  • "Perfect stay, at a wonderful property."

    Owners helpful and welcoming, Troutbeck is a great base above Windermere with fantastic walks from the front door. We loved it and so did our dog, home from home.A++++++++

    Thank you for your really positive feedback - we agree that Troutbeck is a rather special place with our cottage perfectly positioned for fabulous walks. 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

About the location

TROUTBECK

Windermere 3 miles; Ambleside 4 miles.

The small Lakeland village of Troutbeck can be found between its more famous neighbours Windermere and Ambleside, close by the Kirkstone Pass. A mixture of houses, cottages and farms, the village is scattered along a narrow lane bordered by a drystone wall. Many of these buildings date back to the 17th Century with features such as mullioned windows and heavy cylindrical chimneys and the northern end boasts its own 17th century inn. Close by, the bustling towns of Windermere and Ambleside are popular with visitors, providing a range of amenities to suit all tastes. Lake Windermere offers boat trips, including the lakeside ferry to the Lakeside Aquarium and Grizedale Forest Park. The ‘Windermere Steamboat Museum’ displays a fascinating collection of boats whilst children will enjoy the ‘World of Beatrix Potter’ in Bowness, where technology brings her characters to life. Within easy reach of destinations such as Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains, Troutbeck is ideally situated for exploring all that the region has to offer.
