This is a lovely cottage - very clean and comfortable and exceptionally well presented. Located in a very quiet, peaceful position, and only 5-10 minutes walk to pubs and restaurants in Windermere, 30 minutes walk to Bowness.As others have said, the driveway is narrow, but nothing to worry about unless you have a larger vehicle. We didn't need to feed the electric in the week we were there, but topped it up on departure.The owner is very attentive and friendly, but not intrusive!A perfect place for a quiet retreat for a couple (only one king size bed).My last words - we'd not hesitate to stay here again if we're visiting the area.

Perfect! Location just 5 mins walk from Windermere shops and restaurants but very quiet. You look out onto woods and gardens. Bus stop at end of road for main route into Bowness and Kendal or up to Ambleside and Keswick. Very good quality, tasteful decor and furnishings. Allocated parking space a little awkward to get in and out of, especially for a larger car.
