“The cottage was perfect for us it is a traditional style cottage with all the modern features you need to meet your needs today.”

The village is great it has more than you would expect in the way of shops and the people are very friendly and welcoming. There are loads of places to visit within easy reach by car but there are also lots of walks. The garden is dog friendly and secure will be back for another visit soon.

“We were really impressed with the cottage and would be quite happy to stay there again.”

The accommodation and furnishings were very comfortable and the equipment making it a home from home - though a wok or deeper frying pan would be useful. Thank you.

“Listed facilities included WiFi, iPod docking Station and Smart TV.”

We had no WiFi all week so no Smart TV. I emailed you about it on the Thursday but didn't receive a response. There was no iPod docking station. The heating system didn't work properly because of the lack of WiFi. It came on at 3am in the morning on Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings and I couldn't override the system. Even though there was a little postcard on the table saying please enjoy these gifts, there were none there. From the visitor book it seems like they were bottled beers and a jar of jam - so maybe whoever cleans the property decided to help themselves.

Thank you for taking the time to provide further feedback following your stay at Stone Cottage. We would like to apologise that the plug for the Wi-Fi Router had been inadvertently switched/knocked off prior to your arrival and was easily rectified. We appreciate this will have had an adverse effect on the Smart TV and Hive Heating system, however had you contacted ourselves earlier in the week, we would of course attended to this sooner. We would like to apologise for the confusion surrounding the welcome gifts. Stone Cottage had a stand in cleaner the day of your arrival who was unaware of these items, and we apologise for the oversight on this occasion. We do hope that despite these shortfalls you had an enjoyable time in the Lakes as we hope to welcome you back in the not too distant future. Property Owner

“Had a wonderful time at this lovely cottage.”

Arrived just after Storm Arwen to a Village power cut so the toasty wood burner was a godsend! Really well equipped, great modern kitchen - the oven is a fancy Neff one with a retractable door - and great shower. Lovely long garden which is secure for dogs and so nice to have the bright and light conservatory as an extra space too. Staveley is a fantastic base - great for walks, has super local shops (Kimi’s Gelato, Hawkshead Brewery, More Artisan Bakery and Cafe, Mr Duffins roasting their own coffee, proper butchers, Eagle and Child pub with roaring open fire). Really lovely owners too - we were very impressed when they got in touch directly to check we were okay as the power cut was for three days. They were very helpful as were the shops in the Village - we were offered hot water at Kimi’s, the pubs let us charge phones -really friendly place.

“Very accurate description.”

Well equipped kitchen for self catering. Great location just wish we could have enjoyed the lovely garden more but it was too cold!

“Perhaps mention that there is a factory to the side/bottom of the garden and that there is some noise from the factory, especially early in the morning (seem to start work at 6am) with fortlift trucks being driven past the front of the house.”

“Excellent property in a good location.”

A fully enclosed garden which was ideal for our dog.

“Within walking distance of amenities and within walking distance of a local walk.”

We like walking - we have a dog :) Cottage itself was comfortable and well equipped I won't hesitate to use again if we decide on a return visit to the area.

The property

This romantic Lakeland cottage resides in a peaceful setting within the picturesque and popular village of Staveley at the mouth of the breathtaking Kentmere Valley, only a short drive from bustling Windermere. If searching for somewhere special to get away and soak up all the Lakes have to offer, we know you will fall in love with 'Stone Cottage'. Step inside to see how Lakeland character and charm blend effortlessly with the 21st century - this beautiful property is a place to spend precious time together and relax. Staveley itself is a short distance from Windermere and has two country pubs serving good food and real ales, Hawkshead Brewery and a locally famous cafe on the banks of the river, a couple of well stocked shops and post office and a whole host of little interesting shops in the Mill Yard. If you like high or low level walks or mountain biking, this is a paradise as everything is on your doorstep. == Accommodation in detail Park outside in this sleepy village; entrance porch ideal for walking clobber. The living room is full of character and a great place to relax by the warming woodburner, comfy leather sofas with stone flagged floor and deep pile rug. You'll find a Smart TV/DVD, an iPod dock, a stockpile of books, guides and maps, as well as films and games to relax with on cosy evenings in.The dining area leads into the neat kitchen which has all you need and from here you enter the totally relaxing conservatory - what a place to escape too. Head upstairs to the beautiful king size bedroom and luxurious bathroom, don't forget the private delightful garden providing the perfect space for al-fresco dining. Location A holiday cottage in Staveley places you at the heart of a real Lakeland community, rather than primarily a tourist destination. The pretty village lies at the gateway to the Kentmere Valley, in a convenient location between Kendal and Windermere. Staveley is alive with artisan crafts and art galleries, but it's also an absolute treat for foodies. In the Staveley Mill Yard, you'll find the famous More? Artisan Bakery, the popular walkers' cafe 'Wilf's Cafe' and also the award-winning Hawkshead Brewery and Beer Hall (selling 'beer tapas' bar food.) You'll have to try them all! Just down the road from Stone Cottage is the Eagle & Child - one of the most highly-regarded pubs in the area and a perfect choice for a special meal out. To stock up your kitchen and explore further afield, you only need drive a few miles on the A591 to Windermere village. There, you'll find a high class Booths supermarket and many other useful shops. From Windermere village, the A591 provides your main route into the heart of the Lakes, making Staveley a very convenient Lake District holiday base.
