Unique cottage in a beautiful location.

We had a lovely time at Mislet Cottage. The property was clean and tidy and our kids loved the attic room. There’s a great spot on the terrace to sit and enjoy a drink while taking in the view. The owner Mr Walling was very welcoming and gave us some history about the area and building. The cottage is ideally located for Windermere, Bowness, Ambleside and Kendal. Coniston water is 35 minutes, Keswick and Derwent water are under and hour away.

Great location, cottage has some limitations

The spot and the history are definitely the highlights here. It's in a beautiful and very quiet location in the Lake District hills, just 5 min drive from grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants in Windermere. The cottage itself is quaint, but a bit cramped. Beds are a bit hard, and the ceiling in the sitting room (a former Quaker chapel) is very low (below 6' in spots). So a taller crowd may, like me, bonk your head a few times. Still, it was fine for a couple nights.
