"Once again (four?"
times now) an excellent stay. Central village location with dedicated parking for one car. Comfortable and warm with friendly hosts. Plenty of walks and other activities nearby. Three! pubs still surviving in the village which indicates a good local economy. A bonus was good October weather and colours for the second time in two years.

"Lovely, well furnished cottage."
A great deal of thought has gone into making this cottage one of the best that we’ve stayed in during our regular trips to the Lake District. Superb location in the centre of Pooley Bridge. Can’t fault it. Already booked for next year.

"Mews Cottage is lovely accommodation."
It is warm, clean and well equipped for self-catering. The decor reminds me of staying at a favourite Aunts' house! It is perfectly positioned for Pooley Bridge facilities, but far enough off the main road to be quiet and peaceful. Very convenient for lots of walks, Penrith and Keswick. There are good pubs, and restaurants two minutes away.
Unfortunately the open fire was not available on our visit which was a disappointment. There was an electric fire in the hearth instead. We were anticipating a little open fire on the chilly evenings, but it was not to be.
Also, on the Sykes listing it states space for two cars, this was not correct. It was not a problem, but an inaccurate description of the space available.
Our stay was very restful, although the boiler firing up very noisily at 7.40 every morning proved an excellent alarm call!
On the whole, a good stay in Pooley Bridge.

"Great Location in a quiet cul de sac, very central to Lake, shops & pubs."
Well stocked kitchen with plenty of crockery, pans & cleaning products etc. Overall a nice cottage to stay in.
It would benefit from a new bed. Very soft & squeaky double bed which didn't make for a great nights sleep. Ended up with one of us sleeping in the single bed.
Adding Wi-Fi would make this a better cottage to stay in.
Thank you for your feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We have replaced the bed and also installed WiFi to further enhance the cottage.

Great location, beautifully furnished and well presented Lakeland cottage, peaceful yet in the heart of the village. Hopefully we'll be coming back soon. Not only is this a great cottage to relax in it's location is central for some amazing walks around Ullswater and District it also makes for a good base to tour the north western area of the Lakes taking in Windermere, Coniston and Thirlmere and take in some of the lakes nicest towns such as Keswick, Ulverston and Cockermouth.
