Cottage very clean and had everything you need. To open dishwasher fully you need to open cupboard door on the left as the handle got in the way. Garden was a big disappointment no grass just soil and rubble. We needed an enclosed garden but the fence was not finished our dog could get out onto the shed roof which was dangerous, after a couple oRead moref days a staff member noticed we had tried to block gap so did finish the fence.

The cottage was easy to find, directions given with check in instructions were nice and clear. The cottage was clean and tidy, well equipped - had everything we needed and bowls for the dog. Nice quiet area with easy access to the rest of the Lakes, shops nearby to stock up on supplies.

We had a great week at Joe's cottage. A very thoughtful touch were the milk, bread, biscuits, coffee pods and wood for the fire found on our arrival. The cottage was spotlessly clean. The beds extremely comfortable. We loved using the hot tub. The cottage is beautifully decorated. The sofa's and throws make it very homely, especially with the wood Read moreburner going. The kitchen really well equipped. The surrounding properties and countryside provided beautiful views from the windows. We loved the seclusion. We would absolutely return and reommend this property to friends and family. Hide
