“We love this property!”
We stayed for two weeks in 2021 and another two weeks this September/October.
The location of Stone Arthur Cottage is stunning, and the property is exceptional. The best property I have rented in the Lake District. I would highly recommend it. The furnishings and fittings are of an extremely high standard, and it is a warm, inviting and cosy place to stay. It is clear that the owner has put great thought and care into all the finishing details, including the pictures. Having a complete set of Wainwright guides was a lovely touch. Thank you.
My major constructive criticism is regarding the standard of cleaning. Perhaps during weeks when the property is vacant, priority could be given to this. During both stays it was noticeable that there was thick dust and old cobwebs in places.
I think the cleaners probably have limited time to spend at each property, but in my view, a periodic deeper clean might help here.
It was wonderful to cook on the Aga. Great for baking and roasts. Overall, the kitchen was very well equipped. We would draw the owner's attention to a food processer with missing parts. Not something we used, but I don't think it is in working order. Also, given the exceptional finish throughout, a nice casserole dish and a set of matching plates and crockery would be a brilliant addition.
Thank you for another lovely stay at Stone Arthur Cottage.
