The Cosy Peacock

• "The Cosy Peacock is a really beautiful cottage in a fabulous location."

  It is furnished, decorated and appointed to a very high standard and, in addition, the owners supply a number of thoughtful little extras which help to get your break off to a good start. The driveway is steep, but can be negotiated with due care and the off-road parking is perfectly adequate. We loved the comfort and tranquility that the cottage provides and, all in all, feel that it was very good value for money. Highly recommended.

  Thank you for the really positive feedback and we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We agree that the cottage is in a really special location - tranquil but still close to two excellent pubs and a fabulous tearoom too all of which serve excellent food! Property Owner

• "Great little cottage."

  Comfortable and well equipped with great views out the back. Enjoyed our stay very much. Quiet location but with two pubs in walking distance. Had good meals in both. On our last day walked into Ambleside and got a taxi back. Amber taxis very good and were happy to take our dog. Very helpful communication from the owner with tips and recommendations. The drive is narrow in places but soon got the hang of it.

  We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our cottage and thank you for the positive feedback. Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage, fabulous views."

  Just a bit of a narrow driveway if you have a larger car.

• "This is a lovely cottage and three storey living space."

  Comfy sofas and lovely bed. Heating takes a little figuring and was set rather low for freezing temperatures but works fine once adjusted. Lovely walks from the location and a taxi £15 to town or posh restaurants. Driveway is steep and tricky so patience is required. A couple of pinch points could be adjusted. I’ll do the work for a weeks stay Ha! We would go again and had a fabulous stay. Roasting chestnuts in the log burner was a treat. Well equipped throughout and to criticise would be churlish as it’s generally lovely. Lovy views and Juliette balcony. Have fun! We did sooo romantic

  Thank you for your positive feedback and we always appreciate being advised of areas where we can improve. You mention the drive being a little tricky and we are getting this tweaked at the top as much as possible - we are just waiting on availability of those who are to do it which we hope will be in the next month or so. We were sorry that the heating was initially not at the right temperature for you but pleased that you were able to adjust it to suit. We manage the system remotely to give a good temperature but it had been too warm for our last guests so I think they had turned the radiators down so even though the system was coming on the heat was not getting through. We will update our instructions so future guests know what to do if this happens to them. Glad to hear that you would come back and we look forward to sharing our cottage with you again.

• "Lovely cottage to stay."

  Everything is perfect except the driveway is definitely a challenge especially for an SUV. Perhaps you could cut back the sharp stone that protrudes on the right side as you are going down the driveway plus the right corner at the top of the driveway when leaving. Otherwise we loved it! Lovely views, nicely renovated cottage. Well equipped kitchen. Everything is lovely.

  We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our cottage and very much appreciate your feedback on areas we can improve. We recognise that the drive is initially a little tricky but it is something you get used to. That said, we are in the process of getting this changed as much as we can to improve the access and hope that this will be done in the next few months weather permitting. Property Owner

• "A Perfect Getaway in the Heart of the Lake District!"

  Our stay at this charming holiday cottage was nothing short of magical. Nestled amidst the breathtaking scenery of the Lake District, the cottage provided the perfect blend of tranquility and comfort. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the warm, homely ambiance. The cottage was impeccably clean and tastefully decorated, combining modern amenities with rustic charm. The fully equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals, and the cozy living room, complete with a log-burning stove, was the ideal spot to relax after a day of exploring. The location was unbeatable. Waking up to the serene views of rolling hills and shimmering lakes was a dream come true. With countless walking trails right on our doorstep, we never ran out of adventures. The nearby village was also a delight, offering quaint shops, cozy pubs, and friendly locals. What truly set this cottage apart was the attention to detail. Thoughtful touches, like a welcome basket of local treats and detailed guides to nearby attractions, made us feel so cared for. The hosts were exceptional, ensuring every aspect of our stay was seamless. This cottage is a little slice of heaven in the Lake District. Whether you're looking for an active holiday or a peaceful retreat, this is the place to be. We can't wait to return and create more wonderful memories!

  Thank you for your fabulous and detailed comments - you sound as though you love it up here as much as we do! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback and others will really benefit from your views. Property Owner

• "Just spent a week at the Cozy Peacock and what a lovely cottage this is."

  Peaceful with stunning views. The cottage is very comfortable with all mod cons. There is also a very pleasant large garden. As the cottage allows pets, I would recommend to the owner that a baby gate is installed at the bottom of the stairs heading up to the bedrooms this will ensure pets don’t stray in the night. Would highly recommend the Cozy Peacock to anyone looking to stay in beautiful Troutbeck, there are also two excellent pubs within walking distance. Would we book again “Yes”.

  Thank you so much for your very positive review of your stay at our cottage. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your time there and agree that Troutbeck is a beautiful place. We will look into your suggestion of a stair gate and how we can balance ease of access to the top floor (where the bedrooms are) for guests who do not have dogs with restricting dog access for those guests who do.

• "Sandra is a superb host any issues or queries were quickly dealt with and sorted."

  The cottage is beautiful with stunning views and peace and quiet yet with in walking distance of two excellent hotels serving good food. The drive down to the property is narrow but once at the bottom plenty of space to park

  Thank you for your very positive feedback and we are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you also for the information regarding a couple of minor inaccuracies in the property details which have now been corrected. We are keen to present the cottage clearly so your attention to detail is much appreciated. Property Owner

• "Unfortunately we had a bad start to our stay at the cottage."

  The bathrooms were not very clean. The toilets needed cleaning. We arrived on the Saturday and housekeeping came out on the monday with a welcome pack which was left on the dining table, and they cleaned the bathrooms. The mattress protector was too small for the super king-size bed. This was reported to Sykes and was never rectified. The blind in the master bedroom was Mouldy, which was taken down on the Wednesday. Therefore I slept on the sofa due to having a partially collapsed lung and low immune system. The owners tried their best to rectify the issues but Sykes really didn't act very quickly at all. It really quite ruined our holiday, and was not worth 5 sykes ticks.

  We are really sorry that the start to your holiday was not up to the standard that we and LakeLovers expect. Sadly, the cleaner provided by LakeLovers that usually cleans the Cosy Peacock to a high standard went “rogue” for your changeover and personally arranged cover for her cleaning rather than use the cover cleaners provided by LakeLovers. The clean by their selected replacement was not only unacceptable but also they had not been given all the instructions they should have been, in particular with regards to your welcome pack. The approach taken by the cleaner towards cover for them is not something that LakeLovers have had happen before - we and LakeLovers apologise for this and suffice to say that this will not happen again although I appreciate that this does not mitigate your experience. We want to reassure you that the issues that you have raised have been addressed so we do not expect any future guests to have the same problems. The two guest parties who have stayed in the property between us acquiring the Cosy Peacock a few weeks ago and your stay were both highly complementary of the property. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely stay at the cosy peacock, surrounded by beautiful countryside, with a lovely outside seating area to have a glass of wine & enjoy the views."

  It is a very peaceful location, but within easy reach from Ambleside & other places around Windermere. There is two lovely country pubs within walking distance, serving good food from both, although we preferred the Mortal Man for the outside seating with stunning views. The cottage itself was very comfortable, especially the beds. The kitchen was well equipped & had everything we needed & the bathrooms had excellent showers. Although the cottage was snug, we had plenty of room for 4 adults & 2 dogs. All in all we had a wonderful week at the lovely cosy peacock & would highly recommend.

  Thank you for your positive feedback and we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
