“Hi, firstly we would like to say what a wonderful location the apartment is in!”

We found a number of broken/chipped items which should have been picked up before we stayed. There were no instructions for the oven, thankfully we managed to search the internet. Again this should have been checked before we arrived. We feel you need to improve your customer service. I phoned on two separate days (Monday and Tuesday as your office was shut over the weekend) to say we were unable to get onto the wifi. It would have been nice if someone had followed up to see if we had resolved the issue. It was disappointing that we could not use the TV's in the bedrooms. We also reported that it looked like there should have been a Sky box in the master bedroom. Your maintenance team reported back to you that they agreed following a visit to look at the wifi issues. Again we should have received a call with an update. We managed to set the fire alarm off, when I phoned I was surprised that the lady who answered didn't have a full inventory of the apartment, or know how to turn it off. In the end I phoned three times. We appreciate that the building is quite old, but there appears to be damp on the walls in the fireplace in the master bedroom.

“A beautiful property , perfect for our holiday plans.”

Disappointed that WIFI only available in one room. Would love to think we’ll return.

“Excellent stay.”

Only issue is wifi router in bedroom means the signal doesn’t reach the living room where you would typically sit. A mesh wifi like eero would solve the problem.

“A near perfect cottage for a beautiful and quiet stay, with a perfect view too.”

Being in a quiet village at literal stone's throw from the Mortal Man and the Queen's head is great. We'll likely come back to this one. Only comment I could make is that the WIFI is finicky, that could take some good looking at.

“Applethwaite View is beautifully presented.”

Clean and tidy and well equipped. The view is astounding and location is great for walks. If there was anything we could suggest it would be additional pillows as we prefer plumper pillows, however that truly is all we could suggest. Great stay and would 100% recommend!

“To be honest it wasn’t the cleanest a lot of cobwebs,my wife decided just to cook some sausages for sandwiches went to put extractor fan on but it didn’t work,we opened front and rear doors but it was too late smoke detector was going off.”

No paper work to tell us how to stop it as it was hard wired phoned number on my email office closed only a number for critical emergencies this was not good enough.I had to remove face of smoke detector and pull wire off but this still left lights flashing all night.Had to phone next day after very little sleep and both items were repaired but it was clear to me the extractor had not been checked prior to our arrival,this unfortunately put us off using the cooking facilities which really defeated the object of self catering.This cottage was in a great location with superb views but a simple flick of a switch to make sure something was working would have made a lot of difference sorry

“This is a great property in nice quiet location away from the tourist bustle.”

Easy access on arrival. Good communication prior to arrival. A couple of small things that would make it perfect…. Directions from different directions as the unit as seen in the pics is not visible from the road. And a few basics provided like a couple of extra toilet rolls, hand soap etc. it’s a fair distance to a Tesco for things you didn’t think to bring. Overall, though, we’d like to go back there sometime!

- Leonard, June 2023

Thank you so much for your kind comments. As this is a self-catering accommodation we provide a started amount of toilet rolls and it is down the owner to supply extra products. They will be able to see your review and can action on it where they feel necessary. We are glad that you enjoyed everything that the property and area have to offer.

“This is the best property we’ve had the pleasure of staying in, in the Lake District.”

It’s warm, cozy and a home from home. We adored looking out across the valley in the mornings, and standing outside to watch the stars at night. There are endless walk and run routes from the doorstep. The property has been renovated to a very high standard and everything was thought through beautifully. We’d live here if we could!

“Tastefully furnished, warm and very comfortable.”

Amazing scenery !. The only problem was the bulbs in the bathroom went out on our last day. However I rang to inform you and you were willing to come and investigate. Since it was our last day we made a do. Would definitely go back to this cottage.

Arthur December 2021

“The cottage is great.”

With very comfortable bed. Only problem was that the heating was inadequate. Especially in the lounge. It improved after the visit by maintenance. We had to call three times before they were sent out. The lounge was still too cold even though we were given an electric convector heater to plug in.
