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.

Excellent property located well within walking distance of cafes, restaurants and pubs. Bowness is only a 20-25 minute walk, however the bus stops just over the road from the property. The only issue is when you go inside you can smell damp. This didn’t bother us too much as we was only at the property to sleep. However when we did get home and unpacked, our clothes did smell of the damp.
