Guests that stayed at this property said

There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score.

The location is highly regarded for its excellent access to the Southern Lakes and Windermere, with guests appreciating the quiet side-road setting. The proximity to local attractions and the ease of getting around contribute to a high score.

Guests found the beds very comfortable and the property spacious, with special mentions of the cosy upstairs room and well-equipped kitchen. The garden was also a highlight for relaxation, contributing to the overall comfort.

The property boasts a range of facilities including games, books, and a football table, though there were minor issues with a broken football table and a faulty dishwasher. The well-equipped kitchen and the presence of a secure garden for pets were positives.

While guests appreciated the range of books, games, and DVDs, there is no mention of welcome gifts or special touches that would fall under thoughtfulness. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score, and guests should note that such amenities are not guaranteed.

About this property

Tucked away in the picturesque village of Lindale in the Lake District National Park is this characterful, semi-detached Georgian house, Portobello. Stylishly presented with high ceilings and period features, this stone-built cottage is set over three floors with spacious living areas and a private courtyard, ideal for a group of friends or family of six. Find an off-road parking space upon arrival to make yourself at home with ease. Be welcomed into the sitting room, decked with artwork, three plush sofas and a Smart TV, with the warmth of the electric flame effect fire for added ambiance. Step through into the dining room to gather the family together for hearty meals by the gas stove after the day's adventures; cook books are provided in the book shelf for budding chefs to try something new! Whilst cooking in the beautiful, well-equipped kitchen, complete with a range cooker, dishwasher and a breakfast table to keep the chef company, you'll feel the warmth of underfloor heating on the porcelain tiles. A handy utility is just next door to keep boots, coats and quickly wash walking gear in the washer/dryer ready for a new day! The back door also leads to the garden with a courtyard and outdoor seating to sip a cold glass of wine on warmer nights. Climb the stairs to the first floor where three wonderfully presented bedrooms await sleepy heads; a super-king-size zip/link hosts an en-suite shower room, alongside a king and a twin, all with high ceilings and charming décor. Start your day with a hot shower in the family bathroom and look forward to a well-earned bubble bath after the day's hike. Completing Portobello is the second-floor games room for guests to hideaway with a film on the 54" Curved Smart TV, a good book, or challenge their loved one to a game of table football! Start your mornings with an alfresco breakfast in the garden area whilst you plan the day's adventures. You have access to a children's play area and The Royal Oak, a lovely traditional pub to take a break from cooking and enjoy their lovely meals. Lindale is also an ideal location for touring the Lake District, including Grange-over-Sands for a stroll around the Ornamental Gardens, dining at charming tea rooms or scenic vistas along the promenade. Head to Cartmel to try the iconic sticky toffee pudding and visit the well-known racecourse, whilst the bustling Windermere is within easy reach! Embark on a boat tour over the breath-taking lake, see famous characters at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction or hike up to Orrest Head for unforgettable views. For a base you'll love returning to again and again, book your stay at Portobello.

Lindale, a little community in the south of the Lake District National Park, which is now a unesco World Heritage Site and is only a few kilometres from Lake Windermere, makes the location ideal for a holiday. Set in the beauty of The Southern Lakes, this charming village, complete with a convenient gastropub, The Royal Oak, is an inspiring base from which to explore the entire region. Cartmel, a wonderful community to roam about and famous for its delicious sticky toffee pudding, 12th century priory, National Hunt horse meetings, and gourmet restaurants, is only a short drive away.

  • Mrs

    Would definitely return.

  • Laura

    We had minor inconvenience with the dishwasher being faulty and the bluetooth speaker not working, but these didn't really detract from an enjoyable and comfortable stay.

  • David

    It is only 8 minutes from FellFoot on Windermere. The property is quite large. Three big bedrooms and great downstairs living space. Light and airy. The kitchen had everything you could need and a few more things thrown in. Clean and tidy. If you look it up on google maps don't be put off by the road being close. It wasn't loud and we didn't notice it. Will definitely be back.
