Great location - easy access to the roads, 1 min walk into Windermere. Clean, well equipped kitchen, two lovely bathrooms, all bedrooms of good size. The only downside was the size of the outside area.

“A very pleasant cottage in the ...”

A very pleasant cottage in the heart of Windermere. Close to everything you need for a happy holiday. The owner was very helpful and even posted an item back to us that we left behind. It was very nice of her to leave us a welcome & birthday gift. We would certainly recommend this cottage and will return.

“We have had a really lovely New ...”

We have had a really lovely New Year stay at No 16. It's location is perfect for access to shops, bars and restaurant. The house was easy to find, we managed to park both cars outside, then never used them again! Kitchen is very well equipped (brought our own champagne glasses) and we sat around in there on New Years Eve, eating, drinking and playing board games. Lots of hot water for baths etc and towels and toiletries provided. Excellent having 2 bathrooms for getting ready. Very comfy beds and plenty of storage, extra fridge freezer in basement. Mrs Davis very helpful with recommendations and advice beforehand and during our stay when we needed to contact her. We would love to come back !! Thank you !!

“An excellent cottage in a superb ...”

An excellent cottage in a superb location, just off Windermere's main streets. Very comfortable accommodation with space for one vehicle outside and a permit for a second. The party of six very much appreciated the standard of accommodation and the information pack provided.

“The house was fabulous, the ...”

The house was fabulous, the location was perfect and we felt it was home from home. The beds were so comfortable and we loved the lounge. Just a couple of things we felt could of made this house perfect, the fridge didn't have a shelf in the door so nothing could stand up, like milk, wine etc. We had to use the basement fridge and going up and down those wooden stairs was a pain. Also there was no kitchen or toilet cleaner and no soap which we thought should be there for our convenience, so we had to go out and buy it all. There is only a little courtyard which did get the sun in the morning but we have two girls that love to be outside playing so we did miss a garden. Being so close to all the amenities helped so much and if it was sunny we just went out. These are just small things and overall we loved this house and would definitely come back and would highly recommend it. Thank you to the owner who was very lovely and helpful and left a lovely welcoming food package too.

- Mrs Gooden, August 2016
“Cottage overall was very well ...”

Cottage overall was very well appointed with good facilities. A couple of small gripes in that the WiFi was pretty non-existent and worked for perhaps 5% of the time. I realise this is not necessarily the owners fault but booking a cottage that advertises this; it was something we expected to have some use of. Parking was also very difficult and I think it should be clear that the parking in front of the property is only really suitable for a small to medium car. My car was stuck out into the road. The extra parking permit is useful but was not what I expected to have to use. Several times throughout the week neighbours parked on double yellow lines opposite and therefore blocked us in. We had to try and find out who owned the different vehicles so we could get out of the drive. It's something we could have done without although again this is not the owners fault but it was frustrating. Property location is good though and right in the heart of Windermere.

- Mr Dennison, August 2016
“Number 16 is a lovely cottage in a ...”

Number 16 is a lovely cottage in a nice location. The owners were friendly and helpful. A marvellous holiday was had by all.

“In a central location and with ...”

In a central location and with everything you need in a holiday rental. The bathrooms were of an excellent standard and the décor and cleanliness was perfect.

- Ms Wright, January 2016
“Superb property and great value for money”

Loved this Cottage, (No16) When we arrived we had a complimentary gift of jams a lovely gesture we thought. It was like a tardis inside, the bathroom & shower room both had toilets which was a bonus for 6 of us staying there. had a parking permit for 1 car as only one space for a car wasn't too bad to get a space from Sunday had 5 roads to park but most where taken on the Saturday, the owner let us park at the back of the property. Mrs Davies was extremely helpful. We also had a pass to the spa hotel used the swimming pool there & you didn't need to take towels. Quite a few pubs, restaurants, shops & supermarkets close by but quite a walk to the lake parking was a nightmare by the lake. I would definitely recommend this Cottage to anyone.

“Felt like home.”

We love this cottage. It is ideally situated to visit the Lake District area to its fullest. The convenience of being in Windermere makes it ideal for shops, restaurants, bars and cafés. This cottage is immaculate. It is like a tardis - there is so much room. The decor is modern and neutral which I like. The two bathrooms are beautiful as are the three bedrooms and the beds are soooooo comfortable. It is a very quiet street - my only bugbear is that a car parked opposite our driveway on double yellow lines on numerous occasions which made it difficult to get in and out of our space without lots of effort ! We love 'The Prince of India' and 'The Little chippy'. We will definitely be back - don't hesitate in booking this cottage.

“Excellent”

Excellent location literally a stroll away from all the facilities you need but very quiet at the same time. The Cottage was decorated to a high standard and we were very pleased with kitchen bathroom facilities and bedrooms were comfortable. The only small suggestion we would make is to include a of folding chairs for use in the lounge as it was a little tight on sofa space for 6 people. We had a lovely break. thank you

“Lovely family break”

We visited No 16 with our daughter, her husband, baby and toddler who had travelled from Orkney. We had come from near Bath,so everyone was tired. We arrived to lovely welcome pack, a warm house and our host visited to make sure we had all the information we needed, which was very considerate. The house was great for our 2 year old grandson who was safe to run around downstairs. The town cente was seconds away, which was useful when we needed milk etc at the last minute but our house was nice and quiet. Even out of season there was loads to do and we would definitely stay there again.

“Amazing Christmas Break”

A truly memorable Christmas break in this superb cottage. Location - fantasic, walking distance to everything . The house itself is full of charm, decorated beautifully, and has everything you could possible need for a berak. We made christmas dinner here and had 6 of us round the table comfortably. We used the washing machine , DVD player, and bbq on boxing day and all to a high quality standard . Beds are soft and comfy, and a great shower! We used the facilities at the spa/gym which was included in the rental package and was a real nice touch to our wonderful stay! The swimming pool here looks on to the lakes and is def worth exploring . The owner could not have been more helpful to our requests, and was easily available at all times. I have recommended the accomodation to family and friends , and will def be back .

“Simply The Greatest Holiday Rental in the Lakes”

This house in the centre of Bowness,Windermere is amazing, superbly decorated and complete with all the utensils you would expect of a luxury holiday rental. Being in the centre parking is at a premium but we found the space at the front and then the parking permit for the surrounding streets perfect. The village is quaint and full of interesting and quality products. If you are going to the lakes look no further, book now!!!

“A comfortable and relaxed venue”

Four long term friends who gather together annually from all parts of the country, chose this venue from the brochure and were not disappointed. We enjoyed a comfortable and relaxed venue, clean and well appointed though we did wonder how we might have managed if the full compliment of six were present. Our sole concern was the lack of contact with agent or owner when a power failure meant we then had to use our initiative, which worked for us, but could equally not have done so. The central position meant we could walk out to eat and park,driving to other locations around the area during the day to see the sights we wanted to access, particularly the splended art and crafts houses within easy reach.
