Guests say
Nu-Holme is a well-regarded cottage in Windermere, praised for its excellent location and traditional charm. Guests appreciate the functional space, warm atmosphere, and dog-friendly policy. It's equipped with essentials for a comfortable stay, including parking permits and easy access to local amenities. While some find the decor dated, the overall sentiment is positive, with the cottage being a cosy base for exploring the lakes.
The majority of guests report that Nu-Holme is clean, contributing to a pleasant stay. One mention of a specific cleaning issue with the oven door glass being improperly fitted after cleaning slightly lowers the score.
The cottage's location is consistently praised for being central and convenient, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and walking trails. The provision of parking permits is also highly valued.
Guests find Nu-Holme cosy and warm, with comfortable beds and a welcoming feel. However, some guests noted issues with the single bed mattresses and the shower, which affects the score.
The property is well-equipped with kitchen essentials, games, and books. However, some guests feel that the facilities could benefit from modernisation, such as the addition of a smart TV, and there are mentions of maintenance issues like the oven door and shower.
While the reviews suggest that the property is well-stocked and provides a homely experience, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

Nu-Holme is fantastic value and in a good location, it was our second time there and will be going back on our next lakes visit. Its is fitted out with traditional pine furniture and is a very functional place to stay, has a warm feel to it and plenty of space for a small family and is dog friendly.It has parking permits for near by villages including Ambleside, as well as on an street parking permit, It has easy access to all Windermere's shops, restaurants and bars and these are all in walking distance to Nu Holme. It is not super modern in it styling/decor so if this is a priority for you then it might not suit but it is clean and has every thing you need for a comfortable holiday in the lakes and is great value for money.
