    “The cottage was in a perfect location right in the centre of Windermere which has a lovely variety of places to eat, drink and shop.”

    There are lovely walks on the doorstep and the bus service is brilliant. We didn’t use the car at all for 4 days as we could easily get to Ambleside and Grasmere on the bus. The cottage was warm given the weather during our stay was very wet. The kitchen was well equipped and clean but let down by the fridge door which was covered in smears possibly due to being a matt black door.

    There are lovely walks on the doorstep and the bus service is brilliant. We didn’t use the car at all for 4 days as we could easily get to Ambleside and Grasmere on the bus. The cottage was warm given the weather during our stay was very wet. The kitchen was well equipped and clean but let down by the fridge door which was covered in smears possibly due to being a matt black door. The living area was ok but felt a little ‘tired’ as did the entrance hall. The first floor bedroom was clean, comfortable and pleasantly furnished. Little things let the accommodation down and these can be easily remedied. There was no toilet roll in the two first floor bathrooms. This created a bad first impression that was hard to shake off. When you first arrive the first thing most people do after a long journey is pop to the loo! We realised that this was not an oversight as we saw a previous review. The living room TV was not connected to the internet so extra channels and streaming were not available. It did make us laugh that there was an ice bucket and two glasses laid out on the bistro table. Probably best not to bother if there is no wine

    Hi Helen My name is Jingwen and I am the owner of Nutkin Cottage. I want to thank you for sharing the feedback. I only recently took over Nutkin Cottage and therefore appreciate any suggestion that could help improve the service. My apologies for the toilet roll arrangement. They should have been provided. And I will speak with the house keeping team to ensure this won’t happen again. In terms of the internet connection for living room TV. I will ask the maintenance team look into it. We noticed that sometimes the armchair next to it might block the signal. However, I am sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. If there is any other area with Nutkin Cottage that I could make improvement, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Thank you very much again for choosing Nutkin Cottage and sharing your feedback! Warm regards Jingwen Property Owner

The property

Nutkin Cottage is a traditional, terraced cottage resting in the heart of Windermere, Cumbria.

With amenities and attractions, a stone's throw away, this classic Lakeland cottage offers a family of six a lovely home-from-home with a private garden, high-quality amenities, and beautifully furnished living areas.

All rooms are finished to a high-quality standard, making this a wonderful retreat to the Lake District.

The living/dining room immediately welcomes you with a large, stylish dining table to host family dinners and celebrate special occasions.

Moving into the sitting area, two sumptuous armchairs and a sofa invite you to settle down by the warmth of the characterful open fire, whilst a film of your choice plays on the Smart TV.

Just next door is the kitchen, finished to a high standard with an electric oven, gas hob, washing machine and dishwasher; savour breakfast for two at the bistro seating, or perhaps dine outside in your private garden!

This multi-level space is a secluded spot to enjoy a glass of bubbly and hideaway in the cushioned alcove with a good book.

After a busy day exploring the Lakes, head to the first floor to freshen up in the pristine bathroom with a bath, shower over, and heated towel rail for added comfort.

This floor also hosts a twin room with lovely blue tones and a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, whilst two lucky guests have the second floor to themselves.

This king-size bedroom has views across Windermere, a Smart TV for those lazy mornings, and an en-suite shower room.

Start your mornings with a cup of coffee in the front patio with outdoor seating, while you plan the day's agenda!

Shops, pubs and restaurants are all close by, such as San Pietro Windermere for Italian cuisine, Tapios for Spanish tapas, and The Pig for British staples and beer, while you can stock up at the local convenience store.

You'll have so much to see and do in this bustling town, such as cruises, including private cruises and sail and dine options, watersports on Lake Windermere, finding familiar faces at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, and hiking up to Orrest Head Viewpoint for panoramic views.

An abundance of sights and hikes scatter the lake including the National Trust's Wray Castle, and Hill Top, Beatrix Potter's country farmhouse, and walks to the top of Claife Heights.

Spend the day in Ambleside to wander the Roman Fort, spend a rainy day at Ambleside Climbing Wall, and visit the picturesque Stock Ghyll Force.

Discover local heritage in Grasmere for guided tours of William Wordsworth's former home, idyllic walks around the River Rothay, and the National Trust's Allan Bank and Grasmere.

Thrill seekers will find unforgettable hikes up Scafell Pike, Fairfield Peak, and The Old Man of Coniston, to name a few!

Or if you are simply in the mood for a relaxed break with nature encompassing you, you can enjoy some peaceful strolls and birdwatching in the surrounding area.

Nutkin Cottage is a wonderful base for exploring the Lake District.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
