"The property was perfect for a group of 7 (2 families, 3 children total)."
The location was optimal with regard to proximity to Lancaster and the Lake District. The owner was on top of everything. Very cordial and ready to assist, she helped us take care of minor issues related to the heating, which made for a smooth (and warm) stay. Nothing beats a great place that has such a welcoming landlady.
Thank you very much for your lovely review. So pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"A lovely stay in a really comfortable cottage."
Great facilities and really comfortable beds! And a lovely location very close to the beach. The only things that could be added to make it perfect are a cafetiere and a larger chopping board! Otherwise everything we needed was there.
Thank you very much for your kind review. Glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner

"Willow cottage was beautiful."
It had everything you could ever need. There was a lovely welcome pack when we arrived, including treats for our dog. The hosts had condidered everything. Instructions were there and a contact number, should we need any help. Stunning views from the back garden. Everyday we saw deer and other wildlife. A very peaceful area. The beds were very comfy and we slept well. We will definitely be rebooking.
Thank you very much for your lovely review. So happy that you will be coming back! Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Willow Cottage."
It is on a quiet road and close to the village centre which has 2 pubs, lovely coffee shop, convenience store and a butchers. There are lovely walks straight from the door and easy access to South Lakes. We found the lounge, beds very comfortable and bathroom and shower great, there was plenty of hot water and heating. The kitchen is a bright and airy social space and leads to a lovely terrace and garden that backs onto a lovely meadow, our small dog was very safely enclosed and fascinated by the cows in the meadow! The sunsets from the terrace was fabulous! The property has undergone a very significant refurbishment and some decorative snags are being sorted out, this in no way deterred from the pleasure of staying at Willow and we will be booking again.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re very happy that you’re coming back again and with lovely Tilly! Lesley Property Owner

"This should be a nice property once the building work has been completed and the snagging carried out."
These issues have been reported. Although advertised for 8 people this seems ambitious given the need for more essentials, e.g. mugs and cooking equipment. There were only 2 loo rolls, no kitchen roll, and we only found the dish cloths on Day 6. The shower room is also very small, cramped and dark. For those with a dog the garden is not secure at the bottom and there were frequently cows in the field. There was no visitor information, e.g. emergency numbers, shops, eating places, or information about recycling - we did what we could with the latter.
Sorry to hear there wasn’t enough kitchen equipment for you. There is currently at least eight of everything but I will add to this, if needed. As you know, there is a phone number in the cottage for guests to call. The property manager lives close by and would’ve been happy to drop anything off for you within minutes. The shower room has a Victorian window that cannot be made any bigger due to the thickness of the stone walls but it has bright spotlights and a backlit mirror. The top floor bathroom has a very large velux window. I am not sure why the enclosed garden was not secure as it has a fence and gates. A smaller dog could possibly get through a gap into the field so we will check and fix it. Thank you for pointing that out. Property Owner
