Guests say

Woodside West is a well-received cottage in Bowness-On-Windermere, praised for its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and excellent location. Guests appreciate the tranquil setting, convenient parking, and the property's proximity to local amenities. While some guests suggest minor improvements, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many looking forward to returning.

The property consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with numerous guests describing it as immaculate, spotless, and very tidy. 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 private parking is a significant advantage, although some guests note a steep bank and steps which could be challenging for those with mobility issues.

Guests find the property comfortable, with well-appointed furnishings and a homely feel. The beds are noted to be clean and comfortable, contributing to a restful stay. However, the presence of multiple stairs and the layout over three floors may not suit everyone.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and utility room. Some guests missed having basics like tea and coffee, and there were occasional comments on heating issues and outdoor space. The lack of Wi-Fi is noted, but not a significant detractor.

While there is a mention of a gift and Christmas decorations, there are not enough references to gauge consistent thoughtfulness across all stays. Therefore, it cannot be confirmed that such gestures are a standard practice for all guests.

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.

    The property is well appointed and very comfortable. The housekeeper, Jane, was extremely helpful and prepared everythig for our stay. The property is perfectly situated for easy walking access to Bowness and Windermere. Thank you for a very pleasant holiday in the English Lakes.

    Well kitted out and very clean and comfortable. Excellent location, right in town centre. Easy parking

  • Mary

    It’s very comfortable,clean and well equipped. Sykes photo of the “patio” is very misleading as it’s just in the car park and others seemed to use it. In late September that didn’t matter but it may to some people. Overall it’s a very good holiday home with a large ground floor utility room - useful for walking gear
