Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently noted the property to be clean and tidy, with several positive remarks about its maintenance. However, a few minor comments about specific items like a loo brush and a shower mat slightly affected the score.
The location was generally well-received, with the property being close to the beach and local shops. However, some guests felt that the village of Haverigg had limited attractions, and the view from the cottage was not as expected.
Mixed reviews were given regarding comfort. While the beds were found to be comfy by some, others criticised the quality of mattresses and sofas. The presence of thoughtful extras was noted, but comfort was compromised by some furniture and space issues.
Facilities were generally adequate, with a well-equipped kitchen and extras upon arrival. However, there were several mentions of maintenance issues such as problems with the TV signal, Wi-Fi, and bathroom fixtures, which suggests room for improvement.
Guests appreciated the thoughtful gestures such as wine and chocolates on arrival, which added a welcoming touch. It should be noted that such gifts, while delightful, are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

Itâs our second year staying there. As the boys get taller we may need something with fewer slanting ceilings. Love sitting out on the patio in the evenings when itâs not raining or too windy.

We were delighted to find it very clean, well maintained and the beds were freshly made. The owner took care to provide the basics like soaps and dishwashing liquid which was very helpful. Kitchen was fully equipped and property had it's own allocated parking. We are very happy with our stay and would certainly recommend. Keeping the chocolates was very thoughtful, the kids loved them. Special thanks from them.

However, the property next door has scaffolding, there was a ladder across one of the bedroom windows, it was difficult to enter the property due to ladders and scaffolding and half the decking at the front was taken up by scaffolding. You had known since at leas 11th May about this and you should have told us. We would have changed our booking. Without the scaffolding it would have been 10 out of 10 and I would have said yes to recommending you but I feel you were not entirely honest and you should have let us know.
