“Beautiful cottage in a tranquil setting next to Lake Windermere”

The cottage was exactly as described and the location was perfect for both Ambleside and Windermere. There were some lovely walks out from the cottage and a bus stop at the end of the land which meant that it wasn't necessary to take our car out after we had arrived.

The cottage was well equipped and warm. Luckily we also had the benefit of the sunshine for our weekend stay, despite a bit of snow still falling on the hills.

“Really lovely cosy cottage. Exactly ...”

Really lovely cosy cottage. Exactly as described and directions to find the property spot on! The location is a perfect spot for peace and tranquillity but also just a short bus ride into either Windermere or Ambleside (the bus stop is at the end of the road and even on Easter Sunday the busses came around every 10 minutes). You could also walk ... there are definitely more direct routes to Ambleside than the detour we took over Wansfell Pike!

“This is a wonderful little cottage ...”

This is a wonderful little cottage set in beautiful scenery. It sits a short distance from the main road but is still very peaceful. It is very well equipped with a modern kitchen, small utility room, modern jacuzzi bathroom with shower downrtairs and an en-suite wet room upstairs. It was a delight seeing the horses in the surrounding fields and watching the many birds on the feeder outside the window and we even spotted 2 young deer on the hillside near the cottage early one morning! The cottage was a good base for exploring the lakes. Loved all the art work on the walls. Good TV and excellent wi-fi signal. We did have a few very small niggles:- The cottage is described as having "fabulous lake views" ... this is very deceiving as you cannot see the lake at all from the cottage! We found this disappointing. We also did not like the fact that 1 of the rooms upstairs was locked ... when we book a cottage we would generally expect to have access to the whole of it! We also didn't like the fact the there are small offices situated in a converted outbuilding immediately behind the cottage .. this should've been mentioned and shown in the description. They didn't detract from our stay at all but it would've been nice to know they were there and likely to be occupied beforehand. Also we didn't like it that we weren't allowed to invite friends back to the cottage. A note in the cottage book regarding what to do with household rubbish such as kitchen food waste, plastic bottles etc would be helpful as well. Overall its a lovely cottage and we had a nice holiday there.

“This cottage is in a perfect ...”

This cottage is in a perfect location, quite and secluded yet close to all amenities, and lake Windermere. The cottage was spotless, the kitchen well equipped for self catering. I loved the jacuzzi bath, ideal after a day's walking or cycling. We would highly recommend this cottage and we will definitely be back.
