"We found Billy's very warm and comfortable."
The only issue was that the bathroom door would not shut at all. We reported this and were told it is going to be sorted out. We used the garden chairs and enjoyed the garden. Billy's is well situated for exploring the coast and lakes. We look forward to staying at Billy's again.

"Billy's Cottage was a delight, spotless clean, very well presented everything you needed, well equipped kitchen."
Lovely comfy king size bed. My dogs enjoyed having a garden ,we live in a flat .The stairs to the bedrooms are steep so not suitable if you have mobility problem, but that goes with the cottage how it was built. We had a lovely stay and would definitely book again.

"There was an unusual unclean/stale smell every time returning back to the property from being out."
There was no hand soap available in the bathroom. The bathroom has mould, cracked sealant and gaps around the bathtub. The door does not close and the lock is just for show. The sofas and furnishings were tired and carpet had multiple stains on. The front door leaked in when it rained. The carpet on the stairs is coming away near the bottom. The fire alarm battery needed changed (as it was beeping repeatedly). So we took it down and noticed it wasn't a hard wired alarm and had a replacement date that had expired. Furthermore, we both experienced a case of bed bugs bites. We didn't raise anything with the owners as for us, we were out most of the day most days. And for how long we were staying it 'served a purpose' of giving us a roof. The cost for what we got is saddening as the cost doesn't reflect the quality of the rental by a country mile. The paintwork and general upkeep and maintenance of the property is severely lacking and I wouldn't recommend anyone stay here. Id appreciate a refund but doubt that will happen so will have to chalk it up to a bad experience and be cautious of Skye's other rentals on the site.

"Billy's cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay."
A modern and stylish kitchen which is well stocked with all the cutlery, crockery and glassware you will need. Two double bedrooms, with comfy beds and decent sized bathroom. Very clean throughout, however some fixtures and fittings did need some attention.
Would definitely stay here again, we had a lovely stay.

"We found Billy's cottage clean and tidy and very welcoming."
The kitchen is modern and well stocked with all utensils with a dining table and 4 chairs.
The 2 bedrooms are a good size, one to the front and one to the rear and both very comfortable.
The bathroom is at the bottom of the stairs adjacent to the kitchen and adequate.
The only downside is the stairs are very steep, it was fine for us but could be a problem if you have mobility issues.
Having never visited the area before the cottage was central to areas like Keswick and Whitehaven, approx 30 mins, Maryport is 5 minutes by car and the beach at Alo by 10 mins, we spent every morning on the beach with the dogs.
I can thoroughly recommend Billy's Cottage and we will certainly return

"Our stay at Billy’s Cottage could not have been better!"
The property was warm, clean and inviting. Every last detail had been thought of with plenty of towels, tea towels and cleaning/washing supplies available for us to use. The tea, coffee, sugar and milk ready and waiting in the fridge was a pleasure to arrive to after a long drive.
The instruction booklet provided was informative and provided us with everything we needed to know about the property.
The beds were comfortable and the room were well sized with plenty of storage for our clothes during the week. The view from the garden was stunning (even in the poor weather)!
Literally everything had been thought of! Cannot fault this place at all, fantastic stay and cannot wait to book again ☺️

Our stay for the week was very comfortable it was like home from home, everything you needed was available, there was constant hot water which was great after a long wet, cold walk. We slept in the front bedroom overlooking the road which we had no issues with we slept soundly every night and the bed was very comfortable. Would definitely recommend Billy’s cottage and stay again when visiting the Lake District.

"Good base for exploring the area."
Updates needed to local pubs nearest two were closed. Some dampness in bathroom area could do with updating . Very well equipped cottage but very steep stairs if you have mobility issues. Two power cuts beyond anyone's control maybe have some candles available in future. Overall a most enjoyable stay would recommend this cottage.

"The cottage was lovely and as described and it was also very well-equipped with everything we needed."
The only point I would make us that the stairs to the upper floor are very steep. It wasn’t a problem for us but I would think carefully about this particular cottage if you have mobility issues or young children.
We found plenty to do in the local area during our week’s stay and had a very enjoyable stay. The pie shop round the corner (Cottage Pie) was excellent and they do filled rolls as well.

"A great little cottage with everything provided with a nice little patio in the back garden."
A well stocked kitchen and comfy sitting room. Mind as advertised the stairs are very steep . A nice handy location for trips either into the Lakes or out to the coast. The village has a well stocked shop within the garage which is just a short walk from the cottage. There is also a pie shop just around the corner although we never got chance to try it.. This is a cottage that we would put on our "return to " list.

"We stayed in Billy's cottage for a week."
The place was clean and well equipped and very cosy. We have 2 dogs and there were spare bowls and poo bags available. Not ultra modern but more cottage vibes as described. The stairs are steep but again it was in the description. I personally was not keen on the induction hob and struggled a bit with it but we didn't cook much. It did work, I just couldn't get my head around it properly. The kitchen was very well equipped. The place is just far enough out of town to be quiet but close enough not to be remote. There are shops close by and an amazing pie shop round the corner. We found it very easy to get to all the places we wanted to visit, the location for us was ideal. We loved it there and would love to visit again.
