Love this cottage had a wonderful few days, it was clean and had everything you need, if I’m being picky the location was a little out of the way but not a big problem just got a taxi into bowness but as I say no big deal
Leuk verblijf. Welen stukje af van restaurants maar met de auto goed bereikbaar. Zeker de moeite waard om te verblijven.

Haystacks was the perfect base for an enjoyable, relaxing holiday. We were very impressed with the cleaner who came to visit us mid week to check that everything was to our satisfaction.

Great house
Lovely house in great little estate. House was very well equipped. Walk into town takes 20 minutes, a little longer via lakeshore which is so pretty.
Only negative comment would be the stale smell from the house, perhaps dampness somewhere or maybe unoccupied for a long time: some moths took up home in each bedroom and in some clothing.
