  • "We have just had a lovely three night break to Brook Cottage which we both enjoyed and would not hesitate to go back if we could get the same last minute break at a good price."

    There was plenty of space for us both and the dog but four adults may find space a bit tight. Fine for a family of four with two young children. There was a couple of small maintenance problems and no off road parking which it states there is in the prospectus for the cottage. Although a little welcome pack with essentials in would have been nice it was a clean cottage with everything you could need, tucked away from the main areas of Windermere, for a good break.

    Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased that you have a lovely stay at Brook Cottage. We have taken care of the maintenance issues that you mentioned - had we been aware of these during your stay we would have happily sent our maintenance team to address these during your stay. Regrettably Brook Cottage does only have roadside parking which is referred to in the description. We hope that this did not detract from your stay and hope that you will return again in the future.

    Highly recommend property 10/10. 10 minutes walk to Windermere town and about 15 Minute walk to the Lake, shops and restaurants. There is a pub just opposite with outdoor seating.

  • "Had a lovely stay here."

    Nestled between Windermere and Bowness, both towns were easily walkable but we did use the bus to get back from Bowness which was always well served. Plenty to do in the Lake District which is why we love it

  • "My daughter and I had a delightful week staying at Brook Cottage and would highly recommend it."

    The cottage was very well presented and comfortable and a very pretty garden which we appreciated at the end of a day. Luckily the weather was good and we were able to get out and about and appreciate the beautiful scenery. It was a week we will both look back with very happy memories.

  • "We had a wonderful holiday."

    All was as said in advertisement. Beautiful cottage and very well equipped. The bus stop was only a few yards away and we used our bus passes to go everywhere. I parked my car outside the cottage on the Friday and never got back until time to drive home. Will certainly be recommending it to others. Fantastic

  • "Beautiful cottage, with all you need to have a short break."

    Key safe was easy to find and checking in was no problem at all. We were greeted with a welcome box of tea, coffee and biscuits, and even a bottle of champagne with a message wishing my wife a happy 40th birthday. Communication with Ian and Joanne was very easy and friendly. We loved our stay there, but we wish it could’ve been longer than two nights. We will definitely check availability. Next time we are visiting the area.

    Thank you for your feedback we are delighted that you had a fantastic time and look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Kind Regards The Owner relations team at Lakelovers. Property Owner

The property

Brook Cottage is a lovingly restored cottage settled on the outskirts of Windermere village, Cumbria.

With Lake Windermere just a gentle stroll away, there are plenty of things to see and do close by, making this a charming holiday base for a small family or couple.

Enter into the sitting room and discover a traditional woodburning stove that rests within an eye-catching fireplace and offers a sense of character, complementing the stylish furnishings and sleek TV.

Move through to the country-style kitchen, certain to encourage some home-cooking with the abundance of impressive appliances such as the electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher.

Gather around the dining table and enjoy a family board game or mouth-watering feast as you toast to a wonderful Lake District break.

Head upstairs to two inviting bedrooms, including the master with a double bed and a twin room with a Victorian feature fireplace, both of which are served by a family bathroom with curved tub with rainfall shower above.

Embrace the fresh countryside air in the enclosed patio garden, ideal for relaxing in after a long day sightseeing or walking.

Just a stone’s throw away, the nearest pub offers a wonderful way to reward yourself as you indulge in a cold pint.

Get to know your surroundings with a walk into Windermere village where you will be spoilt for choice by the selection of shops and eateries to explore or dine in.

Take a relaxing stroll alongside Lake Windermere and admire its fabulous and far-reaching views, or why not get involved in some watersports, including kayaking and boat rides.

Open tour buses are available in the nearby towns of Ambleside and Grasmere, whilst lake cruises are a lovely way to explore the area.

Literary lovers will delight in a visit to the World of Beatrix Potter, which is great for those with children or head to the National Trust owned Hill Top, which was formerly the farmhouse that Beatrix Potter lived in.

Brook Cottage is well-placed for discovering the best of the Lake District.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
