Lakeside Cottage in Windermere receives praise for its beautiful grounds, comfortable and well-equipped interiors, and hospitable owners. Guests enjoy the private jetty and proximity to local attractions. Some mention traffic noise and maintenance issues, but the overall sentiment is positive, with many planning to return.
Most guests found the cottage clean and well-kept, though there were a few reports of crumbs and unclean areas. The majority of feedback suggests a satisfactory level of cleanliness, but there is room for improvement.
The location is highly regarded for its convenience to Windermere and Ambleside, with private lake access being a highlight. However, some guests noted traffic noise due to proximity to a main road, slightly impacting the tranquillity expected.
Guests generally found the cottage cosy and homely, with a comfortable bed and warm atmosphere. Some mentioned the sofas and pillows could be improved, indicating a need for updates to ensure consistent comfort.
Facilities are well-received, with the cottage being well-equipped for stays. However, there are mentions of maintenance issues such as the need for new cushion fillings and minor repairs, suggesting that while facilities are good, they could benefit from more attentive upkeep.
While guests appreciated the welcome pack and found the hosts to be helpful, there is not enough consistent information about gifts or additional thoughtful touches to accurately score this category.
