    “We had a wonderful stay at Whisk Away Cottage and would certainly recommend it as a stylish, comfortable base for exploring the Eden Valley and wider area.”

    The location is truly spectacular, offering stunning views of mountains and open fields on all sides. Having the car park so close was a huge convenience, especially after long days of walking and sightseeing. The property was in excellent condition and thoughtfully stocked with essential amenities like tea, sugar, and toiletries. We also loved the convenience of having TVs in every room - a great touch for avoiding any entertainment squabbles! Check-in was entirely straightforward thanks to ...

    The location is truly spectacular, offering stunning views of mountains and open fields on all sides. Having the car park so close was a huge convenience, especially after long days of walking and sightseeing. The property was in excellent condition and thoughtfully stocked with essential amenities like tea, sugar, and toiletries. We also loved the convenience of having TVs in every room - a great touch for avoiding any entertainment squabbles! Check-in was entirely straightforward thanks to the clear instructions provided. We used the pool at the resort and it was a good size, clean and well-maintained. Regarding some common points raised by previous guests, we found the shower pressure to be perfectly adequate once we adjusted the controls. However, the design of the overhead shower does lead to some water splashing onto the bathroom floor, and we did notice an odour from the drains that could be resolved with a deep clean. While our cottage Wi-Fi was patchy, we were able to switch to the resort’s connection, which was fast and reliable. The main bedroom now has a blind over the door so keeps the room dark for sleep. Whilst the property doesn't have a washing machine, there is a laundrette available on the site. One final note for prospective guests: due to the lack of a stair gate, I wouldn’t recommend this for toddlers, and those with mobility issues may find the stairs and kitchen stools a bit challenging. That said, for adults and families with older children, it is a fantastic retreat. I'd be more than happy to stay again!
