The Nook - Spacious Lakeland Cottage, Dog Friendly

Amazing house, full of character and relaxing Positive: Brilliant facilities, great house

Easy, lovely, Cosy, relaxed stay close to Grange and Cartmel Positive: Beautiful, stone cottage- cosy with x 2 living rooms. Handy for us as we had x 2 kids in tow so we could cook with the kids nearby or they could escape to their own ‘den’. The aga was a first for me, but great to have that experience! Negative: Not much to be honest, although the property is literally on the road with no pavement and because the property next door has scaffolding up, it was a bit hairy at times with the kids. The passing cars do not take any prisoners.

It was excellent for a short stay and our needs Positive: Clean very comfortable with all necessary appliances etc Negative: No parking and position on main road

A spacious, homely and comforting experience. Positive: Location was great for access to some shops and as a base. Huge house size and the kitchen remained nice and warm due to the AGA Oven and it was clear how to use. Bathrooms were well equipped and functional with Hot water when needed. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable sofas Fireplace with a good amount of wood for the amount of time spent. Television and WiFi all functional and fast. Negative: Broom and dustpan and brush would have been appreciated (or if there was one to be clear where to find) The Kitchen had some items which perhaps were left by other guests such as empty spices, old cooking oil, frozen items in the freezer. The Kitchen floor could have been mopped/swept and the fly catcher changed before arrival. The master bedroom was changed and fresh, however the covers and sheets were all creased (not a complaint, just for a more complete feel for the Guest to have these ironed out) Blanket placed on the bed had a large amount of hairs (animal hairs?) Ground floor sofas to be checked and vacuumed as there was dirt/debris in between the cracks and sides For other guests, a small selection of essentials can go a long way such as a bit of milk, eggs, kitchen paper towels, cling film/tin foil etc...

Lovely quiet cozy cottage, well appointed,great location, Positive: Lovely cozy house.Good communication with host; kitchen great-well stocked and loved experimenting with the Aga; beds great; very clean. Well maintained (worth mentioning that the double socket in master bedroom has loose screw needing tightened). Great situation. Negative: A short walk to the car parked in a layby. Fine for us but could be more challenging for a young family; towels a little on the small side ( we're not oversized!!)- we like the decadence of a bath sheet ( small point!) .
