“Yew cottage was beautiful, comfortable and spacious.”
We had everything we needed in the kitchen and even cooked a roast dinner! I’d read that certain things weren’t provided like tea towels and oven gloves but these were there for our use. One useful item would be to add a dishcloth to wipe the sides and dining table after meals. Ducks were frequent visitors to the delight of my daughter, they’d all gathered around one day whilst we were in the hot tub! The walk into town was not what we expected, I thought either it’d be a road or quite a straight path through fields but the main road has no pavement and too dangerous and the countryside walk had lots of left and right turns. Brant fell is a pleasant walk you can do from the cottage. The main improvement would be the washing machine and dryer, it took so long to dry our clothes and we were relying on it. I think Lake Lovers policy of guests having to take out the rubbish and strip all the beds needs to be reviewed, we did this at 4am before a 7-8 hour drive and have never had to do that before.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give such a detailed review of the property and your stay and it sounds like there were many highlights and memories made. There is one walk down to Bowness from the property that has a road with little or no pavement but generally drivers are aware of the possibility of walkers along the roadside and it is a 30mph limit on the road. If you were to stay with us again you could speak to staff on site and they would recommend a different route, which has more pavements and off road options. There should have been a dish cloth in the property as this is part of our kitchen pack and we are sorry that this wasn’t there, had this been highlighted to staff during your stay we could have brought one over for you. The washer dryer in the property is sufficient for doing little bits of holiday washing and it would take time to dry large loads, as this is not really what it is designed for. However, we do have large tumble dryers on site that if we were asked we could have dried clothing for you. The request to empty bins and strip beds is a request that we have in place to encourage guests to leave properties tidy so that cleaners can spend the time on the cleaning, but it is a request and not a ‘must do’ so we will look at the wording of this in our information.
