Perfect little cottage

We stayed here over the August Bank Holiday (4 adults) and had a lovely time. The cottage was conveniently located in a side street in the centre of Windermere with plenty of free parking nearby. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could need and nearby there were shops pubs and restaurants.

Great little short break

Booked this cottage for a short weekend to go up Helvellyn. It was a lovely place to stay, really close to the train station and local shops and pubs but felt super private. And it was clean and cosy which we all needed after a hike! We're already planning to come again.

Fantistic, comfortable cottage in Windermere village

This is a fantastic cottage right in the heart of Windermere village and is a real "hidden gem" being so close to the amenities yet in a quiet lane away from the main roads. It is a real “home from home” and we had a lovely stay there. We highly recommend it and hope to return - next time we will leave the car behind as the train station is 2 mins walk away and the public transport system is excellent.

Great Stay!

The unit was clean and provided everything we needed for 2 nights. Second floor beds were comfortable (didn't use beds in basement). 3 minute walk to train station, 2 minute walk to major grocery store, lots of restaurants in area. No complaints except the lock to get into the unit was a bit tricky - could be upgraded to something a bit easier).

Extremely comfortable stay in lovely Santon Cottage

Lovely cottage in a great location with fabulous hosts. Cottage is spotless and so well looked after, really feels like home from home with everything you could possibly need. Warm and welcoming after days out walking. Beds so comfortable and lovely to relax in the front room in the evening. Children absolutely loved the basement room which is warm and nicely converted into a lovely twin room and both of the bedrooms upstairs are a great size for a cottage setting! Stone’s throw away from a lovely high street of nice bars, restaurants and shops. Couldn’t have asked for more for our long Easter weekend in the Lakes - thank you so much 🙏

Beautiful Home in a Perfect Location

This is a lovely clean and comfortable home. It is ideally suited in the heart of Windemere within walking distance of the railway/bus station and close to shops and attractions on the lake. There are walking trails close by and at least two National Trust properties in close proximity. Parking is limited, but a stay without a car hire is possible because transportation links are close by and accessible. The house itself is lovely and characterful. It was clean and comfortable. The hosts made us feel very welcome. The host is responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

comfortable stay

Sparklingly clean, cute cottage, lovely location tucked down a quiet little lane, close to station (though we were there for the lakes comic festival so didn't explore immediate area) . Comfy beds, lots of space. If you're very sensitive to smell, you might find the basement, twin bedroom a teeny little bit damp smelling, but that really was our only tiny quibble, and it only bothered one or two out of the 5 of us, so everyone found a bedroom to be happy in. I slept in the bunk and was very comfortable as it is quite wide and suitable for adults. A very spacious, clean, beautifully decorated and warm cottage. Highly recommend it.
