Wythebank

Stayed here many times and will stay many times more I am sure.

As always did not move the car once I had landed, there is no need, everything is close enough in terms of walking distance as long as you come prepared with most things you need. A proper rural retreat and exactly what was needed whilst pondering over a career move. Thank you David and Carol, great hosts as always and for letting this great cottage out for rental. If you like peace and quiet and being off the beaten track, this is the place for you.

Stunning location - a perfect base for exploring the Lake District.

Unfortunately, our experience was marred by several unresolved issues. The property had not been checked after storms well over a week earlier, with outdoor furniture and bins scattered down the road, and the advertised Wi-Fi and landline were broken throughout our two-week stay, despite repeated assurances that they would be fixed. Communication was therefore extremely difficult in an area with zero mobile signal. Heating system was erratic so indoor temperatures sometimes dropped to 12°C, and the hob was faulty, which made cooking next to impossible on occasions. None of these problems were resolved during our two week stay. Instead, we were sent on wild goose chases between Sykes, Lakelovers, and the owners, only adding to our frustration.

Lovely cottage in a stunning location ideally located to visit Coniston, Ambleside and Grasmere.

Walks straight from the door and really good to see the red squirrels doing so well there. Very comfortable large beds with good quality bedding and towels. This is a really nice good sized cottage to relax in. Fully enclosed garden for dogs. Met David the property owner who gave us some great tips for walking locally.

Lovely cottage, fully equipped with great selection of games and books.

Wonderful week walking and exploring, mostly straight from the door.

Lovely home with really comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen and plenty of room to relax in.

Good detailed instructions to find the cottage although we still got a bit lost

Lovely cottage in a quiet location.

Very clean and well maintained. Hope to book again in the future.

If you get the chance to book this cottage do so it’s an amazing setting with walks from door step for hours in every direction amazing for dogs in closed garden and very remote , cottage is warm clean and has everything you could possibly think off provided .

The listing and photos do not do justice to the property.

It was even better than we were hoping for. Everything needed for a holiday was there, kitchen had everything you could need, beds were really comfortable and everything was very clean. The location is super, we didn't move our car for the first 3 days as there was no need as there were so many walks. Even Tesco's found the property with a food delivery so that's an extra tick, and the fighter jets did a fly past on our final day which thrilled the kids. I cant think of anything I would change and would be sure to rebook if we were visiting the lakes again

Lovely cottage in a brilliant location for walking.

The hosts Carol and David were very helpful. The garden was perfect for containing the dogs, which after their post-walk hose-down at the outside tap could be brought in to the utility room to dry off. Plenty of kitchen equipment, coat pegs and drying facilities, all of which are often lacking in holiday lets. We really enjoyed our Christmas stay here!

Great cottage, and I feel the listing doesn't do it justice.

Wasn't sure if it was a semi-detached, but in reality you get the whole property (it's detached) and private. The car park would amply take 3 cars. Plenty of wood for the log-burner (honesty box), and the central heating was impressive: heated the whole house in minutes. Lots of hot water, and the kitchen was small but well-equipped. The house was very clean and the beds really comfortable. An excellent property.

September 27th to October 4th 2024 Thank you to the current Housekeepers who keep Wythebank so clean and cared for.

The cottage is warm, comfortable and highly convenient to live in , the owners have taken care to think of everything. Delightful walks abound locally and you are near the Langdale Pikes and Grasmere. Sarah

Before leaving for Wythebank we contacted you twice to arrange for a mid stay re supply of towels and bed linen but no cleaning of the property!

On the Thursday of the first week we contacted you to confirm the re supply of towels/linen we were offered Friday or Saturday my wife confirmed Friday We waited in all day as you could not confirm AM/ PM delivery no delivery was made consequently we lost a whole day of our holiday waiting in And the result of this was we had to wash our own bedding and towels! We had expected a better service/experience as it was not a cheap holiday we had chosen You need to improve your administration the lack of service quality was highlighted because after we contacted you three times our requests were not fulfilled The property was fantastic the location was perfect however the lack of oversight by you cast a cloud over what we had hoped would be a holiday to be remembered

The cottage was in a lovely spot, was very spacious and offered some wonderful walks from the front door.

Unfortunately, there were a few things that detracted from relaxing on our arrival and caused some irritations. We found that chopping boards were dirty and sticky, glasses at the back of the cupboards were dirty and hair on the bedroom carpet. Although a lot of things were provided there was no spare toilet roll and we had to go and get some on the second day. A bedroom lamp shade broken as was the bath panel and there was very poor suction on the vacuum cleaner and the mop was filthy. Overall the cottage was lovely and it was such a shame that these little things detracted from a wonderful holiday.

Lovely cosy cottage.

Very clean and well equipped.

Stayed 7th June for a week Met with David and Carol who were really helpful and we were able to check in early following a long drive The cottage is delightful and a perfect base to explore the surrounding areas.

Most days we walked without driving. Wythebank is well equipped, very clean and totally private - would certainly recommend Thank you for a great week Dave and Ali

I have already contacted the property owner regarding the problems we have with this cottage.

The cleanliness was only adequate with the vacume cleaner still full of dirt, bed trow grubby, fridge less than spotless as we're the floors. Our major issue was what must be fle bites, we rent cottages on a regular bases and are very careful with liberal use of midge spray and not leaving windows open. These bits are in place's midges don't get to and more unpleasent. Our two dogs were well medicated for tick & flea two weeks before the holiday so not to blame and also ended up scratching profusely by the end of the week. We have had to was everything before bringing it back into our home.

We live in Cornwall and have been visiting the Lake District for many years (now in our mid 60's we calculate around 25 trips) and Wythebank is by far the best appointed cottage that we have stayed in.

All our needs were catered for, right down to a doorstep supply of seasoned wood for the log burners. The property if warm and cosy, the three bedrooms are large with very comfortable bedding, the kitchen diner is very well appointed and equipped and the tiled flooring ideal for wet wellies and dogs. The garden is fenced and gated (secure enough to contain our two very inquisitive Labradors) which is a real benefit for those late night/early morning toilet trips......... David and Carol have really gone the extra mile to make this cottage into a perfect base for their guests - fabulous....... Garth

Amazing cottage in an amazing place.

Stayed here many times and will be staying again many times more.

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location.

Comfy and cosy with everything we needed for our stay. Perfect location for walking from the cottage every day and a pub in easy walking distance so no need to use the car once there. Lovely peaceful setting with an abundance of wildlife you can enjoy from the cottage. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a holiday here - this was our second stay at Wythebank and we look forward to staying again.

Everything was brilliant.

A lovely cottage which we certainly hope to return to, this is already our second visit. Very comfortable with everything we needed and the children enjoyed having the piano to play. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your delightful home from home.

A fabulous property which was so clean and well equipped, especially the kitchen which included everything one needed to prepare meals.

There were several games and books available which was a lovely touch. The house and surroundings are stunning and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending a holiday here.

Perfect cottage, our 3rd holiday there and booked for next year, location great for walking direct from the door and cosy on return to sit in garden and listen to piano!

Excellent location, just what we wanted.

Description was accurate that the drive up was not just a standard access road, House was very clean on arrival and well stocked

One of the cleanest properties i have stayed in in recent years, I find more amd more that this and dampness is an issue.

No faults to report, all on all a lovely property, well maintained with good facilities in a super location, would book again

Wythebank was very comfortable, clean, and in a beautiful location.

The internet even though warned it had a weak signal worked pretty well in the rooms with good proximity to the hub! It’s truly a lovely cottage making a great base overall. Loved the piano too… 2 things though: it would be good to have a Welcome Pack provided with basic items on arrival as the nearest shop is quite a drive - we were fine as we brought lots of provisions! And the other thing is the road (Hodge Close) which runs for about 2 miles up to Wythebank, it’s pretty scary, especially if a car is coming in the opposite direction not near a passing place! That said, Wythebank is well-worth negotiating this road too, because once you get there the charming cottage makes for a lovely break! Good for our dogs too with an enclosed garden and spoilt for choice with plentiful walks through the most breathtaking scenery in all directions on your doorstep - 4.5 Stars and 5-Stars if a Welcome Pack was provided! Thank you to the owners as we hope to be back soon…

Fabulous cottage- really comfy, cosy and well equipped for 6, plus dogs.

Ideal location to walk from the cottage- lots to explore in the local area. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant location for those of us with dogs who love walking every day.

The house was extremely comfortable, warm with a high standard of furnishings and equipment. An ideal location for those of us that enjoy lots of different walk be it on the level or going uphill. Once there you do not need to use the car.

This was are fourth stay at Wythebank.

Very clean on arrival. Comfy warm cottage in an amazing quiet location . Facilities good and maintenance of the cottage to a high standard. Numerous walks from the front door. Three shires pub in walking distance.

It's a wonderful place to stay, very clean and comfortable with every facility we could possibly want, including some real bonuses such as the piano, which with three piano playing children was greatly appreciated.

We would heartedly recommend the property to everyone and very much hope to stay there again in the near future.

Beautiful cottage in a secluded and peaceful place.

Great enclosed garden for the dog and walks right from the door. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The super king size bed was perfect after a day of exploring the area. We will definitely be coming back here in the near future.

Very well appointed cottage in amazing location

For the second time, we had a wonderful stay at Whythebank in Little Langdale.

We love the location, that the cottage is warm, cosy and spacious and that there are two bathrooms with great showers and loads of hot water. We also loved the utility room where we could put all our dog food and hang up all our walking gear. The only negative is that some of the kitchen equipment could do with replacing

Lovely position.

Loads of walks. Comfortable.

Wonderful, well equipped and extremely comfortable cottage- nicely off the beaten track with so many lovely walks to explore from the doorstep.

A beautiful cosy cottage in a stunning location.

The cottage had everything we needed and more, would highly recommend :)

Lovely cottage in a stunning location.

Warm and comfortable with two lovely showers with loads of hot water. Would stay at this cottage again

Lovely cottage, spotless and in an absolutely perfect place for endless walks from the door (barely used the car).

Quiet, peaceful and private. Cosy and warm, plenty of space and everything we needed. Surrounded by birds and sheep!

A lovely cottage in an incredibly tranquil setting, with walks on the doorstep.

Spotlessly presented. A few small issues - For very understandable reasons the internet isn't the quickest, so if like me, you work whilst on holiday, this might be a little bit of an issue. The downstairs bathroom is a bit of a squeeze between the sink and the shower cabinet. All the kitchen knives in the knife block were blunt and need to be replaced. That said these are very minor issues and I would definitely stay here again.
