“A beautiful, warm, spacious, well equipped cottage.”

Everything you need. Lovely and clean with fluffy towels that smell amazing.! Fabulous hot tub. Wine gift on arrival which was a lovely touch. Our 2nd stay , can't fault it 10/10 Only reason may not return is no pets aloud and the lakes is a yearly holiday we have all together as a family and our daughter is getting a dog. But I fully understand alot of owners don't want pets in their properties for lots of reasons. Will recommend to friends for sure

“I didn’t write a review as soon as we got back as I wanted to reflect and give a balanced assessment.”

Firstly I would say that whilst this is a characterful cottage with plenty of space it’s not what I’d call “stunning “. There are two nice wood burners and although there was a basket of logs there was no kindling or fire lighters, so we had to buy them. There were plenty of fresh clean towels although one of the bath towels had holes in it. All the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen and dining area were very spacious and reasonably well equipped but the fridge was small and the door rack was missing so, as many other reviews have said milk bottles etc had to be stood on the shelf which took up so much room it was difficult to store other chilled foods and we were forever packing and unpacking to get stuff in and out. It was a real pain! On arrival the host was at pains to point out that the house had suffered a serious leak the previous winter and there was some damp in a corner of the kitchen so it couldn’t be decorated. Reasonable I suppose but there were several other damp patches throughout the house and to be honest the whole property could benefit from a lick of paint and a bit of tlc. There were lots of cobwebs in all the rooms and inside the windows, several with spiders in residence and the ceiling above the bookcase in the living was flaking with flakes of paint covering the furnishings below. The top floor bathroom had no radiator or hooks so nowhere to hang a robe or damp towels which meant we had to drape them over the rails/bannisters at the top of the stairs. The laminate floor in the bathroom was chipped and swollen in places. There was however plenty of hot water. The hot tub was not ready for use on our first day and when we came back to the cottage on our last full day we found the owner had changed the water for next occupants and it was in the process of reheating so we were unable to use it again. This meant that instead of having use of it for 7 nights we only had 5. When we asked him about this he was quite rude implying that it was our fault which I found offensive. We did not overuse it and always showered first and followed all instructions diligently. The hot tub did seem quite old and half the jets didn’t work, I spoke to the owner about this and he seemed quite surprised although I note that a previous visitor had complained about this same issue several months earlier. He said he would look at it but never got back to me and the fault was never rectified. There was no complimentary wine or chocolates which I wasn’t too bothered about but the pictures showing this are misleading and it is unusual in holiday cottages for the owners not to leave their guests a small gift. I noticed a lot of guests mentioned the roosters waking the at all hours, I have to say that they never disturbed us at all and we enjoyed hearing them and having them around. As others have mentioned there was a lack of cleaning materials which if you are asking guests to leave the property clean I feel should be provided rather than guests having to buy them themselves. I must have stayed in at least 30 holiday cottages mostly in the lakes and Highlands so know what to expect and overall this fell well short of expectations.

“We had an excellent holiday in a beautiful location.”

House was spacious and clean, but had some real drawbacks. Several cockerels running freely outside the windows meant crowing started anytime from from 4am, and continued during the day. The fridge is small, with nowhere to stand milk bottles - we resorted to our cold bags for veg etc. Not enough for 8 people! Could also do with more crockery - only 8 mugs, and a sieve/colander.

“Had a 3 day holiday with friends and the home did not disappoint!”

Was a bit of a struggle to find for some of the party, maybe a sign pointing down the track toward the farm would be helpful. When I drove down the road I was certain we took the wrong road, but it was the right one. Steve greeted us on arrival and showed us around and how to work things. The home its self was spacious, clean and all round perfect for us all. Kitchen was also stocked very well, most holiday homes I have been to supply the bare minimum. The only thing I will say is it would have been nice to have some fire lighters as we couldn't find any in town to light the bbq, but we managed. The only slight complaint I have is that from the pictures the garden looks more inclosed than it actually is. Which Isn’t too much of an issue because pets aren’t allowed but we came with 1 very active 3 year old. Which meant someone had to be on watch 24/7 as she kept on running off down the path. Would have been nice to have a gate so we know she couldn’t get out. Over all the stay was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. 100% recommend and will for sure be back.

The property was clean and spacious, but the doors were not locking properly and there was a bit less of privacy due to doors , better doors would make it super Also we found an alcohol Bottle of course we didn’t use it and kept it in one of the cupboards and we were not happy to find it as we are Muslims, we don’t stay in a place with Alcohol, So please ask next time if customers accept Alcohol in place or not Otherwise everything else was great thanks

“Had an amazing long weekend with a group of friends.”

Very relaxed and secluded, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life so plenty of time to relax. Has a private garden with hot tub and plenty of space to spend time in the garden and enjoy conversation over a glass or two of wine. Only a short drive into town for supplies which is a bonus as cottage only has a small fridge but dose have a cool stone porch where we stored veg etc. I also have to mention that the beds were extremely comfy. An amazing weekend had by all thankyou ☺️

“Just returned from an amazing 2 day stay at Ewedale Farm Cottage with friends.”

The house has everything you can possibly need and kitchen is well equipped. Beds are spacious and comfy and all decent size rooms. The hot tub is a lovely touch and is well maintained. The gardens and outdoor space is excellent and well maintained. Will definitely consider returning.

“Lovely Cottage.”

Beautiful location. everything was lovely apart from Rooster waking us up at 3.39 am. HA!... We live in a very quiet spot in town, so used to no noise.. I gues the countryside is a noisy place.. I need to get some sleep.. The property was well maintained and everything worked perfectly.

“What a lovely cottage, really good size, well equipped and very clean, we had a fantastic 3 nights with our older teenage kids and ther partners, the log burner and hot tub were a bonus, the only negatives for us were the very bumpy road wich Leeds into the cottages and the cockral which woke us up early a couple of times, other than that it was a perfect stay, would definitely recommend to others and will be returning sometime this year.”

“What a beautiful cottage, very clean and tidy, very spacious.”

We came this weekend to celebrate a friend's 30th birthday. On arrival we were blown away with just how amazing the cottage is. No real complaints however, we asked if there was anywhere where we could get loo roll as 3 wasn't enough for 8 people for a full weekend. I received a messaged stating this is self-catering not a hotel! Rather rude if you ask me. Also we couldn't light the fire as there was no fire lighters. Again asked and got ignored. Other than these little issues. We can not express how great our weekend was. We will definitely be back

“Absolutely loved this property and was perfect for us (8 adults, 1 infant) to be together and celebrate a family members 30th birthday.”

Amazing property, gorgeous views, lush hot tub, really really great for family get togethers. Ulverston town was a lovely little place to visit & we particularly loved that this cottage was good for visiting the Lake District but also a few coastal towns. A few things I'd recommend for the owners - we wished the cottage lounge had enough seating for the amount of people it can sleep, we ended up moving the tub chairs from the kitchen but they weren't great for movie nights. Sharp knives or a knife sharpener would of been amazing. We also struggled with towel amount so either additional towels or a recommendation on the listing to bring your own hot tub towels :)

“Fabulous week with our grown up children at the farmhouse.”

The place is very clean and well looked after. The wine and chocolate was a great touch. The beds are very comfortable and the towels are soft. The farmhouse is in a beautiful setting with well kept grounds and the added bonus of friendly cats and dogs. It is in a great location, close to Windermere and Coniston and the coast. The town of Ulverston is a short car journey away with loads of places to eat and drink and a few good shops. Would definitely recommend this to family and friends.

“We had a wonderful holiday it was absolutely perfecto for our family.”

The cottage was beautiful and spotlessly clean. It was incredibly family friendly, stair gate at top of stairs and plastic cups, cutlery, bowls and plates available for little ones. The gardens are beautiful and my son loved exploring into the trees! We will definitely return.

“Had a fantastic weekend away family of 6, can’t fault the cottage one bit, beautiful property very spacious but felt cosy.”

Finished to a very high standard, with great attention to detail. Made to feel very welcome on arrival then left allowed to enjoy. Bottle of wine and chocolates very nice touch. Will definitely be booking again and recommending to friends.

Tim September 2022

“Gorgeous property, really picturesque, rustic house and very stylish.”

Facilities were excellent, bedrooms and bathrooms were all lovely. Common areas were both spacious and comfortable. Really can't fault the way the place has been set up. The private back garden was excellent and the perfect spot for the hot tub. Ample parking for four cars. Honestly the only minor niggles I can bring up were: The kitchen was a bit under provisioned with regards to cooking utensils and pans/bakeware, similarly there wasn't sufficient cleaning products. So cleaning up before we left was a bit more of a task than it should have been. The hot tub was only warming up when we got there and was unusable on the first night, given that we only had two days there, this felt like we'd been a bit short changed on that front, as had it been cleaned earlier we'd have been in it straight away Friday night. Finally there wasn't a welcome pack (that we could find) with all information included, I had to reference emails and the original listing to identify everything we had to do before leaving, really minor this but if this information was simply printed out and left somewhere obvious that would have been really helpful. However, even with the minor issues we had, I can still very highly recommend this property and would happily revisit in the future. It was very comfortable, really stylish and pretty, and thoroughly good value.
