1. Pros A) Stunning location B) Nicely presented property which is well equipped C) The pool is a real bonus in hot weather for the children D) Jeannie is very helpful, but, you will need decent French to communicate with her E) Blavat cycle hire is a must as it is great value, bikes in good condition and they deliver to your door. Cycling along the Blavet was a joy. D) Reachable after a day ferry from Portsmouth/Poole. Four and a half hours drive along good roads from Caen/Cherbourg 2. Cons (Neither directly attributable to the property) A) Wi-fi is inadequate, especially if you nee...more
We had a wonderful week in Wrynose Cottage. The location was perfect although parking a little tight. The Boot Inn and the Brook House Inn are both to be highly recommended. We had a slight issue with there not being enough hot water to fill the bath after a long walk, but this was quickly sorted out with the help of a lady who was doing the laundry. Cottage had everything that we needed, the bed was very comfortable and our dog loved playing ball in the paddock.
We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was perfect for us, a group of 4 (2 couples). We’ve stayed in several of the Bridge End Cottages and while this wasn’t our favourite we would definitely stay again. The location is perfect with 2 pubs practically on the doorstep. There are plenty of walks either straight from the cottage or within a short car journey. A beautiful part of the country which is why we return again and again
This was our first time to visit Lake District and the cottage was the perfect location. Booking the place was easy and got quick response to any questions we asked Greg and team. The cottage has so much character and my family just loved it. The surrounding areas mountains, river and waterfall just make it so peaceful. Highly recommend the place.
Wastwater Cottage is situated in an excellent location for walking and exploring the western part of the Lake District. There is good space in the main room for a large family to relax. The owners are attentive with their written guidance. We were fortunate with the weather too!
We chose to stay here for our first family holiday with our 4month old and we really had the best time. The cottage was so clean, the bed sheets smelt amazing and the team should be proud of their work, Greg the owner was very responsive to our questions and helpful on all occasions. The cottage had all the cooking facilities needed and we was able to use the washing machine and dryer which was a god send with our little girl. The cottage is located in a beautiful setting with many walks right from the doorstep which we enjoyed. Even though the cottages are attached in a row we could...more
The cottage is detached and has a secluded garden behind it and so felt very private despite having other cottages nearby. It was perfect of my wife and I as a base to explore the local area (we enjoy walking). The Ravenglass and Eskdale railway was a short walk away as were two pubs which provide excellent food, although we did also cook in the cottage as it was well equipped. We did not use our car during our four day stay as there was plenty to see nearby. The owner was quick to respond to any queries and very helpful. The cottage is not cheap but is well worth the money in my view.
Lovely cottage in tranquil setting on the river Blavet, perfect for relaxing, cycling and watching wildlife.
The spacious half- timbered villa has lots of character and picturesque charm. It's set in its own olive groves overlooking a hill-top medieval village surrounded by pine- scented alpine foothills. A magical location which is why we've returned at least five times!
