• "Spacious, comfortable."

  Everything worked well , Good parking for car. We had a few problems finding the property, mainly because the name is on a wall a little way up the drive ! The owners were very good , helpful and friendly, we were looked after very well. An excellent position for visiting everything in the west of the main Lake District and also close to the coast,

• "Lovely cottage, very spacious and clean with everything we needed."

  Sunny garden with views to Black Combe, we were spoilt with good weather so able to enjoy some time sitting in the garden. Very quiet area compared with other parts of the Lakes. Impressive views from the summit of Black Combe (we were lucky with clear weather!) Thank you for the biscuits, tea, coffee and milk which were much appreciated after a long journey.

• "Our second stay at this lovely cottage."

  Helen and Peter keep the cottage beautifully and the kitchen has much of what is missing in so many holiday let's. We drive an EV so having a charger makes a holiday so much more stress free. One slight surprise was that the socket for the 'granny lead' had been moved to beside the type two 7kW outlet. Our charge port is at the front of the car so the maneuver to get under the car port and be able to plug in was slightly challenging but by the second night was ok. We used the 7kW after the long drive up and the 'granny lead each night as this gave us all the change we needed over night.

• "A lovely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay."

  Gorgeous views from the garden. My only slightly negative feedback would be that the kitchen could be lit better, especially over the sink and cooker. Some directional spots would be perfect. Loved seeing the lambs and bunnies outside the window.

• "We had a lovely 3 night stay."

  From walking in, we were amazed at the size of the cottage. It was so spacious & very clean! Fresh flowers, tea, coffee, sugar, milk & biscuits were a lovely touch, ready for our arrival. We enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch in the King William pub just around the corner. Food & Service was fantastic! Tesco & Co-op is situated in the town centre which is only a 5 minute drive, so that was handy.

  Hello, thank you for your feedback, we are always trying to improve our guests experience of staying at Tower Cottage and we would really appreciate your help by clarifying for us what could be done to improve the comfort of your stay etc. Many thanks. Helen Property Owner

  Thank you! The cottage was immaculately clean and very spacious with everything that we needed. The cursor was extremely comfortable and functional for us as a 5 adult family. The views from the cottage are stunning and it has a really homely feel to the place. We actually didn't want to leave after 7 nights. We would certainly recommend Tower cottage and hopefully will return again soon. A very lovely place to stay.

  Thank you Joanne for your lovely comments we will look forward to seeing you all again in the future. Property Owner

  The property is in a lovely tranquil location. It is spacious yet still characterful and homely, it is always clean and has every thing you need to enjoy a relaxing holiday, including plenty of milk and lovely biscuits on arrival which is appreciated. It was a lovely bonus to be sat at the large dining table and have the lambs come and look in the window.

• "Excellent accomodation, lovely views, clean and comfortable."

  Actually found it even better than listed, much more space than expected. Easy to communicate with owner. Only issue to be aware of is distance from some lake district attractions but this did not detract from the holiday and would definately book again. Highly recommended.

• "We stayed at the Tower Cottage over the New Year weekend and we absolutely loved it."

  It was exceptionally clean and such a lovely place to stay with ample space for a family of 7. I dealt with the owner Helen prior to arriving who was very helpful and also left us some home comforts (Teabags, Coffee, Sugar, Milk, Biscuits and even a bottle of Prosecco) which we all felt was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. The cottage was equipped with everything you need from kitchen essentials, cleaning essentials, baby/toddler essentials etc. Not many TV channels, although we did bring our fire stick and made use of the free wifi to connect to, although we did notice a selection of DVD’s to choose from. The only minor downside for me personally was that I didn’t sleep particularly well on the pull out bed; it was very hard due to mattress being quite thin, and so I ended up sleeping on the floor instead, hence not sleeping well. However everyone else seemed to sleep well with no complaints and my husband actually said it was the comfiest bed he’d ever slept in (Single Beds) As a family we said that we would definitely consider returning another time and again thank you to Helen and Peter for opening up your home.

  Hello Rebecca, thank you for your feedback about your stay at Tower Cottage, it was helpful to receive it. I have noted your comments about the bed and we have replaced the mattress, thank you for drawing this to our attention. I do hope that you and your family will visit Tower Cottage again. Best wishes, Helen Property Owner

• "We had a really good time at the cottage, so thank you very much for making us welcome."

  The cottage was spacious, the garden and yard were both very well used and the view was excellent. The location was good for a quiet holiday away from the bustle of the main Lake District areas. We felt some of the facilities were a bit dated, such as the TV (we are now used to a large smart TV!). We felt this was reflected in the price, however. Minor niggles were: Car grounded on pothole at exit to road. Oven door hard to shut. Bathroom door squeaked. Wifi died in the middle of the week but the effect of that was modest, partly as we were blessed with weather which made outdoor activities tempting.

  The owners were friendly and helpful and everything we needed was there, despite the covid limitations. The garden it was lovely and peaceful to sit out in with the sheep in the field next door. The only slight issue was that my mother and sister found the single bed mattresses saggy and not very comfortable, so maybe time for new ones? Even so I would recommend the cottage, we had a fab time.

• "We have just returned home after spending a week at Tower Cottage and it has been superb."

  The owners were on hand if needed and were extremely accomodating. The views are amazing and our kids loved watching the train at the end of the drive. The only downside was that the cottage would benefit from a tumble dryer, simply for the days when washing couldn't be dried outside. We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely stay there again.

  It is spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable with lovely views. Everything you need is provided and milk is in the fridge with tea and coffee in the cupboard. The location is within easy reach of the coast and the lower lakes and even though it was out of season we found plenty of things to do. We recommend The King Billy Restaurant nearby, the food was really good and the chef is quite a character! If you are thinking of booking do not hesitate.
