From the hallway, stairs lead up to the carpeted open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room with charming units, comfortable seating and a table seating six – here you can relax, play board games together and tuck into a home-cooked meal. The lovely family bathroom is also on this floor. On the top floor, you’ll find a further twin bedroom and a storage cupboard housing the freezer, ironing board/iron and vacuum.

Enclosed by pretty hedges and with well-established plants and trees and a grassed area for games, the garden is a treat for families. Furniture for dining can be found on the patio, so you’re all set up for al fresco meals together.

The cottage is in a wonderful location. It's very comfortable and well equipped and great bonus is to have dedicated, off-road parking. The kitchen units have been refreshed, with limited success, but at least tried ! Welcome pack was very poor. This was our fourth time here, and we'll be back !

Had a lovely time in this cottage. Handy for the bus just a few yards away. A convenience shop also very near. Lovely walks. Hair dryers are in the cottage although when asked they were not sure. Local pub near cottage too. Nice cottage.

Very comfortable, but there is a noise from the boiler room whenever someone opens a tap or flushes a toilet. Not an issue during the day but noticable at night when in the twin bedded room.

I wouldn't recommend this cottage for families as it is very noisy, not very clean and you can hear whoever stays next door on holiday too (unless you book them both out). Location is great - chapel stile a lovely quite part of the lakes.

A spacious and comfortable property with a well-equipped kitchen. The location was ideal for us, very close to the village shop and a few minutes walk to the local pub. Would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for holiday accommodation in this area.

We have had a lovely stay at Oakdene Cottage. We had six adults in the house which was fine. Its good that each bedroom has an en-suite or bathroom. Parking is a huge plus here. Lots of equipment including cutlery, crockery and pans. The dishwasher broke whilst we were there. It was replaced in less than 24 hours. The Original Cottages team were grRead moreeat. Would definitely recommend Oakdene Cottage. Hide

We really enjoyed the location of this property, and overall it was pleasant. There were a few minor niggles which have led to the 3 scores shown. Firstly there was a recurrent bad smell in the main bedroom ensuite. I believe the water U-bend under the shower trap is faulty and is letting foul air in from the sewer. The shower tray also leaks each Read moretime when used. The kitchen units are starting to look shabby with vinyl peeling off several of the doors. The kitchen equipment was also not as good as in other houses weve stayed in. There was no tray for carrying cups of tea, no small sharp kitchen knife, and no pizza cutting wheel, no kitchen scales, no good sized measuring jug, cafetire for only one person. These small additions would help better equip the kitchen. Hide

The cottage was perfect, stones throw away for our lab who loved jumping in the lake.
