhere. We felt the genuine enquiry was handled very badly. Obviously cleaners come higher up the pecking order than paying customers. Extremely disappointed and soured the end of what had up to that point been very nice Hide

Great accommodation with incredible views, located in a decent area just a short drive from Keswick. The accommodation was not the cleanest upon our arrival with a number of cobwebs and dead flies inside. The cottage management team was not overly helpful during our stay which was disappointing - lacking good customer service. Lots of privacy, occaRead moresional traffic but mostly quiet in the area. Sadly let down by the team that is supposed to be guests point of contact during stays. Hide
