“Very disappointing to arrive after a long journey on a cold, dark night to find the heating wasn’t on and wouldn’t work.”

To be fair, it was sorted that evening but it shouldn’t have been necessary. Also, to find no toilet roll at all in one toilet and no hand soap anywhere in a pandemic is unusual. I’ve never come across a cottage before with a complete lack,of anything such as teabags, milk, salt and pepper, kitchen roll etc etc. Just a general lack of any attention to detail or welcoming touches.

To be fair, it was sorted that evening but it shouldn’t have been necessary. Also, to find no toilet roll at all in one toilet and no hand soap anywhere in a pandemic is unusual. I’ve never come across a cottage before with a complete lack,of anything such as teabags, milk, salt and pepper, kitchen roll etc etc. Just a general lack of any attention to detail or welcoming touches. On the plus side, the place was clean and the bed was comfortable but I would suggest that four adults would find this place claustrophobic. One settee and one strange looking chair in the lounge wouldn’t be enough. Dining chairs were very flimsy and slid around the tiled floor. Finally, how about a small touch of Christmas cheer when it’s hired for Christmas?

“This was our 1st time in Bobbin Cottage loved the open plan of cottage and also having an upstairs toilet room saved having go downstairs.”

Cottage was lovely and clean our dog Molly loved the morning walks, not having an enclosed space was not an issue for us personally. We have stayed in Millrace Cottage before but liked the layout of Bobbin Cottage more. We caught the bus a few of times at the bottom of lane. The area is lovely and highly recommend the farm shop down the lane.

“The private patio is separate to the property, not attached.”

This should be made clear. Would have been nice for it to have been gated so we could take the dog off its lead. The parking for the property needs to be more clearly marked. We didn't see it at first as someone else parked in it! A visitors/property info book/local info book would have been nice, eg only found the hair dryer on the last day.

“Cottage was immaculately clean, beautiful views over the countryside.”

Lovely cottage with all the amenities you need. Nice location only a couple of miles to Windermere. We took our dog so some gorgeous walks set above Staveley with stunning views for miles. Only aspect we would need in the future - and this is personal choice an enclosed outside area with a gate so we could sit with our dog but the lane the cottage is on is very quiet so we just had keep an eye on him.

“A brilliant base to enjoy what the lakes has to offer such as Ambleside, Windermere, Bowness, Coniston, & Rydal water.”

Lovely house made nice and homely and comfortable making it an easy place to stay. Being so close to the watermill was also brilliant as quality food and drink available

The property

Originally a bobbin mill, this enchanting self-catering barn conversion is now part of Ings Mill Park; a beautifully landscaped area of holiday homes within 5 acres of woodland and riverside tranquility. The cottage is slightly elevated giving views over the valley, and inside blends countryside charm with flashes of contemporary interior design. Only a 2 minute stroll away is the hamlet of Ings, where you'll find the award-winning Watermill Inn and microbrewery - what a local! You're also only seconds from the A591, meaning your day-trips throughout the Lake District will be simple and stress-free. == Accommodation in detail Open plan lounge / dining room with luxurious furnishings and a picture window. Stylish modern kitchen is also part of the open-plan living area, and well-equipped for sociable cooking. Modern bathroom on the ground floor with shower over bath. Upstairs to the two double bedrooms, plus 2nd WC and cloakroom. Private patio outside the property. Location Ings is a small hamlet near Staveley, half way between Kendal and Windermere and scattered around the A591. The hamlet is only 2 miles away from Windermere village. The stretch of road is one of the country's most scenic, as well as providing easy access to the highlights of the Lake District. Nearby Staveley is the gateway to the Kentmere Valley, with a thriving community of walkers and cyclists as well as a second local brewery to enjoy.
