Guests that stayed at this property said
The property consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being spotless and well-presented. The housekeeper, Jane, is frequently commended for her efforts.
The location is highly valued for being central yet peaceful, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and the lake. The provision of parking is repeatedly noted as a significant benefit.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with several reviews highlighting the quality of the furnishings and the cosy atmosphere. The property is described as homely, contributing to a pleasant stay.
The property is well-equipped, with guests appreciating the available amenities. However, a few guests noted the absence of basics like tea and coffee, and some had issues with the heating, which affects the score slightly.
While guests are delighted with the thoughtful touches like Christmas decorations and a welcome gift, these are not consistently mentioned across all reviews. It's important to note that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Woodside West is a contemporary cottage enjoying views over the village bowling green towards Lake Windermere. The property is centrally located, it’s stylish and comfortable. The boutique features make this accommodation a sophisticated retreat.
You’ll find plenty of space for sociable meals in Woodside West, whilst the views bring about a sense of serenity and of course the bonus of Bowness and Lake Windermere right outside your door..
The patio/terrace with two private parking spaces are rare to find from such a central location, they are perfect for warm days or for enjoying a glass of something before dinner and so here you really do have the best of both worlds. Bowness village is just a stone's throw away, with fine restaurants, convenient shops and pubs. If searching for a smart, central Lakeland cottage, with more bathrooms than bedrooms, Woodside West is well worth considering.

Itâs clean and comfortable with everything you need .The location is great as itâs just off the Main Street yet far enough away to be really quiet. The parking space is essential as Bowness gets very busy. We have stayed here before and look forward to staying again. The only thing is the house has a lot of stairs and there is a bit of a bank to climb from the property to the main road so it is not suitable if you have mobility issues.

It is ideally located in the heart of Bowness and Windermere and yet in a quiet cul de sac with pleasant views. The house is beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly need and it was spotlessly clean.
