Guests that stayed at this property said
The property consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting the spotless condition and the efforts of the housekeeper, Jane. This suggests a very high standard of cleanliness is maintained.
The location is frequently described as ideal, being central to amenities yet quiet and peaceful. The convenience of the location, coupled with the benefit of off-road parking, is a recurring positive theme in the reviews.
Guests find the property comfortable, with several reviews mentioning the quality of the furnishings and the homely feel. The presence of multiple comments about good sleep quality and comfort suggests a high level of satisfaction in this area.
The property is well-equipped, with mentions of a well-stocked kitchen and useful utilities like a washing machine and dryer. However, some guests noted the absence of basics such as tea and coffee, and there were comments about heating issues, which slightly lowers the score.
While guests have mentioned a welcome gift and appreciated the Christmas decorations, there are not enough references to consistent thoughtful gestures or amenities that would guarantee a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
About this property
Woodside West is a contemporary cottage enjoying views over the village bowling green towards Lake Windermere. The property is centrally located, it’s stylish and comfortable. The boutique features make this accommodation a sophisticated retreat.
You’ll find plenty of space for sociable meals in Woodside West, whilst the views bring about a sense of serenity and of course the bonus of Bowness and Lake Windermere right outside your door..
The patio/terrace with two private parking spaces are rare to find from such a central location, they are perfect for warm days or for enjoying a glass of something before dinner and so here you really do have the best of both worlds. Bowness village is just a stone's throw away, with fine restaurants, convenient shops and pubs. If searching for a smart, central Lakeland cottage, with more bathrooms than bedrooms, Woodside West is well worth considering.

There are also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake. The area is ideally situated for exploring all that this region has to offer, whether by foot, bike, car, railway or bus; and is within easy reach of attractions such as the spectacular Langdales, Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top House at Far Sawrey, Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park, with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking and “Go-Ape” adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike.

Not a problem for us but might be for some people especially getting all the food shopping to the kitchen upstairs and suitcases up two flights to the bedrooms. The photo of the outside space is misleading, itâs not private in the sense of not being overlooked as itâs in the car park area, but it is only used by this property. We didnât like it and didnât want to use it.
