We love coming back to esthwaite farm cottage, and have done so for many years, there’s a few small things I can suggest: a decent can opener, a non stick frying pan , a dog poo bin , a mop and bucket, maybe different pillows , ours were very hard , I had to buy 2 soft ones for our two week stay . The plus points are , great space for dogs, friendly staff, plenty of heat and hot water, carpets, free laundry and a fabulous location
