Dog Friendly Cottages In Little Langdale

What our customers say about their holidays

  We loved staying in Bay Tree cottage.

  It was comfortable and well equipped. The open fire was a big plus when it was snowing outside-very Christmassy. It was a very quick walk into the shops and pubs in Ambleside and there were plenty of walks to do without driving anywhere. This was ideal as we were snowed in on the Saturday and reluctant to drive due to slippy roads on the Sunday. There is a nice little back/side yard which is secure. Our dog did not escape. It was too cold to use the table and chairs outside, but I imagine it would be fantastic to sit there admiring the view. The only thing I would say is to be aware that the heating/boiler can turn itsself off. This happened a couple of times while we were there. But you can turn them back on by switching the separate switch on the wall under the sensor in the wardrobe of the main bedroom. It took us a while to figure this out, so it might be worth making that clear. Our friend stayed with us for a couple of nights and the owners very kindly allowed her to bring her dog. This is a one dog property, so we were delighted when they agreed to let Ivy come too. We had a fantastic visit-one of the best cottages we’ve stayed in for comfort and location.

  We have just returned from staying and im disappointed by the quality and cleanliness of the apartment.

  There was only 1 glass in the kitchen (apart from wines glasses) in the cupboard there was a broken plate and cracked mug. The floors are so dirty. I don’t think they have been hoovered in a while. I dropped something under the sofa and was disgusted by the clumps of dust and hair on the floor. We had to wear socks all the weekend as you wouldn’t walk bare foot (would recommend taking slippers) There was loads of hairs everywhere. In had to clean the bath before using it and there was so many hairs in the bed. I had to lit roller the bed but still couldn’t get them all. The amenities are really poor, only got 1 toilet roll, no hand soap in the bathroom, no logs for the fire. We come to celebrate a special birthday and I spent the first day cleaning and it basically put a damper on the whole weekend. The apartment has so most potential as the location and apartment could be great but it’s looking tired, lacks the basics and isn’t clean.

  We have used this apartment several times because of its location and the fact it is dog friendly.

  However the serious lack of investment shows. On arrival the balcony area where you enter was filthy. We swept the worst of it ourselves. The actual apartment was clean apart from the velux windows which were extremely dirty. They are easy to reach and swivel in for cleaning so there’s no excuse. The kitchen is very poorly equipped. There are no side plates so we ate our toast from bowls. We reported this several months ago and it is no better. The can opener is in the drawer in bits. The pots are in a shocking state and should be thrown out. It’s such a shame because a few hundred pounds of investment would make such a difference. As it stands it is definitely not a gold standard property. Numerous other people have raised the same issues. The positives are it’s cosy, the shower is decent and the bed is comfy. Such a shame about the rest.

  A brilliant Christmas week away with great communication before and after our booking and stay.

  Well equipped property with comfortable bed, lovely bath in the bedroom which was quirky, powerful shower in the separate bathroom downstairs. The extractor fan could do with a good clean too. Some cracks in the paintwork and plaster which will need some attention, and I notified Sykes about a hole beneath the carpet in the entrance hall. This is at the very bottom of the stairs, so caught me out a couple of times as you can't see it beneath the black carpet. That definitely needs some immediate attention! Cooking and making Christmas lunch was easy with the equipment provided though the oven could probably do with a deep clean now, and it was lovely being in the heart of Ambleside. Would definitely recommend and even return in the future. We had a brilliant time so thanks. The cleaning points were minor though, and did not affect our stay!

  This is a GREAT property….

  Or could be. It’s listed as gold star but it’s not. It’s grubby, smelt musty and the paintwork was chipped/peeling. Not just a bit but badly in the bathroom. Lots of scuffs and knocks and the sofa cushions grubby. There has been other feedback like this for the owner to see but they’ve done nothing and therefore it’s status should be downgraded. It could be stunning but it’s been done on the cheap yet is charged out at top dollar. The mattress was so hard the we actively looked forward to coming home to give our backs a rest. On plus side the location was perfect and it was super cosy and piping hot water/lovely shower. Please don’t list something as A* when it’s not, it’s not fair. I’ve stayed with you 6-8 times, always fab but this time disappointing. Sorry, I’m being honest so it can be rectified. Jo
