    “On arrival on 16th January the cottage was cold with no heating on.”

    There were still Xmas decorations in the living area and a small Xmas tree in front of the television which was in the way. There was some leftover cheese in the fridge and old bread wrappers in the bread bin. The wood store only had 3 pieces of wood, no matches or firelighters provided which should be the case in winter or at least advised to bring with you. The fire grate is burnt out with a hole in it so couldn’t have a fire anyway. The property felt dirty as if it had been given a quick ...

    There were still Xmas decorations in the living area and a small Xmas tree in front of the television which was in the way. There was some leftover cheese in the fridge and old bread wrappers in the bread bin. The wood store only had 3 pieces of wood, no matches or firelighters provided which should be the case in winter or at least advised to bring with you. The fire grate is burnt out with a hole in it so couldn’t have a fire anyway. The property felt dirty as if it had been given a quick wipe over following previous guests, and not thoroughly cleaned. Only the main bedroom linen had been changed. The beds in the twin room looked like they had been slept in. Landing radiator was not functioning, when reported the lady I spoke to was rude and abrupt. The guy who visited was very helpful and polite. The lack of cleanliness spoilt my holiday and made me feel ill at ease with the property which is a pity because the location is stunning. I hope this feedback is passed to the owners. Overall very disappointing customer service, I expected more and the rental price was not cheap.

The property

Keswick 7.9 miles.

Scale Force is a delightful mid-terrace cottage in the Lake District National Park's Seatoller, Cumbria.

This property offers a wonderful hideaway for a family or group of friends wishing to explore the area.

Park-up before entering the property, passing a charming bench where you can listen to the babbling river that runs past the cottage.

Step inside to find the open-plan living space and social core of the home, with a kitchen, dining area, and sitting area.

Cook up a storm in the kitchen for the family to enjoy at the table for six, then move through the space and enjoy a film on the Smart TV while the fire flickers.

Choose from three well-appointed bedrooms when it is time to rest, including a king-size master with river and countryside views and a twin, both served by a bathroom.

Back on the ground floor, the remaining bunk room is ideal for children or friends, and you will also find an additional shower room, completing the cottage's interior.

This location has plenty to do when you want to explore; the Lake District National Park is popular for hiking, cycling, and watersports so there is something for everyone.

Buttermere Lake and Derwent Water are a short drive away and provide spectacular views, lakeside walks, and you can even get out onto the water with a kayak rental.

Visit Keswick, a thriving nearby town where you can visit the Keswick Museum and find plenty of stores and restaurants to stock up on basics and pamper your loved ones.

Further afield, The Puzzling Place offers mind-bending interactive exhibitions and Brockhole on Windermere makes a fabulous, family-friendly day out.

Scale Force is a lovely cottage for a family trip to the lakes.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
