  Everything has been thought of and very tastefully decorated. So many added thoughful touches makes West View a cut above the rest! Bus stop just across the road for easy transport to Ambleside, Windermere etc. Would certainly recommend

• "We had a wonderful stay at West View Cottage."

  After a long drive the cottage was a very welcoming, homely and comfortable so we settled in straight away. The bed was also very cosy and we slept very well. The raised garden was is a sun trap in the afternoon which we enjoyed on our first evening with a glass of bubbly. We went on many beautiful walks with our dog Freddie, and the lakes and scenery was just breathtaking. We were also blessed with beautiful weather so didn’t want to go home at the end of our stay. Thanks Janet xx

  The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Loved the welcome hamper and added extras for our doggies!! Beautiful walk out the back with spectacular views and easy access to explore other areas of the Lakes. Janet was fabulous and quick to respond with any queries. We will definitely come back to stay in this cosy cottage, thanks so much!

• "Excellent cosy comfortable cottage 5 star review ."

  This was our second stay at this cottage & felt like home from home! We travel from our home in France to visit our families in the area & we quickly settled in for a great week, even the weather was beautiful for us, a week in the Lakes & no rain! The cottage is superbly equipped with everything & more what is needed, our large dog loves the many walks in the area. The garden is worth the steps up to it & is charming to sit in with a glass of something in the early evening sun.

  Thank you Heather. See you next March! Property Owner

  The host really has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and cosy. The additional thought for our dogs was a lovely touch too, dog beds, bowls and towel. The location is brilliant for coast and lakes. We will definitely return. I can’t recommend enough, book it if it’s available for your dates! Thank you for a perfect holiday.

  It was spotlessly clean, the cottage was tastefully decorated, and I must say had very comfortable beds and pillows, along with all the amenities one could need for a vacation home.

  Within 30 minutes of all the Lakes attractions...would maybe like to see some gates on the driveway...so the dogs could maybe go out at night without having to climb up to the back garden....but this really isn't a negative....wonderful...

• "The property was just lovely."

  Very homely feel and very clean and tidy when we arrived. The cottage was very well equipped with utensils and things like toiletries should you need them and cleaning products too. The cottage is very dog friendly with dog beds made available and treats. There was a lovely welcome pack of wine and biscuits and pods for the coffee maker. The jar of sherbet lemons was a lovely touch. The cottage is nice and close to the southern Lake District so Kendal, Windermere, Bowness, Kirkby Lonsdale and Coniston are all in easy reach so a great base to visit. For us it was an 8 hour journey so visiting again might need a rethink on an overnight stay somewhere en route but we would definitely book West View again and would recommend to anyone

  In fact, it's luxurious. The garden is lovely and parking is perfect, right outside the door. Janet has truly created a haven. Billy, the dog, was made really welcome, with treats, bowls and spare lead; he really chilled out. We had a spectacular time, in a beautiful location; close enough to smell the sea and to walk a mountain. Thank you, Janet.

  West view has been lovingly restored to a very high standard. A welcome pack waiting for both us and our two little dogs.

• "I definitely recommend West View."

  Recently refurbished to a high standard, the cottage is very clean and comfortable and well maintained. The host provides an excellent welcome pack and is approachable and easily contacted if needed. Our stay was for 2 weeks for 2 adults (and a dog), with one of us working remotely whilst the other attended a course; the cottage was perfect for our requirements. The garden is very well thought-out, being safe and secure for dogs - we enjoyed evenings watching the sunset from the terrace. The cottage is well placed for dog walks and exploring this area of the Lakes - Ambleside was an easy drive away. I'd recommend the local village shop (a short car drive away), as well as Booths (further away), and Arnside chippy! We hope to return to the area and to West View.

  The cottage was immaculate, hats off to the family that own the property as they have kept it traditional but with modern features. The cottage was perfect and had everything you could possibly need. I really liked the guest book and reading other visitors messages and they loved West View as much as we did! We don’t have a pet but the property is dog friendly and had all the things you need to accommodate a furry friend. The garden is gorgeous we didn’t get the chance to enjoy it as we had some rain , but this gives an excuse to comeback. The location of the property is great, all the main spots to visit in the Lakes is less than a 30 min drive. If you didn’t fancy driving out there are lots of places/walking trails right on the door step. The owners have provided a booklet with leaflets you need to operate the equipment in the property but I especially liked the property history and background of the family that own the cottage which I thought was a lovely touch. The owners have also provided a rack of leaflets of food outlets, local activities, walks and areas of interest which was great and we made use of. The owner Janet before we arrived contacted myself directly via SMS, which I thought was really helpful as then I had a number I could contact if I need to during our stay. I couldn’t recommend this property enough ! It was just perfect and we look forward to coming back!
