"Bakers Cottage is lovely and compact but had everything we needed."
The location was nice and quiet, the parking spot is a bit small and not really ideal for big cars due to its position and shape, great if you have a small car! However, we parked on the street the whole time which was fine because the road has lots of space and this saved us trying to squeeze past all the parked cars and vans on a tight bend. The beds were super comfy and la wardrobe with lots of space for clothes. Some hanging hooks on the door may be good though for jackets etc but that's personal choice I suppose. Previous reviews mentioned the very small bathroom but it was fine and it did say in the description it was like this, everything was lovely, soap, toilet roll etc was all provided too and a good shower. The garden was so pretty and the potted plants were in full bloom, unfortunately the weather was rubbish so we didn't get to enjoy it. The lounge was cosy and we even lit the fire a couple of evenings as it was cold so this was welcoming, especially for our dog who just didn't move for hours!
On arrival we had a bottle of wine, some biscuits and sweet treats which was a nice touch. All in all it's a lovely cottage and we had an enjoyable few days. We did have to leave a day early due to a family emergency back home, which was a shame, but a perfect base for enjoying the Lakes.

"We stayed at Bakers Cottage in August 2022 and found the cottage to be perfect for our small family (2 adults, 1 child & 1 small/medium dog), and were pleased to find that it was still as well maintained & clean as we remembered, and enjoyed our stay here again this year."
We would recommend this property, and we will be sure to return again in the near future.

"A lovely cosy cottages that was fully equipped, clean and extremely spacious and comfortable for 3 adults and a dog."
perfect base for exploring Northern Lakes and Yorkshire Dales but close enough to central lakes including Windermere and Grassmere. nice to return to at the end of each day following lengthy walks with a powerful hot shower and comfy bed. Friendly neighbours and welcoming village shop only 2 minutes walk. Following other reviews took a heavy base frying pan which came in handy. Will definitely return and recommend to friends.

"Owner provided a bottle of wine and milk, fresh flowers and a box of chocolates."
The cottage was "compact", especially the upstairs.
The central heating was effective in November time.
There was a log burning fire, but not enough wood for one evening, extra wood was on offer at £6 a bag. The out of season price was competitive.

It was easy to get to Appleby for shopping and cafes. We were also within a short walk of the local shop.

"Bed very comfortable."
Cottage ideal as a base but wouldn't recommend if you had small children as stairs very narrow and bathroom no bigger than a closet could do with a few more cooking pans and had trouble reading the dials on the hob.
Very quiet area but have stayed in Kirby Thore before as have family near by.
Parking is a struggle we have a Audi A6 saloon and only just got it in the parking area so anything bigger you have no hope.

"Just a small issue about parking."
May be better to advertise as parking for one small car. If I had had a larger car it would not have fitted onto the tight parking plot. Other than that that’s cottage was beautifully presented, exceptionally clean and the arrival gifts were very appreciated. The cottage had everything you needed for a pleasant stay.

"I felt that there was a large shortage of necessary essentials ie toilet rolls , bin liners, ."
I would have preferred to have the little things available instead of the choc mint cake and wine they kindly left us.
Disappointed that there were no bins either rubbish or recycling!! We had to make a journey to a recycling centre outside Kirkby. It wouldn’t hurt to invest in a decent tv and entertainment package, due to COVID not everyone wants to venture out in the evening and it was exceptionally difficult to find something to watch.

The shower room although compact is perfectly laid out in the space available.
Arrival touches were a lovely treat. The garden is a sun-trap which was great.
The only issue is the parking (especially if a local has taken the space without leaving a note on screen). You will have to do a bit of manoeuvring to get in/out.
Definitely would stay here again

"A lovely cosy cottage in a great location."
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would choose it again as an ideal base for the Lakes and Dales. Welcome pack and already-made-up log burner were really nice touches. Bathroom and bedroom quite small but ok for a short stay of a few days. Parking space very tight so needs considering if you're coming in a very large car or motor-home as I think you'd struggle to park next to the property. Overall really good and would recommend to people.
