It is tucked away in Windermere so close to everything and a two mins walk from the heart, but away from most traffic. We had a slight hiccup at the beginning and the owner phoned directly to ensure everything went smoothly. We appreciated the call and they are obviously on the ball. Would highly recommend!

It was very clean, spacious and comfortable with everything you might need for a great holiday. The bed is one of the most comfortable I have slept in in a holiday home. The 'Box of Treats' was a lovely surprise. Thank you. The location is perfect. We were able to park opposite the property and didn't use the car again until we went home. The bus service around the Lakes is excellent. We will return.
