“What a great place to stay.”

We were really pleased with everything and the cottage was so lovely. It was a safe place to park the car, which is something we always have to consider. The facilities were amazing. We will definitely be back. Alyson & Robert Edgson

Carol October 2023

“Had a great holiday although the weather wasn't the best.”

The property was lovely just as described. The traffic on the main road wasn't noticeable in the daytime and not to intrusive at night. We have booked again which proves how much we enjoyed the holiday. Thanks again John and Nicole.

Robin September 2023

“We had a great break at lakeside again, as the weather was not at its best we had ample opportunity to find out if the cottage was as comfortable as we remembered, it was!”

, Nicole and John are great hosts being on hand but definitely not intrusive.

- Robin, September 2023
Gary September 2023

“Lovely property which had everything we needed.”

We were so lucky having the hottest week of the year that we made the most of the access to the lake, which was only about 250 metres down the drive. Would definitely recommend and will book again

- Gary, September 2023
Simon August 2023

“A lovely week- fantastic hosts, well- equipped, clean, spacious comfortable holiday home, private access to the water is a fantastic special feature.”

Would definitely recommend!

- Simon, August 2023
Alex July 2023

“A lovely comfortable Cottage with access to a private jetty.”

An ideal base for exploring the Lake District or just relaxing by the water's edge or for Kayaking or boating. Look forward to returning again soon.

- Alex, July 2023
Charlotte July 2023

“Had a lovely time at this cottage, very well equipped and looked after.”

I was wary in regard to reading the reviews about traffic noise, but this did not bother us after a time. Hostess was very friendly and accommodating. However, the bed was initially quite comfy, but after a few nights made you quite sore. Pillows could be softer too. There were some minor issues, cobwebs in areas and the fridge had a few spills not cleaned, the freezer could do with a defrost too, but understand this is not always possible whilst you have lets back to back. Having said all that this did not spoil our stay which was pleasant, made even better by the setting where the cottage is and the access to the private jetty. Would recommend.

- Charlotte, July 2023

We sorry if a few things were missed during the cleaning and we do endeavour ti make sure everything is up to standard. The bed is new , it has only been in the cottage for a month and is a Hypnos hospitality super king size bed also the pillows are a medium softness and new. Property Owner
Janet July 2023

“Outstanding location and on good bus routes if you dont want to drive everywhere and worry about parking.”

But not the high standard of other cottages we have stayed in. There were crumbs on the kitchen floor, in the food cupboard together with a half eaten packet of crisps. There was also food debris on the sofa which we had to brush off. Not good!

- Janet, July 2023

We apologise if the packet of crisps was overlooked. We endeavour to ensure that our cottages are as clean as possible Property Owner

S March 2023

“Accommodation was lovely, warm and welcoming.”

Fabulous location and wonderful views. Owner affable and also made us feel very welcome - thank you! Would need to check outdoor lights as one of ours wasn’t working and my wife has limited vision. This caused difficulties in the dark at this time of year. Otherwise very happy which is why I rated it 5 stars.

Martin January 2023

“The host were very friendly and hospital.”

We couldn't fault the cottage or the location. Our stay was very enjoyable ☺️

Sophie December 2022

“Fabulous cottage, fabulous location.”

All instructions are fantastic, welcome pack and information and excellent. Really cosy, warm, clean and although we didn’t have the weather - the jetty and lakeside space is so lovely. Parking fab, bed comfy, great water pressure and well stocked kitchen. Thank you!!

- Sophie, December 2022
Colin December 2022

“The cottage was ideally located for all amenities.”

However, we were disappointed to find it was nearer the busy road than the lakeside which was not the impression given by the photographs.

- Colin, December 2022
Stan November 2022

“The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped and there was a very appreciated welcome pack on arrival.”

We only met Nicole and she was very friendly and easy to talk to. We would highly recommend this cottage.

- Stan, November 2022
Monica November 2022

“We enjoyed a very relaxed and tranquil stay at this property.”

It was very clean and comfortable and well equipped. We arrived in the dark early evening and were pleasantly met with a warm cottage. There was very convenient parking which made the quality aspect of our stay. Overall the experience was quality and style and comfort. We definitely felt we as guests were prioritised. Personally I was in awe of the breathtaking beauty of the views from the private jetty. It was captivating and uplifting. We are longstanding Lakes visitors. We would definitely consider a return visit.

- Monica, November 2022
Alex September 2022

“Excellent comfortable accommodation in a great location.”

A good base for exploring the Lakes as well as having access to a private quay for either just chilling by the Waterside or, as in our case, launching our inflatable canoe. We look forward to visiting again.

- Alex, September 2022
Gareth July 2022

“What a fantastic little cottage in what can only be described as the perfect location to enjoy The Lake District and switch off on your stay.”

Run by the most welcoming and heart warming people you will meet, everything is in the cottage that you will need to enjoy your stay and the surprise of the idyllic private Jetty is something we both cherished and take away happy memories. We will defiantly be staying here again, sooner rather than later.

- Gareth, July 2022
Lisa May 2022

“The owners made us feel very welcome.”

The cottage is very comfortable and clean. Its location is perfect to tour the Lakes and has private lakeside frontage which was beautiful to sit and take in the fantastic views of Lake Windermere after a busy day exploring the area.

- Lisa, May 2022
Wayne May 2022

“We had a lovely week at Nicole and John’s cottage, they were very welcoming.”

A nice welcome pack was there for us on arrival and the cottage was like home from home, the grounds are beautiful. We would highly recommend and will definitely return.

- Wayne, May 2022
Lisa March 2022

“Lovely little cottage in a good location as its quite central to travel around.”

The private area near the lake was perfect to take a flask down and watch the sunset across the lake. There is some traffic noise from the road but it didn't bother us as we went March so didn't sit outside the cottage itself, we went down to the lake to sit. The cottage has everything you need for a perfect stay in the lakes.

- Lisa, March 2022
David October 2021

“Great location, unfortunately didn’t get to fully use the property as for ...”

Great location, unfortunately didn’t get to fully use the property as for yellow weather warnings for heavy rain and floods only stayed 4 nights out of 7 absolutely gutted as the Lakes are awesome

- David, October 2021

It was unfortunate that the weather was very bad during your stay and as such you were not able to make full use of our lake front facilities but these things can happen in autumn in the Lake District Property Owner
Helen October 2021

“Great break.”

Excellent base. For anyone not savvy with smart Tv ,streaming etc a dvd player would be great to use with great size tv in lounge. Owners of cottage so helpful. Would come back.

- Helen, October 2021
Tracey September 2021

“Lovely cottage and well equipped but the noise from the traffic was bad, the cottage was right next to the main (very busy) road.”

Was expecting peace and quiet.

- Tracey, September 2021
Lisa July 2021

“Cottage was beautiful and was amazing at the lakeside everything we needed to have baraque i would go back .”

- Lisa, July 2021
Pippi May 2021

“Liked how close it was to brockhole so there was activities for us as we can't drive.”

The views were nice and everything was nice and comfy great for a short stay

- Pippi, May 2021
Lynne April 2021

“The owners were on hand and very hospitable.”

The private jetty onto lake Windermere was delightful with beautiful views across the lake. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped, just right for two.

- Aaron, March 2020
Melvyn February 2020

“Really enjoyed our week in the Lakes at lakeside cottage in Ecclerigg.”

Weather not too bad for this time of the year, we had no problems with the accommodation everything that we had hoped for, close to Lake Windermere and also able to cruise on the lake via the Brockhole pier. Plenty of excellent cafes and restaurants in the area for Lunch, dinners and afternoon teas. Hope to visit soon.

- Melvyn, February 2020
Chris February 2020

“The cottage wasn't as close to the lake as the pictures showed which was disappointing.”

The sofas had seen better days. The bath filled up when having a shower. Pillows were hard. It was a lovely cottage but few things were disappointing which was a shame. It was also expensive which may stop us goining back in the summer to this cottage.

- Chris, February 2020
Keri January 2020

“The cottage was a home from home.”

It was always nice and warm when getting back after our cold walks. Nicely set up and very convenient for travelling around the lakes. We love the lakes and would highly recommend.

- Keri, January 2020
Kelly October 2019

“The house is in beautiful grounds and is an ideal little get away setting.”

Extremely relaxing location and in a very well situated location in between Windermere, Bowness-on-Windermere and Ambleside. During the summer months I should imagine the use of the lakeside decking area would be absolutely of benefit. It is difficult to imagine the distance of this decking from the house. When we first booked the description of the house led us to believe that this decking was situated directly to the front of the house. The lakeside decking is a short walk down what could be described as a driveway in beautiful surroundings. It is still extremely ideal and I highly recommend a stay. The house was very well equipped for cosy nights in during the autumn evenings.

- Kelly, October 2019
John September 2019

“New filling required on couch cushions .”

.. very soft through general usage ... otherwise all ok

- John, September 2019
David September 2019

“We loved the cottage, very friendly owners too and we thoroughly enjoyed the deck on the lake, we thought the cottage provided a perfect base for exploring the area and we would probably go there again.”

BUT, we feel that the cottage was not accurately portrayed, it's proximity to the busy A591 provided constant traffic noise, we can understand why this was not mentioned but feel this is disingenuous. ALSO the cottage description gives the impression that the lake side deck is adjacent to the cottage whereas it is a 5 min walk away. This was a surprise to us but in the end not a problem but it could be for some people, so again this amounts to miss-selling by omission.

- David, September 2019

Thank you very much for your recent feedback! We pride ourselves on advertising with transparency and as such I have updated the description to reflect your feedback. Property Owner

Richard July 2019

“We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at lakeside.”

What a treat to be so near to Windermere. We were made really welcome by the owners and their recommendations of where to visit, which we followed. They ensured our holiday ran smoothly. We could not have asked for better
