Well located on the edge of B-o-W, however, initial impressions when you arrive are somewhat unflattering as the front door area is shabby and not very chic and there are obviously pigeons nesting in the eaves who leave their detritus and other items lying around. The on street parking which has been mentioned in other reviews is undoubtedly an issue, however, parking in the Lake District is an issue. However, once inside the place is clean and tidy and has all the amenities that you might expect. We did not manage to get the television to work in the entire time we were there (not the greatest inconvenience but irritating) as there are an array of controls and no instructions that we could find, although there was one on how to assemble the kitchen units. Other reviewers have commented on comfortableness of the beds and certainly the basement bedroom one is the least comfortable. The other restriction not immediately apparent in the listing is the slope of the eaves in the upstairs bedrooms which slope sharply if you are taller than 5â 5â you might either bang your head or stub your toe on the edge of the bed or maybe both. However, we enjoyed our stay.
Property was in an ideal location for us. Parking wasnât ever an issue for us as long as you accept there may be a small walk involved.
Cottage was lovely but could maybe do with a deeper clean and some TLC in placesâŠ.bathroom door, downstairs toilet seat for example.
