Well equipped, in an excellent location.
The smallest of the double bedrooms was very dark through the night, making it very difficult to use the bathroom. Also, the fish washer did not work, which was a bit disappointing after cooking for 6 adults.

The location was ideal, right next to Tweedies!
It was a little strange to have the bedrooms on the ground floor.

Lovely cottage in an excellent location right in the centre of Grasmere which is a fantastic base for the Lakes. Everything was very clean and it was well kitted out. The room layout is a bit quirky but this added to the charm.

Well equipped.

Perfect location for the activities we had planned. Lovely little village
We liked that the bedrooms were downstairs so no need to lug heavy suitcases upstairs! Helpful having 2 bathrooms and 2 loos.
The owners had left lots of helpful notes/big file, walking sticks and even boots (we didn't need them but I thought it was cute)
And the parking permit came in very useful in a couple of carparks in the area!
The second double bedroom was tiny...luckily we didn't have 2 people sharing it but it would be a bit tight if there had been 6of us instead of 5!
An airing clothes horse to help dry our wetsuits would have been really helpful.

Everything, A house with bags of character and central to everything we needed.
Not much, maybe a new handle on the toilet cistern.

Plenty of space for everyone. Clean and tidy. Kitchen well equipment. Plenty of coffee making kit. Good location for walks. Comes with 1 car parking pass. Easy to find.
TV was a little small for the size of the front room. Radio didn’t work in in the kitchen.

Well equipped for self catering.
Great location for the village, walks, buses.
Car park pass saved the worry of finding somewhere at a reasonable rate. Able to stop by Rowan cottage to unload and re-load the car.
Lovely view as living area upstairs.
Lounge a bit gloomy at times but that is really due to the style of cottage being old.

Location and most of the facilities
Directions did not say use SATNAV from Ambleside as we navigated thin roads from Elterwater. Also Fridges and oven were turned off when we arrived but we didn't realise for over a day. The main plugs need better narrative.

Great location and good facilities nearby.
Cleanliness of the property wasn’t up to standard-for example we found someone else’s fake nails in the bedroom! We have told the company this but have received no response.
The oven door in the property needs fixing as it won’t close properly so takes ages to heat up food.
There was mould and dust in lots of places, likely due to a cold winter but it needs a good clean. Lots of mould in shower too.

Location
The smell of stale cooking. The dark and dingy rooms. The dated decor. The smell of grease everywhere. The smell and feel of damp and it was cold downstairs in bedrooms although did manage to bump up heating with instructions and it became warmer and less smellier on the 2nd night. Needs completely re-furbishing. Very disappointed and glad to get out. Standard 2 star.

Central location in village
beds were comfy and white bedding clean
both flushing systems on toilets in need of repair
whole cottage in need of freshening up and being given a really good clean, some kitchen units damaged and worn
bathroom towel rail broken, generally very tired looking
no parking permit left to use due to previous people taking it with them but there was no backup in place to provide another, one was pushed through the door on Saturday which we didn’t receive until we got back to the cottage later that day and too late to make use of by then
unpleasant cooking odour/smell in the cottage when we arrived, we bought air freshener and cleaning wipes to try improve the smell
the cottage could be made into a lovely place to stay if time is taken to address the above, it’s in a great location but it didn’t meet our expectations and we wouldn’t recommend or rush back to stay at this time unless it improves

Location ideal. Some nice traditional features. Parking very useful.
The apartment was not clean on arrival. Crumbs and debris on the floors. Didn't seem like floors were mopped. Pubic hair in the bath. Dirt in the bath.

Beautiful property!! We loved the views, the kitchen was well equipped and the location was ideal. It was a great layout with 3 kids, enough space to get some rare adult moments of peace!! It was really clean and tidy and the WiFi worked great. Lovely 1st family holiday as a 5!
Extra Loo rolls would be helpful
9.0
Perfect location, house full of character, spotlessly clean.
A tiny thing about an otherwise superb house, but it was difficult to dry towels. If it were possible to just turn one radiator / towel rail on, it would make a massive difference after spending days in the water.

No power shower
One toilet roll per bathroom

Liked the facilities, everything was very well organised including car park pass
Located next to a take away but it was not open late so wasn't a problem. Would have liked a TV in main bedroom.
9.0
Parking. With only 1 parking pass to share between 3 cars. Even two passes would have been better.
