"We had a lovely stay at Woodview."
The cottage was very clean and the scones and prosecco that welcomed us was very much appreciated> We visited old haunts and caught up with old friends, hopefully we will be returning next year

"Brilliant peaceful but central location with secure, private parking."
Beds and seating very comfortable, kitchen and bathroom clean and well equipped. Excellent lake / countryside walking opportunities straight from the door and easy access to bus stops plus the shores of Ullswater and the steamers. Local shops supply a good choice of produce if you wish to cook at the property or you can order groceries online to be delivered from a major supermarket for convenience. There are also plenty of options for eating out locally, all within easy walking distance. The property has everything you need for a Lake District holiday - even the clothes airer was decent quality and sturdy enough to dry larger items without collapsing or blowing over. The plug sockets are usefully positioned so you can charge items easily or use a hairdryer close to a mirror - not all properties we have stayed in have thought about such things. We also appreciated the Lake District themed wall art / biscuits / Herdwick sheep etc - the map wallpaper is a great feature. Overall a very comfortable and convenient property - would recommend.
Dear Jennifer, Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. pleased you enjoyed your week Seth Property Owner

"Lovely property."
Very well equipped with everything in good condition. Spotlessly clean. Brilliant location. Only 2 very small points. We struggled with the lock box both opening it and turning the dials. Older arthritic fingers. Also a grab rail at the front door would have been a huge help. However these are personal issues. The cottage is not specifically disabled adapted so not an absolute requirement. Would love to return and will recommend it.
Dear Margaret, Many thank for your feedback, pleased you enjoyed your stay. I will look into keysafe and rail. Kind regards Seth Property Owner

"We had a great time staying at your cottage and the renovation was very nice."
Centrally situated just a short distance from the Motorway made travelling any all directions very manageable. However the choices were still available to experiences the country highways and take in the fantastic views.
Many thanks for taking the time to post an online review. it was lovely to meet you and hear about all you had done through the week Property Owner

"We had a great stay, lovely location and the house was finished really nicely and well maintained."
It has everything you could need for a break in the Lakes. The location is great next to Ullswater, much calmer and more peaceful than being near to Windermere, and there are plenty of activities and walking to do from Pooley Bridge. We tried 2 of the local pubs, the Crown Inn and Pooley Bridge Inn, both were really good. Also being within walking distance of the lovely boat trip the Ullswater Steamers is great. The house has its own driveway so you feel a bit smug driving past everyone struggling to park in the village to your own space which was a nice extra, Pooley Bridge gets busy (we were there in the half term week) so it's a great benefit. Worth noting is that to get to most places outside of Pooley Bridge you will drive on smaller roads through the mountains, the Kirkstone Pass is nearby and Googles first choice of route towards Windermere, be sure to research the main roads like the A6/A66 if you are travelling with children/passengers who get car sick! Don't necessarily just follow Google maps like we did!
Dear Marc and guests, I am pleased you all had a great week, many thanks for taking the time to write such a lovely detailed review. Your comment about the parking and feeling smug made me laugh as I get that same feeling too. Kind regards Seth. Property Owner

"Very good accommodation in a central position."
Had some issues with heating and the owner dealt with them promptly. Could do with a bit more information about rubbish disposal eg when it is collected.
Dear Lindsay, Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. Pleased you enjoyed your week. Thanks for the feedback I will add some information regarding the rubbish. Kind regards Seth Property Owner

"This is a great place to stay."
The house is in a fantastic location, it is spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We loved the map on the wall which helped us to plan our walks in the fells.
Thanks Lucy for taking the time to review Woodview. I agree the map is fabulous for planning walks.Pleased you enjoyed your stay Seth Property Owner

"Excellent property, a real home from home."
Beautiful cottage with everything you need for a great holiday. Off road parking in a quiet location. Immaculately clean and well looked after. Pooley bridge is a lovely little place, a great base for walking and visiting places, good pubs and places to eat on the doorstep. I have stayed in Woodview three times and will definitely be back.

"Stayed for 5 nights in January, our 2nd visit to this cottage, it is very central a few minutes walk to pubs, cafes & shops."
About a 10 minute walk to the shore of ullswater about the same for the lake steamers. Bus stop1minute walk. The cottage is modern, with very good quality fitting’s & furnishings, with everything provided for self catering. Extremely comfortable, very clean and warm. Off road parking on driveway with gates. Will not hesitate to stay again. Thank you.

"This is a fantastic property."
Very central with parking on the drive. The sofa is incredibly comfy and the wood burning stove made the place really cosy. We enjoyed going for walks and also had some great food. Penrith is just a short drive away with a great selection of shops. Cranston’s has a great food hall and is well worth a visit. The kitchen is really well equipped and it was fantastic to source local products and cook. Great shower and bedrooms a good size with loads of storage. We found washing dried quickly on the clothes maiden due to the underfloor heating.
Many thanks for taking the time to feedback, pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"Woodview is a gorgeous property, the gated driveway made us feel secure once in for the evening."
Great access into Pooley Bridge and Ullswater. Would recommend. Kitchen was well stocked, good cooking equipment. Only issue for us was lack of kitchen storage space. We like to cook each night and lots of our shopping stayed in bags until needed.
Thanks for the feedback, pleased you had a great time. We will look into how we could create more cupboard space. Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay at Woodview, it's a great base for exploring without the car and handy for the A66 for going further afield."
The 508 bus to Windermere over Kirkstone Pass is memorable. The Ullswater 'Steamer' is just a short stoll away and is well worth doing. The views from up on the Roman Road are stunning. We would be happy to return.
Many thanks for your feedback, you have certainly been exploring the area ! Pleased you had a great time Property Owner
-
"2nd visit: fantastic property and location."
Only negative (and this I guess is an agent requirement not a reflection on the property), check out time 9.00 is slightly early and ironic given the guidence to respect the neighbouring property etc. Despite this will be back again soon .
Thank you for your valuable feedback, checkout has been changed to 10 am. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Woodview. Property Owner

"Very nice, comfortable, well equipped bungalow."
It was just what we needed and we very much enjoyed our stay. Recommended.

"A fantastic property: perfect for our requirements."
Off road parking and well placed for the walking and MTB we enjoy. We will definitely be returning.

"Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location."
Very clean and everything we needed was provided. The cottage had a very cosy feel and felt like a home from home. Would like more instructions for the heating as it took us a while to work out. Toilet seat was broken before we arrived although the owners did attempt to arrange to come to fix it mid week. Otherwise a perfect stay and we will be back!
-
"Woodview is a lovely holiday let."
It is warm and comfortable with modern facilities. The living area is perfect for two people, with an excellent log burner. The kitchen area is good for self catering, although we found having just two saucepans a little limiting. Also lack of a potato masher!!! The appliances are easy to use with a folder of manuals to assist. The bedrooms are spacious and beds comfortable, with quality bed linen. The bathroom was ok. A broken toilet seat and a well used shower was a little less than perfect, but it was manageable. I think the grouting in the shower needed a little attention, but it is a bug bear of mine! The location of the bungalow is exceptional. A stride from the main street, with all the facilities there, but very quiet and undisturbed. Penrith and Keswick only short drives away, and the Ullswater Steamer a short walk away. Lowther Castle and Dalemain House are close and well worth a visit. It is well positioned for the walkers as well as those just needing to relax. We had a good week in Woodview, and would book again.
Dear Peter, Many thanks for your detailed feedback. We will look into all the points you have brought to our attention as soon as possible. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"A bit more information on how the the central heating worked would have been useful."
Also there was a distinct lack of information on recycling - we took our glass bottles home with us (unless of course Cumbria does not recycle)
-
"We had a wonderful stay here."
The bungalow is wonderful with everything we needed for a holiday stay. It was exactly what we were looking for - a home away from home within walking distance to the lake and the pubs and with parking. We will definitely be keen to come back again soon.
Thank you Kirstin Property Owner

"A beautiful cottage in a great location."
Spotlessly clean with everything you need, a real home from home. The welcome bottle of Prosecco was a lovely touch. Close to pubs, shops, cafes and amazing walks. A trip on the Ullswater steamers is such a great day. We will definitely book this cottage again. Wonderful.
-
"Wonderful property, well thought out space and facilities."
Great location. Small niggle is that the garden is all paved or gravel, which we understand is low maintenance, but wouldn't be too friendly to small children's hands and knees - however not an issue for us and we will likely book this property again.
-
"Fantastic bungalow in great, central location."
Recently updated to a very high standard. Children enjoyed the comfortable sofa and large TV! We enjoyed looking at the map on the wall whilst having tea to see where we'd walked and plan the next day's trips. Both front and back gardens lovely and sunny just a shame there's not more greenery. Would definitely return. Lovely touch of wine and chocolate on arrival.
-
"A fantastic cottage with great facilities."
Very well presented and in a great location.

"Superb cottage with everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday."
Everything is finished to an extremely high standard. The location is excellent. We had a small problem with the front door key and were fortunate enough to meet the lovely owners who went above and beyond to fix it immediately.(Thank you!) Would have no hesitation in recommding this great property and hope to return in the future.

About the location
POOLEY BRIDGE
Penrith 6 miles.
The picturesque village of Pooley Bridge sits on the northerly edge of Lake Ullswater in the Lake District National Park. The name Pooley came to be due to the forming of a large pool, which was left by the fast flowing River Eamont, and the word Bridge was later added when a bridge, which is now 250 years old, was built over the river. Pooley Bridge has many traditional inns and tempting tea rooms, plus the Ullswater Steamers depart from the village, from where a tranquil cruise down the lake to the villages of Glenridding and Howtown can be enjoyed. There are numerous walks with breathtaking views nearby, plus a short walk up to Dunmallard Hill reveals fascinating Iron-Age remains, whilst the towns of Penrith and Keswick are within driving distance. Pooley Bridge is an ideal base for a cottage holiday stay in the stunning Lake District.
