    “The accommodation was spacious and kitchen equipment was surplus to our needs.”

    Unfortunately the main double bed mattress was damaged and my husband ended up sleeping in another bed to help his painful back after the first night. Also, a very strong lingering food smell was present in the upstairs areas and this ruined our time in the property.

    Unfortunately the main double bed mattress was damaged and my husband ended up sleeping in another bed to help his painful back after the first night. Also, a very strong lingering food smell was present in the upstairs areas and this ruined our time in the property. Despite good contact from the cleaners, a solution was not possible during our stay. The facilities on the site were as advertised, however we received no arrival information about where to find the property in a huge resort. The provided post code led us into a private farmers yard and we were not aware that swimming had to be prebooked or where to collect equipment to play mini golf etc. The staff on site were pleasant and helpful. Sadly our little family didn’t enjoy the holiday as we’d hoped and felt disappointed including mostly broken and unusable items in the games room. We do not think the property should be listed until the food smells have been removed especially from carpets.

    - Nicki, October 2024

    We are sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay. Since your holiday we have visited the cottage ourselves; we could not find any damage to the mattress and neither ourselves or our housekeeper were able to detect any lingering food smells. Prior to your holiday you received two emails with detailed instructions to the cottage which if followed negates the need to rely on a sat nav as these aren't always accurate in rural areas. Instructions on accessing communal facilities can be found in the welcome folder but I have asked Lakelovers to add information regarding pre-booking the pool to pre-arrival information, thank you for raising this. Staff on site have assured us that they address any reported damage to the games room. We hope that the location of your next break better suits your needs. Property Owner

About the location

POOLEY BRIDGE

Penrith 6 miles.

The picturesque village of Pooley Bridge sits on the northerly edge of Lake Ullswater in the Lake District National Park. The name Pooley came to be due to the forming of a large pool, which was left by the fast flowing River Eamont, and the word Bridge was later added when a bridge, which is now 250 years old, was built over the river. Pooley Bridge has many traditional inns and tempting tea rooms, plus the Ullswater Steamers depart from the village, from where a tranquil cruise down the lake to the villages of Glenridding and Howtown can be enjoyed. There are numerous walks with breathtaking views nearby, plus a short walk up to Dunmallard Hill reveals fascinating Iron-Age remains, whilst the towns of Penrith and Keswick are within driving distance. Pooley Bridge is an ideal base for a cottage holiday stay in the stunning Lake District.
