    “Pulling up outside of the property it looked lovely.”

    Walking in the front door, first impressions weren't very good. There was a huge cobweb on the windows at the side of the door and the other obvious thing that hits you is the black marks on the living room carpet. The next thing you see is the small chair which has numerous large liquid stains on the arm and the main cushion. Putting them negatives aside the rest of the cottage was lovely and clean. The beds were very comfortable and there was everything on hand that you could possibly need ...

    Walking in the front door, first impressions weren't very good. There was a huge cobweb on the windows at the side of the door and the other obvious thing that hits you is the black marks on the living room carpet. The next thing you see is the small chair which has numerous large liquid stains on the arm and the main cushion. Putting them negatives aside the rest of the cottage was lovely and clean. The beds were very comfortable and there was everything on hand that you could possibly need. The cottage was dog friendly and there were bowls, treats and throws to be used. There is a small front garden, which is a lovely little sun trap, with table and chairs so you can sit outside with a brew. The only thing I would recommend would be a gate so the dog cant get onto the road. There was a folder with dog friendly walks which we used and found very informative. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Staveley Mill Yard is a former wood turning mill at the heart of the village, which is now a thriving tourist attraction with cycle hire and outdoor shops, artisan bakery, brewery and the renowned Wilf's Cafe. This complements the excellent range of amenities in the village, which include a variety of shops, a village pub, craft shops, a children's playground, a regular bus service and a railway station. Close by, the bustling towns of Kendal, Windermere, Bowness and Ambleside are popular with visitors, providing a range of amenities to suit all tastes. Lake Windermere offers boat trips, including a ferry to the Lakeside Aquarium and Grizedale Forest Park.
