Guests that stayed at this property said
The property consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with numerous guests highlighting the property's tidiness as a positive aspect. This suggests a well-maintained and clean environment.
The location is frequently commended for being central and convenient, close to shops, restaurants, and public transport. The provision of a parking space is appreciated, although access may be tight for larger vehicles.
Comfort is generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable living spaces. However, some guests noted issues with bed comfort and the presence of stairs, which may affect those with mobility concerns.
Facilities are regarded as comprehensive and well-maintained, with a few guests noting minor maintenance issues such as a small sink and a temperamental internet connection. The property is equipped with essentials and some guests suggested improvements like USB sockets.
While some guests mentioned a lack of a welcome pack, which was expected from the description, and others appreciated the provision of fresh flowers and cake, there are not enough consistent references to thoughtfulness in the form of gifts or special touches to provide a score. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

Mrs Tiggy Winkles is in a well situated location in Windermere. We enjoyed a walk into Bowness on Windermere on several occasions. We even managed breakfast outside using the outdoor garden set. The setting is very well equipped, comfortable and homely.
