“Ensure clarity of parking spaces as someone was in our space when we came back late one evening”

- Mr Mckeever, September 2021
Mr Sharman September 2021

“Great stay with a comfy cottage, everything on hand and marvellous views”

- Mr Sharman, September 2021
Mrs Jones September 2021

“After arriving tired and hungry after a 4 hour journey we found the cottage kitchen was not cleaned .”

This was totally unacceptable and more importantly did not ensure guests safety (covid).Neither bathroom extractor fans or cooker fan were working.Although the company quickly attended to this when informed.I do not feel the company is concerned for their guests safety .

Ms Barber August 2021

“The cottage was lovely, very comfortable and fabulous views and the garden was well maintained.”

The shower in the downstairs bathroom though could do with a thorough clean and providing hand soap would have been helpful. The cottage next door had a different change over day (lakelovers too) and we noted the cleaner/s were there just under an hour, so much for enhanced Covid cleaning!

- Ms Barber, August 2021
Mr Bryant August 2021

“The cottage is absolutely lovely in a wonderful location overlooking the Troutbeck valley.”

It's very tastefully furnished and has got everything you are likely to need. A couple of very minor points: despite being a mechanical engineer I could get the cooker hood to work and the bluetooth speaker was nowhere to be found. But these are just minor and didn't detract from the stay. Good selection of OS maps and notes on local walks. Overall excellent.

“The property would benefit from hand soap.”

when describing the leisure facilities it needs to be made clear to take your own large padlock for lockers otherwise charged at £6 each!

Mr Murphy July 2021

“Building works on neighbouring property approximately 7 metres away .”

Couldn’t use the garden and had to keep all windows and doors closed to try to block out the noise of the stil saw,chiselling etc .Booked THYME OUT as advertised as a tranquil peaceful place to spend a weeks holiday!Paid £1000 to spend a week on a building site! Disgraceful customer service ,we should have been warned beforehand and we would have cancelled,We were never given the chance!!!!!!!! Irony being we actually asked the question are there any building works still in progress prior to paying our final balance!!!!!!

- Mr Murphy, July 2021

Due to miscommunication the guest was not advised prior to arrival that the work on the neighbouring property had over run. The owner had taken steps to make us aware of this and it is regrettable that we did not pass this on. This matter has been resolved directly with the Guest. Property Owner
Mrs Baskerville April 2021

“Not quite as clean as it might have been.”

Spiders webs on a couple of walls and dust in leaflet basket! Otherwise a great cottage with the most lovely views and walks.

- Mrs Baskerville, April 2021
Miss Robinson December 2020

“Our stay over Christmas could not have been more perfect.”

The views are wonderful, so much so that we are booking straight away for a possible spring trip. Sofa and beds are comfortable, tastefully decorated, well equipped kitchen and the quietest washing machine ever !. No hesitation what so ever is needed in booking this property. Just outside the hustle of Windemere with Walks from the doorstep .

- Miss Robinson, December 2020
Ms Barber Jul 2019

“The cottage was wonderful, so comfortable, beautifully furnished, everything provided and the garden and view were fabulous!”

Loved the bedroom window seat. A haven of rest. Best cottage we have stayed in. Hope to visit again.

Mrs Clough Jul 2019

“We have stayed in Troutbeck a few times now but this is by far the best property.”

A hidden gem with a peaceful private garden with a stunning view to make it perfect. The owners have provided a true home for home. Great base for walkers and couples and deer spotting in the meadows below.

- Mrs Clough, Jul 2019
Mr Towndrow May 2019

“This is the second time we have stayed in this property in our favourite place in Lakeland, Troutbeck.”

We do walk the fells and after a long tiring but wonderful day out in all weathers, it is so lovely to know the cosy spotless home is waiting with everything you need to relax afterwards. Perfect!

Mr Towndrow May 2018

“Everything about Thyme Out was superb.”

The accommodation was top class as were the views from the property across Troutbeck valley. But what we enjoyed the most, was being able set out on so many super walks directly from the front door; our car hardly moved all week!

About the location

TROUTBECK

Windermere 3 miles; Ambleside 4 miles.

The small Lakeland village of Troutbeck can be found between its more famous neighbours Windermere and Ambleside, close by the Kirkstone Pass. A mixture of houses, cottages and farms, the village is scattered along a narrow lane bordered by a drystone wall. Many of these buildings date back to the 17th Century with features such as mullioned windows and heavy cylindrical chimneys and the northern end boasts its own 17th century inn. Close by, the bustling towns of Windermere and Ambleside are popular with visitors, providing a range of amenities to suit all tastes. Lake Windermere offers boat trips, including the lakeside 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 destinations such as Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains, Troutbeck is ideally situated for exploring all that the region has to offer.
