Unusual cottage. No kitchenette. Not allowed food in the cottage. No WiFi even though the host put the password in the book and via text message.
Tv channels are limited.
Spa bath is a nice touch but not enough hot water to fill it. Shower was nice once the hot water was restored in the morning…
Sofa was so worn it had zero padding. Broken/cracked mirrored drawers and bedside table so posing sharp cut risk to people staying.
Bed was comfy enough which was something.
Wouldn’t come back.
Lovely property spotlessly clean within walking distance to shops, restaurants & bars.
Room very welcoming. Only issues we found the room too hot & the mattress on the bed was thin & uncomfortable. Would give 5 stars but unfortunately did not sleep well shame as the room & property was so clean & decor was lovely.

Property was in a good location not far to walk up to Windermere or down to bars and restaurants, small amount of parking. Stayed in the coach house. Check in was good. Cleanliness of banister there was settled dust, cracks in the cabinets. TV quality wasn’t great. Bathroom shower was good. Heating wasn’t an issue at all, warm in November. overall was a good stay. On the last night we got back late and car park isn’t lit very well my partner fell walking from the coach house to the car, there is a big drop which should be lit where it slopes down next to the garages, which did dampen the stay. Takeaway policy seems excessive after being out walking all day and booking that sort of place you would expect to be able to relax in the space of you wanted too.

All in all the stay was fine the location was great and we had parking included, just a few little niggles, we had no tea bags on our tea tray, only one bath sheet was provided so my husband had to use hand towels to have a shower and it was a little noisy when people were coming in the building and going to their rooms
Beautiful property in a really ideal location. Great as a base camp if you’re in the Lake District for walks etc. Only thing we’d change is not being allowed take aways in the room, we understand why but it made us eat out for all meals which isn’t ideal for a budget break. But as I said above, location is ideal and offers lots of choice for restaurants and cafes etc. No complaints about the property and would definitely return!
Perfect little private get away pretty much in the middle of town.
Small premium over other rooms available at Latimer house which have you added privacy and plenty of room for two to enjoy 3 nights away.
Excellent choice of accommodation. Within walking discharge of the lake, bars and restaurants. Lovely room with tea and coffee facilities. Hair dryer and towels for use. Easy access via the key pads and excellent communication from the hosts.
Excellent place to stay rooms very big clean and great location. Property done to a very high standard would definitely stay again.

Great area, close to bars and restaurants the room decor was fabulous !
Although our room was very cold and had not been turned on even when requested.
Our stay for 3 nights was comfortable. Check in and booking was easy. Room 4 was clean and nicely decorated; perhaps a little small if you were staying longer. Location is good and parking on site available. Good links to local buses and boats with many local restaurants on hand. A good base.
We stayed at the cottage house which is outside the main building. It was very spacious and has an indoor jacuzzi tub which is why we booked it. The hot water is pre-heated, so it was just enough to fill the tub. There won’t be hot water after if you wanted a shower. Also, an important downside for us was the wifi signal is so weak that neither our phone nor laptops could pick any signal. Was a bit disappointed in that regard as the hotel is aware of the problem but made no effort to fix it. Close proximity to shops and the lake though!
