"The property was fantastic, had all the utensils we required and definitely exceeded our expectations."
There was plenty of room throughout the house which was perfect for our family. The location was ideal too as it allowed us to explore the local area without always having drive. Absolutely loved our week there and will definitely look at going back again in the future.
Delighted to read your positive feedback, thank you for sharing - especially that you thought the property was fantastic. Great to know you highly rated the property’s location, space, and the kitchen equipment. We hope you return in the future…thank you Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay at Blencathra."
Only minor negatives were the one shower for 8 people and roadside parking for loading/unloading luggage but we considered this before booking and would certainly return in the future. We looked on Google maps and thought there was a local car park we could use but found it was private on arrival. We could usually get the two cars close to the house. The location was great for us with easy access to town and hill walking from the door. The house is spacious and we never felt we were under one another’s feet. The fridge freezer is massive and great for a big group.
Thanks for your positive and balanced feedback, much appreciated. Pleased you found the location to be ideal and the house to be spacious - hope your group had fun! We look forward to you booking again in the future, thank you Property Owner

"We had a great stay and really enjoyed the house."
Great location, just a 5-10 min walk to the centre, or the lake, lovely park nearby. The owner was very receptive when we reported the bin wasn't emptied. Just a few little things that stopped me giving 5 stars: 2 of the rooms didn't have a mirror (other than a tiny free standing one by the sink in one), the twin room didn't have a bin or a bedside light - so very small things that would make quite a difference. But generally a wonderful place to stay with a luxury feel. Thank you very much!
Pleased to hear you enjoyed the house location and its luxury feel. Thanks for your constructive feedback. The upstairs bedrooms did have large freestanding mirrors, but they were broken and needed replacing - I have purchased, just not dropped at the house yet. The twin bedroom used to have a bedside lamp, so unsure what has gone on there - I will re-purchase along with some additional bins. Thank you Property Owner

"Lovely house in a great location!"

"Great property and location."
High end kitchen and bathroom. Spacious. Only constructive criticism would be that if you were sharing say between 2 families (I.e max capacity of 8), one bathroom is limiting despite 3 toilets. Could do with more seating - especially at the rear of kitchen near log burner. Few more saucepans would be ideal and a stock of logs for the log burner. Small improvements would have made 5 star review rather than 4. Still had a great time and would go back, albeit we stayed as a family of 4.
Thanks for the overall, really positive feedback. Pleased to know you rated the high end spacious kitchen. Thanks for your suggestions to improve our property, all gratefully received. Extra pans/another armchair an easy enough fix, additional bathroom requires extra thought as we don’t want to take away from the great sleeping space on offer. Unfortunately we can’t provide logs for the burner, but local shops tend to have a good stock. We hope you return in the future, thank you so much Property Owner

"We loved the property!"
Great location, beautiful house with so much space and amenities. It was all at such a high standard. The location was close to town and the wonderful Fitz Park in a very quiet neighborhood. If possible we would love to book it again for a week next August?
