Snaptrip says
Lakestone Cottage in Windermere is praised for its cleanliness, prime location, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the property's proximity to local amenities and the warmth and comfort it provides after exploring the Lake District. While some guests mention the need for maintenance and more comfortable furniture, the overall experience is positive, with many willing to recommend and return.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests report the cottage as spotlessly clean and tidy, contributing to a welcoming and comfortable stay. However, a few guests noted issues with cleanliness outside the property and some kitchenware.
Guests are very pleased with the cottage's location, finding it conveniently close to Windermere and Bowness, with easy access to shops, cafes, and restaurants. The quiet neighbourhood and availability of nearby walks are also appreciated.
While the property is generally found to be warm and comfortable, several guests have commented on the need for more comfortable sofas and beds. The comfort of the living room furniture and mattresses was a recurring theme in the feedback.
The cottage is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and guests are pleased with the amenities provided. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as the need for fresh paint, better lighting outside, and repairs to the oven and garden furniture.
While some guests have appreciated the provision of items such as a dog bowl and a cleaning pack, there is insufficient information on consistent thoughtful gestures like welcome gifts to accurately score this category.
About this property
Lakestone Cottage is a lovingly refurbished, contemporary Lakeland getaway, conveniently located in a sleepy backwater just a short distance from Bowness, Windermere and the shores of the lake. This is a smart property with everything a small group or family may need for a relaxing and fun-filled time in the countryside.
There’s a modern, yet cosy lounge, a great place to relax beside the wood burner after a day of adventure out on the fells. Two plush double bedrooms will ensure all guests have a good night’s sleep, whilst reinvigoration comes in the shape of a luxury bathroom with a free standing, double ended bath and separate shower cubicle. If you’re looking to explore some of the most popular areas of the Lake District, yet have complete peace and privacy, then Lakestone Cottage could be just the ticket.
The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.

In addition we could not access the property wi-fi, there was no information book within the cottage, and the phone number given in the arrival email was no use, nor was there any reply to my email asking for the password. This was a real issue as it was impossible to get a signal for 4G or even 5G with our phones while in the cottage. The exterior of the property also needs spruced up but ultimately that did not affect our holiday the way my previous comments did.

Lakestone cottage is beautifully decorated inside, the outside could do with a lick of paint but the location was within easy walking distance to windermere and bowness

It was the perfect base for exploring the beautiful Lake District, offering a warm and comfortable place to return to after chilly April days. The cottage was as described, and our young family enjoyed our time there. While the sofa could have been a bit more comfortable, that's a minor detail in an otherwise fantastic stay. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a Lake District getaway!
