“Arriving after dark, it was quite difficult to locate the property and car parking.”

I went up the visible road on the north side of the Post Office Sorting Office twice, without success before finding the narrow trackway to the south side of the sorting office, which lead to to the car parking area and the back door of the property. In normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have attempted the trackway, which involved a right turn and a narrow uneven and steep climb. It would be helpful if the access instructions could be clarified!

“Lovely character cottage in a fantastic location.”

It was very comfortable and well equipped and also had lots of books, maps and useful information about the local area. Good shop and pub nearby and we did a couple of great walks from the doorstep. Also very regular bus service right outside with great views from the open top double deckers.

Great cottage but we did not receive the discount vouchers as previous people mentioned the vouchers in the visitors book we have booked with Sykes previously and highly recommend Sykes

“We had a very pleasant stay.”

House was clean and well presented. The property information folder had all the necessary information which was helpful. Downstairs toilet was the only issue in the property.

“Lovely cosy cottage in a brilliant location.”

Has everything needed for a few days away. We really enjoyed our stay.

Ane July 2024

“We absolutely loved our stay at Jasmine Cottage.”

It was well located, just one min walk from the shop and petrol station. The house was big enough for the three of us, and allowed us to be comfortable in space. It has a beautiful garden area at the front, where we were able to enjoy the sun after our walks. It was clean, and also was perfectly equipped. We truly enjoyed it!

- Ane, July 2024
David July 2024

“No mention was made on the website that the bathroom and toilet are downstairs.”

We are an elderly couple and this was a definite minus. Plus the size of the double bed was also not covered on the website

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We will look at the listing to ensure that all information is correct. We take your comments on board. Thank you The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team. Property Owner
Sharon June 2024

“Nice cottage in a great location.”

Comfortable, well equipped, great shower. The downstairs area smelt a little damp. The towels provided were marked with what appeared to be previous mould stains. Although obviously freshly laundered it was a little off putting.

- Sharon, June 2024

Thank you for your comments. We take all comments on board, and will ask our Property Services Team to look into the points raised. We would like to add that had we been made aware during your stay, we could have attended to try and resolve. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

Stephen May 2024

“Bedroom and bathroom excellent.”

Living room dark not very warm. Not much heat off the radiators. Sofa atrocious. Seat and back were rock hard, so uncomfortable. We had to play on the bed and watch iplayer on my lap top get some comfort. My wife says it was needing to go to the bonfire.

- Stephen, May 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments. We are sorry to hear that you found the sofa to be uncomfortable. We do find that this is down to personal preference. Thank you- The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Teresa April 2024

“Paths to parking area very rough and rugged catching exhaust.”

Furnishings well worn and uncomfortable There is a problem with ants in this property. Not impressed with ants on the dining table, around the fridge, and main bedroom.

- Teresa, April 2024

Thank you for your feedback. Both the maintenance team and myself have been to check the property for ants and there is no sign of them now. If guests do have issues with the property, please contact Lakelovers as soon as possible to deal with them. The sofa was due for replacement this year, and a new one is scheduled to be delivered in late May/early June. Jill and Martin Property Owner

“The cottage was very clean, the heating was not good at all 2 small radiators ...”

The cottage was very clean, the heating was not good at all 2 small radiators downstairs, and the radiators in the bedroom were both twice as big as downstairs, the frond door was very badly fitted and the draft though the door let all the heat out, all the heat from downstairs disappeared upstairs, lovely cottage but not suitable for the winter, we returned home at about 6 pm on the Tuesday and there was no water, I went outside to see if anyone was in the other cottages to check if they had same problem, was nobody about was not sure weather the heating would work with no water so switched heating of, rang the emergency number that gave me another number, both numbers not unavailable , felt very uncomfortable with no help available, so called my daughter, who tried same numbers and had no luck with them, after we sat in the cold for 3 hours we made the decision to return home 2 days earlier, we are both in our 80 to have no back up to reassure us is not acceptable , no duty of care to your customers, have rented many cottages in the past and there has always been a emergency number in the welcome folder, and as for £50 good will payment that is an insult yours Mrs D wood

- Doris, February 2024

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. I can see on the notes that there was a water leak in the area, affecting hundreds of properties. Unfortunately, this is out of our control. I can see that the water was reinstated in the early morning, but this was after you had left the property. We are sorry that there were some issues with contacting the out of hours services, I can confirm that this has now been investigated. The emergency contact information can be found on your arrival instructions email but we will ensure the welcome book is up to date. Lakelovers Owner Team Property Owner

“Great little cottage just outside Windermere - about a 30 min walk to the centre/facilities.”

It's also close to the bus stop on the main route to Kendal/Keswick. Cottage has great WiFi (if you need to work from 'home') and we didn't find there was anything missing that we would have needed! The garage opposite has logs/fuel for the log burner. We loved and would recommend the Mortal Man pub for food in Troutbeck. Only very minor criticism is that it took a little while to warm the cottage up when we arrived, but possibly it hadn't been occupied for a couple of weeks and it was pretty cold out! But that was quickly resolved, and the beds and shower were good!

- Sara, January 2024
Nicola September 2023

“Property was clean and tidy with good furniture.”

Bathroom handsoap appreciated as well as kitchen but poor on provision of washing up liquid and only one toilet roll. When one packs for a holiday which you're paying a lot of money for each day we don't think its fair expect the tenants to have to go out and buy more toilet rolls and washing up liquid! A small thing but makes a big difference to your shopping plans and items taken home again. We have said this before but nothing has changed.

- Nicola, September 2023
Pauline August 2023

“We enjoyed our holiday.”

The cottage is very well equipped, comfortable and in a good location to travel to local places of interest. The driveway to access the cottage perhaps in need of repair as there are pot holes and it is very uneven in places.

Lisa Michelle July 2023

“Great Location A well equipped and comfortable cottage in an ideal location for exploring the Lakes.”

The property was clean, and the kitchen had everything you would need for a self-catering holiday. Although laid back from a road which you cannot see – there was no traffic noise and we found it very peaceful. We took walks straight from the door and had a great week in Jasmine Cottage.

- Lisa Michelle, July 2023
William June 2023

“Generally the property was clean and comfortable, except for the sofa in the living room, which in our opinion had seen better days.”

Beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty of storage e.g. wardrobe space etc. and the kitchen had all that was needed.

“Absolutely loved our stay at Jasmine cottage, we booked for 4 nights over the Easter break.”

I would definitely recommend staying here it was lovely and cosy and a great location to get about and visit nearby attractions. It was clean and tidy and the beds were so comfy. Would stay here again. Thanks so much for letting us stay.

Louise November 2022

“The cottage was well located.”

It is close to the main road and a nearby petrol station / convenience store (and bus stop if needed), but you can't see or hear the road from the cottage. The cottage was very clean and warm, with good internet, comfortable beds and great shower. It has been thoughtfully furnished and equipped, with a map on the wall and information on local walks. The log fire lights easily and there are logs and kindling available in the local store.

- Louise, November 2022
Mark September 2022

“We loved our stay at Jasmine Cottage.”

Everything was perfect for us. The property was immaculate and so comfortable. It was a superb base for a week’s hiking in the Lakes. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

- Mark, September 2022
Steven September 2022

“The heating was pre-set to come on at 3am in the morning until 6am - and it did, every morning, which disturbed our sleep every night.”

I looked at the instructions/notes in the cottage and they stated not to make any changes.

- Steven, September 2022
A W E August 2022

“We were pleasantly surprised by the facilities of the cottage.”

Kitchen is very well equipped. Really nice location, which is very convenient for almost all of the lakes. Very comfortable & cosy inside. Would be worth giving better instructions as to how to get to parking spot...entrance at end of Royal Mail building opposite 'Sheel' garage.

- A W E, August 2022
Robert July 2022

“Brambles and vegetation overgrowing driveway leading to property.”

Felt obliged to cut it back. Parking area was a raised concrete platform, which was also overgrown on one side, which limited width of space, and so did not feel safe trying to park there. Could not find the radio/CD player. Bed was very comfortable, and shower nice and hot although it was difficult to get the correct setting for the first two nights. Think thermostatic adjustment control needs attention. Good location.

- Robert, July 2022
Joanne June 2022

“The cottage is small but cosy, I feel it could be time to update the sofa as they were not very comfortable and the beds are very squeaky and could also be more comfortable.”

Don’t take too much stuff with you as the rooms are small, but there is a decent amount of storage in the bedrooms despite the drawers being very cheap and not opening very well on the runners. The shower room was adequate and the shower itswkf was excellent, there were also lots of handy little touches like the rechargeable torches in the bedrooms and by the back door. The log burner is a nice touch too. My only real gripe is whoever cleaned the cottage before our arrival did not do a very good job as the drawers in the single bedroom were still full of someone else’s clothes and also 2 unopened boxes of cigarettes were in the bedside drawer…not great when this is presumably usually a children’s room (and was being used as such by myself for my 10 year old son who was the one who found them!) and there are readily available matches for the log burner left in reach of children in the downstairs lounge area. Could have been a disaster! The clatter also smelt a bit like cigarettes when we arrived and I thought it was supposed to be a smoking free cottage.

If this was my cottage I would leave a starter pack for the fire and direct people using the turning opposite the petrol station, before the Post Office turning x Other than that my stay was perfect thanks for the week x

Laura February 2022

“Lovely shower, great to have the log burner as it was very cold in February even with the heating on.”

Everything we needed facilities wise and found the kitchen to be well equipped. There was a leak in the kitchen ceiling but this was dealt with on the day of raising. Good to have designated car parking space and handy location with spar at the bottom of the drive.

- Laura, February 2022
Kathryn October 2021

“Lovely cozy cottage in great location for exploring the Southern Fells.”

Shower and log burner amazing! Fully equipped and comfortable. Outdoor furniture a nice touch. Struggled to get logs for the log burner so a starter basket of logs/kindling/ paper would have been appreciated. Lack of information about where to put household waste as no black bin evident just the green recycling bin. Had a fabulous week despite the weather! Thank you!

- Kathryn, October 2021
Karen September 2021

“The Tumble dryer on the washing machine was not working.”

I called heart of the lakes and Sykes on many occasions, also e-mailed, a maintenance man who attended the property but was unable to fix, therefore recommended an engineer, who did not arrive whilst we were there. I did not plan to wash laundry whilst on holiday but did want to dry swim gear, particularly dry robe. Heart of the lakes did send out clean sheets/towels/duvets after I complained... When I changed the bed I noticed that the duvet was dirty, had stains on it also the mattress protector. How often are they changed or washed?

- Karen, September 2021
A August 2021

“The appearance of the cottage, cleanliness and its situation with a garage/Spar over the road were very convenient.”

The beds were uncomfortable - hence our leaving earlier than planned because my husband's back had reached its limit. the wire netting is insufficient support. A salad spinner was the only missing piece of equipment and we had to telephone to have the bin emptied since it was full when we arrived and again to have the weekly linen change. As we advised the young man we spoke to, the remote control of the television did not function properly even though we changed the batteries.

- A, August 2021

We are very sorry your husband didn’t find the beds comfortable. It is difficult to suit everyone with the choice of mattresses and they obviously didn’t suit him. For the reference of any future guests the beds have slatted wooden bases. The double bed has a Silentnight miracoil mattress with an Eve memory foam topper. The single bed has a Tempur original memory foam mattress. Property Owner

“Had a really enjoyable stay in Jasmine cottage.”

Its such a lovely little cottage, very comfortable and had everything we needed for a really enjoyable stay. Lovely location and we found numerous walks from the door which was perfect for us. We will definately return to Jasmine cottage. My only criticism is the driveway would benefit from some maintenance as it is very uneven.

- Hannah, June 2021
Jack June 2021

“Supplies of toilet paper and dishwashing liquid were minimal.”

We had to buy a roll of toilet paper towards the end of our 1 week stay as the one roll that was left had been finished. The only dishwashing liquid was a tiny container that came as part of the cleanliness kit along with hand sanitizer and a spare garbage bag..

- Jack, June 2021
Alison May 2021

“The property was advertised as having Wi-Fi internet.”

The Wi-Fi was almost useless due to its poor speed. The last time I used an internet connection of this poor quality was in the 1990's using a dialup connection. I ended up using the Internet hotspot on my mobile phone which was significantly faster than the Wi-Fi in the cottage. If I had know this prior to booking I wouldn't have booked this cottage.

- Alison, May 2021

Thank you for taking the time to provide additional feedback following your stay. We were sorry to read you had issues with the WiFi at the cottage. If this happens to anyone in future do please contact Heart of the Lakes so that we can get in touch with Plusnet to report a fault. I have worked from the cottage and had no problem with zoom meetings, downloading documents or streaming films. This must have been an external issue with the internet provider. Property Owner

The property

Jasmine Cottage is a pretty character property nestling quietly within the oldest part of Troutbeck Bridge in a small enclave of character properties dating from the 18th century mid-way between Ambleside and Windermere.

The area is very popular with holidaymakers seeking a quiet location well away from passing traffic but with all the main Lake District sights easily to hand. With a well stocked local shop at the bottom of the lane, footpaths from the door up the hill to Troutbeck, and many opportunities to tour by car or bus, you will be well placed to enjoy the Lakes in any season. Accommodation: Part of the charm of this cosy cottage is its size - small but carefully planned to make the most of modern day living whilst retaining the character and feel of a bygone era. You enter the cottage from the back door into the open kitchen/living room which has wooden flooring.

The well equipped kitchen leads through to the sitting area (flat screen TV/DVD with Freeview,Plusnet Wi-Fi, CD player/hi-fi and log burning stove).

The bathroom is to the back of the cottage (large shower, basin and wc). Upstairs offers two bedrooms - a double with pretty views and a single (room for a cot).

Deep set windows and thick stone walls are a real feature. Outside: Room to sit outside the cottage - garden furniture provided.

Private parking for one medium car.

Small outbuilding 30 yards from the property ideal for storing bikes etc..

Village shop, bus stop and pub within walking distance.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
