Guests say
Above Cott is a well-regarded cottage in Windermere, praised for its perfect location and comfortable setting. Guests appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, natural light, and open plan living area. The provision of a parking permit is a notable convenience. While some guests have reported issues, the responsive staff and the cottage's overall charm have led to repeat visits.
Cleanliness has been mentioned as an issue in one review, noting the property was not cleaned to a high standard. However, this is not a recurring theme across all reviews.
The location is consistently praised for being excellent, central, and convenient for families, with easy access to local amenities and transport links.
The cottage is described as comfortable with comfy beds and a nice open plan living area. One review suggests it may not be as comfortable for more than four adults due to seating.
Facilities are generally good, but some maintenance issues like a leak and a moth infestation have been reported. The property is also noted to be in need of an update.
There is no mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Great apartment in the centre of Windermere. It's very peaceful though apart from bin morning. Lots of natural light and nice open plan living area. Two bathrooms. Comes with a handy parking permit that you can use in other villages too.I would say 4 adults max as not enough comfy seating for 6 adults.
