Jane's Cottage

There is nothing wrong with the cottage itself.

It is very spacious, there is a beautiful kitchen with everything you need, and the bathroom is spacious. A wide range of DVDs was really nice. The cottage is beautifully situated in the fields where you can see deer walking from the couch in the evening light. but the road to get there had very deep holes that our car (Volvo V90) hit the ground several times. These holes could have easily been filled with a few wheelbarrows of gravel. The path to the laundry room was a jungle of nettles and brambles, the dryer did not dry. Then there was no one to receive us, the key was just in the door. There was someone living in a house next to our accommodation. This woman did not even say hello to us and seemed to run away every time we saw her. It made us feel unwelcome. the yard and the area around the building were an unnecessary mess, the whole thing gave a deserted look.

Absolutely loved janes cottage!

We found the cottage so charming, from the stone work and thick curved walls, to the window chairs, mezzanine bedroom and japanese bath tub, an excellant small but spacious cottage. All the facilities you would need. The location is charming, rustic and peaceful. Along with a super comfy bed the area is so quiet on a night, it was the best sleep l have had in a long time. Loved the swallows in the farmhouse courtyard swooping in and out of the stable buildings. Situated so close to so many beautiful places and small villages, the perfect holiday stay in the lakes. We had a brilliant holiday, our time there will remain a happy memory forever.

We absolutely loved Jane's Cottage.

Very tranquil and relaxing. We will certainly be visiting again.

Loved the rural location and being on a farm.

Accommodation was quirky and plenty of room for a week for a couple and a dog. Only a short drive to excellent walks and towns but heed the warning about the driveway as you do need good clearance on the bumpy driveway. One negative- the pillows were absolutely criminal so would strongly recommend bringing your own or pre booking your appointment at the chiropractors for your return home.

Love Jane’s cottage 5th visit .

A perfect getaway. Comfortable, clean and has everything you need . Hosts friendly and provided logs for the fire and Christmas goodies .

Had a great stay.

The cottage was amazing , very clean and comfortable and offered everything you could of needed and more, my favourite being the Japanese bath tub. Overall it was a very relaxing holiday and the surrounding area was lovely. Very peaceful. I would highly recommend

There is no washer dryer.

So this was a difficult one for us to rate as the cottage and the owner were fantastic.

The cottage was done to a very high spec and the owner was so helpful. We hadn’t anticipated how difficult it would be to find it as the postcode just took us to the general area luckily we found a local who directed us. Then the drive to the property although it did state on the details it was a rough drive we wasn’t anticipating how bad it actually was. The setting of the cottage was beautiful but not near anything and the walk into Hawkshead was as stated only a mile but that mile was along a busy road with no paths. It said on the listing it had a back and front garden with patio furniture this was not the case there was no back garden there was just a small area at the front with chairs but it was a bit scruffy. Also on the listing it said there was a washer/dryer I couldn’t find it. Lakes lovers need to get there description right and let people know how remote this place is if your looking for a week just doing nothing this is the place for you but it you need to be getting out and about you need to be aware of where it is how bad the drive is please don’t use a small car you need a steady vehicle and be ready to be having to drive to most places as nothing is in easy reach. Thankyou Lisa for making us so welcome you made our stay much more enjoyable.

This was our fifth trip to the lakes.

Always around this area and this has been our favourite cottage so far. Make sure your car has reasonable ground clearance for the top of the drive but otherwise only good things to say about Janes Cottage. Thank you for giving us such a lovely experience.

Lovely warm welcoming property.

Very comfortable bed and lots of seating choices in the living area. The owner was friendly, helpful and discreet. I would highly recommend this cottage.

Superb location.

Interior of the cottage is beautiful. Adore the Japanese bath. It is so nice we have already booked for next year.

The cottage is in a beautiful area.

Inside it looks neat. All you need is there. Good bed, good bathroom and a spacious room. We did’n like the driveway to the cottage. You have to drive very carefully so as not to damage your car. We also did not like the place to sit outside. In front of the cottage is a terrace, located in the courtyard. We found it very messy there. In short, we think it's a good cottage inside, but we don't think this place is very suitable for sitting outside.

The inside of the property was great.

Very clean and tidy and well designed. However the garden described in the advert was completely overgrown which wasn’t great for the dogs and the area around the cottage was messy. We also only had one toilet roll left for 5 days and the lane to the property was extremely rough, only suitable for a 4x4.

We absolutely loved our week away.

It was the remote cottage we were looking for. It was clean, cosy and had everything we needed. The only thing to say is it is up a very bumpy lane and it wasn't that suitable for our low car. It just required some very careful driving up and down the lane each day. Overall it was superb and we'd definitely stay again.

Excellent location, perfect cottage, enjoyed our stay.

Thank You

This place is AMAZING!

!! Super friendly hosts and the cottage is way bigger than it looks in the pictures!

We loved our stay with you, we felt very comfortable and enjoyed being on your working farm.

Thank you for the fresh eggs and logs during our stay. The location was so good for us and was a complete getaway. We enjoyed visiting the National Trust properties and walks along the lake.

Spacious and cute cottage situated a short drive from the lovely village of Ambleside.

Bathroom is lovely with the underfloor heating and the deep bath is a great touch after a long day out walking. The bed is exceptionally comfortable, despite the restricted headroom upstairs. The range fire worked perfectly to keep us warm, with good instructions and a nice supply of wood. Although we would have preferred the seating to have been layed out a little differently so as to make more use of feeling cosy around the fire. We would definitely stay again.

Third visit .

Lovely and relaxing as usual Hosts very helpful and friendly.

Such a lovely place, a really beautiful cottage.

The woodburner on made it so cosy.The owner was very friendly and nothing too much trouble. A fantastic place to enjoy the lakes.

A lovely cottage!

Spacious and clean with great facilities and attention to detail.

The cottage was excellent.

Very comfortable, the cottage was very clean and spacious. We were made very welcome. Would definitely visit again and would highly recommend

We loved everything about our stay at Jane's Cottage.

The host family were very welcoming and helpful. The cottage itself was beautifully decorated and prepared. The farm and cottage were ideal for my wife and myself as we enjoyed a relaxing week in the Lake District. We enjoyed staying on a working farm, and loved seeing the ducks, chickens, horses, sheep and goats. The location of Jane's Cottage is excellent if you wish to be able to travel easily to many of the local attractions and to stay away from the busy crowds. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Wonderful cottage, surrounded by lovely views of the hills.

Really warm and cosy inside. The farm animals are a lovely bonus, great to get fantastic fresh barn eggs on request. The Outgate Inn is about a 15 minute walk from the farm. The village of Hawkshead a bit further, 30 minutes or so. Lots of great walks on the doorstep. The Owners are very friendly and helpful, we’ll be back

The fridge and all the pots and pans were dirty and had to be cleaned before they could be used.

This did not inspire confidence in Covid times. The drive was in very poor repair and had to be navigated extremely carefully to avoid damage to the car. Several things were not as described i.e the TV wasn't a Smart TV, the tumble dryer was broken, there was only garden funiture in the front yard and that was functional rather than luxury. The property is comfortable but far from the stated luxury. The location of the property is good and the people nice.

This is a fantastic little (big for two) cottage on a working farm off the beaten track.

Perfect for 'getting away from it all' but just a mile walk from Hawkshead. The facilities are all there and the Esse range well stocked for cooler nights. Owners very friendly and you can get involved with feeding the animals or not as you wish. Can't fault it and was a much needed short break away from 'the madding crowds'!

A wonderful oasis with superb views and walks from the door. Just perfect!

We had a wonderful holiday in this lovely farm-based cottage. It has everything you need and is ideally situated near Hawkshead, Ambleside and Windermere. It was beautifully decorated and very cosy - shame it wasn’t quite cold enough to light the fire!
