• "The cottage was fabulous, light , airy, spacious and comfortable."

  A lovely peaceful location for this well equipped cottage. The gardens are maintained exceptionally well with plenty of outdoor seating. A great find as it’s situated within easy reach of the lakes , local attractions and amenities. We had a fabulous week and will definitely be returning. Had a slight hiccup with the smoke alarm but was immediately sorted. You should be proud of your cottages they are a credit to you

  Warm, comfortable, clean and tidy. Good garden and a quite location along with dwellings. Help on hand if needed. Everything that we needed for our stay was provided. A good base for visiting South Lakes.

  Personally found the sofas a little soft and low but it didn't spoil our enjoyment.

  Spotless, comfortable beds, quiet. Clean tidy grounds around. Lovely bottle of wine left for us to enjoy when we arrived. Highly recommend. No faults whatsoever.

• "Really lovely house."

  There is a weird step in the kitchen down to the living room that you don’t notice if you’re not careful and it was super slippy for some reason! The place would really benefit from a wood burner but the electric radiators kick out some good heat for those cold winter evenings. The way the tv in situated means there is a whole lot of glare from the many windows in the living room. Other than those really minor gripes. The whole place is lovely and a perfect place to relax after a day on the fells :)

• "The apartment was excellent, just as described."

  So is the site. It is wonderfully quiet and isolated. The approach road is narrow but quiet; however it is bumpy and the entrance from the main road was a huge puddle. There is a public footpath round the site but it was impassible.

  Thank you very much for your very informative feedback William, we really do appreciate your thoughts. I'm happy that you enjoyed your holiday. We are in the countryside so the roads can be quite dissimilar. Hopefully, this doesn't deter you from coming to stay with us again, as we would love to welcome you back. Property Owner

• "A very well appointed, spacious cottage in a lovely area."

  Additional cleaning materials available but these were not required as the cottage was spotless. Yes, the roads around are narrow but you get used to them. Lots of places to eat in town. We especially enjoyed the excellent food and friendly service at the tapas restaurant. Newly opened tea shop, Cobblestones, serves delicious cakes and has a laid back, retro vibe. No visit to the area is complete without a visit to the Laurel and Hardy museum- the best £6 I’ve spent in ages.

• "Lovely cottage."

  Very welcoming layout, moreso than the photos which make it look brighter than it is. Suite just a little low and deep for me but that's also a personal thing. Shortage of hanging space in the twin room, although I understand why. Excellent cottage and I can't wait to go back on my own for a quiet few days in spring......in one if the smaller cottages!

• "The only thing that spoilt the holiday was the access road to the cottage ran through a field with cattle grates to keep the animals secure, the field had many sheep and 2 cows."

  On the second day one of the cows started jumping towards my wife as we went for a morning walk. This caused my wife to be afraid to walk from the cottage to the main road. I know it is a rural location , but given the size of cows and the occasional story where they injure walkers, not keeping them in the access field, would avoid such incidents.

  The cottage was spotlessly clean and a pleasure to be in. It had everything we needed and more. Only downside was that downstairs furniture looked great but wasnt comfortable (sofa and dining chairs). Sounds silly but when you've been out walking all day a comfy seat is what we were looking for.

• "Can't really add much more to the glowing feedback I've read about this place already."

  It lived up to all the positive reports and more. The place is immaculate. You wouldn't belive it wasn't decorated this year. It is spotlesly clean. All appliances are fisr class (none of the usual rubbish you find in such rental) and everything works. The location is excellent and the farm is immaculate. The owner is welcoming and friendly and even his little Jack Russel dog came for a visit to make sure we're at home. Telephone 3G/4G works but WIFI never connected. After the shock of being without internet wore off, we relaxed and enjoyed the peace and seclusion. I would highly recommend this complex for short or long break in the south lakes.

• "Liked the property and the location."

  Great for exploring this part of the world although obviously you need a car to get about. There was no handbook for the property which we've found with others we have stayed in. even though we didn't feel we had complete control of the heating, as it's on storage heaters, we tend to go to bed early ish so were never cold. the kitchen is equipped and suitable to cook your own meals if required. the beds were comfortable. The downstairs shower is a little small but works well and gets you clean. Overall we enjoyed our stay here and would return in the future.

• "Absolutely fantastic stay."

  The cottage was very comfortable and clean and very child friendly. It was a lovely surprise to find board games, dvds and a Games console in the living area and kept my 4 year old son entertained for hours. We visited for my Sons Birthday and he enjoyed every minute... So much so he got upset when we had to leave! The only downfall I found was that we didn't realise we needed to take our own straps to fasten my 8 month old into the high chair provided so we couldn't use it, but I'm not sure if that's just standard anywhere. We would definitely stay again.

• "An excellent location with good access to the Lakes."

  The Cottage was very cosy and really appreciated the bottle of wine, coffee and sugar. There was useful information available regarding places of interest and local gastropubs. We arrived over an hour earlier than the normal check in time but this was not an issue for the owners who allowed us entry. Power cut from 7pmish to just before 11pm on our final evening. Good job we had already eaten or else we could have been in a little trouble. Nothing the owners could have done about this though other than perhaps enquire to see if everything was ok. There was a torch in one of the cupboards and it was fortunate our Iphones were charged! Gorgeous farm cat purring away that our daughter loved. All in all a fantastic experience! Thank you!

  Incredibly clean and comfortable. Facilities included things we hadn't even considered we might need (a handy slow cooker meant we had meals ready after long hikes), the kitchen was very well provided, outdoor spaces were beautiful and well kept and the owners left us wine, milk, tea and coffee and even brought my parents some fresh eggs. Cannot rate them highly enough.

• "Lovely setting."

  But quite remote. We found it easier to spend whole day out and eat out at lunchtime rather than go out again in t,he evening to eat. As the road into ulverston is quite steep and narrow and the farm access road quite bumpy. Having said that the barn is in a lovely quiet peaceful location, only the sound of birds. No traffic noise great. It is a lovely area not one we had explored much before, but still handy for the lakes and holker hall and cartmel. Having gone into Windermere on. The Wednesday we were really glad to be staying in a quieter area. We couldn't believe the queues and the amount of people milling about. Didn't stay long but headed back to the more peaceful area around cartmel and ulverston. The facilities were good and having two bathrooms made it much easier with 4 adults in the barn. All in all a great break and would recommend it.
