The Stables Lake District Retreat by PolkaStays

Clean, comfortable, and good value accommodation, but clearer check-in instructions and better customer support would im Positive: The apartment was clean, comfortable, and good value for money. The location was convenient for exploring the Lake District, and the facilities provided everything we needed for our stay. Overall, the accommodation itself met our expectations and we had an enjoyable stay. Negative: Finding the correct apartment was quite confusing, as there were several apartments at the same location and it was not clear which one we had booked. More detailed directions and check-in information would have been helpful. In addition, when I tried to contact the company using the phone number provided, I could only access automated options and voicemail. For urgent issues, it would be reassuring to have a direct contact number where someone can be reached.

Excellent. Great location, just off A66. The apartment was well equipped and very clean. Positive: Great location for exploring the Lakes. Parking available and easy to get to property. Very peaceful and quiet especially at night. Negative: Everything was good. Will stay again.

Once booking.com sorted the issues out we had the stay was a pleasant one Positive: The Cottage was lovely The surrounding area was stunning. the cottage itself was exceptionally clean and comfortable Negative: One of the big selling points was the washing machine with being fell walkers and it being spring you do tend to gather some dirt to your hiking clothes, however the washing machine was broke from the last visitors staying there and not repaired be fore reletting. we also had an issue with marked bedding on arrival and a broken toilet seat that were quickly dealt with

Disappointing, heating was broken Positive: Good location Negative: Heating was broken on arrival in the middle of winter, the place was messy on arrival, kitchen missing basic necessities, overall not worth the money

Loved this place! Rural, quiet and cosy! Positive: We loved the location (off the beaten track and away from everything). Super quiet at night. Loved the birds and the farm dogs, horses, cows & sheep. There was also a farm shop 1mile away so we had everything we needed. The place was super clean and had all of the ameneties we needed to live as we do at home (wifi / TV / dishwasher / washing machine / microwave etc). The water from the boiler was also super hot and the shower was amazing after hiking/swimming. Negative: Would have liked a brush or a vacuum cleaner as we stayed 4 nights and the wood flooring got a little dusty / dirty towards the end. Didn't like the noisy guests from the other rental properties (but appreciate that is not the fault of the owners).
