“Very dated needs a bit of TLC shower was useless and was more of a dribble, pillows need replacing and the attic bedroom is really just suitable for children.”

The kitchen is very tiny unlike the pictures online.
Mr Drake August 2019

“Main problem was cleanliness, especially the kitchen.”

The Lounge rug & armchair smell of dogs, as did a bathroom towel. Everything felt like it was done 20 years ago and some areas now need a refresh. The pictures of the property were misleading and made the kitchen area feel much bigger than it was. The “Bike Store” was actually the front glazed porch, and whilst being a back to back property, you have to squeeze past the bikes to get out. Also when you go out without your bikes, they are on display and not the most secure! The bedrooms were all ok and the beds were comfy. I wouldn’t want to stay here again mainly because of the grimy kitchen. Sorry just being honest!

“When I booked the holiday for 4 nights (Friday-Monday) for myself and a few friends for a short walking holiday I didn’t realise the price was the same as the full week.”

If I had known this I would have taken the full week and stayed on. You should make this information PROMINENT before the booking is completed.

“A tidy and clean house, near Derwent water, convenient to cook”

“The stairs are very steep.”

Considering we had an 85 year old Grandad with us this did give us some worries.Luckily he is fairly agile despite having had two knee replacements.

“We stayed at Pelham House over Christmas.”

We were a bit apprehensive at first as we were planning to cook Christmas dinner for the family and weren't sure if we would have the dinnerware and cookware we would need. The kitchen was perfectly equipped and everything went well and couldn't have been better. The cottage was perfect for our needs once we figured out how to work the central heating. It was a very comfortable and homely cottage with original features and in an excellent location for the town. We took two dogs with us and there were some lovely walks nearby. I would stay at this cottage again. I don't like to be negative about such a nice cottage but perhaps a Christmas tree at that time of year would have been a bonus however such a minor thing wouldn't stop me visiting again.
Mr Smith September 2018

“Pleasant accommodation with original features, such as fireplaces in bedrooms etc.”

, though we didn't consider using them of course, as the accommodation is centrally heated. We needed to adjust the thermostat from time to time as it was late summer and the heatwave had long gone. One of our party, who is quite an elderly person, wanted a bathroom/toilet on the same level as her bedroom, so she decided the top floor would be best for her. The steps were quite steep, but she managed. One minor thing to point out was a low beam on the top floor which needs a BIG notice on both approaches to it. Once bumped into, a notice wouldn't be required, as you tend to remember, but it's just that initial bump that could be avoided. Also a small pan would be an idea, to help with the environment, and we took all the recycling home, as didn't appear to be a recycling bin.
Mr Cookson August 2018

“The cottage was not what we expected.”

On arrival The patio area was dirty,the porch needed painting dustbin stank weeds growing rubbish on The ground .this is a sitting out area?first impressions were not good.Now for inside.My wife spent Friday evening wiping the kitchen over all the tops were cleaned with cif the cloth was rinsed twice the water was brown. Shower filfy around the channels.curtain rail came down.the owner needs to look after the house a bit better,it needs love and care clearly it's not getting it,i could go on and on with a list It's not fare for your customers to pay those sort of prices,to be met with a holiday home like this,it Spoils the holiday.I would appreciate a phone call from yourselves or the owner of the house.it's not the cleaners fault Your sincerely J Cookson
