    “The cottage was functional but neglected.”

    It was clean and tidy inside and had most things needed. However it just lacked the finishing touches that would have made it worth the money. The furniture was an assortment and simply didn’t match. There were no rugs. The pictures on the wall were bizarre. The towels are old and worn and need replacing with proper bath towels. A clothes stand for drying clothes inside would be useful. The garden needs a good tidying up as it is overgrown and the washing line needs replacing. The cupboards ...

    It was clean and tidy inside and had most things needed. However it just lacked the finishing touches that would have made it worth the money. The furniture was an assortment and simply didn’t match. There were no rugs. The pictures on the wall were bizarre. The towels are old and worn and need replacing with proper bath towels. A clothes stand for drying clothes inside would be useful. The garden needs a good tidying up as it is overgrown and the washing line needs replacing. The cupboards all need tidying up and cleaning out. It would have been nice to have some coffee and tea and other items as a welcome. I chose this cottage because family live in Milnthorpe and it was close to their house but it was very over priced compared to other cottages I have stayed in with other companies. It was disappointing having to pay the housekeeping deposit for this property and not worth it. The cottage we are in now in North Yorkshire is fantastic and cost less. Overall, poor and I recommend the owner overhauls this property for future guests.

    Thank you for your feedback I’d just like to point out the property was recently renovated throughout, new kitchen, new bathroom, new carpets throughout, new beds, all rooms decorated and furnished. The sofa is new, less than a year old. I guess personal tastes are always difficult to fulfil. The bed linen and towels are provided by the cleaning company who always get fantastic feedback on cleanliness. The garden has been tidied by the gardener as it had got a little overgrown. Meanwhile, I hope you slept well and enjoyed the local area? Property Owner

About the location

MILNTHORPE

Arnside 3 miles; Silverdale 6 miles; Kendal 7 miles.

Milnthorpe, once an important medieval market town, is located in the South Lakes between Kendal and Carnforth, just a few miles from the seaside village of Arnside. Reminders of the town's history can still be found today amongst the narrow lanes and historic buildings, which speak of a time when a coach and four was more common than a four-wheel drive. Set in lovely rolling countryside, the area has much to offer, with the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis offering a tropical hall and butterfly house. Dallam Tower and Levens Hall (historic and beautiful stately homes with their deer parks, topiary and ornamental gardens) provide a great day out for visitors. Leighton Hall, Sizergh Castle, the Great Lakes Aquarium, Windermere and Grizedale Forest are also all within easy reach and well worth a visit. From stunning limestone pavements and wonderful woodland walks to beaches and scenic coastal paths, there really is something for everyone.
