    “We had a lovely few days in the Giddy Goose.”

    The description of the property was accurate and really helpful. It was more spacious that I imagined, hard to reflect that in the photos, plenty of room for up to 7 of us. The garden was fairly small but more than adequate for our dog, and super useful. It was clean, well furnished, had everything we need. A great location, everything just a short walk away, but it was still incredibly quiet inside the property! It was hard to believe we were so central. The parking was tight, as mentioned ...

    The description of the property was accurate and really helpful. It was more spacious that I imagined, hard to reflect that in the photos, plenty of room for up to 7 of us. The garden was fairly small but more than adequate for our dog, and super useful. It was clean, well furnished, had everything we need. A great location, everything just a short walk away, but it was still incredibly quiet inside the property! It was hard to believe we were so central. The parking was tight, as mentioned previously, but we managed to get out of our space and return each day, no need to ask anyone to move their cars (as other visitors had found), just a bit of careful driving in and out and turning. Would definitely return if we wanted to stay in Windermere again.
