We travelled from Shropshire during storm Babet so had to leave earlier than planned to ensure a steady and safe drive up but aware that the cottage wasnât accessible until 4pm. Contacted the owner to ask if it was possible to gain entry sooner rather than us having to hang around in atrocious weather and Richard was so helpful and understanding and called us back to say the property was ready at 2pm!! We were unpacked and all tucked up with a hot chocolate by 4pm. The property was so cosy, heating was on when we arrived and there was complimentary tea and coffee. Plenty of hot water and the place was clean and extremely well equipped, which given I was cooking a 3 course celebratory meal that weekend, was a bonus! Parking permit provided for parking at the property (or close by) Beds were comfortable so we enjoyed a good nights sleep. Wi-Fi signal excellent as was TV entertainment choice. Books to read and selection of DVDs. But the best thing has to be the proximity of the cottage to Windermere - literally on the doorstep. 1 min walk into the village with a fantastic choice of shops, pubs, bars and restaurants yet the cottage itself was quietly tucked away from the hustle and bustle- perfect! Easy access to Ambleside and Bowness and the lake itself just a few mins drive either way. Yes we can say we had an absolutely wonderful stay in beautiful surroundings in a lovely little cottage and we are pleased to announce that the lady did say âyesâ!!
