“This was a booking to visit the lakes while our son swam the length of Windermere in the One Way Swim competition.”
Have to say we are proud parents as he won the whole thing, unexpectedly! The cottage was fine for our needs, albeit rather small and dark downstairs. There was a musty odour throughout which wasn't pleasant at all and we couldn't pinpoint it. The bedroom was lovely, bed comfy, bathroom good although I love a long hot bath soak and I didn't see the tiny notice that said the boiler needed priming half an hour before, so I ended up with a lukewarm bath, which wasn't ideal after the miles of walking we had done that day. The location was perfect and it was fab to be able to walk into Ambleside and take the dog for walks locally, although it was almost too hot one day to walk at all. The little extras and treats were very welcome, thank you. We couldn't park outside the first day as someone had inconsiderately parked lengthways against the advice and left no room, but we found somewhere not too far away, off road. The second and third day we could park outside. Cute little courtyard area and we saw birds of prey above which was fab. Lots of info left for the local area too. Just a bit pricey for what it was (as so tiny) at £600 for 3 nights, but then it was August in the Lakes!
