The garden is very overgrown and you are greeted by head-high nettles and brambles to negotiate from the parking spot to the doors of the house. The garden is not dog proof so they can gain access to the road and the fields if left to their own devices. The single track road is used by the locals as a race track, so be cautious when walking along the road and accessing the off-road parking. The house did smell damp, not helped by a blocked gutter allowing water down the side of the house. Somewhere to dry washing would be useful, other than a tumble drier. No resources for wet weather days. Other holiday lets we have stayed in have a wide collection of donated books, games, puzzles etc, and there are none here. The hot tub is a fantastic addition and much appreciated. More outdoor chairs would be good. Three gravy boats, but no large serving dishes! Nothing that can't be fixed! We did report a problem and staff who came were great, but was still unresolved when we left

Really spacious, a lovely kitchen area and the hot tub (which all 4 of us squeezed into!) We loved that we had our own private garden and land away from the rest of the estate. This cottage is really accommodating for 4 adults. A quick 25 minute drive to Keswick where we spent Saturday at the local market shopping and trying local food. We did venture on to the main grounds Saturday evening for a pizza and drink. This layout was great and service was brilliant. We also loved having a cuddle with the animals and pretended to be big kids on the swings. I do feel like the rooms need a fresh lick of paint but that is my only negative feedback. Otherwise, all the remaining facilities are fantastic and up to standard.

The cottage was beautifully clean and really well equipped with the basics which meant we didn’t have to bring the kitchen sink with us. Communication was brilliant when booking.

The cottage was beautifully clean and really well equipped with the basics which meant we didn’t have to bring the kitchen sink with us. Communication was brilliant when booking. Bottle of wine on arrival was a nice surprise. The hot tub and garden are fantastic. Such a lovely property, in beautiful surroundings. It was a pleasure to stay here and we absolutely cannot wait to return.

Very Satisfied - Cleanliness, size of cottage and ample amenities, lovely gardens, stream is very relaxing, great location for lakes/beach & walking. The estate itself is lovely, the little farm area is great for children Improvements: the mattress on the single bed... Very Satisfied - Cleanliness, size of cottage and ample amenities, lovely gardens, stream is very relaxing, great location for lakes/beach & walking. The estate itself is lovely, the little farm area is great for children Improvements: the mattress on the single bed nearest the window needs replacing, very uncomfortable, curtains would be better, very bright in rooms using just blinds. Garden could use some TLC a bit overgrown in places Overall we absolutely loved our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to friends and family

The cottage was quaint and lovely. We are mindful it was an old dwelling but the stairwell had an odour of damp. The garden has the potential to be beautiful, a true cottage garden but sadly has been neglected. The beds were not comfortable and as we did not sleep... The cottage was quaint and lovely. We are mindful it was an old dwelling but the stairwell had an odour of damp. The garden has the potential to be beautiful, a true cottage garden but sadly has been neglected. The beds were not comfortable and as we did not sleep fitfully for the 3 nights this is enough for me not to return. The surrounding area was beautiful and the information on your website as to recommendations for venues to visit and venues for food, were excellent.

Celebrated 25 years of friendship with a long weekend with my best friend. The cottage is fabulous. Loved the privacy and perfect for short or long walks. The dog loved it. All the facilities you could wish for, for a short stay. Lovely bottle of wine on arrival,... Celebrated 25 years of friendship with a long weekend with my best friend. The cottage is fabulous. Loved the privacy and perfect for short or long walks. The dog loved it. All the facilities you could wish for, for a short stay. Lovely bottle of wine on arrival, which was a very nice touch. The hot tub was fabulous (shame about the flies, but hey, we’re in the country). Would love to return. My only improver would be for the cottage to have wifi. I get the benefit of switching off from the world for a few days, but guests need to combine a holiday and still have to do a little bit of work, it would come in handy in between exploring and hot tub dips!

Blaithwaite was a lovely place to stay, clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. The hot tub and garden were fantastic and the kids were delighted when they spotted a deer on our walk through the park.
