Lovely cottage - a real home from home.

Lots of thoughtful touches and calm, laid back decor. Location was fantastic too, right in the heart of Windermere village.

We had a brilliant stay at Postmasters House, made all the better by the glorious weather that we had.

The property oused character, was decorated very tastefully, and was everything we wanted from a holiday cottage. The bed was really comfy, although the pillows were on the flat side. We loved the seating area out the front, the sun shone down on it in the mornings. We enjoyed watering the pots there too. Would certainly stay again.
