“Last week I got married in The Lakes and I booked the Glendene so I could stay here with my wedding party.”

There’s more than enough room for 6 people and one of the sofas in the lounge even pulls out to a sofa bed which was great when guests didn’t want to share rooms. The cottage is lovely and cosy and very typical for the Lakes. The garden was brilliant and super secure if you are planning on taking a dog. There’s some steps in the garden which I wasn’t aware of and were a bit tricky for someone who was disabled and staying at the cottage - it would have been good to know about the steps ...

There’s more than enough room for 6 people and one of the sofas in the lounge even pulls out to a sofa bed which was great when guests didn’t want to share rooms. The cottage is lovely and cosy and very typical for the Lakes. The garden was brilliant and super secure if you are planning on taking a dog. There’s some steps in the garden which I wasn’t aware of and were a bit tricky for someone who was disabled and staying at the cottage - it would have been good to know about the steps in advance. The cottage had everything you needed for a stay from an iron to towels. The village that the cottage is in is really quiet but a great base to explore the Lakes. The only improvement would be to change the kitchen crockery, cuterwly and pots and pans. They were all mismatched and it felt like a lot of people had left items and were being used as the standard items rather than being replaced once items had broken. All in all - definitely recommend this cottage for a lush stage in the Lakes.

“The general cleanliness of the house was extremely poor.”

The condition of the house is tired with a severe dampness problem and an extremely strong odour that taints your clothes. It was not a comfortable environment to live or sleep in. Refuse was overflowing on arrival - not a welcome site. The garden could have been an escape from the property but unfortunately was overgrown with dated furniture oh and a lovely old mop left lying for good measure. As this was our main summer holiday and bearing in mind covid cleanliness ,this house was most certainly not up to scratch and not worth in excess of £1000.00 that we paid. Really need to question what level of inspection is carried out and the extent of a Covid ‘deep clean’

“The cottage smelt very strongly of damp especially downstairs, it was so pungent even your bags and coats smelt of it.”

At £845 per week this was not good enough. Only over come by leaving windows open 24hours a day.

“House wasn't particularly clean.”

There were cobwebs in kitchen cupboards, some floors were dusty, dog feces in the back garden. In my opinion I wouldn't have called the garage secure bike storage and we couldn't get the back door of it to lock. Had there been something to secure the bikes to this would have been OK as we had brought a chain. Beds were uncomfortable with cheap mattresses band the middle room needs the mattress replacing. One side had a 'hole' in it and when we flipped it the levels of staining were worse than any hostel bed I've used! Internet, washer and stair gates were a nice touch, as well as the coffee machine and quality pans.

“The cottage was lovely.”

A very quiet village and within easy reach of most places.Ideal for a family but steep steps to a small garden area,The beds are very hard so if like us you want a softer bed take a topper.

The property

Cartmel 3.1 miles.

Glendene is a charming, end-of-terrace cottage situated in the sleepy village of High Newton, three and half miles from Cartmel in the Lake District.

Set over two floors, this wonderful cottage welcomes families looking to break away from their normal routines and explore the South Lakes and the seaside.

After a day of walking, look forward to relaxing in the sitting room, enhanced with an alluring woodburning stove and flatscreen TV.

Wander into the traditionally styled country kitchen, perfectly equipped with all you could need for a self-catered break, while the centre dining table offers ample seating for family mealtimes; gather with your loved ones amidst and toast to a wonderful Lake District break over a lovingly prepared home-cooked meal.

Upstairs plays host to three wonderful bedrooms, including two king-size bedrooms and a twin, which can be arranged as a king-size on request.

Start each morning in the bathroom with a brisk shower or return here after a long day to enjoy a warm bubble bath.

The south-facing garden is a real sun trap and offers the perfect spot for lunch or an alfresco meal in the evening, while the enclosed nature of the garden allows pets and children to roam safely.

You can walk to the nearby village of Cartmel through open countryside along a footpath close to the cottage.

Cartmel is home to the famous sticky toffee pudding, an array of excellent gastro pubs and the award-winning L’Enclume restaurant.

There is also the impressive 12th century priory overlooking the UK’s smallest racecourse, which draws visitors in the spring and summer months.

Close by is the elegant town of Grange-over-Sands, home to an Edwardian selection of shops including a chocolatier and a railway station where you can take trips up the coastline, or set off to the southern tip of Lake Windermere at Newby Bridge and catch the magnificent steam cruise to Ambleside and Bowness, which has The World of Beatrix Potter amongst many attractions.

Glendene is the ultimate escape for exploring the delights of the Southern Lakelands.
