Lovely old stone cottage in a peaceful location but in need of some TLC.
Lovely old stone cottage in a peaceful location but in need of some TLC. Spacious and nicely furnished. Modern kitchen, well equipped. Modern bathroom with effective towel radiator though the shower pressure is just average. Comfy beds and bedding, and good storage space for clothes. Lots of hooks and a hall cupboard for coats. The stairs are not steep and the steps are shallow. As the cottage is located at the end of a quiet single track road, you can walk straight out into the beautiful countryside. It’s also in a designated dark sky area of The Lakes, so you can see the Milky Way on a clear night! From the dining table you can watch the sunrise and mists fading through the large ground floor window. Breathtaking. We found Lowther to be a quiet out of town retreat for the northern Lakes and had a happy and very restful holiday. But the heating wasn’t on when we arrived at 4pm and the house was cold. And no extra duvets/blankets available for cold nights. It took us a couple of days to adjust as the cottage doesn’t easily retain the heat, in spite of the extra electric fire in the lounge and portable radiator. Luckily we always take fleece blankets with us so we didn’t have to ask for any. The owner and family live on site and were very friendly so I’m sure they’d have helped if we had.Some improvement suggestions: Spare blankets/duvets available. Fit a rubber trim to the glass shower screen to stop the lovely bathroom flooding. Replace the damaged lampshades. Tidy the curtains so they hang neatly and put one in front of the kitchen/front door. Arrange for recycling facilities. (Don’t let this put you off, we’d still recommend Lowther)Please note - The directions to Lowther are for approaching from Penrith/M6, not up through the southern lakes as we did.
