Fairy tale cottage
Adorable little cottage with lovely hosts. The cottage was very well-equipped, and comfortable, though quite small. It is in a gorgeous garden right near the center of Windermere. Thank you!

The Floss
We had a lovely welcome, from our golden hosts, Ron and Val in a quiet and delightful garden. What a fantastic location to visit the Lake District. We did not have to drive as we had the buses up at the railway station to take us everywhere we wanted to go. Yummy cakes on arrival at The Floss and milk in the fridge for a drink and rest before unpacking. Truly a home from home! THANK YOU SO MUCH, Vrbo, Michael, Val and Ron.

Beautiful cottage in stunning gardens
The Floss really is a perfect little getaway. Beautifully clean, very comfortable with the added bonus of a stunning garden to sit and enjoy after a long days walking. The welcome cakes were an unexpected treat and absolutely scrummy. Perfectly located so that you can explore both Bowness and Windermere, along with some very nice restaurants, and also great links to public transport if required. And of course plenty of great walks on the doorstep to keep you busy.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Ellis

Host profile image
We are Ron and Val
I have lived in Windermere all my life and Val, my wife is just about local, moving here when she was a teenager!
We ran a local florist business in the village for about 30 years and now I spend most of my time, either in the garden or fulfilling my role as of Chairman for the Heathwaite Junior Football Club and member of the Taverners Cricket Club. Val is very happy to be retired!

Why they chose this property

We bought the house in 1981 as both Val and me fell in love with it. The house is beautiful Lakeland slate with a large bay window letting in loads of light to the front room. The garden was huge and covered in a mass of rhododendron buses, flower beds and trees. In the grounds was an out building, again in Lakeland stone and a large bay window, which much later became The Floss.
The house is so quiet and private even though being right in the heart of Windermere with easy access to the village or a short walk to the Lake.
The house was a great place to bring up our children, is enjoyed by the grandchildren and Flossy the family dog loved playing out in the garden all her life. Our daughters dog Scarlett spends plenty of time in it too chasing her much loved ball!

What makes this property unique

The benefits of staying here are vast. The gardens have become even more spectacular over the last few years, ever since retiring I enjoy many an hour digging, weeding and planting in all weathers!
The amount of land surrounding the house and cottage is fantastic. There are very few houses like ours in the village which have the benefit of being so central and having the space and peace away from it all.
The slate seating area adjacent to the cottage is a great vantage point for enjoying the garden, reading a good book or chatting with friends and family. It is also the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine or a Pims in the summer sun (weather permitting, it is the Lake District!)
