Spacious, immaculately clean and well maintained. Lots of nice little touches too….hand wash, shower gel and shampoo in all the bathrooms. Washing up liquid, dishwater tablets, coffee, tea, sugar and hot chocolate all provided. We will definitely be coming back

“We enjoyed 4 nights at Holly Wood and would definately recommend the property as a base for a large family/group of friends for it’s location and for it’s space and comfort.”

We found the house in a very clean condition, all the radiators lovely and warm and the wine and flowers left on the dining table added to the relaxing ambience of the property. Ian, the owner called me whilst on route to the property to let me know his contact details if needed and when we did contact him to ask if we could borrow some kitchen scales he turned up shortly after with a brand new set. All the bedrooms have their own en-suite shower/bath with amazing water pressure, luxury toiletries were supplied together with large fluffy towels. We would definately recommend Holly Wood as a home from home and look forward to staying here again.

“Absolutely perfect for our group of 6 with all rooms being en-suite.”

Location of property was A+ with ample street parking plus the allocated parking at the rear if the property. My only negative would be that the pots and pans need upgrading. That aside we all felt really comfortable and would not hesitate to book again.

“The property is excellent, exactly what is advertised, lovely and clean, with some really nice extra touches, such as tea and coffee, milk in the fridge and a nice bottle of wine on the table.”

The location is superb, just a short stroll to the centre of Windermere. Would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

“Group of friends - we had a great weekend with Hollywood as a base.”

House is large and spacious with everything you need. Shops and bars are a short walk away. Dedicated parking for 3 cars but had no issue with free on street parking for additional vehicles. Ian our host was excellent from a communications perspective. Will definitely look to use again for a Windermere stay

“Perfect holiday home in a really good location.”

A 2 minute walk from the shops, restaurants etc in Windermere and a 15 min walk down to the lake. The house was ideal. Nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. It has 5 large double rooms all with their own en-suite. Really big dining room table to sit all 10 of us. A lovely sociable space. Big kitchen with American style fridge and separate freezer which was perfect. Its an ex b&b so was really spacious. The outside space was small but ideal. We enjoyed alfresco drinks in the sun. There is only seating for 4 though so bring your own camping chairs! The only downside was there needed to be extra seating in living room and the kitchen isn’t as well stocked as described. Only 1 cup, 1 glass, 1 plate etc per person which was a bit inconvenient but nothing more. If you want to cook a meal you might need couple more pots and pans. It was a bit sparse. We had couple minor problems and the owner text back immediately to resolve, We were really impressed with the speed and it was reassuring. We would Definitely return and would recommend this property.

“Lovely house in a great location.”

Plenty of space for our group - didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. The lounge and dining area were a great area for everyone to come together. They we’re very clean and modern. Very comfortable and the bottle of wine was a lovely touch. Only areas that could possibly be improved on would be having a few more cleaning supplies in the kitchen and replacing the light in one of the bathrooms on the top floor as it didn’t work. All in all it was the perfect base for our group weekend alway!

The property

Hollywood is a contemporary, end-terrace, Victorian guesthouse located in Windermere, Cumbria. Resting in the heart of the Lake District National Park, Hollywood is an ideal base for couples or a large family wishing to explore the area around Lake Windermere. Before entering the wonderful porch area of your new home-away-from-home, park in one of the three allocated parking places. After entering, be greeted by a magnificent sitting room with velvet blue sofas beckoning you to relax in front of the flatscreen TV. After relaxing for a while, continue to the excellent kitchen/diner, which features all of the amenities an aspiring chef might need, including an outstanding range cooker and a spacious fridge. After the appointed chef has prepared a delectable meal, it can be savoured at the dining table, which seats the entire family and also has views of another TV; ideal for some post-dinner relaxation! On the first floor, there are four beautifully decorated bedrooms, including a king-size that has its own bathroom, a double, a zip/linked super-king-size, and a single, all of which have their own en-suite shower room, ideal for those after a bit of privacy in the evenings, and all of which have their own TV, ideal for a bit of late-night entertainment! Climb the stairs once more to find two more wonderful doubles, each with an en-suite shower room and a TV. All of the rooms come with complimentary toiletries, Egyptian cotton linen, hair dryers, as well as a handy radio alarm clock for those who wish to get up early and explore the area. The property additionally has its own outdoor spaces, with the first being a front enclosed garden where you can sit out in the summertime with a cold beverage, and the second being a back garden with astro-turf and its own patio area where you can settle down with a good book or sip a cup of morning coffee before wandering out. Visit the town's family-run Sugar & Spice Café & Bistro for a hearty breakfast or Hooked for some locally caught seafood for lunch. You'll have plenty of options for dining out, including a wide range of pubs, restaurants, and cafés, as well as grocery stores where you can stock up on supplies to prepare meals in the privacy of Hollywood. The lake is a great setting for outdoor enthusiasts, as it offers a wide range of watersports such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and canoeing. Walking and hiking enthusiasts will not want to miss the views from Queen Adelaide's Hill and Orrest Head, which gaze out over the Landale Pikes. At The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, you may discover more about the beloved author and her beloved characters. The interesting ruins of a Roman fort dating back to the second century can be explored in Ambleside, as can Stock Ghyll Force, a 70-foot waterfall. Continue on to Grasmere, where you can visit the man-made Rydal Cave or William Wordsworth's former residence. Whisk your loved ones for a getaway in style with a stay at Hollywood.
