• "We had a wonderful stay at Larch Cottage."

  It was quaint & peaceful, just what was needed after a very busy & stressful year. The cottage is spotlessly clean & so welcoming. There is lots of info too about places to go. Absolutely loved the fire & so did Tanky our dog. He loved seeing the cows appear daily too, although I'm not sure the cow's felt the same way. Lovely touch with the bottle of wine too, thank you.

  It was exactly as described and everything was lovely and clean. The cottage had everything we needed and we felt so relaxed and comfortable. Our dog was also happy staying here and there was plenty of space for her to relax. The cottage is in a great location being so close to hawskhead village and Ambleside. Thank you so much, we will definitelybe visiting again.

• "Lovely little cottage."

  Good location for Coniston and Ambleside areas. Had everything you could need. Kitchen was very well equipped. Bed was very comfortable. Nice to have the option of a shower or bath. Only negative is that we don't think it's practical to have the dehumidifier running all the time.

  Thank you for your review of Larch Cottage, I am very pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Regarding your comments about the dehumidifier I agree with you entirely. I do not expect it to be on permanently, merely during periods of very wet weather to enable faster drying of walking clothes etc. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

• "Larch Cottage is in a lovely tranquil location with a truly stunning view out the back into the garden with a stream / waterfall running through the owners side and from the bedroom you can see the hills and little lane ."

  It was very tidy and clean . We were a little surprised that there was no welcome pack apart from a bottle of wine in the fridge - a small thing but we would have appreciated some milk , teabags and coffee after a long journey . The other tip we would suggest to the owners would be the addition of a visitors book - there was nothing in the way of recommendations from people for places to visit / best cafes / walks etc Absolutely loved Hawkshead village a couple of miles by road or 1 mile to walk across the fields , Coniston and Grizedale were very accessable . Would recommend this lovely cottage to people that like a peaceful and quiet base

  Thank you for your lovely review of Larch Cottage. I am very pleased that you enjoyed both the cottage and the area and hope that you might decide to visit again. The garden is always at its best in May. We removed the visitor book during Covid but we could probably reinstate it now. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

• "A beautiful, cosy cottage, well furnished and equipped with a really comfortable bed, but not very dog-friendly."

  We were grateful that we had taken plenty of throws and towels to protect the carpets and we would have appreciated a room with a hard floor and a door in which to sleep our dog, The bathroom wasn't appropriate as we tend to need to use that during the night. It was, however, very convenient for visiting the south lakes and we had a very enjoyable week.

  Thank you for your kind remarks about Larch Cottage. I am sorry it was not completely satisfactory for your dog’s requirements but am pleased you found it comfortable and had an enjoyable week. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

  Very clean and comfortable. Thank you for the bottle of wine that was waiting for us on our arrival! Only minor criticisms are that the WiFi was very slow, and a spare bin bag would have been handy. Overall though, we really enjoyed our stay at Larch Cottage.

• "We had a great time at Larch cottage."

  It was very clean and well presented. And the bed was comfortable. Lovely location. The only downside was, there was no table and chairs outside. We like our morning coffee outside. On the pictures and in the description, table and chairs are seen and mentioned. Not there in reality. This was the only downside. We will be coming back soon though

  Thank you for your review of Larch Cottage, I am pleased you enjoyed your stay. I am sorry about the lack of garden furniture while you were in the cottage. We actually have a set for both areas of the garden, but owing to therain and gales we have had, it was all put away in the garage . We do encourage guests to ask if they have additional requirements. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

  The kitchen is very well fitted and all the equipment makes for an easy break away. The gas fire in the lounge is superb. The area is beautiful and there are a lot of walks to do from the cottage. The atmosphere in Hawkshead is lovely and the pubs are friendly. The weather was awful on our break but that’s the Lake District.

  Thank you for your kind remarks about Larch Cottage and Hawkshead village. I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay despite the truly horrific rain. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

• "Having just enjoyed a week in Larch Cottage we found the accommodation and surroundings conducive to a relaxing and enjoyable stay."

  The property was well maintained and spotlessly clean whilst being well presented with all requirements needed. As a holiday property for two I feel it more than accommodated our requirements and as such allowed us to fully enjoy our holiday. Nowhere was too far away being centrally positioned between Hawkshead, Coniston, and Ambleside and as such it’s positioning enabled us to have a relaxing holiday without being too distant from shops or restaurants etc. Also, the property was ideally positioned for walking from the cottage whilst leaving the car. We have returned from Larch Cottage fully refreshed and as such I would certainly rebook the accommodation for future holidays in the area and recommend the property to others as I already have done.

  Thank you for your kind words about your holiday in Larch Cottage. I always hope that guests enjoy themselves and it is most pleasing when they do. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

• "We had an enjoyable stay, the cottage was lovely and clean and it felt comfortable as soon as you walked in."

  The kitchen was small but had everything we could want and more even an empty cupboard to put our groceries in. The cottage is in a quiet hamlet but so near to the Lakes and Hawkshead just a short drive away. I'm on crutches at this time but we found Miles without Stiles nearby and the National Trust (even though we aren't members) loan out a mobility scooter for a donation if you can. The trail you can use it on is lovely, even on a rainy day it was scenic. We had a small issue with the key lock but after talking to the owner a guy turned up in a few mins to fix it. Thankyou for a quiet peaceful stay in your lovely cottage.

• "We had a lovely stay at Larch Cottage."

  It's beautifully decorated throughout. All home comforts have been thought about with care and the cottage is a very comfortable home from home. There are lovely views from the cottage, which looks over the owners garden with a stream running through the garden. The kitchen is well equipped and the inclusion of dishwasher tablets was greatly appreciated. As has previously been mentioned the bath could have done with a bathmat, not sure if this was just forgotten. The other thing to mention is the dehumidifier that the owner asks to keep running. This isn't mentioned in the description. We had enough data but again the description does not mention that there is a data cap and streaming movies may be difficult. Having said that we had no issues watching Netflix or iPlayer. The location of the cottage is perfect. Good walks in all directions. The garden isn't enclosed so our dog could not be let out on his own, but again that wasn't a problem. None of the above really affected the enjoyment of our holiday and we highly recommend a stay at Larch Cottage. We recharged our batteries and would certainly return and have no hesitation in recommending it as a great place stay when exploring and walking the Lake District.

  Thank you for your kind and helpful remarks about Larch Cottage. I am delighted that you enjoyed your holiday and would wish to return. I have purchased a rubber bath mat as you suggest, I do not expect the dehumidifier to be on all the time, merely at times of extreme wet weather when outdoor clothing needs drying. I am not aware of a data cap on the Wi-Fi but will investigate further. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

  Spotlessly clean with pretty furnishings. Dog and I enjoyed the gas stove, particularly after a wet day! Work space a bit limited in the kitchen but still managed. Thank you to the nice lady who came up to adjust the pressure in the new gas CH boiler. Would have appreciated a drying rack which I could stand in the bath for wet walking stuff as didn’t like to drape over the chairs. Look forward to coming again, perhaps next autumn. Many thanks.

  Thank you for your kind and helpful review of Larch Cottage, I am pleased my very efficient cleaner was able to help you with the boiler problem and that you enjoyed your holiday despite the very wet weather. I have bought a laundry rack as you suggest and hope that I might see you next year. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner

• "The cottage was well located, thoughtfully equipped and clean."

  Unfortunately the Wi-Fi was barely useable and also restricted, this should have been highlighted in the listing. It would also have been nice to have some hand soap in the cottage.

  Thank you for your review of Larch Cottage. All feedback is important to me and I am sorry the cottage Wi-Fi did not meet your expectations. It is unfortunate that you did not ask me about it at the time as I could have had it checked. The cottage Is in a very rural location and consequently there is not a telegraph pole to connect a wire too, hence the system I have is the best available. I hope, however, that you enjoyed the other facilities Larch Cottage offers, including the complimentary bottle of wine in the fridge. With kind regards, Anne Property Owner
