“The en-suite bathroom fan does not work and as it is an internal space the door has expanded and won’t close.”

- Mr Aust, September 2021
Mrs Macdonald July 2021

“The accommodation was basic but the location was excellent.”

There were problems with the dishwasher and the heating which I alerted you about but we heard nothing back. The property was not well cleaned and we had to clean parts before using it (like the table). A frying pan was also left dirty in the drawer which had to be washed before using.

“The cottage is a good size and in a good location in the town.”

It’s a lovely place for families with lots of things to do and places to eat. Other people have mentioned that the listing is dog friendly but without a garden, this really is something to consider as you do have to take your dog off round the block for a wee. A few other niggles were that there is no hairdryer, absolutely no basics in the cupboards like salt and pepper or hand soap in the en-suite - I know this is small but it’s the sort of things you don’t expect to have to think about when you stay somewhere for a few days, the microwave is on its way out and that was annoying, it could do with a deep clean - I just think the owners could do with spending a little bit of money on it to combat some wear and tear and ageing. But like I said, in terms of location and size and price, we had a nice break here.

Miss Thomas October 2020

“We really enjoyed staying here.”

The location was perfect for exploring the lakes as well as plenty of places to eat and drink locally which meant we didn’t need to use the car for most of our stay and even though it is in a central location just off the busiest road we didn’t feel like it. The cottage was lovely and clean and finished to a high standard. The only things I would mention are that the parking is very tight and took a couple of attempts the first time round although after that initial attempt was much easier. Also that even though the cottage is pet friendly there is no where to let your dog out to do it’s business so you need to be prepared to take your dogs out on the lead.

Mrs Spaven September 2020

“The house is very well situated in the very centre of Bowness, with allotted parking.”

A few details needed attention - the wooden door to the Integrated washing machine was hanging on one bracket (this was removed after a call to the office), the en-suite shower rail came away from the wall (this was repaired the same day) and general cleaning was a bit lacking (bedside table lamp bases very dusty and oven door a bit grimy). All issues reported were dealt with quickly - but really should have been seen to before we arrived. On the whole, a good house with comfy beds and enough facilities for a weeks stay.

“The parking at the property is an issue.”

There is a designated parking place for the property and signage on the fence stating parking is only for 2 properties however 3 cars were parked on the driveway which meant that I could not take my car out because I could not get past one of the cars. This really needs looking into for the future

Mr Dandy January 2020

“Very nice accommodation, excellent central location.”

,needs to have information how to use the heating and also the microwave as we couldn’t work out how to start it even after internet searches. Shower curtain needs a regular change. Parking is very tight ONLY for one car and local parking is £15 for 3 days. Enjoyed our stay very much.

“Excellent cottage, clean,warm well equipped.”

Right in Bowness but quiet. Best of all off road parking, not very often somewhere ticks all the boxes.
