Bijou 17th Century Cottage

A lovely property which served perfect for what we needed! A central location in the Lakes and was not far from anywhere. Brilliant

Lovely clean cottage. Cold at night but burner helped.

We enjoyed our stay, very clean property and comfortable and ideally situated. Although we found the property chilly and the heating and appliances frustrating to use.

Lovely little cottage, handy to have buses on doorstep so no real need for the car. Perfect for one or a couple.

As we saw in description. We enjoyed

It wasn’t what I was expecting.Rather disappointed.Outdated inside and the outside needs tidying up, didn’t give a good first impression of the cottage.

Beautiful place to stay ,ideal location

This is a very characterful cottage - the main living area is nicely furnished, and it has a good bathroom upstairs. The kitchen is tiny, which I was expecting. But the equipment in the kitchen is also very 'tired'. The oven is so old that the markings have worn off the knobs so it required complete guesswork to judge temperature, or the mode of the oven. I used it once and burnt what I was cooking. The interior of the oven is dirty and the door seal falling off. The switch on the kettle is also broken and fell off on my first night. The microwave oven is old, so more guesswork to judge the power settings. The kitchen as a whole wasn't that clean; I had to wash a few things when I arrived, including the cutlery tray in the drawer, which was grubby.

Charming location that allowed exploring the lake district without a car. Frequent buses at the stop nearby. Loved the old stone walls with the slate floors. We have an old house with narrow stairs, so they felt like home. (Hang onto the railing). We arrived in a downpour, and had some trouble locating #14 (overgrown). Thank goodness for SPAR at the gas station for hot coffee and food basics. Go hiking out the back, up the field, around the sheep for some incredible views

Lovely cottage. Good location two different places.

Not so much bijou as tiny. The stairs kept us 76 year olds fit! Had everything we needed.Recommend the pub at the end of the street

The property is undoubtedly small. It was very clean and comfortable - a perfect base for exploring this wonderful area. Plenty of grocery stores and pubs/restaurants in surrounding area. A very steep narrow staircase leading to the second level of the property. I note this has been mentioned in other reviews too. Overall, my wife and I were very satisfied with the property.

Everything was lovely but isolated. Fortunately the bus service was wonderful. Be warned, there are steep narrow stairs to access the bedroom.

Lovely cottage full of character Some tlc required: oven graphics worn away; bedside table loose from the wall; kitchen tap wobbly! Otherwise, great!
