Townfoot Cottage

Really lovely cottage.

Alun was an attentive host. Great location. Thank you again!

Great location with walks on the doorstep and a couple of nice pubs in the village for an after walk beer!

Very clean and well equipped cottage, the owners were easily contactable & responsive. EV charging point available which is a massive bonus! Would highly recommend

Great cottage well maintained, warm and comfortable.

May be a big pan would be good to allow you to make a one pot meal.

We stayed here for a (miraculously rain free) week in mid-October.

The cottage is extremely comfortable and well furnished - excellent wifi and plenty of smart TV options (essential for my teenage daughter). Beds upstairs very comfortable and an extremely powerful shower. Great location with both a coffee shop and excellent pub within 2 minutes walk. Short drives to Ambleside, Grasmere and Little Langdale with many further eating out options. Huge variety of walks and amazing views in the valley. Didn't meet Alun, the owner, face to face, but we corresponded by text and he was very helpful 0 being able to check in a couple of hours early was hugely appreciated. Only point for improvement - a few cooking accessories such as foil and clingfilm would be good: we had to buy our own and left these behind when we departed; it seems a bit wasteful if every visitor does the same thing.

What a lovely little cottage and great location, we arrived with our EV and were able to charge at the cottage.

This was why I chose this over others , such a bonus. Great walking from here, enjoyed the Langdale valley and over into Grasmere. Able to get the bus back from Ambleside after a long day out Really comfy beds and plenty of hot water. Hosts quick to respond to our questions re how to use an induction hob

Lovely and well presented cottage.

Modern with well equipped kitchen. Great location in Elterwater with views to the Langdale Pikes. The owner was welcoming and responsive. We enjoyed our week and would return. Recommend.

Would definitely stay there again.

We loved it.

Great little cottage with an attentive and helpful owner.

It was great that there was an ev point, unfortunately due to the tight parking and allocation of our spot we were unable to connect our car.

Perhaps allocating the spot nearest the point would mean people could make use of it. The cottage and location were lovely and Alun was very helpful.

Lovely cottage in an excellent location and perfect for the 3 of us and the dog.

Already thinking of rebooking for next year.

Overall a positive experience.

One downside being we felt obliged to agree to the gas check during our stay, which, being second property owners ourselves, we felt could have been arranged outside of guest time, perhaps on changeover day? Although many elements of the cottage are top notch, certain things, like the provision of only 1 loo roll for a week long booking felt ‘tight’ for example. We would have welcomed a wider range of kitchen essentials that allow for more home cooking and it didn’t impact us so much as we had taken preprepared meals. We felt it is a perfect size space for two and with four people staying it would be too small. We appreciated the large fridge freezer and the cottage being lovely and warm throughout.

The owner of barefoot cottage was amazing very helpful , certainly went over and above to help.

So a huge thank you to them for all the help and support.The cottage is lovely. All the positive feed back is for the owner and his cottage. Lake Lovers however I will never use again. The service they provided was non existent, I feel are they are now only interested in taking the customer’s money. I have felt they have steadily declined over the last few years, but this was another level. I would suggest anyone booking in the lakes use a company like heart of the lakes or Wheelwrights or go via cottage owners. Lake lovers have obviously gotten so big now they have no care or due diligence for the tenants.

Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our week in the Lake District, and Townfoot Cottage just completed the perfect holiday.

The location is not difficult to get to and parking is easy with an allocated space just outside the front door. It’s cosy, comfortable and is equipped with everything you need. The cottage was very clean and the owners had provided some helpful information on how everything works, which was great. There are even board games and DVDs for a chilled night in which we thoroughly enjoyed using! The beds and pillows were so comfortable. We loved being in such a rural location, and the cottage is a very short walk to the local pub the Britannia (great pub food)! There are also lots of lovely walks you can do close by including one from opposite the pub which takes you past the beautiful Elterwater lake. We also loved how conveniently located the cottage is from our favourite villages such as Ambleside and Grasmere. This stay was just what we needed for a break away from the city and we will definitely be coming back again and will be recommending Townfoot Cottage and Sykes/Lake Lovers to our friends and family. The whole process of booking was smooth and the staff were always super friendly and helpful. Thank you!
