Winster Fields Reviews

Maureen

Wonderful views from the elevated position. Dark skies promised a spot of stargazing, but of course it was cloudy. Lovely comfy beds and pillows. The main room has 3 super comfy sofas and a very well appointed kitchen. Small niggle was the kettle needs replacing, but happy to see a coffee machine. A nice touch to have milk, tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits to start us off. Very interesting artwork and wall hangings. I would have loved to know the link to Bhutan. A couple of tips. On the single track journey take your time and trust your satnav. On the last day we found a honesty box just behind the cottage where we could buy fresh eggs. What a treat.

Maarten

Great, spacious and well equipped place with wonderful views and great walking opportunities right on your doorstep.

The house was very spacious and clean and was in a good location for reaching the main destinations. Walks and good pubs nearby. The beds were very comfortable, a good nights sleep was had by all. The road up to the property is very narrow and takes a bit of getting used to, but is manageable. The sofa and tv are a bit dated and could do with upgrading, but its a lovely house overall with great views.

Angela

Absolutely loved this place. Beautiful inside with stunning views and walks in every direction. Maybe needs a smart TV but we were lucky with the weather so we were not sat in. Great value for money.

Thanks we really enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future. Very lovely location and a property that catered for all our needs.

Fantastic property in a lovely, quiet corner of the Lakes. We found it to be wellequipped, comfy and wonderfully warm despite the chilly weather outside. It's ideally placed for visits to Windermere and beyond. There are plenty of walks from the doorstep including to the alwaysexcellent Mason's Arms at Bowland Bridge. Loads of parking but be aware that the surrounding lanes are rather narrow and often steep although there's very little traffic.

Rodney

Great location, very picturesque and quiet. Good size comfortable house. It needs a proper deep clean, unwashed cutlery, sticky hob, TV remote control was filthy. We left the house much cleaner than we found it. Happy with the price but we wouldn't return unless we could be assured the house had been thoroughly cleaned. Generic descriptions of property were misleading. We thought that it had a wood burner and an external EV charging point. We couldn't find either, although the adjacent cottage had a wood burner. The new front door lock was problematic and requires resetting. It took several attempts by others in our group to open the lock from the inside of the house which could be a safety hazard in the event of an emergency. The hot water system cut out on 2 separate occasions and required rebooting and we were relieved that your responsive and helpful customer support lady was available to take my call and instruct us on how to do this. Apparently you know of this issue and it's surprising it hasn't been rectified. I trust you find these comments helpful.

The property is in lovely quiet location through narrow lanes ,easy access to the southern lakes . Our stay was mostly positive however a few niggles is that we ran out of toilet roll so we had to buy some as there were no spare ones available in the property or any that we could find.The front door lock is a bit fiddly as the key kept turning and not locking but eventually found a way to lock it..Bit more attention to cleaning as cobwebs on the ceilings in a few rooms and a strange eggy smell coming from the sinktap in the upstairs bathroom. Bit of strange one is that there were lazy wasps every morning in the kitchen lounge area most were dead but a few alive but didn't cause any issues. These are minor niggles as we enjoyed our stay ,all amenities are there and the property was quiet plus 20 mins walk to a pub via some fields to the Masons arms is a bonus..Lovely neighbours behind the property and could buy fresh hen eggs off them. Iron out the niggles as stated and it would be a perfect place to stay.

Rachel

We arrived to find 2 wasp nests on the roof which were allowing wasps into the kitchen under the units. Despite the exterminator coming, the wasps remained and we had many many wasps coming into the living area. We left half way through the week as we have young children and could do nothing to stop the wasps coming in and did not want them to be stung.

Pamela

It would have been nice to have had bath sheets and not bath towels as far to small. Extra toilet paper also one roll in each bathroom for 4 people not ideal I had to go buy extra. The property hadn't been cleaned properly, there were dead flys and insects behind the tv which again not ideal.

Stephen

The property was comfortable, well equipped and clean. The parking is excellent and the view was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Can heartily recommend. The access to the property may be a little daunting to some drivers due to the narrow lanes but they were quiet and we rarely had to pull over for oncoming vehicles.

Elizabeth

Outstanding location and views. Cannot fault the position. Take foil and cling film and frying pan. There is frying pans there but they are all like woks.

Everything was great. From beginning until the end. Our workers who have stayed here were really happy and enjoyed their stay. We will certainly come back!

We found the property spacious and bright, and set in a lovely spot. Had pretty much everything we needed in the kitchen and it was a comfortable stay. Kitchen appliances feel a little aged, but everything working as should be. House was extremely warm throughout, and we had no issues staying cosy in the autumn winter. Thanks for a nice stay in this beautiful part of the world!

The problem we had was the furnace was malfunctioning. Although a couple of repair people came by and one got the system working the day after we arrived, by the morning it was not working again. The first maintenance person left us with three portable heaters, which helped a lot. I had no shower for four days. The owners offered us a refund of 100 UK, but we have not received this yet. We found the directions for the appliances difficult to follow and really did not want to read a manual to use the microwave or washerdryer. Index card instructions would have been great. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay in this wonderful spot. Sally

This was our second visit to Winster Fields and it was probably even better this time. The view is lovely, the local setting spectacular and the property itself is excellent it is bright and welcoming with everything we needed for a relaxing and reenergising time. The slight remoteness of the property was, for us, an added bonus. And the WiFi is still very good. The weather was mixed but that's the Lake District. It was no problem spending time inside at Winster Fields on the two wet days we did the OS map jigsaw puzzle provided, although having no picture, we did end up buying the actual map. The map served us well on some of the wonderful hikes we were able to do in the area and within a 30 minute drive.

We had a lovely stay at Winster Fields. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped. A very peaceful location but within reach of all places of interest. Yes there are small lanes to manoeuvre to reach the cottage but we really had no problems. The weather was amazing. Thank you...we had a great time

Patricia

Couldnt fault the cottage it was idyllic, the views were stunning and the ... Couldnt fault the cottage it was idyllic, the views were stunning and the cottage was the perfect get away for our girls weekend break away from all the hassle

The property location is wonderful and the layout is also perfect for us. The downside is the cleanliness. This is the second time weve been and unfortunately the second time that we had to hoover the lounge area because it wasnt very clean and there were also a huge amount of cobwebson the ceilings in most rooms and a lot over the dragon statue on the stairs. We thought it was perhaps a one off the first time we went but unfortunately that doesnt seem to be the case. We decided not to report it because we didnt want someone coming out during our stay to clean.

Caroline

Lovely location and nice furnishing, beds comfy. Would stay again. Dishwasher doesnt work properly, lots of stuff still dirty every run. Blinds in attic room dont keep light outnot suitable for babies and small children.

A very stunning and relaxing property which is beautifully furnished. WiFi was excellent and I enjoyed the outside seating area. Despite being a bit isolated, this was a perfect location for us away from the crowds and traffic. Plus it's relatively easy to reach most places within the Lakes by car. I would definitely stay here again. The dryer of the washer dryer wasn't working, which we only discovered once we had a full load of wet washing. The maintenance team were very quick to respond but couldn't fix it and thereafter we heard no more. Luckily the weather was good so we were able to dry outside using a clotheshorse. A few plates and glasses in the cupboard weren't clean but the rest of the house was spotless. In the warm weather, fans would be a useful addition.

Thanks for a lovely stay, me and my parents really enjoyed the tranquility.

Darren

Great place with amazing views. Peaceful with nice walking trails. One problem was the late check in and early check out. If we stayed for one night then we wouldnt have had much time.

Darren

The cottage hadn't been hovered properly, and there was food left in the cupboards and freezer. We couldn't arrive until 5pm it was pitch black, no welcome pack just a few teabags, biscuits and some out of date milk! The WiFi didn't work for all of the 7 days holiday. Other than that we did enjoy our stay.

Deborah

We had a fab time and enjoyed every minute. The cottage was in a lovely spot with great views and was just what we were looking for. As a family of 4 and a couple I would probably feedback that there wasn't enough recyclingbin space. Luckily we were able to take a lot of rubbish home so it didn't affect us however spending Xmas with 2 children and 4 adults, you can imagine there was a lot to take home. Other than the above the cottage was great and we would highly recommend.

The holiday cottage was beautiful we couldnt have asked for anything nicer.

Beautiful holiday cottage in stunning location with magnificent views and ample parking. Cleanliness and attention to detail in the cottage was fantastic. We will definitely book again!! We had a wonderful stay.

Beautiful location and views, away from the crowded tourist areas. Kids loved it. The place was spotless and the kitchen very well equipped. Couldnt fault it. We would like to come back one day!

We had a super time in this well presented roomy cottage with stunning views and spacious grounds.

Blackout blinds in the loft bedroom would be nice, fantastic peaceful spot

Had a great time at Winster Fields although the downstairs floor was not cleaned at all for when we arrived and there were bits all over the floor in the kitchen and living room area so i had to hoover up and mop the floor on arrival and the next day. Not so great really. Upstairs was ok but we werent using upstairs! Although the bedrooms and bathrooms were ok. The bed was really comfortable and the views from the property were amazing. We loved the seating area outside and we were lucky we had some great weather to enjoy it fully. The boiler has had its day and smelt oily when we tried to put the heating on so we gave up as we were concerned we would lose the hot water as had happened to another guest i read in a review. We would love to return although we wouldnt unless the boiler was fixed or changed it is too old and on its way out for the size of property especially and the cleanliness issue is sorted. Apart from that it was great!

Perfect location, beautiful views, unclean property which is mentioned a lot in the visitor book

Had to get beyond fact that the boiler stopped working for over 24 hours, with no hot water or heating over that time. Provided with room heaters which was appreciated but still no hot water. Feedback in the visitors book commented on boiler problems months ago before Lockdown, and plumber shocked at condition of the boiler why then wasnt it replaced beforehand, especially as property empty for months, so ample opportunity. Does not sit well with me. All in context of a week paying way over the odds which we chose to do, but wouldnt have if known boiler couldnt even be sorted out. Not impressed.

If only you had responded to customers feedback from a year ago Id have been happy but to arrive at a property in the dark at 5pm to find the beds not made and no linen anywhere to make them myself is not acceptable. Add to that a disabled husband and a young son, along with a global pandemic that meant this was a rare and greatly prized opportunity, then youve got one very annoyed customer. The kitchen should have been spotless and I wasnt. The dishwasher was half full of dishes. 3 of the 4 TVs didnt work . . . . . This could be a beautiful let. I am still waiting for some recompense from you. I had to delay my evening with family to wait for linen matter to be resolved and then had to have two people come into the house to make the beds. Not very covid safe.

We absolutely loved staying at Winster Fields. The photos dont do the cottage any justice as to the size and layout. Everything was provided and could not have asked for any more. Be warned the road to get to the cottage is a single lane but dont let that put you off as the views are amazing and there is very little traffic by the cottage. Will definitely return.

Beautiful quiet location with easy access to the Lakes area. Very comfortable house in secluded setting. Very few cars around in immediate area which was helpful as roads very narrow and a few potholes around. We were fortunate in having wonderful weather.
