"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 peaceful cottage, just what we needed thank you !"
-
"This cottage is by far the best we have stayed in, a credit to the owners."
We will be back.
Thank you for such a great compliment! We hope to see you back at the cottage very soon. All the best, Kate and the team. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage with everything you’d need."

"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.

"We had a wonderful week at Lacet Cottage."
A lovely cottage, beautifully furnished and in an ideal location to explore the Lakes. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you for you feedback, we are so happy you had such a fabulous stay at Lacet. Kind regards, Kate. Property Owner

"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

"Lovely comfortable property, gardens were amazing to explore."
A lot of thought had been put in making kids comfy providing games etc. Would be happy to go back again.
-
"A gem of a cottage, ideally placed to visit the many attractions in the Lake District."
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.
-
"Lacet is perfectly situated for any exploration of the northern lakes."
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.
-
"Excellent cottage."
Great views. Clean, spacious and comfortable.
-
"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!
Thank you very much for your feedback, it is always lovely to hear that guests have had a great time at Lacet. Property Owner

"What a perfect cottage in a beautiful location."

"Beautiful cottage in stunning location."
Red squirrels provided entertainment, but excellent wifi allowed full internet access as well! Lots to do and eat nearby. Friendly and very helpful owner.
-
"This is a really beautiful cottage in lovely quiet surroundings."
There were lots of wildlife on the doorstep. Red squirrels, pheasants and lots of sheep and happy lambs! The surrounding views were very picturesque from the garden. It was very well equipped with lots of different areas to sit. The beds were very comfortable.. Bath was great to soothe achy legs after a day on the fells. Pubs are a drive away.
-
"Wonderful week of walking in this beautiful area."
The cottage was just great - all we could have wished for.
-
"What a week!"
The weather has been glorious so much so we needed sun cream! Have thoroughly enjoyed staying at Lacet Cottage for our 1st visit. We have very much enjoyed exploring the total area. Thank you to Kate for making our stay so comfortable, we look forward to coming again!

"This is our second visit to Lacet Cottage and it is just as beautiful as we remembered."
We've had a wonderful week filled with squirrel and pheasant spotting and lots of peaceful solitude. Thank you!
-
"Was a very welcome break in a wonderfully peaceful place - particularly loved the daily visits from the red squirrels and pheasant!"
-
"What a tonic after a difficult year."
Sunshine, fells and daffodils. We loved this cottage; please can we stay here forever? P.s. the squirrel visits for his hazelnuts at about 6.30pm each evening.
-
"The cottage was in such a peaceful location."
The gardens were gorgeous and the wildlife you could see and hear were fantastic. The cottage was even lovelier than the photo's suggested. It was spotlessly clean and all the facilities in the cottage were of a very high standard.
-
"The cottage is lovely and the squirrels were amazing to watch!"
The wildlife is beautiful. We went to Aira Force and the waterfall was stunning. We would love to come back! Thank you very much.
-
"Our second stay at Lacet, this time with our friends having sung its praises from our first visit 2 years ago."
The cottage was as remembered, comfortable and teeming with wildlife. We’ve thoroughly worn the dog out with all of the walking we’ve done. We even drove over the Wrynose Pass- an experience!! Thank you for everything!
-
"Having stayed in the Lake District several times before, I'm now a covert to the Northern Lakes!"
The cottage is ideally located - perfect solitude yet easy to get to local amenities. The countryside is subtlety majestic. The cottage is superbly finished; it has every home comfort is beautifully done out. Thank you for a wonderful honeymoon!

The property
Originally built as two cottages, this spacious detached cottage, hidden down a country lane, is surrounded by its own lovely garden.
Downstairs, there’s a cosy lounge with log burning stove and Smart TV; a separate snug/reading room and the open plan kitchen with dining area is a lovely place to eat together.
Outside, there’s a lovely garden, patio and the boot room, ideal for outdoor gear.
Upstairs to two luxurious bedrooms, one with king-size bed and a feature roll top bath with a sneak and peek window and views across the countryside.
The second bedroom, again with lovely views, offers a sumptuous super king-size or twin.
To complement the bedrooms there is a shower room with walk in shower, basin and WC.
Back downstairs there is a further shower/wet room with walk in shower and WC.
A useful utility area too, with fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer and from here a door to the garden.
To the front of the cottage there is a small garden but offering more privacy the rear garden extends to a small orchard and includes a patio with bistro garden furniture.
The owner of Lacet Cottage also has two other quality properties located close by – Home Farm House (Sleep 6) and Highgate (Sleep 8) Hutton John is a small hamlet close to Watermillock and the popular village of Pooley Bridge at the northernmost tip of Ullswater, with lots of selection pubs, cafes and shops to enjoy, and is popular all year round.
There’s a huge selection of footpaths and bridleways and there are walks and cycle routes for all.
Travelling from the central Lakes over the stunning Kirkstone Pass, drop down into the beautiful glacial carved landscapes surrounding the Lake itself, with villages along its shoreline.
At the southern end of the Lake you will find Glenridding, a popular little village and a starting point for Helvellyn and Striding Edge.
A gentler walk is Aira Force, probably the most famous of the Lake District waterfalls.
The main force falls some 70ft below a stone footbridge - so don't forget your camera.
Ullswater is thought by many to be the most beautiful of all the lakes in the northern Lake District, being a serpentine body of water snaking a nine-mile course close to magnificent fells, woodland and mountain.
Much of the lake, its shore and surrounding fells are accessible to explore, and the newly completed Ullswater Way takes you all the way round.
If you’re wanting to get on the water, there are steam cruises from Glenridding and Howtown.
Further afield & a 20-minute drive is Keswick the main town of the north lakes, a bustling market town set between the peaks of Skiddaw and the gentle beauty of Derwentwater.
Here you’ll find good shops, a host of restaurants and cafes, along with museums, a theatre, cinema and leisure centre.
Take a boat trip or hire one for yourself and explore the shoreline and little bays.
The market towns of Penrith and Alston lie to the North West on the edge of the Eden Valley and are well worth a visit.
Grasmere & Ambleside lie to the south.
