“The cottage was very clean.”
The kitchen well equipped and lovely little ornaments everywhere which gave a very homely atmosphere. I absolutely LOVED the bedroom and landing sky lights.
The little garden would have been nice to use, but the weather didn’t allow for this unfortunately. Our dog wouldn’t have got through the bushes to the house next door, but I’m sure a smaller dog would.
The second half of our week was very cold. The lounge and bathroom radiators worked beautifully to make us snug in the evenings.
The cottage is very old and quaint and therefore all doorways are low, as are the ceilings and some light fittings downstairs. We are a tall family, my son in particular. He had to remember to bend down at every doorway and when coming down the stairs. Needless to say several times a day he forgot.
The seating in the lounge wasn’t quite deep enough for our long legs.
I feel sure the 5 foot bed only had a 4ft 6in quilt inside the king size quilt cover. I found the bed comfortable although my son found the single bed uncomfortable. My husband suggested that some sort of wedge to level off the main bed would have been better than the wood used to stop it sliding along the sloping floor.
Daylight bulbs in the bathroom would help to disguise the fact there is no natural light source. We did have an issue with one of the bathroom taps. Fortunately this was sorted very quickly. I think the cottage owner was contacted, who asked a very nice local handyman to come to our rescue.
Eating out in Threlkeld is a pleasure. Booking is necessary at the Horse and Farrier, but worth it, and the food also very good at the Salutation Inn. Both a 5 minute walk away.
The railway walking trail was a great find. Taking you from the village straight to Keswick.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback.
We are pleased that you enjoyed the kitchen and the bedroom.
We take your feedback and suggestions on board, and we are pleased that we were able to resolve the issue with the taps.
Thank you
