Guests say
School Knott Cottage in Windermere receives glowing praise for its immaculate cleanliness, central yet peaceful location, and homely comfort. Guests consistently highlight the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and thoughtful touches throughout. The property’s proximity to shops, restaurants, and transport links is a major advantage, as is the dedicated parking, though some found parking on the slope a little tricky. Many guests mention a desire to return, reflecting high satisfaction. Occasional minor issues, such as the lack of a downstairs toilet and some TV functionality, are noted but do not detract from overwhelmingly positive experiences.
Cleanliness is repeatedly described as exceptional, with guests noting the cottage is spotlessly clean and well maintained throughout.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to Windermere’s centre, shops, restaurants, and transport links, while still being peaceful. Only minor parking challenges are mentioned.
Guests find the cottage extremely comfortable, with special mention of the beds and relaxing living spaces. The property is described as a home from home.
Facilities are comprehensive and well maintained, with a fully equipped kitchen, modern amenities, and useful extras like a drying cupboard. Minor issues with TV and the absence of a downstairs toilet are noted by a few guests.
Several guests appreciated welcome packs and thoughtful touches, though it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

My son and I had a lovely (very hot) week at the cottage. It is really well equipped and in a great position in Windermere relative to the station and buses as well as Booths supermarket. We would happily return in the future.
