Considered
Pros: The host had really gone the extra mile to ensure you had everything you could possibly need. Property instructions were clear and helpful. I absolutely loved how comfy the bed was too.
Cons: Property near a busy road (hardly avoidable) and the stairs to the top floor were very slippy and narrow. We all nearly fell down them, but our teen did. Doesn't take away from how fabulous the cottage is.

Fabulous cosy cottage
Pros: We had a fabulous stay in this beautiful cottage, I wish we had been there longer. It was cosy, warm (log fire), clean, had everything we needed for cooking. The bathroom was lovely, I enjoyed a lovely bath after a day walking and wild swimming. It was easy to find, free parking near by but you can unload close by. Little enclosed garden at the back. The cottage is dog friendly and the host had left a bed, bowls, toys, blanket, treats, towel for him. The host gave lots of info before arriving on how to access the cottage and about the surrounding area. The fire was all laid and just ready for me to light on arrival. We will be returning and I’d recommend. I’d a risky like to live here, I loved how it was decorated.
Cons: There was nothing we didn’t like. The stairs are quite steep if you struggle with stairs but none of us do so it was fine for us

Pros: The host of this quirky historical property has done everything possible to make our stay comfortable and easy. Every eventuality is catered for, maps and walking books, phone charger, fire lighters in a discreet container, toiletries, welcome pack and many more touches. Although the house is small, the layout makes maximum use of the space. Outside of the house, parking was not a problem, we parked in a space next to an impressive outdoor gym facility. A fantastic bakery is a few doors away and opens at 5.30am, and a bicycle hire facility is even closer. Above all, Gosforth is very close to the most beautiful part of the Lake District, Wastwater, which enables some of the most iconic Wainwright walks, The Scafells, Pillar, and the beautiful Yewbarrow to name but a few.
Cons: It was all good

Lovely, well decorated property in great location for exploring the Lake District.
Pros: Beautifully decorated with all the equipment we needed for a comfortable family stay. Lovely touches such as milk, tea coffee and biscuits. Perfect location for visiting the coast and Wastwater Lake/Scafell Pike. Italian restaurant and pub very close by. Lovely little backyard to have a morning coffee. I was there for a charity walk and was really touched that the property owner enquired afterwards how it gone and even donated towards my fundraising - how incredibly thoughful!!
Cons: That I had to go back to work and couldn’t stay longer!

Lovely cosy cottage in a great corner of the Lake District.

Pros: The cottage is in a lovely location. The cottage itself is perfect for a family of 4 for a trip away. The hosts were on hand for any information or help but you couldn't ask for any more information the host was excellent with advice of the local area and further. Will definitely be back in the future.
