Rated 5/50 by XP-Traveler on 8th July 2019

"This is a fabulous cottage with plenty of room and car park at front of the house (plus additional parking on street with permit for 1 additional car). It is a hop and skip away from shops, restaurants, butcher, supermarket. Windermere train is within walking distance. The cottage is equipped for cooking and laundry. The owner is very responsive and helpful. It has 2 renovated and modern bathroom. Lots of closet and drawers for clothes if you are having a long stay. There are guest pass for nearby health club where there is a pool. We did not have time to go but is a nice plus. It is a nice 20-30mins walk to the lakes. Would recommend leaving your car at the cottage and just have a nice stroll to the lakes as it is difficult to find car park. This was a perfect location for us to explore different parts of the lake district as Windermere is quite centrally located."

"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."

"Ideal location just 1/2 mile from lake and 1 mile from Windermere. The only minor irritant with the property was the number of signs posted all over the property about what we could (mainly couldn't do). We are adults and don't need reminding of what our responsibilities of renting a property entails."

"Very pleasing cottage for family holiday. Everyone enjoyed the quality of the cottage and its location. Beautiful bedrooms, lovely bathrooms. Peaceful in early morning and most of day. Garden tiny, but we enjoyed two barbeques."

"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"

"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."

"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 ."

"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!!!"

"We arrived and found a welcome pack in the kitchen with tea, jam etc in the same very nice! We loved the decor and the modern feel and the location was excellent, right in the centre and near all shopd and restaurants, take aways etc, beds very comfy although could do with buying some pillow protectors! In the advert for the place it says parking for 2 cars on the front - you wouldnt in any way fit 2 we lukily only took 1 car and had trouble getting out sometimes because of the chef from over the road parking straight opposite making it very difficult to manouver. Not so sure I would go again just yet as I will wait until my youngest daughter whom has just gone into a bed is bigger as no stair gate on top landing which would scare me! All in all though I would go again probably in a few years lovely!"

"This certainly is a luxurious cottage and it's in a great location for the centre of town, with coffee shops and restaurants a stones throw away. The owner was very helpful too. The only draw back is that the lounge and 'the garden' are extremely small."

"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."
