We had an absolutely perfect stay here, the staff were the nicest I've ever experienced, the rooms beautiful, they allowed us early check in without an extra charge, they ensured a parking space was kept for us after I rang up and to top it all off breakfast was cracking, 100% will be returning. Couldn't fault it if I tried

Perfect

even though ive rated 4 out of 5 i feel the need to say a few things first being  that check in is a little late usually around 2pm its 4pm here  the room number 7 was ideal for me on ground level and it was a cosy room downfall was the kettle there was no plug near the complimentary tray so had to boil on the floor near the fridge and also kettle did not fit under the tap so had to fill up with a cup. The coat hanging was a bit difficult they didnt come off the rail. there was a good hair dryer but nowhere to see what you were doing the mirror at the back of the door could have done with a plug near it . all just needs re configuring . the breakfast was good but the fried eggs where always hard so opted for scrambled on last morning. The staff are wellcoming thats a big plus for me and the place is ideal for walking into the town .

Near to everything.

Room 8 Very small no hanging space in the wardrobe. Could not fill the kettle up in the sink cups and spoons dirty. Needs a good paint touch up. I would rather stay somewhere else. Why too small pictures on Web site are miss leading. Maybe rooms are better outside the annex 

Never again, I would stay somewhere else 

Good Location. Comfy bed and great shower plus lovely toiletries. Parking was a bonus. Breakfast good overall. Disappointing one day. The Spanish waitress was a delight. Not sure if we met Margaret that previous reviewers speak off, maybe she has reduced her visits to the B& B.    Room 4 was cramped for two. Very small wardrobe and limited storage but it was clean. We had no trouble with noise. Stayed 4 days. 


Slightly Disappointing.

We stayed 21st April to 24th April, beautiful room, very clean, close to all amenities, breakfast was very good quality.  Margaret looked after us very well during breakfast.

Only thing I could fault is the bed was extremely uncomfortable and very hard, when looking we noticed there was a board under the mattress not sure why, but mattress was extremely uncomfortable.

Walls are very thin and you can hear every conversation in the next room and every floorboard upstairs creak and doors banging.

Overall a good stay, but unfortunately due to poor mattress quality and lack of sleep will not be returning.

Rate 8/10.

Overall good, need to improve mattress quality, and noise control on evenings.

Booked the cottage for a 3 night break,checking was fine got a text on the morning  for the key code and had a early check in booked,When we arrived  there was 7 parking bays but one was marked with a x through it ,but parking wasent a problem as the property was  half booked, Room was on the small side and needed abit of  a little touch up (wall paper peeling off the walls behind the bed and in the corner) room was cold and when we phoned the number up that was left we was told that the heating dont come on till 4pm, we than phoned again at 4.40pm that the heating didn't come  on and could somone come and have a look atit, they turned up  20 minutes later with a portable heater and explained the cleaner must have turned the heating off, Breakfast was a bit of as you had to wait for a certan time  8.30 till 9.15 , Had to send o e breakfast back as the cook put cinnamon on the egg benedict.Goox location to the town and pubs ,restaurants and to the lakes , the cleaness of the room was okay all they did was empty the bins , stocked up the loo roll and put clean towels on the bed with out making it,( this is the first place iv'e been to that didn't make the bed)  other than that the stay was enjoyable

A break near the lakes

Had a great stay at the cottage. The rooms were cleaned daily and you could request a change of towels if you stayed less then 3 days or if you stay more it gets changed every 3 days. Breakfast forms were left every day and you can complete those before 11pm the next day. Margaret was great making sure everybody was happy and was lovely to meet every morning for breakfast she really made the stay! 

There’s also free wifi which is on the back of the room key tag if you’re unobservant like us.

Great stay

We had a fabulous 2 nights at the Cottage this weekend. Margaret was the most warm, hospitable host and nothing was too much trouble. Bed was comfy and room lovely. Vegetarian breakfast was  fantastic. Close to bus stop to travel into Bowness, Grasmere, Ambleside and Rydalmere. Brilliant stay. Some nice local cafes and bars too.Thank you.

Wonderful host, great location, amazing breakfast

We booked in here for 2 nights. I had asked if we could check in early if possible and sure enough, we were advised the same day that it was fine. The housekeeper was immensely helpful and lovely to deal with. Our room was as we had expected and the bed and the pillows were very very comfy. We had a lovely day and an evening meal in Windermere. We retired to bed around 9.30 only to be awoken approx 10.30 with the TV of the bedroom above us which did not get turned off till 1.15. It was impossible to sleep until the TV was turned off. We were awakened at 5.15 with the toilet of the room upstairs being flushed, twice. After that, between the occupants walking on the creaky floorboards, coughing, snoring and more trips to the bathroom, we decided to make a cup of tea, have an early breakfast and leave without staying our second night even though we had paid for it. Unfortunately, the lovely housekeeper was unavailable so we just left the keys in the door and mailed the owner. To date, we have received no acknowledgement from them. Such a shame as the bed and pillows were so very comfy and the room was nice. Would have liked feedback from the owner.

Disturbed sleep

From start to finish, staying at The Cottage was simply wonderful. 
First of all we wanted to express how lovely, kind, sweet and hospitable Margaret is (our host for the weekend). She made our stay even better and we couldn’t have wished for such a fab stay - thank you Margaret. The Cottage is lucky to have you!!! 
I was contacted by Margaret earlier in the day, we were meant to arrive to be told the room would be ready before 4pm, which was great. 
On arrival, we had free parking and was greeted with a warm welcome, and told of local attractions. We were even offered a book with places to visit. I noticed lots of other leaflets on offer too for people to browse. 
We had the attic room (no 6), which was lovely. I picked it for it’s bath mainly as we were camping for 4 nights and wanted a bit of luxury. I was worried it being the attic room and the only window in the room being high it might feel a little claustrophobic, but it was. It was spacious, cosy and very clean. 
The room had a cupboard with plenty of hangers in, fan and blanket. A fridge with mini freezer in. Kettle with milk, coffee etc. 
The bed was incredibly comfortable and we slept like babies. 
TV in the room which was a nice luxury after camping - although the guide does not work on the controller. Easy to fix though. 
We were left with breakfast menus which had to be handed in downstairs before 11pm - a big thank you to Margaret for hosting breakfast and to the chef for cooking. The breakfast was faultless! You even had several cereal on offer, fresh fruit, tinned fruit, yoghurt, jams, pastries, fruit juice, hot drinks and more on offer. It was delicious!
I booked a x2 night stay at The Cottage as a surprise for my partners 50th and I am so glad I went with here. It’s a beautiful place, near the high street in Windermere with many shops close by including plenty of restaurants to choose from. 
Thank you again for making our stay so great.
We will be back!!!!
