Set in a quiet cul-de-sac only yards from the heart of this popular village, School Knott Cottage on the site of the old Kodak building, is ideally placed for exploring such delights as the wonderful walking, shopping, touring and restaurants this area has to offer. With easy access to the main road Ambleside, Grasmere and Keswick are soon reached. Just five minutes up the road it is ideally placed for Rail travellers, Booths Supermarket and the famous Lakeland shop.
Orrest Head, the famous viewpoint, is only a short walk away where stunning views over Lake Windermere and School Knott can be seen. Bowness on Lake Windermere with its wealth of shops and restaurants and lake cruises is just a nice stroll down the road (approx. 1 mile).
The owners have thoughtfully refurbished the cottage to provide stylish, quality accommodation, using a base of neutral colours with clever splashes of colour throughout to create a most individual yet classic look. With a large screen television in the living room, large comfortable, deep cushioned leather sofas, solid oak furniture, a flame effect electric fire set in a marble fireplace, and a library of books. To quote the Guest Book ’a home from home with everything anyone could possibly need’ and ‘a thousand times better than we expected’.
Enjoy your stay at School Knott Cottage.

The cottage was very clean and well equipped, cosy and warm and fairly quiet considering how central it is. It’s not a picturesque cottage or a picturesque location but it’s very convenient, particularly if you’re using public transport. There’s no outside space but we were out enjoying the area the whole time anyway. A good family base for exploring with everything you need to feel comfortable.

Fantastic cottage, very well equipped with good quality furnishing and even crockery and glassware great. Very central location in walking distance of so much . Felt like home from home . Spotlessly clean which even more important this year . Only difficulty was parking very tight and on a slope, our difficulty was having big vans parked either side of us making it stressful . Would definitely recommend this wonderful cottage Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Fantastic property in a really good location.
Fantastic property in a really good location. Quiet yet in a bustling town with off street parking albeit on a difficult slope. The cottage was homely and furnished extremely well. The only thing that the cottage needs is a garden space for the kids to play outside in.... however this is fairly difficult to achieve. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommended.

Another wonderful visit to this cottage and we’ll be booking again next year. Only one small gripe, the broadband seemed very intermittent. I reckon this needs a check.

The most important requirement we have is the cleanliness of the cottage and this cottage came up trumps. Well equipped with kitchen utensils, good shower and comfortable beds. The only slight criticism is that it would have been nice to have a small welcome pack. Dennis

We spent a week at the School Knott Cottage with our two boys, and found it a perfect base for exploring the South-Eastern Lakes. Cottage's location in the centre of town is handy for walking to restaurants and shops. We also walked to Bowness (25min) a couple of times instead of driving. We brought a small car, which made using our allocated parking slot near the cottage easier to use. The cottage itself was very clean, well stocked and comfortable. We loved it.
