West View

Excellent cottage refurbished to a high standard in a really easy to access location with parking and everything you could need for a comfortable stay.

Really friendly host.

A lovely property that included everything you could want.

Very clean and very well furnished, and decorated in a wonderful style. The property is in a great location for touring round the lakes and Cumbria as you wish. It makes a perfect base to start and finish your day. Great takeaways in the area for those not wanting to cook. And local shops from which you can buy all your ingredients if you do. Really enjoyed the stay. The owners were very kind, thoughtful and considerate. Perfect. Could not ask for more.

This cottage is a perfect stay for your holiday.

It has everything you need within a homely enviroment. Spotlessly clean and so comfortable. Absolutely perfect.

Excellent cottage in a great location.

Great facilities. Everything you could ask for. Lovely garden and very dog friendly. Great communication with owner.

Beautiful property in beautiful location.

Owner very helpful if needed. Relaxing spot with gorgeous walks on doorstep and great gateway for places to visit.

This was a little gem, beautifully decorated very clean and comfortable.

Good location for visiting south lakes and lots of attractions close by. Would highly recommend this cottage 5*

Could not be faulted, beautiful cottage, owners should be proud

Lovely cottage - good quality furnishings and tastefully decorated throughout.

Everything was well thought out so that the stay was like a home from home. We did not need for anything. Thoughtful little extras such as wine and biscuits on arrival even some extra treats for the dog. The cottage is well situated for exploring both the lakes and the coast. Milnthorpe is within 5 mins driving distance with every takeaway you could wish for if you dont fancy going out on the evening or cooking. This was another great find. Will definitely return next time we want to visit the Lakes.

Exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated and well looked after cottage, everything we could want was provided.

Little well thought out touches seemed to be in every room including a welcome basket which was much appreciated. we were made to feel very welcome for our short stay by Janet the owner and would not hesitate to recommend

We had a lovely stay at West View.

There are some really thoughtful touches in the cottage to make your stay as comfortable as possible, including spare bedding and extra blankets. The cottage was immacutely clean, and the host, Janet, was attentive without being intrusive, which we really appreciated. The area is nice and peaceful, with a regular bus service just outside if you don't fancy walking or driving anywhere. This is definitely somewhere we would come back!

West View is a lovely, clean and well looked after cottage that had everything required to make our short stay in this area enjoyable.

Definitely a 5 star property that is at the top of our list to visit again.

West View is a beautiful cottage and a perfect base to explore the Lake District.

We were made to feel very welcome, including our dog. The cottage itself is cosy and comfortable, beautifully decorated, has a lovely enclosed garden and parking. I would definitely recommend staying here

West View is a superb cosy cottage that has all the amenities you could need.

It was beautifully decorated and extremely clean. The owner made sure we, and our dog, felt welcome. It is well located for exploring the Lakes and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

We had a super stay at West View.

It’s the cutest little cottage with everything you need for a home from Home stay in a beautiful location. The decor and furnishings are tasteful and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and is both attractive and practical and had everything you need. The garden was Particularly pretty full of Spring flowers and plants. This would be heavenly in the summer months or a nice day during other seasons. We drive but you could literally be dropped off and enjoy a week here as there is a bus stop directly across the road for Kendal and Lancaster. The Smart TV had all the streaming services available which was great. The master bedroom had a TV so perfect if you want a lazy morning or early night with a film. The log stove in the sitting room was a great addition and kept us cosy and warm each evening. I left a pair of muddy trousers in the washing machine in error (I slipped on mud on one of the many wonderful walks right from the front door) and the host contacted me to let me know and she’s going to wash them and return them to me - how amazing is that! All in all I would thoroughly recommend this beautiful Cottage.

Fully enjoyed our stay in West view cottage Leasgill.

This accommodation is 5 star. Extremely clean and looked after. First class and will book again. As a family we have loved this area for many years and enjoy the walks nearby what ever the weather.

The cottage was immaculate, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.

It is perfectly situated for visiting all the local gems and stunning attractions, which are just a stone’s throw away. The hosts provided excellent recommendations—a special mention must go to Levens Kitchen, which was spot on and absolutely sensational. We couldn't have asked for a better base for our holiday and would love to return. A brilliant stay in every way—highly recommended!

West view is a wonderful cottage in a perfect location.

Its has everything you need to feel at home as soon as you come through the door. A high specification kitchen and comfortable lounge. The beds are comfy and we slept well during our stay. The host (Janet) communicated with us before our stay and checked with us after arrival. I'd highly recommend West View for a great base to explore the local area and the lake district. There is plenty to do and the area is breathtakingly beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful break.

West View was as cosy and clean as it looks in the photos.

We felt at home from the moment we arrived and it was a great base for our trip to the Lakes. Would recommend to anyone.

We enjoyed a delightful Christmas at West View.

The cottage was beautifully decorated and every detail had been thought of to ensure our stay was comfortable. Excellent communication with owner. We will definitely return.

We absolutely loved our recent stay at West View cottage.

From the minute we walked in it felt warm and welcoming. A nicely styled home so you can relax straight away. The owner had thought of everything we needed including extras for our little spaniel who joined us on this trip. We enjoyed the welcome gift for us too which is such a rarity these days when booking a cottage. A great location for trips to Windermere, Rydal Cave and fantastic fish and chips from the chippy in Arnside. A great host who checks in with you too, making sure everything is all ok. We hope to return when we visit the lakes again.

A lovely cottage!

It's very well planned with good living space and a nice bathroom. Beautifully fitted out with a good kitchen. Spotlessly clean with very nice quality towels and bedding. Really friendly host!

West View is a lovely and cosy cottage.

The owner has thought of everything and made it extremely welcoming. Lots to do in the surrounding area, with beautiful scenery from the doorstep.

A real gem of a holiday cottage.

Clean, comfortable and cosy. Everything has been thought of by the local owner, Janet, who is attentive without being at all intrusive. Its important to us to stay somewhere that is locally owned, so this was a big deciding factor in booking West View. The weather was not good for our week, but we still enjoyed an extremely relaxed holiday, and made very good use of local days out at Levens and Sizergh. Thank you Janet.

Beautiful cottage in a quiet location, a perfect base for all the places we wanted to visit.

The welcome pack was lovely and the leaflets with local info and places to visit were really useful. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend.

Loved it had an amazing week Perfect in every way

A fabulous and well-equipped little cottage.

Both the house and garden were well-maintained affording picturesque views in a quiet location. The cottage was immaculately clean with all the home comforts needed to make for a relaxing stay. The welcome hamper and local information left by the owner were also a lovely addition. There is a lot to do not far from the cottage with plentiful historic houses, beaches and lakes to visit keeping all ages and those with dogs busy. I would thoroughly recommend West View!

We absolutely loved our stay and the house was just perfect for us and the dogs, would definitely recommend this property to others.

Comfortable, clean and the perfect location.

Really lovely presented cottage .

... it's was home from home. Situated in a lovely village very close to Levens (within walking distance).. Beautiful local walks we went up to Heversham edge and the views aew amazing. The cottage had everything you could want and more with the most beautiful garden perfect for sunbathing.

Janet had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable.

The cottage was clean and well equipped, the garden was beautiful and a lovely suntrap in the afternoons. Lots of thoughtful goodies in the cottage to enhance our stay. Great places to explore within a short drive - we enjoyed every moment of our stay.

We had a lovely stay at West View Cottage.

It was relaxing, comfortable, and very accommodating. Janet was wonderful—so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed to settle in. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful getaway!

Perfect!

Immaculately clean and very well presented holiday cottage and garden. 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

My Mum and I had a lovely stay at West View.

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!

Our second visit to this lovely cosy cottage in Leasgill.

Ideally situated for easy access to Kendal and the Lake District, right on the doorstep..Thank-you Janet...

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.

We had a wonderful stay at West View, the cottage is perfect.

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.

We had a wonderful and incredibly comfortable stay at West View.

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.

An excellent, comfortable and very well appointed cottage.

With everything we required for our last minute stay back on home turf. We really cannot fault it. Very good communication with the owner who made us feel very welcome, we will return

A beautiful little cottage wonderfully presented, spotlessly clean and decorated.

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...

Beautiful little cottage in a great spot for visiting the area.

Good size for 2 adults and 2 children and a small dog. Lovely lounge, dining room , bathroom and bedrooms. Would definitely book again. The owner was quick to respond to questions and resolved issues fast if needed. A great little find for futures bookings.

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

West View is perfect for visiting the South Lakes and an easy road trip to the North Lakes.

Lovely local walks with the dog, especially up the hill to Heversham Head. A beautiful cottage which had everything we needed. We had a wonderful week and would definitely recommend a stay here.

We loved our stay at West View, those extra little touches, The owner was accessible should we need her, the weather wasn’t the best for us so having the log burner to get cosy was wonderful we had a lovely chilled stay and would love to go back.

Oooo, West View is a magical place.

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.

The cottage was immaculate with a very high end finish.

The fixtures and fittings were brilliant and it was extremely comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and pans (unlike other stays we have had elsewhere) and the facilities were excellent. The location was perfect with the lake District on your doorstep. I would definitely recommend staying here and we will look to book again in the future.

A lovely property in an excellent location.

Clean, modern and well equipped with everything that we needed. Would highly recommend.

We had a fab few days at west view , the cottage is lovely and very clean.

We would recommend any small family to come and stay .It’s a great base to explore the lakes !

Lovely cottage everything you need nice quiet area.

A Beautiful cottage in a pretty location.

West view has been lovingly restored to a very high standard. A welcome pack waiting for both us and our two little dogs. All the rooms are tastefully decorated with lots of welcoming touches, and the enclosed garden is perfect for a glass of wine amongst the flowers. The cottage is close to an excellent pub in levens for very good food, and a supermarket in the next village should you wish to cook in the beautiful kitchen. I would highly recommend.

Great place clean tidy Really like a home from home Good location for traveling around Local shops and pubs are a drive which is a shame Beautiful garden only draw back is it’s bit of a climb which might not suit some but when your up there brilliant Would definitely go back

We had a lovely weekend stay at West View.

The property is beautifully furnished and decorated, was really cosy and comfortable and the welcome packs for both humans and dogs were much appreciated. We were lucky enough to have gorgeous weather so that we could enjoy the beautiful gated garden in the sunshine. Janet had thought of everything to make our stay perfect and relaxing and even just after a weekend, it felt like we had been away from home for longer and went home refreshed. We would definitely recommend West View

We had an amazing mini break in this beautiful cottage set in such a lovely location.

Plenty of walks nearby including Heversham head which we enjoyed, and not too far travelling from local villages with shops and places to eat. Everything was as described and more, and could not recommend enough. We would definitely love to visit and stay here again!x

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The cottage is really lovely, very well furnished and everything has been thought of to make for a really relaxing stay. The location is perfect for exploring the lakes and the village itself is really picturesque. The garden at the back is a real sun trap and we enjoyed several Gin and Tonics sitting in the sun. We took our cockerpoo Henry and there were lots of extra touches for him too - dog blankets, dog treats etc.. Thankyou for a lovely stay - we hope to be back xx

Great property, like a home from home.

Really enjoyed our stay Host was welcoming and available if needed Thank you!!!

The cottage was absolutely beautiful.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place. It was very clean, comfortable and welcoming. The little touches to the cottage too was noticed. We were very grateful for the dog treats left, the water for the dogs, provided poo bags, leads. We really felt at home. It really was the best place I’ve ever stayed in. I really can’t wait to book this place again.

Welcoming with everything we needed and the dogs!

So clean and comfortable! Lovely Easter touches and Prosecco! Janet makes sure everything is perfect! Thank you!

A lovely cottage, perfect location, excellent facilities, I would recommend a stay without hesitation.

West View Cottage was everything we wanted & more.

The cottage is delightful & Janet the host had thought of every possible need for us & our dog to enjoy our stay . The cottage was very clean & cosy & set in a great location to get to all the places we wanted to visit. Janet was very attentive & easily contactable when needed. There are lots of good walks from the cottage & I would highly recommend West View to anyone especially pet owners.

Great place to stay, really lovely cottage and great host, Janet.

Really good spot to stay for the week to go on further and explore the Lake District. Would highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful stay at Janet’s lovely cottage last week.

The cottage is well equipped, clean and comfortable with everything you need and is super dog friendly, even remembering the smallest of touches which is most appreciated. Janet was very quick to respond to messages and we were made to feel incredibly welcome. We look forward to staying again in the future…..wish we could have stayed another week especially for the snow. Amy, Laura, Harley and Finn

A brilliant little cottage to stay for the week.

A great base for exploring the Lake District and so dog friendly. Astrid loved the treats she was left and the many many new dog walks. Janet is the best host and I can’t fault her, helpful before during and after the holiday looking forward to staying at West View again!

Beautiful appointed cottage.

Good location lots of lovely little touches would recommend

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.

West View was an absolutely perfect cottage in a lovely village close to many places to visit.

Very clean and comfortable - everything you could want from a holiday cottage. All communications with hosts were very prompt and extremely friendly. Certainly would recommend West View and would like to return in the future.

We had a wonderful stay here, the quality of the cottage is one of the best we've ever stayed in, couldn't fault it.

The cottage is perfectly located for trips to the lakes and is equipped with everything you might need for your stay. Janet is a wonderful, thoughtful host who has thought of everything. We massively appreciated all of the little touches throughout the house - it would not be the same without her care and hard work. We will stay here again if we come back up. Thank you!

This has to be our favourite cottage that we have stayed in on our many holidays with our 2 dogs.

It was beautifully presented and had everything you could wish for to make for a comfortable and lovely stay. Janet was on call to give advice and had left so many delicious treats for us and our girls. The village was welcoming and lots of interesting people met on our daily doggy walks and so many lovely villages to enjoy within easy reach. We would have no hesitation in booking West View, whenever we are back in Cumbria. Sad to leave bur lots of memories to treasure. Thank you!

West View is ideally placed for visiting the Lake District and the coast.

The property was clean and comfortable and had recently been modernised. Everything we needed was provided but a clothes airer would have been useful. All in all we had a great holiday staying at West View.

Beautiful cottage, very well appointed with everything you will need for your stay.

Lovely welcome pack with some treats for our cocker spaniel. The garden is lovely. This is not your usual rental property, the quality is high and Janet the owner is an excellent host. Really was a home from home. Will definitely return if in the area.

We had a great stay at West View.

The property was absolutely beautiful. It was all decorated to a really high standard. The garden was a real sun trap to relax in after returning from a day out. We had great communication with the owner before we arrived and was available if any problems occurred during our stay. It was in a great location to explore the South Lakes, which was a new area for us and would definitely go back.

West View provided us with an excellent base to explore the Lake District.

The cottage is beautifully renovated and has everything we needed. The terraced garden to the rear is a lovely space to enjoy. Convenient, off-street parking is also a plus. Our dog settled in immediately - always a good sign! We can recommend West View with out hesitation. Simon

Lovely cottage with everything you need provided, location great for sightseeing without having to go far.

loved the duck

What a wonderful stay it has been at West View!

The cottage is incredibly comfortable and beautifully appointed; it is a testament to Janet & Adrian. The welcome pack was lovely and Sox, our Greyhound, loved the extras that were left for him. A fantastic base for exploring this beautiful area. Thank you so much and we can't wait for a return visit.

If I had one word to describe this property it would be WOW!

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!

We really enjoyed our stay at West View.

On our arrival it was so welcoming and all our doggy needs were catered for. The welcome pack was lovely. We were able to sit in the garden and enjoy the View. The only downside were the steps up to the garden but we were made aware of the steep steps and were prepared. The cottage is in a lovely friendly village and we found a great walk behind the church.

Can't recommend west view highly enough, its moden and spotlessly clean,and has every thing you will need for a relaxing holiday, the kitchen is very well equipped with dishwasher, coffee machine and all the gadgets, the downstairs toilet has a lovely shower, upstair you have two beautiful bedrooms and to sit outside in the garden is lovely, having had the pleasure to meet janet and Adrian will certainly be back colin,val

Lovely cottage and garden.

Everything we could want.

Beautifully presented, spotlessly clean little cottage.

I had a lovely stay here, would definitely come back.

Loved this cottage it was so clean and the finish was great I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of visiting the area the personal touches were great the water in the bowls for my little dogs and the treats everywhere was lovely will definitely return next time we visit the lakes Thank you

I can not recommend West View highly enough.

It is a lovely cottage in a quite village but close to Windermere, Kenilworth, G.O. Sands etc. The cottage had every thing you needed for a stress free relaxing stay, from comfortable beds to a log burner for those cosy nights in.The garden was a sun trap and safe for our dogs too. Our pets were made just as welcome as ourselves. The owners were a very friendly and welcoming couple who you could call on if needed .A truly top class cottage. We will be booking again.

The house was incredible!

So cozy and well equipped with lots of blankets. The heating was nice and easy to use as well as the other appliances which made life easy. The bedrooms were extremely comfortable with lots of wardrobe space in the main room. The garden was lovely on a hot morning, the view was great! There was a bus stop right outside the cottage that goes into kendal town centre, which made a very nice day out. There is also so many walking and hiking spots to chose from around, Heversham head was the best it had incredible views just beware of the cows! Overall an amazing stay, just what we needed for a long lazy weekend.

We've just spent a fabulous long weekend at West View!

The cottage is idyllic, beautifully decorated and super cosy. Everything about the cottage is beautiful and the village is lovely and peaceful, with friendly residents. The owners of the cottage are really friendly and communicative, and they even provided some goodies for puppies and us humans! I cannot recommend West View highly enough; if I could have given it 10 stars I would have!

Fabulous house, great location and lovely host.

We usually stay in a local hotel but loved the house and will definitely be back

I have stayed in a lot of cottages,but this has to be the best we have stayed in, it had everything, and the comfort was at the top of the league, if we ever go to the lakes again, we would want to stay there again

A lovely well equipped cottage with everything you need for comfortable stay.

We loved the open kitchen and the cosy log burner. Very comfy beds. Surrounding areas were picturesque. Only wish we had booked a longer stay! Would definitely come back :)
