• "Lovely cottage had a great time saw plenty of red squirrels."

  Housekeeping needs some attention when we arrived there were spiders and cobwebs in most room corners and windows and flies bits of plastic wrapping and dirt from previous guests sitting rm the worst lampshade and bottom of little round table lots of cobwebs and all the skirting boards dusty I know it’s hard to keep on top of it all being a old cottage I manage old thatched holiday cottages. Toaster tray full of crumbs lots dirt under microwave beside dining rm cabinet by squirrel bin lots of cobwebs. Maybe leave a few logs for guests to start one fire on arrival and information on where to buy extra for there stay . Some nice bath sheets instead of standard bath towels would make it feel a little more five star but these are just small negatives .

  Hello Sharon, Thanks for your feedback. You gave an extremely low mark for accuracy of the listing but then have not said what the problem was. All the best, Kate. Property Owner

• "Me, my husband, daughter and dog loved it!"

  !! The place was spotless and could not find anything to complain about! We loved the sound of the little steam in the evening and being woke to sound of sheep! Our daughter enjoyed feeding the red squirrels and we saw a weasel run across the garden!! Great location and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you for making our first trip to the Lake District one to remember. And not forgetting the welcome hamper :)

• "Lacet cottage is a lovely place to stay in the Lake District; it’s very comfortable and well maintained."

  There is plenty of space for 4 people, but it’s also cosy. We visited Glenridding and Dacre nearby (both had excellent pubs), and Keswick is a bustling market town and not very far. Our favourite things to do were probably watching the red squirrels and birds from the kitchen window, playing scrabble and toasting marshmallows by the fire. We left wishing we had booked for longer.

  Thank you for your feedback. We love the red squirrels too! We hope you can come back very soon. All the best, Kate and the team. Property Owner

• "Such a lovely cottage in a quiet secluded spot."

  Only 10/15mins to the nearest town but feels like a lifetime away. Great for exploring Ullswater lake. Definitely make sure to visit the lake during a sunrise!

  Thank you for your review. We’re so pleased you had a lovely stay. All the best, Kate. Property Owner

• "Beautiful clean and cosy cottage in the most gorgeous setting."

  We were fortunate enough to have red squirrels and woodpeckers in the garden every day . A beautiful place to relax and take in the beauty of the surroundings. Only downside were the two steps down into the kitchen, unfortunately they were difficult to see for oldies like us as the tiled steps were the same colour of the floor, so we had a couple of stumbles. However, I’m sure that most people would be able to see them better than us. Overall a fabulous holiday in a gorgeous setting.

  Thank you for your feedback and we are glad you had such a lovely stay. We do have many older couples staying at the cottage. However Lacet does have an unusual layout as it was once 2 separate farmer’s cottages, so I’m afraid we can’t do anything about the steps in to the kitchen. All the best, Kate and the team.

• "Lacet Cottage is a beautifully prepared and appointed house with all the facilities one could wish for."

  Very quiet position, yet with easy access to the A66 and thus the Lakes road network. Comfortable beds, if perhaps a trifle soft. Roomy shower facilities. The upstairs shower room fan is becoming noisy and runs for too long; three to five minutes would be enough, not 12!

  Thank you for your feedback and we’re pleased to hear you had a lovey stay at the cottage, We found the fan was failing so we’ve replaced it. Thank you for letting us know.. All the best, Kate. Property Owner

• "We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lacet Cottage- we really didn't want to leave!"

  The cottage is beautiful (even more so than the photos), and the surrounding scenery is stunning. One of the comfiest beds we've ever slept on, and we loved the underfloor heating downstairs. Would thoroughly recommend having a long soak in the roll-top bath in the smaller (but still large) bedroom. The house has everything you need for a great stay. Our Dachshund, Bumble, loved it, too, and made himself right at home from the first day. We did have to keep him on the lead in the garden due to him trying to get down to the river a few times, but this wasn't a huge issue. A massive thank you to Kate for the prosecco to celebrate my birthday during our stay- that was a lovely touch! We'd love to visit the cottage again.

  Thank you so much for the very positive feedback. We are particularly pleased Bumble loved the garden. Hope to see you again. All the best, Kate. Property Owner

  The cottage has been modernised to a high standard but in keeping with the style. A quiet location where you can enjoy daily visits from red squirrels and in our case pheasants.

  It is clearly a much-loved enterprise; communication with the owner is excellent and any query, however minor, is resolved immediately. The cottage is clean, comfortable and has a superb range of facilities. We have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and seeing red squirrels from the kitchen window is a magical experience we will treasure.

• "Love Lacet cottage."

  .we have visited several times now. Very comfy and clean cottage furnished very tastefully with beautiful natural garden with river running close by (down a bank to side of property). The location is rural and a few miles to Ullswater and villages of Pooley Bridge and Glenridding with pubs/cafes/small shops. Perfect for local walks, quiet time or to explore more of the Lakes. One of our favourite places to stay ever!
