“A lovely large and spacious house, very well decorated with good furnishings.”
Excellent fully fitted kitchen with all the utencils required. Extremely clean,(thank you to the cleaners).
The reason for only 4 stars is because the leather sofa in the lounge needs
attention,it is very low, some of the bottom seats have lost their fillings, therefore has no support.
Both the double bed and twin beds are uncomfortable, they need new
mattresses
When I booked this property I asked about the hill up to the house, as I
have a lung condition and can't walk up steep hills. I was assured the hill
was only slight, so went ahead and reserved the property.
As you can imagine, on arrival at the bottom of Brantwood Road I was
shocked to see how extremely steep the hill was up to the house.
This definitely needs stating in the description. Because of this we
had to use the car every day when we went out, even when only going
down to the lake and shops, parking was very difficult because it was so
busy.
Otherwise, as stated earlier the house was excellent.

I'm sorry that you felt that the gradient of the hill had been
underplayed. To anyone used to scaling Lake District summits, that hill is
indeed "slight", as it is short. I do understand that for you, however,
that was not the case, and it was too steep for you to negotiate. We'll
re-write the general description of the house to ensure that it reflects
that the hill has a steep section.
The brown leather sofa has not deteriorated. It was like that when we
bought it, low, soft and squishy, which we find extremely comfortable, and
is ideal for children. We realise that a low sofa doesn't suit everyone,
and have provided a second sofa in the lounge area that is higher and more
supportive. I do hope you used that sofa instead, as it should have better
suited your needs. Mattresses are rather a matter of personal taste. We
chose ones that suit us, and after staying at Lingmoor last week, can
confirm that they are still comfortable for us.
Thank you for your lovely general comments, especially about the
cleanliness of the house. We'll make sure that is passed onto the cleaners. Property Owner
