“Lovely cottage, good facilities but dissatisfied with the cleanliness.”

Used sanitary towels left in the en-suite bathroom which is a bio hazard. Informed the owners but they told us there was nothing they could do. So we had to put up with it which I find unacceptable and therefore cannot recommend. Other items missing off the inventory and the en-suite large shower head does not work. For the amount of money charged they should be able to carry out repairs.

Thank you for your feedback, it is always useful. Unfortunately , your insights were only shared after you had finished your holiday. You had all of our contact details and we pride ourselves in responding and trying to solve any issues quickly for our guests. We have previously had an excellent cleanliness rating and the bin not being emptied was unacceptable, but we were not informed at the time. We have, of course, spoken to our cleaners so there is never a repeat. The shower does work and it was user error to not get the water feed through. Again we could have helped with this. Finally, we always ask all guests to advise us of any breakages or gaps in our inventory so we can replace quickly. We didn’t know there were gaps. Thank you for highlighting to us and we will resolve. We are very sorry you experienced these issues. Property Owner

Evelyn May 2024

“Sunny Point is a lovely, cosy cottage in a great location.”

We had everything we needed. We were able to cover wide areas of the Lake District. The local pub is very friendly.

- Evelyn, May 2024

Thank you so much for a wonderful review. We are so glad you enjoyed it and hope to see you again. Property Owner
Angela April 2024

“Last minute decision to get away and decided on The Lakes and 1 Sunny Point Cottages just ticked all the boxes for us, parking, dog-friendly, woodburning stove (not that we used it in the end, the underfloor heating was great) and centrally located, and being close to a pub was a bonus.”

We were not disappointed and are even thinking of a return visit with family later in the year. Well-appointed, nicely decorated, warm and comfy. We had some lovely walks, along country lanes and lovely, well signed footpaths without having to get the car out. We even saw some deer. The Sun Inn just down the road was very welcoming, with a roaring open fire and loads of character and very dog-friendly, very nice food too. All in all a charming cottage, a credit to the owners who have beautifully renovated it, a real labour of love. Thank you, we hope to return. Have a good season, Angie and Rich (and Honey and Sadie, our Romanian rescues) x

- Angela, April 2024

What super feedback Angie, Rich, Honey and Sadie. We are delighted you found our cottage warm, comfy and well appointed. It’s a beautiful area and we are so glad you had a great time. Property Owner
Paul January 2024

“1sunny point is one of the best cottages we have stayed in and we have been doing cottage holidays for over 20yrs.”

It felt like home as soon as you walked in, with a lovely welcome pack. the kitchen was well equipped and lovely to cook in, with the family feel for games night. The fire was great as it kept us snug after cold wet January days out, and we all slept well in the amazingly comfortable beds. The cottage is situated in a great location for exploring the lakes with a lovely cozy pub literary 5 minutes away serving perfect pub grub. We will definitely be back.

- Paul, January 2024

Paul, thank you for your superb feedback, we are so glad you enjoyed Sunny Point cottage, Property Owner
Kaye October 2023

“We had a wonderful stay at 1 Sunny Point Cottages It was clean & tidy throughout and the beds were very comfortable beds ensuring a good night's sleep It was warm & cosy at all times There was a full basket of logs and clear instructions on how to use the fire although we did not need to as we were warm enough during our stay It is next to a main road although this did not bother us during our stay The only issue we did have is the garden is at the front which is lovely but our dog would have easily got over the small garden wall so we didn't let him out unless we were with him on the lead Lors of information was provided about the cottage and the local area and the hamper was very well received especially the dog treats!”

- Kaye, October 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback, we are so pleased you loved the warm Cumbrian cottage. We’ll let our cleaners know too about your excellent feedback. We’ve tried to give attention to all details so it is so wonderful when we see you appreciate it, thanks again and we all hope to see you again. Property Owner
Andrew October 2023

“Thank you for a lovely stay and for accommodating us last minute.”

It was a beautiful cottage - very comfortable and clean and in a lovely area. We initially had an issue with the WiFi but the owner was really responsive in helping us to resolve it.

- Andrew, October 2023

Andrew, thank you for your positive words and feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and we wish you luck with your move. Property Owner
Julie September 2023

“Lovely property in an ideal location, majority of it was excellent, everything you need in the kitchen comfortable beds and nice bathrooms, which is most important.”

Nice cottage lounge, which i never used as out all day, and evenings we went to bed after cooking evening meals as we were shattered after long walking days. Cottage always felt warm and cosy. We did have a couple of niggles but this would not stop us from staying again, as issues which can be easily put right. These included a hoover that did not work, my husband had to clear the blocked tube, clean filter, empty full canister of dirt and unravel hair and dirt wrapped around brushes, however it still did not pickup and we resorted to a sweeping brush. Some cooking utensils and pan in oven we had to wash before use as thick with grease and food residue, downstairs loo under seat was stained and not clean, unit tops under chopping boards full of crumbs, so I completely wiped unit tops down. Corners in rooms had small webs so i did sweep a few corners. Just general cleanling routine of cleaners needs addressing, nothing detrimental to the accommodation and we would return. The front door lock needs some attention as very difficult to unlock from inside, i think the door has just swollen in wet weather. There is a washer-dryer that takes a small load 4kg, but takes an age to dry, there is however an airer which we used and placed in front porch and washing dried while we were out. Did not like the table top ironing board, would have preferred a stand alone type. There was a dishwasher which we never used. There are several high steps or a steep slope to access the cottage but if you have no struggle walking, again this would not be a problem, but worth considering if you struggle. No problem for young families. Parking is in a layby on a quiet back road, front road is busy and fast, this was not a problem for us, we supervised 2 dogs when let out for a wee but garden not suitable for young children. I would definitely recommend as a nice place to stay, just sort the cleaners please, who appear only to be doing a ‘what they see’ clean. I would have given 5 star if cleaning had been better.

- Julie, September 2023

Hi, thank you for your feedback. It is a shame it didn’t meet our high standards as most of our guests love the cottage. Our cleaners have been informed of your concerns and we have personally inspected it. Property Owner
Karen July 2023

“Lovely cottage, very well decorated, furnished, equipped, extremely comfortable bed (I slept better here than I have in weeks).”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book again. Not too far from Bowness which is easily accessible via car, just about a 10 minute drive. Convenient parking to the rear of the property.

- Karen, July 2023

Thanks for your lovely, insightful feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and the cottage Property Owner

Sarah May 2023

“Fabulous property.”

The owners have made their holiday cottage a true ‘home from home’. It’s been beautifully renovated, whilst exposing some of the original features of the property. Thank you for providing such good quality beds; it certainly makes a difference! The owners are very attentive and made us feel very welcome. The road is rather busy, but it was half term and the weather was better than abroad, so no doubt contributed to additional traffic! On saying that, we were out most of the day, so it didn’t bother us and was much quieter from 6pm. The whole property was very well-equipped. The only things we missed were a bbq and fizz glasses. I would highly recommend the cottage and would love to stay again. Thank you.

- Sarah, May 2023

Sarah, thanks for your lovely feedback, we and are cleaners always try to go the extra mile so it’s great to hear it is appreciated. I’m afraid we haven’t a BBQ due to insurance but can certainly sort out ‘fizz flutes’ next time you join us. X Property Owner
Megan May 2023

“Had a lovely long weekend at Sunny Point Cottage.”

The cottage has everything you could need. Loved sitting outside and we visited the Sun Inn pub which was a minute up the road which was lovely and great with dogs! Would come back and recommend!

- Megan, May 2023
Carl May 2023

“A lovely warm, cosy and tastefully decorated cottage in a wonderful location too.”

It was a delight to return and relax after a long day walking and exploring surrounding areas. The beds are also super comfortable! We have stayed in a number of cottages and this is definitely one of the best. We look forward to retuning in September and would highly recommend.

- Carl, May 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback on our cottage that as you know we have recently renovated ourselves. We, and our cleaners, take pride in making it an enjoyable stay. It is great to see you have booked again and we really look forward to welcoming you all back in September. Property Owner

Nicola January 2023

“We were two adults, a toddler and a dog.”

Really beautiful cottage, so nicely done out, a modern and luxury feel but still with traditional features. We were so comfortable we didn’t want to leave! The fire was amazing, and underfloor heating very much a bonus. The ‘main road’ outside the house is a B road, no streetlights and isn’t busy. Cars are going past from time to time but it didn’t bother us at all inside the cottage. The personal touches were much appreciated, thank you to the owners. Highly recommended all round.

- Nicola, January 2023

Nicola, we are so pleased you all enjoyed our cottage. Newly renovated we have put a lot of personal effort in so it’s great to see the balance of traditional features and modern comforts works well. We hope we can welcome you again x Property Owner
Rachel December 2022

“We had a lovely stay at 1 Sunny Point cottage over New Year - such a lovely place that’s been refurbished really well.”

We didn’t have the best weather whilst there, but as we had our dog with us we still got out every day for walks - coming home to the cosy surroundings, especially the underfloor heating and fireplace, meant we soon warmed up! We also loved the fact that the kitchen was so well stocked in terms of utensils, pans, ovenware etc - really felt like a home from home and made it easy to prep meals of an evening. Location was great - close to Kendal, Bowness and Windermere for supermarkets (we love a Booths!) and other shops, but in a quiet little hamlet that meant you benefited from the peaceful surroundings. Parking was no issue - the lay by directly behind the house always had space. The cottage is on a main road, but it’s not very busy at all so this didn’t detract for us. Would love to go back and highly recommend!

- Rachel, December 2022
Joanne December 2022

“A true little gem !”

The description of this lovely little cottage couldn’t explain how warm , cosy and tasteful it actually is, Attention to detail always makes the difference and I can honestly say the owners have thought of everything to have made our stay a home from home , even down the Christmas decorations. Large enough for our family of 6 and 2 dogs with ample towels , a kitchen with every cooking tool at hand and beautiful comfortable bedding. Excellent location too, with beautiful walks but close enough to many of the towns, We have stayed at many holiday cottages but this one is up there as one of the best . Looking forward to our return visit.

- Joanne, December 2022

Joanne, it is great to hear how much you enjoyed the cottage and your stay. See you again, Property Owner
Marilyn September 2022

“We were a group of 4 plus a dog.”

The cottage was lovely and comfortable. Well maintained and full of character. Lovely large kitchen. Cosy lounge with log burner. Beautiful colourful garden with apple trees. Weather was kind to us and we enjoyed sitting in garden after our walks. Location was ideal for exploring area. Delighted with our welcome gift.

- Marilyn, September 2022

Hi Marilyn, thank you so much for your glowing feedback on our cottage, Sunny Point. You marked us down slightly on listing accuracy and comfort but gave us no further detail. If you could be kind enough to share that with us then we can improve upon it for other guests. Many thanks again, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay, Matt and Jo x Property Owner
Victoria August 2022

“Thank you for our stay.”

You have such a charming cosy cottage in an ideal location to travel into Kendal and windmere. You accommodated all of our needs which made our stay so much more relaxing. We had such a lovely time and would definitely come back again. We will be highly recommending your cottage to others.

- Victoria, August 2022

Your feedback is brilliant, thanks so much as it means a lot to us and is useful for any future guests. Property Owner
Maria August 2022

“This is a beautiful cottage and the owners had really thought about every aspect of our stay.”

It's set in a lovey, quiet location but in easy reach of the bigger towns and walks. It was spotlessly clean and the décor was in true keeping with the age of the cottage - we couldn't fault it... The owners left a lovely welcome hamper, which was greatly appreciated by us and our dogs, and they sent a quick email to see if we'd settled in okay and if we needed anything. We will definitely be staying here again when we visit The Lakes again.

- Maria, August 2022

Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback for our cottage. We will be sharing it also with our brilliant cleaners as they look after it for our guests like it is their own. We are so pleased you appreciated it. Property Owner
Tiffany July 2022

“Fabulous cottage renovated with much love and a wonderful style”

- Tiffany, July 2022

Thanks for your comments, we are so glad you liked Sunny Point. I’ve contacted you separately to as why you have marked the cottage down on a couple of aspects as your comments don’t say why. Please can you share this detail back with us so we may address them for our future guests, take care. Property Owner
Gillian July 2022

“An absolutely beautiful house, with everything we could have wanted.”

Sally June 2022

“What a fantastic cottage, so well equipped, cosy and with some beautiful features all competed to a very high standard.”

So lovely to find dog chews and bowls on arrival as well as wine for us and some wonderful dark chocolate. Had a fair bit of rain so wet clothing and dogs but plenty of drying hooks and wood burner to cosy up next to in the evening. Didn’t want to leave. Thank you

- Sally, June 2022

Thank you for your very positive feedback, we hope to see you again, Matt and Jo Property Owner
Mary June 2022

“The cottage was lovely and we really enjoyed our stay.”

Very central for visiting Windermere, Coniston and Ulswater. The cottage has been recently renovated to a very high standard is one of the best equiped cottages we have ever stayed in. I would have no hestitation in booking it again.

- Mary, June 2022

Thank you so much for your feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Sunny Point so much. Property Owner
Michael May 2022

“We found the cottage clean and comfortable.”

The kitchen appliances were all very good. The cottage was cleverly designed to make the best use of the available space. Provision of coathooks was brilliant. Limited storage space in the bedrooms due to their size. Kichen would benefit from a storage cupboard for food, eg no bread bin. Nervous drivers may be troubled by the access to and from the road. Howver overall we enjoyed our holiday in the cottage and appreciated the lovely views around.

- Michael, May 2022

Hi Michael, thank you for your insights it’s always useful. Unfortunately a couple of the items we can’t address as these traditional Lakeland cottages are quaint and small but Sunny Point is more spacious than many. We’ve managed to have a wardrobe in each room with hanging space and shelves and there is usually space under the beds for your luggage. In the kitchen there are 2 pull out baskets for the storage of bread, tins or fruit and veg. The cottage has off road parking behind it and to get to this you take a fork turning off the main road. We can understand that if you wish to turn right onto this front road from the rear of the cottage it is a sharp turn. If anyone feels nervous about this then we suggest turning left and turning around in the pub car park 200m and then back up the road in that direction. Property Owner
Patrick May 2022

“Fabulous cottage set in an ideal location.”

The cottage is extremely comfortable and has been finished to a very high quality with everything you could possibly need. Anyone who visits Sunny Point will definately return - we certainly will. Oh, and visitors should book a meal at The Black Labrador, the food is incredible.

- Patrick, May 2022

Thank you Patrick, that is incredible feedback for everyone involved in Sunny Point. We look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

James April 2022

“A nice location.”

House was well laid out.beds comfortable. Nice to have washing machine and dryer but would have been nice to hang washing outside has weather was good but there was no facilities for it. Closed garden ok but had to keep eye on dog he jumped over wall when another dog put his nose over wall. We have a small mini jack and he jumped on wall into road so panic. Parking was ok for are 2 cars.

- James, April 2022

Thanks for your feedback, we are delighted you had a great stay. We will address your feedback where we can. We are already changing our cleaners. I am afraid we can’t do anything about the height of the garden traditional lake stone walls, they are as per the photos. Property Owner
Joanne March 2022

Amanda March 2022

“Had a wonderful stay in this very welcoming cottage that has amazing views.”

There are all the amenities that you need and more. The beds are comfortable and everywhere was lovely and warm. It’s situated on a quiet road, but only a short walk from the pub and drive into Kendal. We had a problem with a flat tyre on departure day. The owners were easy to contact and helpful. Would recommend this cottage as a great base for whatever your plans are in the Lakes.
