“We had a thoroughly enjoyable week in Snowdrop Cottage over February half term.”
We also had fantastic weather.
The cottage is perfectly situated within a 5 minute easy walk to Bowness. Bowness itself is beautiful and has so many lovely shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, you’re really spoilt for choice. We really enjoyed walking down to the Ferry Nab and walking up to Wray Castle and Claife Viewing point.
The cottage itself is decorated beautifully and the beds were so comfortable. It was great for us, 2 adults and 2 small children (7 & 4). However the bathroom is tiny with no storage so I’m not sure how suitable it would be for children any older or for 2 couples.
Also we found the sofa quite uncomfortable, the low backs and lack of foot stool or foot rest wasn’t to our comfort but that’s just personal preference. A couple of things that I felt were lacking compared to other cottages we’ve stayed in: champagne flutes, wine stop, foot stool, the knives were very very blunt, couldn’t even chop a tomato so this was annoying.
The back gate was padlocked so to empty the bins we had to walk all the way round the back of the house and no recycling bins so had to take it all to Booths supermarket.
My 4 year old also kept falling over on the tiles outside the property, they get very very slippery in the damp weather. Just needs a jet wash and some signage I think.
On the whole a very nice stay but a few small amendments would make it fantastic.
