Sadly I have to be honest, for us the cottage is no longer worth the cost. We have been to this same cottage for 3yrs now and sadly we are looking for another cottage for our trip next year. The owner needs to spend some money on this place, it’s quite basic in comparison to other cottages available so we’ve realised it’s solely the location that keeps us coming back. Absolutely perfect location, love it for that. But for the cost I think we should maybe expect more from it.
The cottage would benefit from a new bed in the master bedroom, and really just money spent on it giving it a lot of TLC to freshen the place up. Maybe a deep clean twice a year too?
Don’t be too put off, this is a barn conversion after all, so it’s not modern, spotless, etc. It’s a lovely cottage in the most beautiful location. We love the walks (up the mountain behind this cottage was a highlight for us!) the aira force walk, steamer to pooley bridge, motorboat on ullswater lake from Glenridding... there is lots to do from here, and only a short drive to Penrith or Keswick too. Also if you do stay here please be warned the hot water is crazy hot when you run the bath.
Would love to revisit the place in the future to find that money has been spent on it to bring it back to high standard. It’s quite sad to see it even more run down year after year.
