    Can’t really think of anything if I am honest.

    Amazing! I got this as a present for my partners birthday. Thank you to Christian and Jess for having us. The views with the hot tub were beautiful, couldnt ask for anything better for a relaxing break.

    The water pressure in the bathroom wasn’t very good at all.

    Loved that even though you’re in someone’s garden it doesn’t feel like it. Very scenic, lovely view, loved the sound of the river. Hot tub was lush!

    there was no images as stated by the owners to use the hot tub so we had to get in it code which was very very disappointing as we went there specifically for the hot tub, after the stay we was getting emails and my friend got a phone call regarding towels then got threatened by the owners of them reporting it as theft we looked through our things and didn't have any towels belonging to the place and when going through our things noticed we had left one of our own grey towels there which the owners didn't mention in any message when they was asking about their own towels so we are a towel down and a bit upset about the constant emails regarding towels it put stress on us when we went away to distress so the break ended up making us feel different kind of stress so we have had to book a night somewhere else just to switch off before I'm back teaching on Monday I think the 4 messages regarding towels was a bit too much it's not like it was a TV or anything just a towel has been misplaced and they are threatening to report it as theft if we don't take it back not being funny but if we did have it misplaced in our luggage we wouldn't drive so far to drop a towel anyway its a bit weird

    The place was beautiful, the owners really do look after the place, the location is excellent and the hot tub was lovely the first night although the second night it was freezing,

    Nitpicking here at best. Radiators are a bit sporadic with when they are heating and shower isn’t the most powerful but does a job. Bar that perfect.

    Great location, great facilities. Owners are great people and offer a lot of recommendations for you to try in Penrith. They have a very friendly cat called dude who will make herself known for some attention.

    No wifi (I think the bad weather was to blame) Just needed a few extra touches like some coat hooks and a microwave.

    Comfortable, clean and inviting accommodation. Great hot tub.

    We were a little uncomfortable being in someones garden and so close to the house. Hosts never bothered us at all and blinds were always closed, were just used to a bit more seclusion. We had a lovely relaxing stay though xx

    The chalet was lovely and had everything we needed. It was lovely and clean and comfortable.

    A light at the first gate when you arrive would be good, I couldn't see how it opened. The hot tub is wonderful but some instructions on how to use it would be great, especially as the night was so dark and cold and we struggled to get the cover off. We took extra towels and croc type footwear but it might be useful to remind guests that robes etc for the tub are not provided.

    Great location though on a dark winter's night easy to miss and go sailing passed (as I did!) Good instructions from the owners on where they are though and how to get in. Very warm and comfortable on a very frosty night and really handy to have an oven, we just popped to Sainsbury's 5 minutes away for pizza as my friend arrived late. Very welcoming hot tub helped the relaxation process! (Thank you for putting the cover back on!)
