A nice apartment which would benefit greatly from central heating. I appreciate we made a late booking but there was a distinct lack of heat when we arrived. So much so we ate out the first night, not our plan after a long drive. We used 4 blanket throws on the bed, and I am an outdoor person! We adjusted the controls on the storage heaters which iRead moremproved things slightly. It is the only property we have been to where there has not been a welcome pack. Thank goodness I remembered tea bags as the only thing in the kitchen cupboards was Salt and Pepper. Very well equipped plenty of plates, cutlery and glasses etc. Very conveniently position with the bonus of off road parking. Beneath the apartment is Goody Blakes Restaurant with an excellent menu, superb chef and lovely ambience. Would I recommend, yes, but possibly not in cold weather. Hide

We really enjoyed our week in 'Spinners'. It is spacious, cosy and very well appointed, in a great location. Little things like having a parking space and (3) smart TVs weren't part of why we chose it, but ended up being very welcome - especially when the February rain was hammering down!

The only problem we had was getting TVs in all the bedrooms and Lounge to work. The instructions for the TVs were good, however most of the remote controls had something wrong with the batteries. We bought our own batteries for the lounge TV remote control. All the remote controls needed checking and cleaning inside. At least two remote controls Read morehad batteries leaking chemicals they were that bad. I did complain in a e-mail to Original Cottages but got no response. The dreaded work by painters outside the property at the time of our visit only causes minor in convenience in the end. Overall we did like this property very much, found it nice and comfortable and would certainly wish to go back some time. Hide

This cottage was great, we went in quite sceptical as we normally avoid apartments, but this was excellent. The set up meant the kids were able to keep to themselves if they liked, and they had fun playing hide and seek in the sprawling set up. We wouldn't think twice about staying again.

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 Read moreat 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. Hide
