Wonderful location, a large old house with good sized rooms but needs some attention to detail on social facilities and comfort as some rooms having no or little heating.

A large and spacious house, well located and comfortable. There are a few bits that could be improved (sharp knives in the kitchen, coat hangers etc.) but would recommend to people who need a big house for a large party of people.

Excellent cottage to stay in, it was in a great location and central to every where. We had a wonderful time touring around the Lake District and it was lovely to come back to Windermere where there are very good bars and restaurants, especially the Tapas Bar and the crafty Baa.

The house offered excellent accommodation in terms of comfort and decor, the added bonus of an en suite shower room in 3 out of the 4 bedrooms was excellent. We really enjoyed the open plan aspect of the kitchen and dining room and spent our evenings in there. The location itself is brilliant and we parked the car up Friday afternoon and never usedRead more it until we went home as perfectly located between Windermere and Bowness on foot. We would stay again - group of ladies in our late 40s and 50s Hide
