Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers are highly impressed with the cleanliness of the property, often describing it as outstanding. The attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to the positive guest experience.
The property's location is frequently praised for being close to Bowness and within easy reach of local attractions. Its proximity to the lake and shops, along with the tranquil surroundings, are appreciated by guests.
Comfort is a strong point for this property, with guests finding the beds super comfy and the space very accommodating for large groups. However, a suggestion to upgrade sofas for better back support indicates a slight room for improvement.
Facilities like the well-fitted kitchen and en-suite bathrooms are well-received, though some minor maintenance issues and a lack of detailed instructions for appliances have been pointed out. The hot tub is a standout feature that guests thoroughly enjoy.
While guests mention thoughtful touches like homemade scones on arrival, there is not enough consistent reference to gifts or special attention to guests' needs to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed.
About this property
This lovely five bedroom cottage is set amongst beautiful woodlands on a high promontory on the edge of Bowness-on-Windermere. An outstanding location set amongst typical Lakeland countryside, within easy reach of Lake Windermere and the ever popular Bowness on Windermere. Set back on the eastern shores of the lake in a hidden glade, guests will be delighted by the lovely atmosphere afforded by the mature trees, wild flowers, bracken and the local wildlife. A great location for a group of friends, walking group or large family to get together and embrace a memorable break; enjoy the beautiful walks from the doorstep and return home and enjoy a good relaxing soak in the hot tub. Featuring a spacious ground floor layout with bright and cheery entrance hall, an adjoining snug area with flat screen TV, a cosy sitting room also with flat screen TV with woodburning stove and access out to the decked area and views across the beautiful grounds. A modern woodburning stove makes for cosy evenings sitting together and talking about the day's adventures, enjoying a nice supper and maybe one or two bottles of locally brewed ale.

We visited as a large family group for my fathers 60th birthday and had a great stay. The cottage was enjoyed by us all including the hot tub. Great location to Windermere and lovely local walks.

Very large, well equipped house with loads of room for a family up to 12 people. The cleanliness was second to non and Iâve never slept in such a comfy bed in any holiday cottage before. The hot tub was a fabulous addition too. The surrounding area is beautiful and just nicely out of Bowness so very quiet. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners, we ordered pies from a local shop for our first night and they were already in the freezer when we arrived. Cannot recommend this place enough. Wonderful!
