Gardeners Cottage, Millom

This was my 2nd visit. As before I was comfortable and warm. Steve the owner was welcoming and attentive to all needs. No hesitation to return again.

Lovely cottage style accommodation in an amazing location. Close to the sea, with a beach 5min drive away and access to all the lakes locations you could want. The cottage is lovely and provides a comfy bed, hot shower and everything else you will need for a relaxing stay. The hot tub was an amazing way to end a day of walking. Steve was also a friendly and helpful host, available if needed but left you to enjoy your stay in this amazing location.

Lovely cottage, great location. Would definitely recommend to family & friends. Steve was so helpful and welcoming throughout our stay.

A lovely cottage in a tranquil setting. The perfect location for country lanebeach walks also only 35 minutes from Scafell Pike. Steve was an exceptional host and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had what we needed. Thanks very much Steve!

Really nice weekend at the cottage. So many lovely facilities and Steves hospitality was great! Really enjoyed use of the hot tub despite the weather! and also a perfect spot to explore the West Lakes. Would definitely recommend! Thanks again!

A clean, comfortable and homely cottage containing everything I needed. I would particularly like to thank Danielle for her help and patience showing me the workings of the TV. Having grasped this, I was very content sitting by the log fire every evening after my days out on the fells. I would certainly come here again.

Good points first. . gardeners cottage was cosy with an excellent wood burning stove & unlimited free supply of firewood. An adequate shower & plenty of hot water. The wood burning hot tub was excellent, in a lovely sun trap ..once again the wood supply seemed unlimited! The 4 acres of grounds were beautiful & our dog loved it! What must be said is that the new host Danielle began taking things in hand during our stay & was very helpful. Not so good In the cottage many of the facilities are a bit dated & grubby in places. The settee.. although comfortable was a little old & saggy. The grounds, although potentially beautiful, needed some overhauling & a good clean up! The walk to the hot tub was a bit of a challenge some 50 yards over uneven stepping stones All in all it has to be said we thoroughly enjoyed our stay..this place has the potential to be wonderful & we are sure that now Danielle is on the case.. this will happen.

Steve was the perfect host. It was my gf bday and requested in advance for roses to be on the bed on arrival to which he did without bother. It was extremely thoughtful. We arrived gone midnight after a 7 hour drive but next day were greeted by Steve who was very polite and thorough giving us a tour of the grounds. Showing us how the hottub works and giving us a tour of the land. Steve checked in during the week to make sure we had everything we needed and suggested places for us to visit in the nearby area. The property itself was cozy, plenty of firewood provided to light the house fire, incredible heat for those cosy nights in, everything in the property was spot on from the shower to the bed to the sofa and cooking facilities, the bed was extremely clean and comfy, the bathroom and facilities were spot on clean and the kitchen and cooking area and utensils were all clean and fresh. Overall it was a brilliant stay and we will definitely be returning in the near future. Matt Rach

On entering the property there was an overwhelming smell of ash, soot and fust. The front door and windows were open, and this did nothing to lose the smell which stayed with us the full week! The cooker and oven were dirty. Near the oven door on the cupboard next to it, was a big scorch mark, given time will catch fire. Unfortunately we did not use it, which meant having to eat out, which we did not budget for, hence booking a place which we could cook in was a given. The worktop was sticky to touch, despite it being wiped by myself daily. We had no running hot water throughout our stay, and had to boil a kettle to wash the few pots we used. The fridge was clean. The bathroom needs a deep clean. There was mould on the seal, and between the tiles. There was someone else's hair near the shower unit and their used scrunchy. The towel's did not smell freshly laundered and were very thin. No running hot water from the sink tap in the bathroom. The beds need either replacing or a mattress topper put on top of them. There were black bitsthings on the scatter cushions and the previous tenants tissues under one of the single beds. Again the bedding did not smell like it had been freshly laundered. The carpets were threadbare in places, with stains scattered around the upstairs carpets. The paint work had a thick layer of dust and felt sticky and grimy to touch. If my child had, had his way we would not have stayed the first night, and just returned home the same day we arrived. I have asked the owner for half of the fee I paid to be reimbursement if not the full payment. The owner gives himself 113 to do a turnaround between visitors, and works a job as well, this clearly is not enough time to clean the cottage and the hot tub. Can you please request a full refund, I do have photos to support my review.

A really nice property in a fantastic area of the Lake District. The host was friendly and accomodating, it was a really nice stay.

The place was absolutely stunning and the property owner Steve was absolutely wonderful, very helpful, gave us an indepth tour of the cottage and the facilities. Everything was perfect.
