• "We had a lovely holiday at Rustic cottage ,short walk into town though very peaceful and quiet at the cottage which was extremely well equipped,in fact one of the best of the many cottages we have stayed in."

  The beds were excellent, so comfortable. The owner kindly kept a parking space for us ,use of permit available but we didn't use the car all week using an excellent bus service instead.

  We really appreciate your kind comments. It was lovely to have you both as guests and look forward to seeing you again soon. The location of our cottage being central but quietly tucked away in Bowness makes it an ideal base to explore the area. Our aim is to try and offer clean and comfortable accommodation for our guests. Property Owner

• "Very comfy warm cottage."

  . Clean and well equipped..Although a parking perit is supplied you can hardly ever park in the road leading to the cottage. As i have difficulty walking this was a great inconveinience, so much so i would not book this cottage again.

  Thank you for your positive comments regarding our cosy, comfortable cottage tucked away in the centre of Bowness. Regarding the permit parking this is normal for most properties in the area, although we understand and sympathise with your personal circumstances free parking is always available literally around the corner.

• "A gorgeous little cottage in such a peaceful spot."

  Bowness is really busy with tourists but this cottage is at the end of a cul de sac so no passing traffic. The owner kindly saved us a parking space really close to the cottage and texted us to let us know, it was so helpful for unloading! Lovely facilities and the shops etc just a short distance away including a Tesco express, very handy!! Local bus service is fantastic so you could park up and go everywhere on buses for only£2 a journey!

  Many thanks for your lovely comments, we really appreciate your positive feedback. We always aim to please and ensure you have an enjoyable, relaxing stay. We look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

  A lovely warm and cosy cottage with very comfortable beds and everything we needed.My only little gripe was that I thought that there were logs supplied in the rent for the log burner for which there was 1 log!! It wasn't a problem as I went to the Booth store and bought some and the log burner worked a treat! A lovely cottage and would love to stay again maybe in the summer months.Thank you.

• "Absolutely beautiful cottage, had everything we needed and the Christmas tree just totally set the scene."

  It was lovely and warm and had everything we needed for a lovely stay. The only negative we could say was barking dogs. A dog constantly barked every morning and throughout the day in the bedroom adjoining the main bedroom in our cottage as my wife isnt well with pain she has to dose sometimes throughout the day if she hasn’t slept at night but this was impossible with the continuous noise. There was also a dog at number 1 which seemed to be out in the garden early morning and left to bark and late at night. We have a dog and she can bark a couple of times if someone knocks on the door but otherwise is kept in check and certainly wouldn’t be left to bark bark. Bark continuous!!!It was disappointing and annoying and did spoil the stay unfortunately, some people don’t seem to have respect for other people.

  Hi guys thank you for your positive feedback and kind comments. We are happy that you enjoyed our cosy cottage in the centre of Bowness. We are sorry the issue of barking dogs caused a tarnish to your stay. Unfortunately this is out of our control. Normally our guests enjoy the peace and tranquility which our cottage provides. We cannot control who may be using nearby properties, sadly bad timing i suppose. Look forward to seeing you again, hopefully with the usual peace and quiet. Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage clean and very well equipped,and the perfect location close to shops and restaurants but still nice and quiet."

  The only down side was the parking although a permit is provided, its on a first come first served basis and can be a long walk to the cottage when unloading luggage, and as there's no where to turn the car round you have to reverse out onto the road.I would definitely stay here again despite the parking as its a lovely cottage.

  Hi many thanks for your kind comments. We always try to make our guests stay as positive as possible. Normally we are there to obtain a parking spot when our guests arrive, unfortunately we are away at the moment. Although it’s first come first serve there is always parking literally around the corner. The central and quiet location of the property in Bowness out weighs the initial parking issue. We are happy you feel you would like to return and perhaps look forward to seeing you in the future. Property Owner

• "Main problem was lack of parking, on arrival we had loads to unload, arriving on a Saturday when Bowness is still so busy it was not surprising to find no parking slots."

  This lead to upteem trips back & fro to off load & although the cottage well caters with lots of extras, milk would have been good, there was everything else to make a cuppa apart from milk. Great touches like torches, hoover being available, cling film, foil etc, door mat inside kitchen would have been useful Overall a lovely cottage, would not return due to parking problems (& although no fault of anyone) the low flying jets, which we experienced last year as well, they petrified our dog, which meant us walking with her off lead almost impossible).

  Many thanks for your comments. We appreciate that Permit parking is sometimes a little difficult,as you know a simple map is available in the cottage on the kitchen table. This directs guests to parking which is always available around the corner. Unloading on arrival( if no Permit parking is available) can be done at the entrance of the cottage and your vehicle can then be parked around the corner. Please note most properties in the area have the predicament. Your comment regarding supplying milk is a worthy comment and we will act on this. Property Owner

  The parking was very poor.

  Sorry you were disappointed with the size of our cosy cottage, please remember the property is nearly 400 years old and the interior ambience reflects this. In our opinion the stairs are no more steeper than an average household. Your comment regarding the additional rail at the top of the stairs is appreciated and certainly gives us the opportunity for improvement. Most properties in this area have Permit parking.

  Graham and hazel made us feel very welcome - looking out for us the minute we arrived and letting us know they were there if needed. The property is brilliantly located near the centre and lake. Very private and cosy. The cottage and garden were secure and super clean. My dog could safely explore without worry if escaping. All the little extras we kept finding tea, coffee, torches, tissues, reed diffusers to name a few showed the care and thought put in to make guests feel welcome and at home. Only downside is it only sleeps 3 as I am planning a break with my friends later in the year but we won’t all fit!! Thank you for helping to make our visit to the lakes a lovely experience
