“Beautiful peaceful spotless fantastically appointed , just perfect”

- Kip, June 2022

Dear Guest, We can't ask for better feedback than that! Thank you so much. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Greystoke Gill is indeed a wonderfully peaceful corner of the Lakes and provides a great haven to come home to after a day in the readily accessible, busier spots. Best wishes, The Property Owner.

“Exceptionally lovely place with beautiful gardens, quality furniture and fittings, one tiny gripe would be the fire check door squeaks badly every time you go though it especially if you go to kitchen during night when everyone else asleep.”

But would definitely book again thank you so much

- Jacqueline, May 2022

Dear Guest, Many thanks for your very positive feedback. We are delighted that you liked Edencroft. And thank you for bringing the squeaky door to our attention; we will get that looked at asap. We very much look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best regards, the Property Owner. Property Owner

“Probably the best property we have stayed in.”

Very comfortable, extremely well equipped with top notch pans, cutlery etc. Beautiful and very well kept garden with different seating areas. Location is very quiet and private. Some of the pictures do not do the property justice. Only one small gripe - the vacuum cleaner had not been emptied for some time - we don't mind emptying after use, but to have to empty (and unblock) it before it could be used was not so good. Would definitely book the property again though. John Wilkinson

- John, May 2022

Dear Guest, We are very pleased liked Edencroft and enjoyed your stay. When equipping the property, we were very much guided by the principle; "What would we like to see in the cottage if we booked to stay there?". Many thanks for bringing the issue of the vacuum cleaner to our attention; we have contacted the cleaners and asked them to ensure they empty it regularly. We very much look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best regards, the Property Owner. Property Owner

“To say this cottage has everything would be quite an understatement.”

From its high quality fixtures and fittings to its beautiful artwork. Four family members stayed here for seven nights, and all were very impressed. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable with everything catered for, even down to hairdryers! Outside the cottage, the gardens were also spacious, with an abundance of shrubs and trees, and also with excellent places to sit and relax . Overall everything has been provided to enable a very comfortable holiday, with easy access to the Lakes, and local village. (Look out for the Red Squirrel, you just might catch a glimpse!)

“This property is absolutely gorgeous.”

It’s so comfortable and spacious. It’s very well equipped and the gardens are beautiful. Hope to be back soon.

- Christine, April 2022

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your feedback. We sought to make it a really comfortable cottage and it is indeed spacious. I always feel Edencroft is like The Tardis: it looks modestly sized from the outside but step inside and all the rooms are much bigger than you expect. I particularly love the vaulted ceiling in the sitting room and kitchen. You will have seen the gardens as they started to bloom with the spring flowers and they just get better and better as spring turns to summer. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon. Best wishes The Property Owner Property Owner

“Despite the weather, we had a wonderful February break at Edencroft.”

The cottage was great for our elderly relative. Although not listed in the amenities (and the caretaker didn't think there was one), there is also a freezer available at the property, along with everything else that you could need during your stay. I would definitely recommend.

- Isabel, February 2022

Dear Guest, I was very sorry to hear the Feb weather was not kind to you the week you were at Edencroft, but I am delighted that you enjoyed your break notwithstanding and that you found everything you needed at the property. Many thanks for the positive feedback! Yes indeed, for those reading this feedback there is a good-sized, new freezer in the utility room. The Property Owner Property Owner

“This was the first time we had been away since 2019.”

We took my 85yr old mum who has barely been out since Covid. It was just the perfect choice: beautifullly decorated, comfortable, spotless, everything thought of. The only issue we had was that there was a problem with the TV antenae so we had to call someone out to fix that, which only worked for a day then no TV again. That was a bit of a pain. Apart from that though the accomodation was faultless. We really appreciated all the little extra things like the torches and the tea/coffee/biscuits on arrival. Thank you very much,

- Lori, November 2021

Dear Guest, Delighted to hear you all enjoyed your stay at Edencroft and particularly nice to hear it worked well for your Mum. Many thanks for the lovely comments. Yes we did indeed have some issues with the signal to the TVs but I am pleased to stay the issue has been fixed and all 4 TVs in the property are now fully working. Best wishes, The Property Owner.

Gillian November 2021

“A beautifully furnished and extremely well-equipped house, providing the perfect base for our week in the Lake District.”

Very spacious – bigger inside than perhaps the photos suggest. The gardens, front and back, were lovely too, even in November. The owners have clearly gone the extra mile to make sure guests have everything they need. We’ve rented many holiday properties over the years, and this is right up there with the best of them. 10/10

- Gillian, November 2021

Dear guest, Many thanks indeed for your very positive comments. The gardens are indeed lovely - you should see them in June! Very pleased that you enjoyed your stay and that the property had everything you needed. Best wishes, The Property Owner. Property Owner

“Oh my goodness - what an amazing property.”

We've stayed in a lot of holiday lets - but this one is off the scale! Every possible kitchen utensil, knives which actually cut, 4 smart TV's, fast WiFi and a full sized table tennis table! Very spacious property (don't let a bungalow fool you - it's huge). Immaculately clean, very tastefully decorated and furnished with quality oak furniture. Master bedroom has a lovely 6' wide zipped & linked bed. All bedrooms have blackout curtains so you're not woken at dawn. High quality 'Booths' supermarket 15 mins away at Penrith, alongside a Morrisons with a fuel station. Keswick and the Lakes similar distance in the opposite direction. Really minor improvement suggestion - rather than having two relatively plump pillows on each bed, could one be swapped for a thinner pillow, so guests have a choice of pillow thickness. As I say really minor point - overall I'd give this property a score of 99/100! Cannot wait to book again for another holiday at Edencroft.

- Peter, October 2021

Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your lovely comments. We thoroughly enjoyed kitting out the cottage (including the kitchen) so it's great to hear that you put it all to good use! A very good suggestion on the pillows; we will get some less fulsome ones and put them in the wardrobes for the use of guests who prefer something thinner. We very much look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, The Property Owner. Property Owner

“Whilst Eden Croft met my expectations there were 2 things that spoiled the holiday for me.”

The excessive amount of sheets of instructions on what not to do and what to do in the cottage, alongside every surface being covered in coasters, place mats and trays left me feeling less than comfortable. On the morning of departure the cleaner arrived at 0935 and sat outside the property with the engine of her car running and hazard lights flashing whilst I packed the car and cleaned the house. As we drove out of the property she had to reverse to let us out and immediately drove in. Couldn’t wait to get rid of us is the feeling we had as we left. As a customer of Lakelovers for at least 20 years didn’t feel good.

- Barbara, October 2021

Many thanks for the feedback on Edencroft; I am sorry to hear there were some things that you were not happy with. The Room Notes were meant to be informative for guests in an unfamiliar property, as well as seeking to protect the furniture and carpets. However we have now removed these Notes from all the rooms (other than those containing information about the kitchen and the central heating and hot water controls) and condensed the key information about the property into an overall instruction sheet which is now located in the Guest Information folder. As regards the trinket trays, coasters, etc I do have something of a penchant for these as they come in such lovely designs; in addition to protecting the surfaces, I always feel they add a bit of colour and interest to a room. However I will take a look to see if I have gone a bit over the top with these! I raised with my property management company the points you mention about the cleaners; I understand that they did indeed arrive early and parked up outside chatting in the car while waiting to access the property at 10am; I have requested that if in the future the cleaners arrive early, they park away from the property until the official check out time.
