“A beautiful house set in the spectacular troutbeck valley.”

A perfect place for a group of eight including our family dog. The house is spotlessly clean and very welcoming. It is warm & cosy complete with a wood burning stove and so well equipped with everything you could possible need; fully stocked kitchen with every pot, pan & cooking utensil you could possible require and also a fabulous utility room with washer, drier, clothes airier, iron & ironing board, boot rack etc, etc. The piano in the dining room was also an added bonus! Ideally situated ...

A perfect place for a group of eight including our family dog. The house is spotlessly clean and very welcoming.

Ideally situated between Windermere & Ambleside should you require shops etc, but far enough away for peace and tranquility. Only a five minute walk to two fabulous country pubs that each have a wonderful menu - what’s not to love! We had a fabulous time at Robin Cottage & will most definitely return.

“Another stay at this lovely house, with loads of character.”

Very comfortable and the standard of cleaning was excellent. In the old village of Troutbeck, which has amazing views and quieter than the more well known parts of the Lakes. The Mortal Man pub is a short walk and does really good food. The house has loads of space and the kitchen is well equipped.

“Excellent stay at Robin's Cottage.”

Exactly as advertised. Spacious, clean, very well equipped. Surrounded by gorgeous nature. 5 mins walk from 2 great local pubs. Close to Windermere, Ambleside etc. Nothing bad to say at all. Very happy with the whole experience, from booking and communication, to the cottage itself. Would 100% book again.

“The cottage was very spacious and had great facilities.”

The location was really lovely with some great views and easy access to activities we wanted to do. There were two great pubs in the village and the tea rooms were also much appreciated.

“My family and I (parents, 2 brothers, fiancee, sister-in-law, 2 year old son and 2 Irish setters) had a wonderful stay at Robin cottage.”

Really well equipped, stunning surroundings, big garden and really clean. We can't really fault the property and will definitely return! Not in the owners of Robin cottage's control but there is a dog in a neighbouring garden that barks incessantly during the day, it must drive the locals mad!

Mark February 2024

“We arrived to find the fridge in the kitchen hadn’t been cleaned.”

There were food remains and stale milk stains. There were also lots of dead flies on the carpets and window ledges upstairs suggesting it hasn’t been recently vacuumed or dusted. I called Sykes and reported it and was supposed to be be getting a call back but I didn’t receive one. There was a v large plastic camping container containing a liquid on the kitchen bench which we moved, no hand soaps in loos or washing up liquid. The only cleaning product was a kitchen degreaser spray so I used this to clean the fridge. We also had to bleed the radiators as v few came on fully. We’ve stayed here before and love the house/location but the cleanliness, maintenance and customer service was lacking this time.

- Mark, February 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments. We apologise for the issue that you experienced in regards to the kitchen and the flies. We will ensure that our high standards continue to be met. Thank you- The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Owners comment: we were disappointed to read this and have also asked Lakelovers to follow up. We visited ourselves for Easter 2024 and did not find any problems with the cleanliness. Property Owner

Hayley December 2023

“We loved Robin Cottage.”

Was a bit dubious concerning the cleanliness when reading past reviews but we found it spotless ! Large comfortable house in a perfect setting, quiet with beautiful views. Lovely and warm too ! Only thing lacking was a folding clothes airer. Would love to go back.

- Hayley, December 2023

Owners comment: Thanks for your feedback , we have replaced the clothes airer! Property Owner
John November 2023

“Yet another amazing stay at this lovely house.”

We just love it here. Set in a perfect location and a few minutes walk to the Mortal Man, which we highly recommend. Cleaning was excellent again, the large house has loads of character and is very homely and comfortable. One small point, there has always been a clothes airer, but it was missing. Can it be replaced please, as it was so handy after a wet walk. Perfect place to meet up with family, which we do for a few days and then enjoy the rest of the week by ourselves. Already booked for next year!

- John, November 2023

Thanks for your feedback, no idea where the clothes airer has disappeared to but we have now replaced it. Jo Property Owner

“Robin cottage is beautiful and in a lovely location.”

This was our 4th visit but we were left very disappointed on this occasion by a few issues which let it down badly for us and also the poor customer service by LakeLovers/Sykes. As soon as we walked through the dining room into the lounge there was a very strong smell of vomit. We reported this to the letting agent but nothing was done about it. I bought an air freshener to see if that would help but it did very little to disguise the smell. My daughter came to visit midweek during our stay and again, as soon as she walked in she said “who’s been sick?” There was also a noticeable amount of flies collecting during our stay and dying off each day. I’m not sure if this has anything to do with the smell. The shower in the master bedroom did not work. We reported this immediately to the letting agent as having six adults staying, we needed all three bathrooms to be fully functional. It was finally replaced the day before we came home. The third issue was the front door lock. This was broken and I couldn’t get it to work. My husband managed with a bit of fiddling about. It was finally replaced along with the shower, the day before we came home. The garden furniture is tired and in need of some attention. Please don’t get me wrong, we have lots of happy memories of our visits to Robin cottage but these issues dampened our enjoyment this time along with the lack of concern of the letting agent and the stress of having to try and get them resolved (or not as in the case of the smell). Can someone please give this beautiful house some TLC.

- Rhona, October 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that we are communicating directly with you regarding your stay. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Owners comment: Lakelovers have responded to the cleanliness issues, replaced the lock and the shower. Disappointing to hear their response was slow, we have also raised this with them. The garden furniture has all been replaced with brand new furniture for guests to enjoy. Property Owner

“My wife, Daughter, Son-in-law, two small Grand-Daughters and I stayed at Robin Cottage from 6 to 9 September.”

This is a beautiful property set in a lovely setting. Unfortunately there were far too many negatives about our stay there to recommend your organisation to anyone. - The property was not very clean. There were dead crane flies in masses of cobwebs at the front entrance. On arrival the upstairs was home to hundreds of flies. When opening the skylight in ensuite bathroom I discovered thick dust and ouse which fell into the bathroom. The garden furniture was filthy with moss growing out of it and the chairs and table were in a dangerous state, with broken slats and rough wood which could have easily caused skelf injuries. There was a lack of knowledge on the locality in the tatty guest folder and no local phone number for assistance if needed. On our last day the power in the area was off from 2 in the afternoon until 10.45pm. This left us with no electricity or water which required pumping to the premises. My Son-in-Law phoned your contact number to report the situation to be told that no one was available to deal with our call and would phone back, well, we are still waiting for that call. The property had no candles and a broken wind up torch. We had to travel a fair distance to purchase these items. I had to phone the electricity company to ask for updates on the situation. It was particularly stressful as my grand-daughters are 9 weeks and 4 years old respectfully. It is just a pity that all was not as it should have been. Fortunately the weather was kind to us

- Gordon, September 2023

Owners' comments: sorry to hear about the issues you encountered. All cleanliness feedback has been passed to Lakelovers who have responded and we have been to stay and have found the property perfectly clean. We have replaced all the garden furniture and the information folder, and we've provided a torch in the event of future power cuts ( which are a very unusual occurrence). Property Owner

“It was a lovely family holiday and the property is in an excellent position for visiting many local towns and attractions.”

We had a super week together, spending precious time with each other. However, there are a few issues mainly with cleanliness and general organization of the property - I do have some photographs as evidence if you would like to see these. 1) I had to mop the downstairs floors on the first evening as our feet/socks were black (and the clothing of our one-year olds as they are crawling/toddling). We take off our shoes on entering a property and although I know some families do not do this, it was obvious that the floors had not been sufficiently cleaned between bookings. 2) cobwebs, dead flies and spiders evident on windows and in areas of the rooms 3) storage areas were disorganized and clutter was evident 4) wardrobe and drawers had to be vacuumed because of dust/dirt, which was leaving marks on clothing. 5) cigarette butts were in the outside gravel (I know this is down to previous tenants but a quick sweep of the area would have at least got rid of a few) 6) some items of the garden furniture e.g. bench and at least one chair, are broken and need replacing 7) the outside doormat needs replacing 8) lockable storage area as mentioned on the listing - this was the worst area and was certainly not suitable for any storage of bikes, etc. This was an issue for us and I had rang prior to starting the holiday to confirm that this secure storage was available for use. One of our family travelled on a motorcycle and was expecting to be able to securely store this for the week - WRONG. There was certainly no way a bicycle of any sort could be stored in there without damage/punctures. NEEDS SORTING or taking off the listing. 9) it would be really useful if an indoor clothes airer was provided. We had to improvise and put up an indoor line through the utility room and downstairs toilet room. There is an outdoor line but it is not always suitable to use this because of the rain showers, etc. 10) we had to clean out the tumble dryer filter as it was full (and I mean full) of lint. This was also evident on the pipe exit on the outside wall. A fire risk. 11) during one of the days of our stay, cold water was not available. On speaking to Judith (next door) and several of the locals, this happens regularly. It would be useful if there was an information sheet in the Cottage, stating this issue and any other important information, so that tenants can fill some bottles/saucepans of water in case this happens during their stay. I have read through previous reviews online and in the guest comment books in the cottage and it seems that cleanliness, above anything else, is an ongoing issue. It is such a shame as Robin Cottage, as said before, is a delightful accommodation in a beautiful area.

- Julie, August 2023

Owners' comment: sorry to hear about the problems you encountered. All cleanliness issues have been escalated to lakelovers who have responded and we are satisfied that recent online reviews/guestbook comments and our own experience holidaying here for Easter 2024 have demonstrated that the cleaning standards are high. (We were also staying in Robin cottage 2 weeks before this review was published and did not feel the cleanliness was as described here) We've replaced all garden furniture. We've cleared out all storage areas including the outdoor store. We've also replaced the indoor clothes airer which and gone missing and all the doormats including external doormats. Thanks for your feedback. Robin cottage is a beautiful cottage and has many lovely reviews and comments in the guest book, we also have many guests who enjoy visiting year after year, we do hope this review does not put people off booking it again, as we feel it is excessively critical.

“Our third visit to Robin Cottage and we had another very enjoyable stay.”

The cottage has plenty of room for everyone, dogs included, and a lovely garden to sit in. Weather mixed but plenty to do in the Lake District come rain or sunshine. Thank you.

“Fantastic property in beautiful location.”

Well equipped with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay for all of us with my 82 years old mum. We had a fabulous time. The only downside, there were hairs in bed linens and we felt they were not washed. Kiran

“Had a great week at Robin Cottage, our second visit, to celebrate my mum’s 90th birthday.”

The cottage had everything we needed for a warm and comfortable stay. We had some rain but not enough to stop us getting out and about and enjoying the walks in and around Troutbeck.

- Rhona, March 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. We are so glad to hear that you had an enjoyable visit for the family celebration. We hope to welcome you back. Property Owner

“We had a fabulous stay in this gorgeous house.”

Really comfortable and extremely well equipped. The only thing missing was a boot pull for getting out of wellies! Lol! Would def recommend, location was perfect and none of us wanted to come home!

- Sacha, March 2023

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and were able to enjoy all that the area has to offer. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

“This is a very large cottage that is full of character, in the peaceful village of Troutbeck.”

The kitchen is very big, well equipped and great for large family meals. There are some good walks straight out of the door and two pubs within a few minutes walk. Would particularly recommend the Mortal Man, great food and very friendly. This was our 7th visit and already booked for next year, I think that says it all.

- John, November 2022

Always a pleasure to read your comments, thanks for your many visits to Robin cottage Property Owner
Jonathan October 2022

“The property is spacious and in a fantastic location.”

We had all the space we needed for an extended family group. Unfortunately, a number of factors let it down. The biggest issue was the beds. All of them were uncomfortable and we all suffered from poor sleep. I was woken around 5 times per night due to discomfort and was tired for the whole week. The mattresses look like they are old and urgently need replacing. This was the single biggest issue for me. The cleanliness and condition of the house was also an issue. We had a minor infestation of small flies in the main bathroom, which we dealt with. There were scuffs and marks in most rooms plus damaged wall paper and dents in walls in a number of places. The carpets are tired and the sofas in the lounge are also looking a bit worse for wear. Other small issues, like the fact that the toilet seat in the downstairs toilet won't stay up, highlight that a number of smaller jobs are just being left. With a lick of paint, new mattresses and a general tidy up the house would be amazing.

Paul August 2022

“First the location was brilliant and the garden was just what we expected.”

First impressions were of a good level of surface cleanliness but there were lots of grubby marks on light switches, contact points and all the windows need a really good wash down . The colour coded chopping boards in the kitchen were mouldy and needed washing. The oven had a baking sheet in it which is normal however this one was mucky. Both our sons are not fussy sleepers however they both commented on how lumpy the mattresses were. We think its time to retire all the mattresses as they are at the end of their usable life. The main issue we had was the lack of any basic info on how to ,for example turn on the hot water, use the TV , hook up to the Wi-Fi etc. we think these are all easily sorted and would have made the substantial cost for 4 nights more bearable. We hope you take these comments in the manner they are intended , constructive criticism.

- Paul, August 2022

Owners' comment: thanks for you feedback, all mattresses have been replaced since this review and the information folder has been updated, new kitchen bakeware has been provided and cleanliness issues have been followed up and improved by the lakelovers team. Property Owner

“This is a very nice property but our stay would have been so much more comfortable if really good cleaners had been used.”

Maybe it is difficult to keep the house clean when dogs are allowed but there was dog hair in the carpets in every room. But the location is beautiful and the equipment provided in the house is very good.

- Richard, June 2022
Rebecca May 2022

“Fantastic property, lots of space, comfortable and well equipped.”

Perfect location between 2 great pubs and lots of walks from the door. We will definitely be booking this accommodation again - it had everything we needed for a great, relaxing holiday. My only suggestion would be to leave some logs for the first night as if arriving late it would be nice to be able to light a fire.

- Rebecca, May 2022
Megan April 2022

“Beautiful cottage perfect for a family getaway.”

The gardens are also stunning with a backdrop to enjoy! The house was much bigger than expected, giving the whole family space for the week. Great location and close to Ambleside, Windermere and two good pubs. Only feedback would be to have some basics in the kitchen such as salt and pepper, maybe some history of the house too! The week flew by, thank you for having us!

“Absolutely loved staying at Robin cottage.”

There having everything you could need. Games for the kids(when its raining!) everything you need in the kitchen. The piano was a massive hit on our stay and the garden is a beautiful place to be, especially when the suns out. The location was perfect for us, has beautiful walks straight out of the cottage and not too far from anything to drive too. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you so

“Just love staying here and everything was perfect.”

Nice to be able to share it with some of our family for a few days, as well. I think this was our 6th stay and already booked for next year. So many memories over those years, family, Grandchildren and our lovely Labradors (sadly no longer with us).

Claire October 2021

“We have used Lake Lovers for many years and have had some great holidays and experiences.”

This year, we were disappointed and frustrated by having to persistently try to get through to the telephone number of the office to help us with a problem. We rang around 8 times and the phone was automatically answered and then cut us off. When it finally put us through I was then put in a queue for 6 minutes waiting to talk to someone. All of this took up our holiday time and is really poor customer service. The cottage did not have enough towels in for our party of 8 with two full sets missing, which we had to cope with for two days until we could get hold of you. We were also only left one tea towel which is hardly enough or very hygienic for one full week's holiday. Although the towel situation was rectified, nothing was done to supply further tea-towels so we had to buy some. The cottage was left in a reasonable condition however there were dead flies etc in the main bathroom and the landing window was full of cobwebs and dead bugs. This is not the standard we have come to expect of our Lake Lovers experiences and we hope that this is not an indication of Sykes Holidays approach.

- Claire, October 2021
Julie September 2021

“Lovely cottage, super quiet location.”

Plenty of walks on doorstep and handy for Windermere, Ambleside etc. Cottage is very spacious and well equipped. Our only fault was on stripping beds on departure, the quilts really need renewing. They are very stained and fit for the bin. Overall a great holiday

- Julie, September 2021
Deborah July 2021

“Lovely cottage to stay in as a family , plenty of crockery pans etc.”

We took 4 bikes but couldn’t put in the shed as it was full of rubbish , we kept them locked up outside. Had a problem with a toilet and the maintenance people came out very quickly . Lovely walks and peaceful location. Would of liked some recliner chairs for the back garden . We took our own fire pit . Very busy everywhere couldn’t book a table in a restaurant just had to que , but guessing this is due to everyone having holidays in the uk .

- Deborah, July 2021
Lisa June 2021

“Well equipped house with lovely garden.”

Spacious with new bathrooms/ ensuites. Bath mats would be nice. Have a dislike of being able to see a bed base which is the case in the largest bedroom. Small wardrobe in here - some drawers would be welcome in that particular bedroom. Troutbeck is a quiet village with lovely walks right on your doorstep. Facilities within easy reach.

“Failure of provision of basic items in the ‘welcome’ pack and lack of bath mats.”

Only one laundry tablet ever provided.

John December 2020

“We love Robin Cottage and have stayed many times.”

Can’t give the higher ratings this time, as the heating was off when we arrived, dead flies all over the landing and several weeks post on the floor. The original cleaning was very good, but that was obviously a few weeks ago and nobody had been back before we arrived.

- John, December 2020

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear your comments regarding cleanliness and no heating at the cottage. I have spoken to Lakelovers and they will look into the heating issue as soon as possible. I have also passed your comments onto the housekeeping team to address your concerns. As the cottage hadn't been in use due to lockdown in November this may have caused the issues you encountered. I hope this doesn't deter you from revisiting Robin Cottage and hope to see you again in the near future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Property Owner
