    The parking is easy and the property is well situated for exploring Hawkshead. The view from the lounge is beautiful. It is a perfect size for a small family or three adults. The downsides are the terrible damp smell in the ground floor bedrooms. We left a night early to avoid another sleep in the house. The twin room smells especially damp. The upstairs smelt very strongly of wet dog. The signage all over the property is excessive and the sign explaining that everything has been photographed for evidence of damage makes you feel uncomfortable and takes the shine off the holiday as you dare not use the property through fear of rule breaking.

    Thank you for your response. This is a popular Cottage and it’s in a great location. It offers easy access to Hawkshead and the numerous activities in the area and is accessible to Grizedale forest to take full advantage of all that is offered there. We would agree with Guests that it offers great views from the upstairs living room. All notices in the cottage we believe are necessary and are displayed very discreetly to assist all Guests during their stay. This covers information on waste collection, housekeeping arrangements, use of Broadband, electrical appliances and information on the heating system etc. As regards to the comments made in the feedback from the Guests that ‘everything has been photographed for evidence of damage’. This statement is factually incorrect. The extract from the notice being commented upon is provided by the Cleaning Company and reads as follows: ‘Please Note – All our housekeepers take comprehensive photographs of the property after each clean, prior to our guests’ arrival. Photographs are held on file in order to protect the integrity of company employees and allay Guests’ concerns’. Photographs are taken by the Housekeepers for the Cleaning Company’s benefit, so that there is a visual record that the cottage has been cleaned & presented properly in readiness for each visiting Guest. This is self explanatory and does not need further comment. As regard extraneous damp smells. The owners were staying at the property the week before the Guests arrival, to undertake maintenance work. During the owners visit a full ‘deep clean’ was carried out and there were no obvious signs of odours ‘of damp or wet dog’ as described in these comments. We are at a loss as to where the damp smell has come from, 24 hours of vacating the property, particularly during a period of warm / dry weather. Guests are encouraged to make contact with housekeeping if there are any concerns during their stay. There was no contact with Housekeeping during the Guests stay regarding any of the above concerns. As Owners we take a lot of effort to maintain the standards of housekeeping & presentation of this Cottage, which we know Guest's expect to see on their arrival. We wish all visiting Guest's a safe & relaxing stay Property Owner

About the location

HAWKSHEAD

Ambleside 5.1 miles; Kendal 17.4 miles.

The picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Visitors can wander the wealth of tiny alleyways, thoroughfares, archways and courtyards between the whitewashed 17th century houses. There are many pleasant inns, teashops, guest houses and gift shops in the village, as well as the Beatrix Potter Gallery, which houses an annually changing exhibition of the famous author’s illustrations and stories. The other famous Hawkshead enthusiast, William Wordsworth, attended the Old Grammar School in 1779-87, which still stands today, and you can visit the building where the Lakeland poet developed his love of the form, and even see the desk into which he scratched his name as a small boy! Newby Bridge is ten miles away and offers attractions such as the Aquarium of the Lakes and Windermere Lake Cruises, sailing daily between Ambleside, Bowness and Lakeside. With stunning scenery and numerous attractions within easy touring distance, Hawkshead is in an ideal location at any time of the year.

Note: Maximum 4 guests including infants.
