• "Lovely cottage, probably the best we have had in the Lakes over many years."

  Spotlessly clean, well appointed with lots of crockery etc.. and many other utensils not normally provided. Initial issues with operating the Aga, not being used to it, but got there by the end of the week. Beds bedding and lounge furniture very comfortable. Lovely quiet position with ample parking. The separate studio suited our party very well, and the games room was great if a little underutilised by us. We would certainly recommend this property.

• "Fantastic property, really spacious and well equipped."

  Enough space to accommodate several families and not be on top of each other! We are already thinking about re booking for next year! Thanks so much for a wonderful week in the Lakes!

• "Property is in good condition, evidently well maintained."

  Position is perfect for a quiet stay and we were blessed with very good weather . I could not understand the economy of the Arga, being on all the time. I did not give 5 stars for comfort as. The downstairs bed was too soft for my back.

  Great location. Everything you could need in the kitchen very well kitted out. Note d/s bedroom bathroom small and lack of space/storage others all great sizes. Nice touch of games in the garage Owners had problems with cleaning company but came and sorted problem themselves 3 extra visits to do so! Lovely owners hope you got TV sorted.

• "We loved our stay at Bobbin Mill which was spotlessly clean and very appointed."

  The location is great, near plenty of attractions and eateries but tucked away so it was peaceful. We thank you so much for the bird feeders and food as the plethora of bold and beautiful birds that visited, delighted us all day, every day. The rabbits and deer were bonus. I have to say we didn't think the sloping ceilings would bother us, but it did a tad, and we were glad the weather was moderate and not hot as the aga in the kitchen would have made hob cooking unbearable. The electric oven is a good addition to a very well equipped kitchen, loved the big fridge. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

  Thank you for your kind comments, we are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us & the nature.... we do work very hard to encourage all the animals to visit us, by laying food in accessible places for them to eat, especially the birds & deer. Property Owner

  The furnishings and equipment were all excellent and the Christmas decorations made for a beautiful, thoughtful, touch. Snow on our fourth night was very seasonal and the heating, Aga and log burner made it lovely and cosy. The studio is an ideal addition, as is the off-road parking. We highly recommend this outstanding property.

  Cottage lovely with every facility. An issue arose with AGA but owner came back to us quickly. Could not find the firestick remote to operate the TV in ground floor bedroom but not important to us. Should flag up to owner that other people are putting rubbish in the designated Cumbria Waste bin which caused bin to overflow at end of stay.

  My mum, myself and other family members had such an amazing week. The cottage is superb and the wildlife in the garden is spectacular. At one point a pheasant tapped on the conservatory door for more nuts. Where can u see that! Thank you to the owners for allowing us to experience this cottage for a week. One bit of advice for those staying is keep the tub of nuts inside as the squirrel managed to get the lid of twice lol. No hesitation in recommending anyone to stay here and I hope to come back again

• "If you are looking for a holiday home experience which makes you feel like you are abroad, you will be hard pushed to match the Bobbin Mill."

  Outside you have a huge dining table with seating for eight, you then walked down a few steps that took you over a small bridge to an area where the BBQ and a large fire pit are located with yet another seating area under a wooden outdoor structure which resembled a large beach hut, add to this the outside lights which were strung back across back towards the house and it provided us with some very memorable and relaxed evenings. Inside one half of the double garage adjacent to this were a full size pool table and tabletop football! The web pictures did not do justice to the size and scale of the property, every attention to detail and quality has been paid and the owners were extremely helpful.

  The house and separate studio are superb and the facilities are brilliant with everything you could possibly need. The location is excellent with walks from the door up to High Dam and the Bobbin Mill is also worth a visit. Lots of nice restaurants a short drive away. We particularly liked the Swan. We also enjoyed a trip to the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis and the junior keeper experience was brilliant.

The cottage is also ideally located for walking or cycling in the Lake District and within easy reach of Windermere and Ambleside.

• "Bobbin Cottage was set in a lovely area, incredibly picturesque and quiet."

  Close to Lakeside where you can take a boat up to Bowness and experience stunning views, there are also local walks (the one up to the High Dam was beautiful). The cottage is just fantastic in every way. The setting, the facilities and quality of everything was just 5 star. The owners John and Lisa were so helpful and checked in with us to make sure we had everything. The log burner was amazing and heated the large lounge area really quickly although we had 3 days of largely sunny weather in late September - so lucky! Sitting in the lounge conservatory in the morning watching the birds feed outside was so therapeutic. We absolutely loved everything about Bobbin Cottage and will definitely return.

  It is a perfect holiday cottage We visited with our daughter, partner and two boys and our granddaughter and partner The cottage is so comfortable. The beds are really very comfortable! Everything was spotlessly clean. The football and pool tables in the garage are the best and saw many a fiercely competitive match in the evening! We were very lucky with the weather again as it was sunny and warm most of the week. Maybe the only issue was that the main house ran out of hot water in the morning after a few showers, but they did cope ok. I would highly recommend Bobbin Mill Cottage for a lovely holiday.

The man that repaired the shower managed to get us a couple of channels but given there is a TV in every bedroom and the lounge we did expect to get something on all of them. This problem with the TV was also in the annexe.

  We had a fantastic week at Bobbin Mill. It proved to be exactly what we were looking for. There was plenty of room for our party and the setting was fab.

Each bedroom was unique which add to the character of the property. There were plenty of local walks. The Aquarium, train and boat trips near by were also a bonus.

  There were eight of us and there was plenty of room. The kitchen was well equipped with gadgets - espresso machines, ice and water dispensers and an Aga, but lacked some basics like egg cups and a measuring jug! We really enjoyed the pool table and snooker table though it was a bit cold in February to stay in the garage for too long. There was plenty of parking in front and behind the property. We had 6 cars there at one point. We did have some problems with the heating and the fuses blowing but these were sorted out.
