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.
