It’s comfortable and is well equipped. A great base for exploring the area. We have booked to come back next year
Thank you for your kind and positive comments. We very much appreciate them, it will be lovely to see you again soon.
The location of our cottage being in the centre of Bowness but also being tucked away makes it an ideal base for an enjoyable holiday.

"A gorgeous little cottage in such a peaceful spot."
Bowness is really busy with tourists but this cottage is at the end of a cul de sac so no passing traffic. The owner kindly saved us a parking space really close to the cottage and texted us to let us know, it was so helpful for unloading! Lovely facilities and the shops etc just a short distance away including a Tesco express, very handy!! Local bus service is fantastic so you could park up and go everywhere on buses for only£2 a journey!
Many thanks for your lovely comments, we really appreciate your positive feedback. We always aim to please and ensure you have an enjoyable, relaxing stay.

"Absolutely beautiful cottage, had everything we needed and the Christmas tree just totally set the scene."
It was lovely and warm and had everything we needed for a lovely stay. The only negative we could say was barking dogs. A dog constantly barked every morning and throughout the day in the bedroom adjoining the main bedroom in our cottage as my wife isnt well with pain she has to dose sometimes throughout the day if she hasn’t slept at night but this was impossible with the continuous noise. There was also a dog at number 1 which seemed to be out in the garden early morning and left to bark and late at night. We have a dog and she can bark a couple of times if someone knocks on the door but otherwise is kept in check and certainly wouldn’t be left to bark bark. Bark continuous!!!It was disappointing and annoying and did spoil the stay unfortunately, some people don’t seem to have respect for other people.
Hi guys thank you for your positive feedback and kind comments. We are happy that you enjoyed our cosy cottage in the centre of Bowness.
We are sorry the issue of barking dogs caused a tarnish to your stay.
Unfortunately this is out of our control.
Normally our guests enjoy the peace and tranquility which our cottage provides.
We cannot control who may be using nearby properties, sadly bad timing i suppose.
Look forward to seeing you again, hopefully with the usual peace and quiet.

The only down side was the parking although a permit is provided, its on a first come first served basis and can be a long walk to the cottage when unloading luggage, and as there's no where to turn the car round you have to reverse out onto the road.I would definitely stay here again despite the parking as its a lovely cottage.

"Main problem was lack of parking, on arrival we had loads to unload, arriving on a Saturday when Bowness is still so busy it was not surprising to find no parking slots."
This lead to upteem trips back & fro to off load & although the cottage well caters with lots of extras, milk would have been good, there was everything else to make a cuppa apart from milk.
Great touches like torches, hoover being available, cling film, foil etc, door mat inside kitchen would have been useful
Overall a lovely cottage, would not return due to parking problems (& although no fault of anyone) the low flying jets, which we experienced last year as well, they petrified our dog, which meant us walking with her off lead almost impossible).
Many thanks for your comments.
We appreciate that Permit parking is sometimes a little difficult,as you know a simple map is available in the cottage on the kitchen table.
This directs guests to parking which is always available around the corner.
Unloading on arrival( if no Permit parking is available) can be done at the entrance of the cottage and your vehicle can then be parked around the corner.
Please note most properties in the area have the predicament.
Your comment regarding supplying milk is a worthy comment and we will act on this.

Very private and cosy. The cottage and garden were secure and super clean. My dog could safely explore without worry if escaping. All the little extras we kept finding tea, coffee, torches, tissues, reed diffusers to name a few showed the care and thought put in to make guests feel welcome and at home. Only downside is it only sleeps 3 as I am planning a break with my friends later in the year but we won’t all fit!! Thank you for helping to make our visit to the lakes a lovely experience
