The birdlife and other wildlife is a delight. Well located for walking straight onto the hills. It's comfortable, plenty of hot water, and the owners were very helpful with an internet problem (due to the network provider not the property).

The location of the cottage is ideal for exploring the Lakes, and it was great to be so close to Ullswater and Pooley Bridge. The Winder Cottages site itself is beautiful with unbeatable views of the surrounding countryside. It is wonderful for wildlife lovers too! From the comfort of the cottage, we saw red squirrels feeding and playing around the tree mere metres away, flashes of a stoat scurrying past the window, and a wonderful array of birds. We also spent enjoyable evenings sitting out in the garden area, watching and listening to tawny owls in the wooded area til long after sunset. The cottage has pretty much everything you need, and the welcome biscuits were a lovely surprise! We would definitely recommend this place to others and would love to return ourselves!

The views are spectacular (from every window) and there is an abundance of wildlife which we happily watched every morning whilst eating our breakfast (my 11 and 15 year olds didnât touch their mobile phones!!). The cottage was a home from home with everything supplied (bed linen, towels, cutlery etc.) and we absolutely loved our 3 night stay. The information provided by Ged and Julie prior to our stay was most helpful and they were happy to help with any questions we had. If you are looking for a âget away from it allâ place to stay we would highly recommend Winder Ghyll.
