Haystacks Reviews

Absolutely lovely. The cottage is gorgeous, comfortable with stunning views. It is well equiped with everything needed and is decorated to a very high standard with very comfortable beds. We all slept well. It is one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in with some lovely walks from the front door. It was lovely and peaceful and I can't rate it highly enough.

The accommodation was spotless and in a fantastic location. We could either drive out to see the local areas or just relax at Haystacks, trying out the local pubs and eating in as we wanted. Scenery is second to none from Haystacks. Will definitely return.

This is one of the best holiday lets we have stayed in. This warm and comfortable was a perfect Christmas break. The owner has put a great deal of thought into the needs of the customer throughout with a a very good welcome pack, lovely Christmas decorations, comfortable beds and furnishings. The views from the living areas are excellent. The bathrooms are warm and clean. There are less people in the Lakes at this time of year and this is an ideal place to have a winter break. Well done to Michael the owner.

Lovely accommodation and just as advertised. The views are stunning and the whole place was very well lookedafter and clean. We loved our week at the Haystacks, and the welcome bottle of prosecco was much appreciated, too. We will be back!

Our second visit and we will definitely book up for next year ! Outstanding views, fantastic quality of accommodation and amazing location for walks add it 2 lovely pubs and its a great peaceful break away.

Fantastic property, comfortable with outstanding views in a beautiful valley. The Cottage was well equipped and had so many nice touches to welcome guests. Two good local pubs. Perfect!!

One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. But we where cold and could do nothing about it.

This gorgeous property has to be seen to believe. Absolutely stunning views. The house was very comfortable with beautiful furnishings. If I was to visit the Lake District again this would be my choice again.

We have been coming here for the past 5 years which speaks volumes. We have already booked for next year! The latest changes and improvements implemented by the new owners have only enhanced the property further.

Our 2nd stay, and we will be booking again next year! The location is fantastic, with plenty of walks from the front door, and the quality of the property itself is simply outstanding. If it's sunnywarm, sitting on the balcony eating dinner, or just sitting in the living area with both doors open, watching deer playing in the field and views of Windermere Lake in the distance, is so relaxing.

Absolutely beautiful property. We've been going to the Lakes for years and this is the first time we've found somewhere we'd instantly book again. So, we did! We're coming back next year. Location fabulous. Views amazing. Comfort superb. We really can't report on anything negative about Haystacks.

Beautiful house well maintained with very good fixtures and fittings! Even a bottle of wine provided! Glorious views over to lake Windermere! Only draw back please tell visitors not to blow dry hair with door shut as this sets fire alarm off which then tripped the system to be woken at 1.45am with whole system going off! But maintenance men sorted this big shout out to Alan also unblocked a shower when he attended!

Haystacks is a wonderful property amazing views peaceful location , very comfortable accommodation a truly special place . Our sister and brother in law visiting from Australia have had a memorable holiday in this scenic area of the Lake District . Thank You for sharing your beautiful home with us and Thank You for the Welcome Gift most appreciated . We will visit again .

A perfect holiday place. This was our third or fourth visit and Haystacks is easily the best place in Troutbeck. Can think of no downsides.

We had such a wonderful stay in Haystacks! Its in a beautiful location and the views from the kitchen balcony and living room are stunning. We did lots of walks from the house and a few further afield, making the most of the very sunny weather. Haystacks is a very welcoming place to come back to after a long day of walking. We hope to return!

This property really has the WOW factor. It is simply beautiful and the views are fantastic. We were blessed with wonderful weather which made the whole visit very enjoyable and memorable. I would highly recommend. One of the best places we have stayed. The local Queen's Head Pub does excellent food and is within easy walking distance.

Stayed many times Great location and fabulous views Facilities excellent

Views to die for property top draw the only problem was no starter pack and no ... Views to die for property top draw the only problem was no starter pack and no logs or kindling left for the wood burner

My wife, brother and sister in law have just returned from a weeks break at Haystacks Cottage . The four of us really enjoyed our stay, we found the cottage was perfect for our needs, it was well equipped with stunning views to Windemere. One minor point during our stay we experienced a power outage of 40 hours due to the recent storm,. I would suggest to the owners that they provide candles or some sort of lighting for such an occasion. We were lucky as we bought extra logs with us for the log burner which kept the place warm. Apart from that it is the perfect place to stay

A beautiful property decor and furnishings high quality and thoroughly clean. Fabulous location views amazing.

Four of us stayed at this wonderful property. The cottage is finished to a very high standard and we had everything we needed for a very comfortable week away. The views are stunning from the balconies. The location is perfect for accessing good walks, local villages and towns and was a 5 min walk from The Mortal Man pub in on direction and 10 min walk to The Queens Head in the other. We visited both pubs more than once and they serve great food and were really cosy and welcoming, so really nice to have them on the doorstep. Finding the cottage is a little tricky but having read others reviews we planned ahead for that, and the parking is adequate but also slightly tricky if you drive a larger carbut thats to be expected in the Lake District and didnt bother us at all. Overall we think this is one of the best properties weve stayed in and weve been visiting the Lakes for 20 years now. We would highly recommend to others and will definitely look to book again.

This a wonderful property. Very relaxing location and interior. An amazing view from the balconies. Super helpful host. Troutbeck was lovely. The tea room and the staff were so helpful. Mortal Man was great for food

Cozy appartment with luxury kitchen and living room. Beautiful situated Village of Troutbeck with two superb pubs. Few minutes to windermere and bowness. We loved it.

Lovely cottage in a great location with great views Response to an issue from ... Lovely cottage in a great location with great views Response to an issue from lakelovers and the owner was first class Fully recommend it for a relaxing holiday

Haystacks is a beautiful property, even more stunning than the photos would lead you to believe and the view down to lake Windermere from the balconies has to be seen to be believed. The property is very well equipped with lots of character and charm. The beds are extremely comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean, well definitely be back.

Haystacks is a high quality appointment with stunning views. As two couples we were vey happy with the accommodation and location. There are two pubs within walking distance, the Mortal Man although in need of a bit of a refurb serves really good food with a range of local beers. This can be reached on foot within 4 minutes so very local. The Queen's Head which is more contemporary also has a good range of beers although we didn't eat there. The Old Post Office which is a 10 15 minute walk is worth a visit too if you fancy a coffee. Access to Windermere is straight forward allowing a trip on a steamer and the local heritage railway should you wish both of which are to be recommended. In terms of the two car parking spaces, we had no issues accessing them. Overall a lovely property in an idyllic location.

Haystacks is a lovely property in a very peaceful location with fantastic views in every direction. Perfect to explore the wider area or relax and enjoy scenic walks from the door step. The furnishings are of a high quality, we were very comfortable during our stay. The information sent by the owners prior to arrival was very useful. We will definitely look to return.

Best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. Idyllic location with fabulous views, spotlessly clean and everything top quality, kitchen extremely well equipped. We loved our stay there and owner provided very clear parking instructions. No difficulties arriving in daylight but can imagine its trickier arriving in the dark. Definitely hope to return.

Im in the lakes most weekends hiking and haystacks is perfect t for me, very warm cosy and stylish it has everything you could want, Ive heard people mention parking issues but there arent any of those either, the only complaint I had was the weather for my stay but that cant be helped. Ive booked to come back already and cant wait it really did feel like home and certainly relaxed me .

Excellent Christmas week in one of the best cottages weve stayed in. Great amenities thanks to the owners for supplementing utensils for our Christmas dinner!. Very cosy cant understand complaints about temperature and lovely log burner found a farm locally selling kiln dried logs. Fabulous views and walks when the rain stopped! Equally cant understand people complaining about the parking?! It was just fine. May well book again for a summer vacation. Couldnt fault a thing.

Beautiful views, nice location, very well equipped. We would highly recommend Haystacks!

Lovely place to stay, we had no issues at all. Lovely and clean, well equipped. Extremely comfortable bed! Not sure why some people seem to have a problem with the parking, easy enough to get to both and closer to the front door than we thought it might be.

What a superb property. A high standard of presentation, a view to die for. A great location if you want somewhere quiet, neighbours depending of course. Ours were very quiet, like us. Also a great location for walking and touring the area. Book with confidence, its the perfect property.

Lovely, clean and well presented property. Excellent views. Needs more cutlery however as constantly washing, but this is a very small niggle. We had no hot water on the second day but Lakelovers sorted this very efficiently. Overall would recommend this and we will be visiting again. Of note it is worth mentioning you have to book in advance for the queens head pub if not to be disappointed.

The property is even better in person than in the photos! Had a great time, have absolutely nothing negative to report. Would definitely love to stay again.

Lovely comfortable house Perfect for walks and local pub Would definitely stay again

A fabulous property, in a stunning position. We had a problem with the heating but both the maintenance team and the owner did everything they could to make us comfortable. The parking area was fine but a little tricky to manoeuvre in to thank goodness for plenty of cameras on my car! Medium Sized Car

We had an excellent time in Haystacks and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family.
