Dunkeld Cottage - ideal for touring the Lake District National Park! WiFi.

Dunkeld Cottage is a chocolate box style cottage in a gorgeous village setting - ideal for touring the Lake District! The cottage features stunning beams and original period features throughout, with everything thought of to make your stay a comfortable, relaxing one! The cottage dates back to 1820 and yet has been extremely well maintained and looked after - with all the mod cons! The kitchen/breakfast room is particularly lovely and has pretty views over the garden and is very spacious. All of the appliances you could need are here - including integral dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, slow cooker and of course a hob and double oven. There is a spacious and cosy lounge/dining room which features a lovely (ornamental) fireplace, beamed ceilings throughout, comfy sofas, smart TV (ideal for Netflix evenings!), super-fast WiFi, and a desk with leaflets on the local area and further seating. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, again, boasting glorious beams throughout and are very charming. The master bedroom features a kingsize bed and the second bedroom has twin beds which can also be pushed together to make a supering. Both bedrooms have plenty of storage for your clothes and personal items. There is also a bathroom with a bath - ideal for a bubbly soaking after a long Lake District walk! The garden is fully enclosed and private and there is plenty of room for you to bring your bikes - and probably anything else like a canoe etc.. - just ask us! We love the fact that Ullswater is around a 15 minute scenic drive from the cottage and our favourite day out is a day's walking along the Ullswater Way and combining it with a boat ride along the lake and something to eat in Pooley Bridge or Patterdale. However, equally, the Pennines are the backdrop of the cottage, and if you want to head away from the crowds that can sometimes gather in the summer, then a delightful stroll around Pennine country may be just what you need! Likewise, Keswick is only a relatively short, scenic drive away - we recommend a boat trip, a hike up the famous Cat Bells, followed by a pub lunch or dinner in the fantastic town centre. There's so much to do - you'll need to keep coming back to do more! :)

Gorgeous cottage with everything you could need
Thanks so much Chloe for having us all to stay. You are a great host, very helpful and always on hand. The cottage is lovely, very spacious and the garden is completely private and enclosed. Kitchen cupboards are full of anything you could possibly need which is really helpful.

Cottage was lovely…… all the comforts of home. Very cosy and within reach of lots of good places to eat & explore The Lakes! (We also loved looking at the pictures by the owner which are on display in the property!)

3 stars seems a perfectly fair summary for this property.
There was plenty that was good and overall it fully met our needs - but not our expectations (which were founded on the five star reviews and expectedly flattering photos and so were perhaps unrealistic / unwise). There are plenty of good points: • Chloe is exceptionally professional: pleasant, efficient and easy to deal with • The property is well equipped overall - especially electrical items and the new bath / shower • Location, space, ease of access and essential comforts are all good • On balance it’s fair value But • the overall state of repair is only adequate and clearly in decline (recent reviews raise niggles which have only been partially addressed). • First impressions are not good at all - the outside - doors, windows, gate, locks are all in a bad state. (perhaps this tainted our view) • Inside also needs much more care - several minor fixes, a new main bed (the divan’s falling apart - with discarded 3 pieces of wood / shelves under the mattress to presumably, compensate for broken parts), a fair degree of refreshment (repainting +), a clearout of the kitchen (replace several pans that are scratched or have wobbly handles etc, and a decent declutter) • The smell – not sure what this was, possibly a dead mouse under the floor boards? And there was definitely also a smell of dogs on the furniture. Scented candles and Febreze got us through, but this added significantly to the sense of more care being needed. • WiFi is poor Overall the place feels uncared for - which rather clashes with the presentation as sharing someone else’s holiday home. I’d suggest the owners would do well to spend a couple of weeks living here, which would surely open their eyes to all the minor issues and ensure they are addressed for future residents.

A lovely little break
We spent 3 nights at the cottage and had a wonderful time. The instructions prior to arrival were great including details of a more scenic route. Key access was easy and the welcome folder was a very good idea. The cottage had all the facilities we required for me and my young family. Definitely would recommend.

A lovely warm and welcoming cottage with a cosy kitchen. However the bed in the main bedroom was extremely soft and as a result uncomfortable. We couldn't get either of the TVs to work and the bathroom window leaked.

Lovely cottage in quiet village.
This is a lovely cottage with tasteful decor. Easy parking on quiet street, near local shop. Would have scored full marks but for a few niggles. Lights in the bathroom were dead and bulbs needed replacing. Damaged bedroom furniture drawers. Kitchen TV not receiving signal. Oven door not closing fully due to bad fitting. An upgrade of some facilities would make this place a real gem.
