Excellent - surprisingly spacious, very close to the centre of Windermere, allocated parking and spotlessly clean. Would definitely stay here again

Had a lovely stay at School Knott Cottage. Everything was as required, house was spotlessly clean and tidy with everything close to hand. Easy access to house and local amenities.
