  • "Can’t fault Willow cottage, we had a wonderful few days here."

    It was perfect for us (3 adults, 2 kids and a dog) deceptively spacious and well appointed. The garden was a good size with a gate to access the huge field at the back where the kids played. Silent at night (other than the owl!) and you could see all the stars as there’s no light pollution. Walking distance to the shore, pub, coop and lovely cafe. Drove and hired a boat on Windermere as the weather was so nice. So peaceful and unspoilt with beautiful walks on the doorstep. We will be back!

    Thank you for your lovely review. We would love to have you back! Property Owner

  • "Willow Cottage is a delightful place to stay."

    Beautifully equipped, immaculately clean and so welcoming. A lot of thought and care has gone into making this a great holiday home. We are very grateful to Lesley for letting us know we could arrive a little earlier and leave a little later. We have already booked again for October

    Thank you so much for your lovely review. I really appreciate it! I’m glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

  • "Having just returned from a lovely holiday at Willow Cottage, I would like to highly recommend this period property set in the lower lakes at Silverdale."

    This is a spacious cottage that accommodates 8 and a pet, we all thoroughly enjoyed our time there and had lots of family pop in for a visit and a lovely meal cooked by our “in house chef” in the super kitchen. In summer this cottage would be lovely, it has a two tier patio and access to an open field which served our boys well for Rugby practice! We had several trips into the Lake District to visit our favourite haunts, not far by car, beautiful scenery and quiet roads just bliss. Our lovely host Lesley was available if needed.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! So happy you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

    Beautifully maintained and furnished in a fantastic location. It worked well for three generations of our family. Lesley could not have been more helpful. We are looking to book again as soon as the school holiday dates are announced.

  • "Property was in a great location, very clean & comfortable."

    We liked the outlook from the kitchen and the decking / patio area. For the owner - Opening some doors can be a problem due to round door knobs / shiny smooth material, particularly the lounge door. Barking dogs next door were annoying at times but appreciate there is little you can do to stop or reduce this.

  • "This cottage was the perfect location and size for our family of 8, consisting of adults and children, and our Christmas vacation of 10 days."

    The facilities within the cottage are well stocked and provided everything needed for comfort and catering. And proper large wine glasses and champagne flutes, this was a treat. Once we understood the heating controls we were cosy and had great 10 nights of sleep with very comfortable beds. Good hot showers in both bathrooms. It accommodates very well for dogs too, it is indeed dog-friendly. It's a well-loved house and we have already booked our 2025 return. The area is just lovely, there's a large sandy beach when the tide goes out at the estuary, which is less than 10 minutes walk from the cottage and a couple of pubs within minutes from the beach. This added to the delight of our strolls out and about. Cottage is perfect for location and accommodation, an all-rounder.

    Thank you very much for your lovely review. Good to see you’re booked in again next Christmas! Property Owner

  • "The property was perfect for a group of 7 (2 families, 3 children total)."

    The location was optimal with regard to proximity to Lancaster and the Lake District. The owner was on top of everything. Very cordial and ready to assist, she helped us take care of minor issues related to the heating, which made for a smooth (and warm) stay. Nothing beats a great place that has such a welcoming landlady.

    It had everything you could ever need. There was a lovely welcome pack when we arrived, including treats for our dog. The hosts had condidered everything. Instructions were there and a contact number, should we need any help. Stunning views from the back garden. Everyday we saw deer and other wildlife. A very peaceful area. The beds were very comfy and we slept well. We will definitely be rebooking.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Willow Cottage."

    It is on a quiet road and close to the village centre which has 2 pubs, lovely coffee shop, convenience store and a butchers. There are lovely walks straight from the door and easy access to South Lakes. We found the lounge, beds very comfortable and bathroom and shower great, there was plenty of hot water and heating. The kitchen is a bright and airy social space and leads to a lovely terrace and garden that backs onto a lovely meadow, our small dog was very safely enclosed and fascinated by the cows in the meadow! The sunsets from the terrace was fabulous! The property has undergone a very significant refurbishment and some decorative snags are being sorted out, this in no way deterred from the pleasure of staying at Willow and we will be booking again.

    Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re very happy that you’re coming back again and with lovely Tilly! Lesley Property Owner

  • "This should be a nice property once the building work has been completed and the snagging carried out."

    These issues have been reported. Although advertised for 8 people this seems ambitious given the need for more essentials, e.g. mugs and cooking equipment. There were only 2 loo rolls, no kitchen roll, and we only found the dish cloths on Day 6. The shower room is also very small, cramped and dark. For those with a dog the garden is not secure at the bottom and there were frequently cows in the field. There was no visitor information, e.g. emergency numbers, shops, eating places, or information about recycling - we did what we could with the latter.

    Sorry to hear there wasn’t enough kitchen equipment for you. There is currently at least eight of everything but I will add to this, if needed. As you know, there is a phone number in the cottage for guests to call. The property manager lives close by and would’ve been happy to drop anything off for you within minutes. The shower room has a Victorian window that cannot be made any bigger due to the thickness of the stone walls but it has bright spotlights and a backlit mirror. The top floor bathroom has a very large velux window. I am not sure why the enclosed garden was not secure as it has a fence and gates. A smaller dog could possibly get through a gap into the field so we will check and fix it. Thank you for pointing that out. Property Owner
