“Lovely little cottage, just right for the four of us.”
Well appointed, spotlessly clean when we arrived, nice and comfy beds and bedding. Has a nice little garden, which we would have enjoyed had it not rained all week!
Really appreciated touches such as the extra towels left in the porch for the dog. We did go prepared, but with the weather so rough on days (plus she fell in a bog one day and needed a very thorough bath on the drive!), we would have struggled with what we took.
Only suggestions I could make to improve it are that an os map would have been handy for planning walkies round the village, and an airer would have been really useful this week for getting soggy dog towels and coats dry! Otherwise, it was a lovely spot and we'd happily go again.
Locally, we enjoyed the pencil museum and castlerigg stone circle in kewsick, lowther castle, pooley bridge and ullswater, and we can definitely recommend the Boot and Shoe for food in Greystoke. The Herdwick Inn in the village claimed it was closed on facebook, although it looked very much open when we drove past, so we ended up one village up.
Dear Tanya,
Thank you very much for your feedback and glad you liked the cottage.
I am sorry to hear that the weather was not good.
Regarding your suggestions for improvement: there should be an airer available to guests in the understairs cupboard. I will ask the cleaners to confirm it is still there.
Indeed, the Herdwick Inn is officially closed and currently to let. It is difficult for me to provide accurate/timely advice as the pub has closed and re-opened twice in the last two years.
In the doubt, I have removed its mention in the property write-up, to avoid disappointment.
