Family weekend break at Greystoke.
Foxglove cottage is ideally situated in the village, very close to the shop/post office and the excellent "Boot and Shoe" pub. The cottage was clean on arrival, maybe a little dated on the interior, but this adds to the charm. Beds were clean and comfy and the free wi- fi was a nice touch along with the freeview tv. Plenty of good walks and a lovely park and outdoor pool nearby.

Foxglove cottage which could be much better
The cottage itself is very charming and very well located with an easy access to the main road leading to Penrith or Lake District, a local pub and a small local shop. The information provided by the owner before our arrival was very helpful and made us certain with our choice. You can’t even imagine how we all felt when we learnt that the cottage wasn’t cleaned at all after previous customers( no bed linens, no towels, no toilet paper, the rubbish and dirty laundry were left in the bathroom, dirty carpets and strange odour). In current situation of COVID 19 the safety should be paramount! We tried to contact the owners using the numbers listed in the Information book of the cottage and found out that contact number to Paul didn’t work any more, the voice recording said that he sadly passed away in December. It is important to review and update the information on a regular basis to avoid misunderstandings in the future. Patricia( the main owner) managed to resolve the cleaning issue within 2 hours but we had to stay in and wait for the cleaners, not ideal situation with two hungry children, not being able to unpack or even use a toilet. The cleaning service wasn’t the best at all, two girls arrived in a rash, not wearing masks or socially distancing themselves in the current situation, the stairs to the bedrooms were not hovered at all and some hair was left inside the bath. In order to achieve 4or 5 stars I would strongly recommend to improve the cleaning service in this property for safe holiday stay.

August short break
Perfect location, great enclosed space for our dog although the grass area picture is a little deceptive- it’s smaller than it looks. Old fashioned decor but exactly what is shown on the pictures. The cottage is really well equipped- it has everything you need. Bit of a problem on arrival- previous guests had not put the keys where they should have and so couldn’t get in. Couldn’t get hold of the owner who had always been prompt in responses previously. Resolved the issue ourselves and then owner called the following day as she’d been in a no signal area, so mixed opinions on communications with owner. Other than that, all good. Recommend the boot and shoe pub in the village too for food... fabulous!
