    We were really pleased about the location of Wheatlands cottage. In the beautiful village Windermere, near by shops, restaurants and public transport, but with enough privacy and quietness. And at walk distance from the Lake and beautiful view points. We came from the Netherlands by train and travelled through the Lake District by bus. The bus stop near the cottage was perfect, with multiple busses stopping every hour! The cottage itself was really clean and all the facilities needed were there. The only thing we missed was an European power plug. Thanks a lot for the stay!
