Guests say
Oaklea Cottage in Windermere is praised for its excellent location, comfortable beds, and suitability as a base for exploring the countryside. It is recognised as good value and dog-friendly, with easy access to the town centre. Some guests suggest updates to kitchenware and bedding, and note the steep steps to the entrance.
The property is generally described as clean, but one review mentioned a musty smell upon entry and a full rubbish bin, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to the town centre and walking areas, with no issues reported regarding parking, making it an excellent choice for visitors.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the house itself comfortable for their stay. However, there are comments about poor quality bedding and sheets not fitting properly.
While the cottage is deemed well-equipped, there are several mentions of the need for updates to kitchen equipment and utensils. The malfunctioning television and lack of cleaning products are also noted.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Lovely spacious cottage. Good location..Steps up to.the cottage are quite steep so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. A mirror in main bedroom would be good.Also some cleaning products in case of accidents. Overall very pleased with accomodation.

Excellent location. Well equipped apart from lack of iron and ironing board. Beds really comfortable. Easy to find, but narrow steps to property - although there is an alternative access. On the whole good value for money and we had a comfortable stay.
