“The cottage is lovely and very well equipped.”

My only comment is that it didn’t have a tumble dryer which with 3 young children would have been of benefit.

My only comment is that it didn’t have a tumble dryer which with 3 young children would have been of benefit. The cottage is in walking distance to all amenities. We had a lovely week and would definitely stay at this property again, for location, amenities and the property.

- Mrs Pearman, August 2019
“Fabulous home to spend time at the lakes in.”

very homely with all home comforts. excellent location for train, busses and boats to get you around windermere.

- Mr Robinson, August 2019
“This is a great house which is very, very comfortable and has really great facilities.”

I love cooking in other people’s kitchens and this one had everything you could need, including sharp knives!! The neighbours are extremely friendly and helpful and we got some good tips from them. Please just remember to keep your dog in the yard, not running free in the lane at the back. This has been the best holiday home we have stayed in and we would come back to stay here again.

- Mrs Andrews, August 2019
“Loverly property, plenty of space and well equipped with all the essentials you would need.”

Great location to walk into Bowness or Windermere for refreshments or a spot of retail therapy. Booking was easy online, the staff in local Windermere office were really helpful when we popped in to inform the DVD player was broken.

- Mrs Challinor, July 2019
“Perfect location, close to all amenities but far away to be peaceful”

- Mr Curtis, June 2019
“The house was very comfortable and had everything we wanted.”

It was lovely. However the property is advertised as pet friendly but we found this to be a slight problem as there is a small enclosed concrete walkway leading to a paved area which is open to other gardens. Unfortunately there is no grass for the dogs to toilet on. Unfortunately our dog is only used to toileting on grass so a bit of fake grass placed somewhere would have really helped! However i would definitely return to this property but without the dog!

- Mrs Biggin, May 2019
“Everything needed for a smooth and relaxing holiday was provided.”

The location was good and quiet

- Mrs Axon, May 2019
“We had really enjoyable stay (if anything it wasn't long enough!”

) - the house and setting was stunning - thank you! We had a slight issue with toilet blockage/flush and bath taking a long time to empty/drain which may require attention? Otherwise perfect!

- Mr Krystek, May 2019
“This was a superb cottage and was beautifully looked after.”

Everything was perfect for a family break and a special thank you for the Easter card and eggs left as a gift by the owners. The weather was perfect which ensured we had a wonderful time. Thank you.

- Mr Waugh, April 2019

The property is of a high standard, very well equipped, excellent quality of kitchenware which really made it feel home from home.

- Mrs Bailey, December 2018
“An ideal family home in the excellent town of Bowness-on-Windermere, location is great a 10 minute walk downhill in to town for shops restaurants and bars ( steephill tho !”

) the house itself was very clean, ample sized rooms comfortable beds and adequate kitchen. Loved it and we would return here if if coming back to Bowness-on-Windermere

- Mr Carroll, October 2018
“A well presented house in a good location.”

However, the bathroom was tiny and not particularly well laid out. This was OK for just two of us but would not really be adequate if five people were staying in the house.

- Mrs Sykes, October 2018
“Extremely well equipped cottage, bit of a hill to get up when coming back from town but cottage itself is a1”
