Reviews

On the whole fantastic value for money and well equipped apartment in a super location really enjoyed our stay

Mrs N,

The layout of the apartment is quirky and fun and is surprisingly spacious inside. The quality of the kitchen and its gadgets is excellent.

Mr J,

Loved the apartment, very spacious and cosy. All equipment is high end. Bed was very comfortable. Location just perfect. Would definitely return.

Mrs R,

Very well equipped and lots of room with comfortable settees and beds.

Mr B,

Good cottage. Quirky design (beams in bedroom). Comfortable beds and very well equipped. Has night storage heating which is not easy to get at the right level - and I imagine that fans will be needed in summer as the cottage will pick up the sun all afternoon. Location fantastic and 100 metres from the centre of Grasmere. We had a great short break here in December 2023 - and really enjoyed staying in the cottage - and also in Grasmere.

Mr P,

Fantastic property which was perfectly set up for a family, even bigger than the photos suggested and laid out so well that it meant everyone had their own space. Beautifully furnished with lovely local arts and crafts and genuinely the most well equipped holiday rental we've ever stayed in. Absolutely loved our stay and we will definitely be back :)

Miss R,

As you should know, our appreciation of the property and enjoyment of our holiday was badly affected by complete lack of water supply to the property from 10am on Monday 21 Aug, when we notified you, until 4pm on Wed 23 Aug. At 11am on Mon, your text indicated that you were sorry this issue was affecting our holiday, which you repeated in an email at 7pm. My email at 8am on Tues indicated that we expect to be reimbursed for disruption and time wasted. Plumbers first attended late on Monday afternoon, and told us that they had not been contacted until 4pm. At 2.22pm on Tuesday, you told me that plumbers had reattended and hadn't managed to locate the issue, and that the homeowner had contacted United Utilities. They worked (noisily) from 1am until 3am on Wednesday morning, so we looked forward to having water in the morning. We had none, to our surprise and the surprise of Paul, maintenance man for United Cottages. Paul told me in a later phonecall (2.20pm) that UU had solved the problem but neglected to turn the water supply back on. Paul was very helpful and supportive throughout, in person and by phone, although he was unable to solve the problem. Finally, I should mention that we were offered alternative properties on Monday (very inconvenient in Penrith and Carlisle!) and Wednesday (after the problem had been solved, although we had not been informed). I look forward to hearing from you re proposed reimbursement for the affect on our enjoyment of our holiday.

Mr C,

Perfect property for exploring the Lakes, great central location for all areas of the Lakes. Right on the Main Street in Grasmere and the added bonus of a dedicated parking space (big enough for our Ford Custom Van). Property is amazing with everything you need, two bathrooms, WI-FI and washing machine (along with all the other essentials). Very clean and comfortable, great large rooms and a good area to store coats and boots just as you get through the door. The only problem was that we should have booked two weeks, not just one. Would definitely book to return again.

Mr E,

Overall excellent holiday cottage. Great location. Parking caused slight inconvenience with other neighbouring properties although issues easily resolved.

Prof Stephen G,

Leaving aside the smell from the restaurant downstairs (which to be fair your listing mentions) the property was very well equipped,presented and located. The restaurant smell was not really an issue for us as the weather was cool enough that we didn't need to open any windows, but I would be cautious about re-booking in high summer.

Mrs Louise S,

Perfect location, lovely apartment with everything we needed - very well equipped kitchen

Miss Jane S,
