  • "When arrived at the property we were able to park outside."

    The opposite side of the road is permit only Mon-Fri 9am to 6pm. However can park for one hour in these times. This allowed us to unpack. The parking is in the next street and a very short walk. We managed to get early bird parking most days before 9am cost is £1.20 all day to 8pm. Then free overnight to 8am. On first impression the cottage was clean and welcome packs of refreshments was left along with cleaning pack. The cleaning team and maintenance do let the owner down. But this has been raised and the owner is dealing. A few issues were addressed whilst there. Cottage is very spacious and comfortable. The main tv was broken on arrival and the owners kindly delivered and installed a new one the next day. The open fire is beautiful and well used on our visit. Kitchen is fully fitted with all equipment you would need. Including washer dryer and dishwasher. The beds were comfortable and clean mattresses. All laundry looks to be laundered which is the norm for holiday lets. Towels - brilliant! I say this as most places have small bath towels. These were bath sheets! Owners are new and very responsive and are making changes as we speak. I would highly recommend Nutkin cottage. The area is lovely. About 1 mile walk to the lake down hill. Lots of lovely shops around the corner from cottage and plenty places to eat our favourite was san Pietro.

    Hi Judith Thank you very much for leaving us feedback. As you have stated that we are new to the business and therefore we appreciate your insight and support to us! Actions have been arranged and will make improvements very soon to the areas you have kindly pointed out. We are delighted that you and family have had a lovely time in Nutkin Cottage. We are looking forward to welcoming you again in the future. Warm regards Jingwen Property Owner

  • "The cottage was in a perfect location right in the centre of Windermere which has a lovely variety of places to eat, drink and shop."

    There are lovely walks on the doorstep and the bus service is brilliant. We didn’t use the car at all for 4 days as we could easily get to Ambleside and Grasmere on the bus. The cottage was warm given the weather during our stay was very wet. The kitchen was well equipped and clean but let down by the fridge door which was covered in smears possibly due to being a matt black door. The living area was ok but felt a little ‘tired’ as did the entrance hall. The first floor bedroom was clean, comfortable and pleasantly furnished. Little things let the accommodation down and these can be easily remedied. There was no toilet roll in the two first floor bathrooms. This created a bad first impression that was hard to shake off. When you first arrive the first thing most people do after a long journey is pop to the loo! We realised that this was not an oversight as we saw a previous review. The living room TV was not connected to the internet so extra channels and streaming were not available. It did make us laugh that there was an ice bucket and two glasses laid out on the bistro table. Probably best not to bother if there is no wine

    Hi Helen My name is Jingwen and I am the owner of Nutkin Cottage. I want to thank you for sharing the feedback. I only recently took over Nutkin Cottage and therefore appreciate any suggestion that could help improve the service. My apologies for the toilet roll arrangement. They should have been provided. And I will speak with the house keeping team to ensure this won’t happen again. In terms of the internet connection for living room TV. I will ask the maintenance team look into it. We noticed that sometimes the armchair next to it might block the signal. However, I am sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. If there is any other area with Nutkin Cottage that I could make improvement, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Thank you very much again for choosing Nutkin Cottage and sharing your feedback! Warm regards Jingwen Property Owner

  • "On arrival we were disappointed to find that the property was very dirty, the hallway entrance had not been vacuumed and in the lounge there were food crumbs and Jam on the floor."

    Cobwebs from the ceiling and around the fire places in the lounge and dinning area and vertical dusty. We had been left only one half used toilet roll, and the bedrooms had not been vacuumedand only 1 set of towels. This not not the welcome we expected

    Hi Barry Further to the emails from last week, I want to apologise again for the experience you had with us. Cleanness is a core element of our service provision and as owner of Nutkin Cottage I take it very seriously with regard the issues raised. In addition to the actions I’ve taken to inform the housekeeping team and other relevant teams to look into this incident, I am also in process of sourcing new vendors to ensure more strict standards and cleaning arrangements will be put in place to support positive guests experience. I really appreciate your feedback and I hope I could welcome you again in future to stay in Nutkin Cottage. Kind regards Jingwen Property Owner

  • "This cottage is in a great location close to various cafe, restaurants, pubs, convenience stores, and shops in Windermere town centre."

    Inside the house we found it cosy with a modern kitchen and all necessary appliances including washer/dryer that we can use to wash little one’s cloth. There are also three bathrooms and three smart TVs in living and bedrooms, which is very convenient for us (six people from multiple generations) to stay. We enjoyed our time in Nutkin cottage and explored lake districts around Windermere/Bowness/Ambleside with plenty of wonderful walks, scenery, water activities, parks & sites for children play. Will recommend to others and try to book another stay in Nutkin next year.

    Hi Kai Thank you very much for the positive feedback. We’d welcome you and family and friends to stay with us again! If you feel there is any improvement we could put in place, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Warm regards Jingwen Property Owner

The property

Nutkin Cottage is a traditional, terraced cottage resting in the heart of Windermere, Cumbria.

With amenities and attractions, a stone's throw away, this classic Lakeland cottage offers a family of six a lovely home-from-home with a private garden, high-quality amenities, and beautifully furnished living areas.

All rooms are finished to a high-quality standard, making this a wonderful retreat to the Lake District.

The living/dining room immediately welcomes you with a large, stylish dining table to host family dinners and celebrate special occasions.

Moving into the sitting area, two sumptuous armchairs and a sofa invite you to settle down by the warmth of the characterful open fire, whilst a film of your choice plays on the Smart TV.

Just next door is the kitchen, finished to a high standard with an electric oven, gas hob, washing machine and dishwasher; savour breakfast for two at the bistro seating, or perhaps dine outside in your private garden!

This multi-level space is a secluded spot to enjoy a glass of bubbly and hideaway in the cushioned alcove with a good book.

After a busy day exploring the Lakes, head to the first floor to freshen up in the pristine bathroom with a bath, shower over, and heated towel rail for added comfort.

This floor also hosts a twin room with lovely blue tones and a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, whilst two lucky guests have the second floor to themselves.

This king-size bedroom has views across Windermere, a Smart TV for those lazy mornings, and an en-suite shower room.

Start your mornings with a cup of coffee in the front patio with outdoor seating, while you plan the day's agenda!

Shops, pubs and restaurants are all close by, such as San Pietro Windermere for Italian cuisine, Tapios for Spanish tapas, and The Pig for British staples and beer, while you can stock up at the local convenience store.

You'll have so much to see and do in this bustling town, such as cruises, including private cruises and sail and dine options, watersports on Lake Windermere, finding familiar faces at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, and hiking up to Orrest Head Viewpoint for panoramic views.

An abundance of sights and hikes scatter the lake including the National Trust's Wray Castle, and Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's country farmhouse, and walks to the top of Claife Heights.

Spend the day in Ambleside to wander the Roman Fort, spend a rainy day at Ambleside Climbing Wall, and visit the picturesque Stock Ghyll Force.

Discover local heritage in Grasmere for guided tours of William Wordsworth's former home, idyllic walks around the River Rothay, and the National Trust's Allan Bank and Grasmere.

Thrill seekers will find unforgettable hikes up Scafell Pike, Fairfield Peak, and The Old Man of Coniston, to name a few!

Or if you are simply in the mood for a relaxed break with nature encompassing you, you can enjoy some peaceful strolls and birdwatching in the surrounding area.
