    “On the whole good however a previous review had mentioned that the shower was not fit for purpose,the shower head did not sit in the cradle and flipped around when water was switched on, so I called Sykes to inform them, maintenance was done while we were out etc but job was fully completed.”

    .. The issue was half fixed I wanted to speak with the maintenance person and waited in so to demonstrate problems, however this did not happen... And as a consequence the job was only half done. It still needs further attention unless you are prepared to faff around to keep it stable..other issues occured regarding booking and extension of our stay which need further attention, before I can say anything.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your review; we appreciate your feedback and would like to address your concerns. Regarding Your Stay Extension Request We understand your frustration regarding the extension of your stay. You requested an extension on the third day of your seven-night stay, and we promptly offered a price, which you initially declined. You then requested a revisit of the price, which we agreed to. Please understand that it can take a little time for us to communicate with all parties and receive confirmation before we can respond to you. We responded on the fifth day of your stay, confirming the extension was agreed at the price you originally requested. We were then surprised to hear you felt this was too late. Regarding the Shower Issue We were sorry to hear about the problem with the shower. When you reported that the shower head wasn't staying in the cradle, we arranged for maintenance to attend. We advise leaving the keys in the key safe as we can't always confirm an exact time for maintenance visits due to their schedule of listings. Our records show that a new shower head holder was fitted, and the issue was resolved. We apologise if you feel the job was only "half fixed" and that you weren't able to speak with the maintenance person directly to demonstrate the problem. We aim for all issues to be fully resolved, and after reinvestigating, it was confirmed the shower head holder was replaced with a complete new one?. We are sorry if our response times or the resolution of the shower issue did not meet your expectations. We value your custom and always strive to provide a positive experience for our guests. The Lakelovers Team. Property Owner

The property

Set on the eastern edge of the Lake District National Park, in the quiet Lakeland village of Staveley, is Meadow Cottage, a charming end-of-terrace cottage.

This charming hideaway, which is furnished to a lovely standard and has many of its original features, is ideal for a family of four planning to visit the Lakelands.

After a day of exploring, sit by the open fire in the living room and browse the TV for something to watch.

Enter the kitchen, which is well-appointed and boasts an electric oven and stove, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, so you can conjure up meals when you’re not sampling the local cuisine.

Head upstairs and discover the bedrooms, a double and a twin, each with fresh linens and plenty of drawer and wardrobe space.

Begin your morning routine in the bathroom, choosing between a bath or shower over, before heading out the door to explore Staveley’s amenities including a lovely new playground in the village for the kids. The charming Eagle and Child pub for a delightful meal or some local favourites stop at the Chippy.

A spa for local shopping and nearby a butcher, a post office and pharmacy for your convenience. Also Staveley is home to The Wheelbase, one of the biggest cycle shops in the country. The Hawkshead Brewery and beer hall, the Artisan bakery, and Wilf's Café are all within walking distance of Meadow Cottage.

Just four miles away is Windermere village, which is home to a Booths supermarket that supplies excellent Lakeland products as well as numerous other independent stores.

Put on your walking shoes and take on the Kentmere Horseshoe, which has a starting point close to the cottage.

Alternatively, head to Lake Windermere and catch a Windermere steamer or visit Bowness to discover the "World of Beatrix Potter," which is a must-see for fans of the author. All this and much more awaits at Meadow Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

STAVELEY

Windermere 5 miles; Kendal 5 miles.

The thriving Lakeland village of Staveley is situated on the eastern fringes of the Lake District National Park and offers superb access to the whole region. The beautiful Kentmere Valley is just a short walk away and with the River Kent tumbling its way through the valley to Staveley, it is very popular with mountain bikers and walkers alike. 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, two village pubs, 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. The 'Windermere Steamboat Museum' displays a fascinating collection of boats whilst children will enjoy the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness, where technology brings her characters to life. Within easy reach of Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains, Staveley is ideally situated for exploring all that the region has to offer.

NOTE: The railway station is a very short walk from the cottage and runs regularly to Windermere and Oxenholme, where you can change to west coast mainline.
The bus stop (555) is practically outside the cottage and goes to Kendal, Windermere, Ambleside etc.
