    “Possibly the best equipped self catering we have stayed at.”

    So many thoughtful additions. Everything we could possibly need. Excellent and the hot tub very popular! Sarah was very helpful in advance with info on local eateries and things to do not to mention being greeted with some gingerbread! Not sure if that was just good timing on our arrival but lovely! It was a long weekend break to celebrate our golden wedding Easter Saturday and we prebooked a family run Italian in Bowness for the evening which was perfect. Party of 8 ranging from 17 to 72.

    So many thoughtful additions. Everything we could possibly need. Excellent and the hot tub very popular! Sarah was very helpful in advance with info on local eateries and things to do not to mention being greeted with some gingerbread! Not sure if that was just good timing on our arrival but lovely! It was a long weekend break to celebrate our golden wedding Easter Saturday and we prebooked a family run Italian in Bowness for the evening which was perfect. Party of 8 ranging from 17 to 72. All very impressed with accommodation. Hot tub extremely popular! Lovely bonus. Ideally we would have liked an earlier check in time than 5 pm but we planned around it. We had decided to do trip into Coniston on route to see Bluebird but we received a message from Sarah just before to say we'd be ok from 1 pm which worked perfectly. We decided to drop our things off on way then go to Coniston. The accommodation was so lovely we forgot we'd planned Coniston! Suddenly remembered and jumped car arriving at 4 pm to catch last hour which was fine. The younger element of party were arriving in evening after work (aiming straight for hot tub!).... During our stay we did a boat ride to Ambleside, a good explore around Bowness and a walk into Windermere and up to Orrel Head. We did walk everywhere locally and distances given all good, however it is the Lakes and accommodation a good "stroll" uphill but well worth the effort. It is quite a strenuous walk but we were all fine although dare I say the elders coped rather better than the younger element in the group! A really lovely stay. Thank you!

Woodland Cottages

A group of seven cottages refurbished to a high standard and located just a mile away from the lakeside town of Bowness-on-Windermere. Six acres of stunning woodland surround these delightful cottages, creating a little hideaway from the outside world, yet with easy access to the attractions and sights of the Lake District National Park. There are six five bedroom cottages and one four bedroom all offering flexible bedroom arrangements with some of the properties featuring zip/link beds. All the cottages have been thoughtfully refurbished with quality and comfort in mind. Open plan living areas create social hubs for spending time with your loved ones and the woodburning stoves create a homely atmosphere at all times of the year. Not only that but all Woodland Cottages come with a fantastic hot tub allowing you to soak up your surroundings in the most relaxing way! Just a short stroll down the road is the lakeside town of Bowness complete with a variety of bars, restaurants and quaint shops. Take a cruise along Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake and admire the spectacular backdrop of the surrounding mountains. Golfers are in for a treat as the challenging Windermere Golf Club is next door to these cottages where the views are a perfect tonic for the odd wayward shot! The Lake District is of course renowned for walking and hiking and Woodland Cottages is ideally placed for exploring Brant Fell, Scafell Pike and the Crinkle Crags. There are routes to suit all abilities and views that will linger long in the memory. Whether you are up for an adventure or a relaxing getaway, Woodland Cottages is the perfect choice at any time of the year.
