We had a lovely half term break.
We had a lovely half term break. Perfect for couples and families of small children. A little cosy but fine for our family. You can walk to shops, restaurants, the lake plus Bowness-on-Windermere. The location made it for us. The host checked in on us at the beginning and end which was perfect. We needed £12 for the week in the electricity meter, but we used the washing machine and tumble dryer twice, and the oven almost every night. Don’t forget your towels and linen.

We enjoyed a nice break staying in this apartment, which is situated only a few minutes walk from the centre of Windermere. It was very clean and tidy, the lounge/diner/kitchen is cosy and well equipped. The owner is next door and was very friendly and helpful with tips about restaurants etc.

Very nice cottage. Everything one needs for a short break away. Location is good for Windermere,Bowness and Lakeside - all accessible without going on the main roads!

Wonderful Cosy cottage.
Wonderful Cosy cottage. Within easy walking distance of Windermere village and, if you don’t mind a slightly longer walk, Bowness-on-Windermere for the boats. Really friendly host. Would definitely recommend this lovely cottage
