“The Hayloft is decorated and furnished to a high standard.”

.Unfortunately the premises next door is a commercial laundrette. Working 7days a week from 7am -7pm. The laundry dryer ventilation system is aimed at the same level , to the sky lights at the hayloft ... The fibres and warm air , from the flues fill the hayloft, therefore you must close all skylights in the property, not ideal, when the outside temperature is 29 degrees. With no balcony or outside area the hayloft is very restrictive .

“Directions to property need updating.”

No Lakelovers office next door and fireplace shop now a laundry. Makes it less easy to spot the front door. The laundry that is now next door is quite obtrusive. The machines start between 8 and 9 everyday until the evening and can be heard in the hayloft. If the skylights on that side of the property are left open, then the warm air and fluff from the vents gets blown in. This reduces the”luxury “ feel of the apartment and meant we could not leave them open during what was thankfully a very hot week. A small coffee table would be handy as would a clothes horse as the washing machine has no drying function (that I could see). No instructions on rubbish or recycling so brought the plastic home.

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback on your recent stay at Hayloft. We are glad to hear you had a wonderful stay and rated it 4/5. We thank you for your comments, your feedback helps us to make improvements where needed. We have looked at the directions today and amended them slightly to make them more direct. The Lakelovers Maintenance/Housekeeping office which used to be located next door has moved to Ambleside and a private launderette is now in place of Cumbria Fireplaces and they are open business hours 9am â 6pm. We are sorry this change in business next door affected your stay at Hayloft. Hayloft does not have a dryer for space reasons however a drying horse is stored in the cupboard next to the TV in the property, we are sorry you could not locate this. There is also no recycling at Hayloft, however for future reference Booths Supermarket collects Plastic, Cardboard and Paper Recycling and in Broad Street Car Park in Windermere they collect glass, cans, paper and cardboard. Thanks again for your comments and we hope we can welcome you back to the lakes in the future Owner relations

“This place is genuinely so nice, I think the swanky kitchen and bathroom have got to be the standouts.”

“A very nice 'cottage'.”

It was perfect for what we wanted - a cosy cottage for two within walking distance of the shops and pubs / bars etc. in Windermere. Woodburning stove very good. Bed very comfortable. Excellent bath and shower. We'll definitely consider coming back to the Hayloft in the future. Thank you. Nb. thanks to Karl and your services team who managed to open a broken washing machine on the day of our departure and retrieve our clothes which were still in the machine! The guys came over very quickly. Much appreciated.

“The location is ideal, walking distance for Bowness as well as all the amenities for Windermere.”

The layout and decor is fabulous, very high quality and we very much relaxed during our stay here. Definitely coming back to the Hayloft. The pub around the corner also serves great food too.
