Cleaners need a nudge.
The cottage as great as ever. However the cleaners need sorting as certain aspects of the cottage didn't look like it had been touched. Cobwebs in the kitchen and lounge didn't look like the floor had been mopped either. It won't stop us coming back but in my opinion the cleanliness needs sorting.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Hulse

Host profile image
Tim & Beverly have loved the Lake District since visiting together as students to enjoy the walking and scenery. Tim later spent some time working in the Lakes. Now living in Chester, with a 7 year old son and a 6 year old black lab, they get up to the Lakes as often as they can - but prefer the off-seasons when it is quieter.

Why they chose this property

For years we had dreamed of having a place in the Lakes, and just happened to be driving past The Granary & noticed the 'for sale' sign. We loved it right away, even though we had only seen in through the windows, and put an offer in before we'd even been through the door!

What makes this property unique

Fantastic location, so much within easy reach including wonderful walks in the Coniston fells, Langdales, Fairfield, Helvellyn etc. etc. Only 15 minutes walk to Hawkshead and 10 minutes drive from Ambleside but far from the hustle and bustle. We love how quiet it is at night, sitting on the back step listening to the owls hooting. It really feels away from it all.
