Mrs Mcmillan October 2020

“Had an October few days break at the T'wit T'woo cottage with my husband and granddaughter.”

The location on the banks of Lake Windermere was perfect with great views, grassed play area and a walkway to a jetty on the Lake. The autumn landscape colours were outstanding. The cottage was exceptional in every detail, cleanliness, amenities and in fact exceeded our expectations. Furthermore, the Prosseco, chocolates and milk left for our arrival were a nice touch from owners who obviously care that your holiday will be the best it can be. It was just a great place to stay and use as a base for seeing the surrounding area. I cannot recommend the cottage highly enough and would hope to return in the not too distant future.

Mr Schofield October 2020

“Very nice compact cottage, well equipped (no ice tray - saved by Lakeland!”

) with generous 'add ons' provided on arrival by the owner. Excellent base to explore the whole of the Lake District. Lovely finish to the day by gentle walk down to the lake and jetty. Absolutely wonderful.

Mr Mason September 2020

“Very good location.”

Being in a park gives you a lot more privacy. Ideal for two people but would be somewhat cramped for three.

Miss Grimes August 2020

“This is a wonderful rental property, ideal for 2 adults and a young child.”

The owners have thought of everything: the kitchen is very well equipped, there are plenty of racks etc. for drying out clothes after walking in the rain and plenty of heaters, a good shower and comfy beds. It’s lovely to have access to the lake so nearby and the location is fantastic for exploring the Lake District by car, foot and boat. Our daughter also loved the outdoor space to the front of the property where she could safely play outside while we could see her clearly from inside. We will definitely look to book T’whit T’woo again when we return to the Lakes.

Mrs Bullock August 2020

“Absolutely fantastic place home from home everything you need hair dryer, washer, iron plenty of cleaning products, views of the country side with Windermere lake there’s a walk down to the lake and we were told to watch out for the stag and deers but we didn’t see them.”

Great private parking within walking distance of Windermere and Bow-ness. Owners pleasant and helpful nice touches leaving a bottle of Prosecco and chocolates, we wanted to book next year but it was fully booked for the date we wanted to go, definitely value for money....

“Lovely Week In The Lakes!”

Very conveniently located half way between Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere. Windermere is only a 15 minute walk away and Bowness-on-Windermere in about a 20 minute walk. Cottage has all the facilities that’s you could want for a week away from home with a well equipped Kitchen enabling me to cook meals easily. Private parking at this cottage is a real treat as you didn’t have to worry about where your car was at night. Owner had left a lovely bottle of Prosecco and some chocolate with hand wash and dettol spray in the cottage for us. This was a lovely touch and the hand wash and dettol spray was really handy when coming in from days out. I would definitely stay in this cottage again as it’s very good value for money and very conveniently located.

“Absolutely lovely ,everything you need is provided and more ,surrounding area ...”

Absolutely lovely ,everything you need is provided and more ,surrounding area and private Jetty was lovely , we used it for paddle boarding onto Lake Windermere absolute bonus

- Mr Veneziani, July 2020
Mr Mccafferty July 2020

“Lovely modern accommodation in a stunning location.”

Conveniently located on the outskirts of the town (less traffic!), but still walkable to Windermere and Bowness assuming that you're relatively mobile. Nice touches with Prosecco, biscuits etc. and was especially impressed with the timely communications from the owner - little touches that make a BIG difference. Would definitely rebook for a future trip without hesitation.

- Mr Mccafferty, July 2020
Miss Dodd July 2020

“Lovely stay in the Lakes for my birthday.”

Cottage was very conveniently located halfway between Windermere and Bowness-On-Windermere with your own private parking. Owner was very attentive contacting us before our 4th of July stay to see if we where still coming or wanted to change our booking for later on in the year. We decided to go ahead with our stay on the 4th of July and found the cottage clean thought with a lovely bottle of Prosecco and chocolates left from the owner. The owner had also left a brand new bottle of hand wash and dettol spray which came in very handy when coming back from days out. Kitchen was very well equipped and I had no trouble cooking meals at the cottage. I would stay at this cottage again when visiting the lakes as it’s very good value for money.

Mrs Griffiths February 2020

“Just returned from our holiday in this lovely cottage, T’wee T’Woo, everything was as stated, lovely and clean , homely.”

Lovely touch with the wine and chocolates, also milk sugar coffee etc, cosy warm WiFi , what else do you need. Roger was very pleasant and helpful telling us all about the wildlife around to see. Unfortunately, did not get chance to go down to the lovely little pier by the lake due to the weather and the aftermath of storm Dennis. Will do that next time when we re-visit.

- Mrs Griffiths, February 2020
Mrs Parry February 2020

“Great location and the cottage was just perfect.”

Just wish we could have stayed longer but hope to return in the near future.

Mrs Staniford January 2020

“Beautiful cottage in a stunning location.”

We woke up every morning to views not only of Lake Windermere but also snow capped mountains, what more could you want?!

Mr Middleton December 2019

“The cottage was in an ideal location, very quiet, the beds were extremely comfortable and all the equipment was of a very high quality.”

Mr Riley November 2019

“This was our first stay at T'whit T'woo but hopefully won't be our last.”

The cottage is in a beautiful location, very well equipped and cared for with quality fixtures and fittings. Everything has been thought of to make staying at T'whit T'woo a pleasure including a lovely bottle of Prosecco and essentials like milk etc on arrival. No parking issues as this cottage is set in beautiful private grounds with a short walk to it's own jetty to enjoy Lake Windermere and any wildlife you may see. Roger, one of the owners introduced himself and gave us lots of information about the area, wildlife and when best to see them even though there is a well set out book and tourist information booklets in the cottage. Much appreciated. Windermere is only a short walk away and access to the parts of the Lakes easy from here.

“Our holiday in Windemere”

We had a brilliant stay in the cottage at Windemere. The cottage was beautifully furnished, clean and well-appointed, and situated just a short walk from a jetty, from which we were able to launch our kayak, the owners very kindly allowed us to use their pump to inflate our kayak. One of the nice finishing touches to our cottage was the bottle of prosecco waiting for us on arrival! There was lots of wildlife close to the area, including voles, many varieties of birds and deer in the adjacent fields. We had a fab stay here, and would recommend this cottage for families and couples alike.
