    “We enjoyed our stay at the lodge.”

    It was very clean, beds were super comfy, and the location was peaceful with quick access to Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere via car. The only negative was that the beds were kept as doubles when we previously requested them to be singles on the form. Other than that, I would highly recommend this beautiful place to anyone.

    Dear Amy, Thank you for your very generous comments about how much you enjoyed your stay in Yew Cottage. We regret that the double beds were not set up as twins for you, and send our sincere apologies for this oversight; it is unusual for our team to miss this detail, guest comfort and satisfaction are a top priority to us. If you choose to stay with us in future, our staff will be more than happy to resolve any issues, as soon as possible. We hope to see you again.Warm regards, The Oaks team. Property Owner

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.
