  I booked wastatwer cottage and i thought it is on the ground floor.

  The listing does not say that it s a first floor cottage noe does the email confirm. When we checked in, it was smelling so bad because someone had smoked a cigerrette insiode the cottage. They offered us a free upgrade which did not have the views, the wastwaters did. We had no other choice and had to accept this. Day 1: The electric storage radiator (god knows from which century) did not work. Day 2: They fixed the raddiators, but can not control the temprature or even switch them off now. It was a nightmare. We had sleep in different rooms with open windows and take chances with the insects coming in. Overall experience was worse than 2 stars and god knows how they managed to get 4 star for that property. It ruined my holidays to certain extent and would definitely look for a compensation. I did not expect this after paying spo much. There were cheaper alternatives on internet, but I specifically chose this to ensure the comfort for my family.

  The accomodation was as described, is in a lovely location with many walks and local attractions nearby, is very good for dogs and we would recommend it to others.

  We had one problem when we arrived in the cottage as the fridge broke on the first evening and coolant leaked all over the food & drink inside, much of which we had to dispose of in case it was contaminated. The kitchen floor was also covered in water as the fridge started to defrost. The coolant smelled terrible and lingered for several days, especially on the outside of packaging of any unopened food & drinks which were in the fridge at the time. We did clean the fridge and the kitchen floor, but the smell remained for a long time. This was reported the next morning to Graythwaite via their website and they responded very quickly, taking away the damaged fridge and installing a replacement.

  The apartments was exactly as described on the homepage and the scenery is very beautiful.

  Due to Covid-19 we were asked to check in after 4 pm to allow for extensive cleaning. Unfortunately, we found the apartment not cleaned at all when we arrived at 6 pm (old bed linen on the bed, dirty and wet towels in the bath room etc). Re-arrangements were made for us (after we found a spot with mobile signal) but it took some time and the first evening ended with us going tired & early to bed while the next morning started early to move our luggage to the previous apartment. These things can happen but under Covid-19 they shouldn't, particularly when check-in and check-out times have been changed to meet the new situation. The rest of our holidays was great though

  The cottage was clean and has lovely views from the lounge window.

  It was good there is a phone booth with I presume a working pay phone because there was no mobile signal. Good field to give the dog a run before going out for the day. Local information is scant. The first night we drove to Ambleside to Tesco extra and there is a co-op in Hawkshead village. The heating system is electric night heaters and it is very hot in the bedrooms in the middle of the night nut if turned lower it was quite cold in the cottage during the day. I would stay there again but not in the winter months.

  The key box was different to every other cottage in the facilities however our code opend others making us believe no key had been left.

  No one picked up the phone contact number we had been given resulting in the start of our holiday to be fairly stressful In the bed room the ceiling had multiple stains and at night little footstwos could be heard scurrying across so believe stains to be from dead rats? As expected internet was extremely limited at the cottage however finding our acsesspoint had been turned off definitely made it a lot worse. Once switched on internet was usable The cottage was nice once we where able to get in.
