Stepping stones is a fabulous house in an amazing setting it is however in need of significant upgrade work none of the sockets in the living room and some in the kitchen worked over the first weekend . Eventually after many phone calls an electrician sorted for us on the Sunday after a 2nd visit. The bath in the blue room is unusable as the plug doesnt fit and the shower over the bath has no screen or curtain meaning any water splashed on the floor makes its way through the dining room ceiling not good

We loved the house, the location and views. All the rooms were lovely and comfortable, with all that you need in a home, and more. Great walking nearby and lakes to go on. A large table for family meals and another for the holiday puzzle. We would highly recommend.

This house and location are perfect, and as a result weve stayed here several times and will continue to do so. However, there was an unfortunate issue. We were due to take over the property at 4 p.m. on the Friday as per our booking. We received a telephone message at 115 p.m. advising us of pipelaying to the front of the property and that there was an issue with access. We were told we would be offered alternative accommodation if we decided we didnt want to take the property. We went to the property and the front was a real mess. In short, after several difficult phone calls, we decided to take the property as it was exactly what we wanted. There were clearly mitigating circumstances regarding the work, and the owner himself was very helpful. Our main gripe was with Lakelovers who, in fairness, were trying their best, but we felt we werent informed of the works until less than three hours before we arrived. We made the most of it despite the awkward access and would thoroughly recommend it.

The listing is ambiguous. It suggests 4 double bedrooms and a twin. In fact, the twin is in the attic, not on a stated second floor. We spent some time looking for a second floor. The attic is stated as unsuitable for adults, so it is a four doublebedroom house sleeping 8, plus a fourbed attic suitable for ages 515 perhaps. Needs clarifying. We managed, but two people ended up sleeping on the floor. As we were in jolly spirits and only there for the weekend, that was fine. Others may think otherwise. The house overall is fabulous and easily accommodates a large group.

The property was great very warm surprising for such a big house in February. The only negative was trying to speak to an actual person before the holiday . I was trying to find out if logs would be at the house it has a wood burner it took numerous phone calls and emails to get an answer.

Lovely house. Plenty of room and in a beautiful setting. The bedrooms are huge and very comfortable.

Left things behind in the house, its a week later and Im trying to gr through to speak to someone about this and each day theyre starting me off me a new person with no updates! !!! Terrible customer service. The actualy property is great and I would have given fab reviews but the after service is shocking!!!!! Its impossible to speak to someone, they will only let me text someone which they dont always reply to

Lovely house. Second time we have stayed. Great location

It was our 2nd stay at Stepping Stones as we love the area & position of the house. We noticed that there has been some decorating & updating, but felt that some rooms were quite shabby looking & definitely in need of decoration & refurbishing. The front porch wood is quite rotten & gives a bad first impression, much worse than when we last stayed. Some light bulbs werent working & were mismatched on chandeliers which looked odd. The shower screen was missing over one of the baths so the shower could not be used, & also plugs not attached on basins & baths! There looked to be quite a lot of black mould in the kitchen which affected a couple of the party with allergies. There was a planned electric cut on the Thursday & it was off all day as thought but when it came back on, quite a few sockets would not work so we had no TV in the lounge, or lamps or microwave for the last night & Friday morning. A lovely setting & house, but it needs some decoration & attention to detail, so would not choose to go back as it is.

Stepping Stones is a stunning cottage, where you feel like you are the lord or of your own manor. The rooms are stunning, with high ceilings and large windows, giving you that feeling of grandure. Breathtaking scenery on your doorstep, and all the amenities that makes it feels like a home away from home. We booked this stay, as part of our wedding week, getting married at the nearby Venue of Cote How. The Cottage is truly stunning, and we will be likely be returning in the future, as a home base for enjoying the Lake district.

Absolutely superb property for our recent stay in the Lakes. We loved the space two families sharing but also the ability to all eat together and chill together in the garden or in the living room. Its a perfect location with a 20 minute walk into Ambleside and walks on the doorstep around and over Loughrigg Fell and Fairfield horseshoe. Also great we could bring our dogs to enjoy their walks and family time too.

Excellent property suited my family very well. The little ones loved the loft area. All the little extra made it a real home from home. The garden and sitting out area was an added bonus.

A fabulous property in a wonderful location, with everything you need for a fantastic holiday. We loved our stay here. Some beautiful walks directly from the property which is situated in the heart of the Lakes. There was nothing I could see that was not available at the property. We were a large family group and we all had a fantastic holiday.

Undoubtedly a fantastic location, but bad smells from the sewer system, noisy generator or pump operating all night, and general repairs required. Had reported these to Sykes, but no reply!
