Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-maintained, with spotless linen and tidy rooms. However, a few guests mentioned issues with floor cleanliness and dust, which slightly impacts the overall impression.
The location is frequently described as excellent, offering a quiet and peaceful setting close to Bowness with easy access to local attractions. Some guests noted the walk to town can be a bit unsafe without pavements, but this is offset by ample parking and the property's natural surroundings.
Guests consistently report a high level of comfort, with numerous positive comments about the comfortable beds and spacious living areas. The presence of en-suite bathrooms and a large dining area contribute to a comfortable stay.
The facilities, including a hot tub, well-equipped kitchen, and outdoor areas, are generally praised. Some minor issues were raised regarding maintenance, such as a broken dishwasher and toaster, but these seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The provision of welcome packs, including scones, and the attention to detail in the amenities are appreciated by guests, indicating thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gestures, while enjoyed by previous guests, may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
An outstanding cottage set in an elevated position in woodland within walking distance of Bowness-on-Windermere and minutes from Lake Windermere. Guests will be thrilled as they arrive in this hidden glade set amongst mature woodland, with native trees and local wildlife on display. An ideal location for that much sought after Lakeland break with family and friends, explore the area, discover the many footpaths or simply relax in the hot tub and take in the beautiful surroundings. Recently renovated, this contemporary and welcoming cottage offers an ideal layout, with many of the aspects taking advantage of the lovely woodland views. The sitting room is spacious and includes a cosy woodburner, a large screen wall-mounted Smart TV and stylish, comfortable furnishings. A delightful, well-equipped kitchen with open plan dining area and an adjoining utility area provide a great space to prepare family meals and sit around to enjoy a glass of wine and a good old catch up. A ground floor bedroom with king-size double luxurious bed and a modern en-suite with walk-in shower, provide that little extra touch of luxury. There is also a useful cloakroom in the utility area and a spacious entrance hall. Upstairs, the cottage features a further four bedrooms, two with en-suite and a superb family bathroom with a relaxing bath. Outside, there is a decked area overlooking the woods and a luxurious hot tub, an ideal spot to relax after a strenuous day out on the local fells. Just a short distance away is the wonderful Windermere Golf Club, a most welcoming club with a great layout to suit all standards. In the opposite direction, a short walk takes guests down to the Lake Ferry where a short cruise gives access to the far shore, Hawkshead, Coniston Water and the magical Tarn Hows. All the facilities of Bowness-on-Windermere are a short drive or a long walk from Cherry cottage and the not to be missed attractions include the hand-made chocolate shop and the wonderful walks along the Bowness promenade where the many cruise ships run down the Lake to Ambleside. There are picturesque walks straight from the cottage door including the Dales Way which runs by the golf club, footpaths to Crook and Staveley and for the more adventurous walks across to Cartmel Fell. Further afield Brant Fell which provides stunning views over Lake Windermere and its surrounding fells, including the Langdales and Crinkle Crags are some of the most outstanding challenges in this wonderful area. A delightful cottage in a beautiful area, ideal for family and friends to get together and enjoy a very special Lakeland holiday.
The vibrant twin towns of Bowness and Windermere hold enduring appeal for visitors to the Lake District National Park, with each providing a range of nearby attractions, amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes.

Very beautiful scenery and peaceful. Only issue was that there was some mould in some rooms and the slip mat in downstairs bathroom also had mould on it. Good that all rooms had access to their own bathroom facilities. Loads of pans as and utensils to use in kitchen also. Beds were very comfy. Overall stay was lovely and would go again.

We stayed at Cherry Cottage which was so spacious, there was 7 of us and not once did it feel like that, even if we were all in the kitchen! Hot tub was lovely, even in the rain and the garden views were gorgeous. Beds super comfy, 3 bedrooms with an ensuite and 1 main bathroom upstairs with a toilet downstairs too. Huge living room and plenty of seats around the dining table for dinner and games. The virtual guide which was sent a week before check in was fantastic - great idea and easy to use! Less than 5min drive to Bowness-on-windermere. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
