Landhaus mit 2 Schlafzimmern für 4 Personen

The property was beautiful and had everything we needed. We hiked Catbells, Hallin fell, and Black Moss Pot in Stonethwaite. We enjoyed a swim in Lake Ullswater-- we went to Glenridding and followed a footpath down to the water and had a little private cove all to ourselves on a hot day. We also hiked at Hadrian's wall and pursued some family history at Blenkinsopp Castle. We visited Keswick and had terrific Indian/Bangladeshi food at Saffron Kitchen. We ate breakfast for 4 days at the cottage and made two suppers while there and the kitchen had everything we needed. The only difficulty we had was communicating with the host, but I think that was more of a VRBO interface problem. VRBO was saying I had the wrong email address even though I was communicating via the VRBO app. Once I set up an account in cottages.com and reached out that way, I got a prompt response. The only thing I would suggest is to have pertinent property information posted on a paper near the kitchen table and wifi access code. It would be helpful to have general terms posted to include the check out time (since it is a bit earlier than most properties), whether we need to provide additional supplies such as toilet roll or whether those are supplied by the host, and any requirements for how to leave the property (what to do with trash and recycling, if there are other requests re: towels and bedding, etc.). We absolutely loved our stay in the beautifully updated Doddick Chase stone cottage!

Excellent location, quirky property.

The cottage is in a great location for the northern lakes giving easy access to Ulleswater, Grasmere and Windermere. The house was very clean and contained everything you would expect. Although there is a shower head in the bath it’s not easy to use as there is no shower curtain or screen. The jacuzzi was very nice though once you got the bath to a nice temperature. The heating control was a little lacking. We could not turn the temperature down in the middle single bed room and this room became very hot. Some maintenance in the kitchen is needed (I.e loose worktop and badly fitted cupboard doors). Overall a good stay which met our needs and would use again in the future
