Very comfortable and beautifully decorated cottage. All 3 bedrooms a good size with storage. Bathroom upstairs with lovely toiletries, spacious shower room downstairs. Friendly & helpful owners nearby. Quiet farmland area near caravans. Underfloor heating downstairs, safe enclosed patio space at the back. Lounge & kitchen lighting very bright (a little harsh!) with underfloor heating & excellently furnished & equipped. Dvds kept the youngest family member happy. Thanks for a delightful & quite luxurious stay.

Great stay in a wonderful proerty & location

He have just returned from a long weekend in the Lake District and had Croft Cottage as our base. The property itself is fantastic with lots of nice little touches. In terms of the extra Covid19 measures the owners have taken every precaution for our safety. (One of our party is a nurse and said the measures are better than in a hospital!) Robert & Lesley were lovely. Available if needed, but everything was so well detailed it was unnecessary. Highly recommend & will be definitely be visiting again in the future :)

Lovely house with beautiful surroundings

The property is just as it looks in the pictures, modern, clean and homely. Fully equipped including everything you need to cook meals, and a lively terrace at the rear for BBQing. Lesley is a great host, very friendly and welcoming. We were celebrating a 30th birthday and although we planned on doing some long walks round the lake district, the weather wasn't ideal so we ended up spending a lot of time at the property, which we were more than happy to do as it was so nice. Thankfully we did get chance to explore Kendal, a great little town with lots going on! Would recommend.

A farm in the Lakes

A lovely stay. Lesley and Robert were perfect hosts. The property is superb; extremely clean and warm and with everything you need. There are lovely walks across the countryside from the front door, and Ambleside/Windermere are only 20 minutes away by car. Lovely place, lovely people, lovely stay. I would certainly recommend this property.
