“Overall we had a great stay at Wastwater.”

The cottage was of a high standard, was comfortable and had everything we needed. It also had great views over to the fells. Furthermore, transport links were ideal. The only negative comments that we have was that the external refuse had not been collected so that the bins were full. We did report this via the helpline number. The ice box in the fridge also needed defrsoting.

“The cottage it's self was wonderfully exactly as described however it was obvious that the bins had not been emptied for some time ( we were there for 7 days).”

All of them were full to overflowing with waste food surrounding the area wasps and flies everywhere and evidence of animals or birds

“The only fault I found with the property is the step lights from car park up to property were not working.”

Very dark that you could not see the steps. All in all it is a lovely place and especially where its situated. We will come again.

“We spent a lovely week staying in Wastwater.”

It was perfect for us and had everything we needed. The location is good, it is quiet and there are lovely views from the window upstairs. It is a 15-20 minute walk into Bowness or Windermere. The location is also convenient for visiting other lakes. We had a week of good weather which made the Lake District even more beautiful!

“It’s a nice cottage, the 2 seater and the 1 seater chair are very uncomfortable to sit on and need replacing and the Shower needs needs repair (a new lead and maybe the riser replacing) it wouldn’t stay in the fixture.”

It was an ideal property for the 2 of us and in a good location. The parking is very difficult and probably impossible for 2 cars to park, there’s not enough room to turn your car to get into position to park it and if you did it would be difficult to get out as you are very close to the stone pillars. We parked on the road. Would I return, Yes I would if these is issues are addressed. But we did enjoy are holiday.

“Cottage was really lovely, only 10 minute walk into town so really central.”

Very clean and the kitchen was amazing not that I used it much, only for breakfast. Sitting room was great and really nice that a throw was provides if you felt a bit chilly. Bed was really comfortable. Shower was quite small, if you were a large person it would be a bit of a squeeze.

“The property was clean and comfortable ,we enjoyed our stay at Wastwater only thing we would criticise is the parking it would be ok for one but not suitable for two properties.”

- Frank, June 2022

We're glad you enjoyed your stay! We are currently working on widening our parking spaces to make it easier for two cars to fit. We hope to see you soon! Property Owner

“Lovely well designed cottage and very comfortable bed and excellent kitchen facilities.”

Very nice en-suite bathroom and good water supply. Well situated accessing local amenities. A little disappointed that the advertised view from upstairs lounge was obscured by unnecessarily tall trees. It was also unfortunate the heating didn’t work (apparently it was operated by a boiler in the adjoining property which was undergoing renovation so nothing could be done about this) as the first couple of days were very cold. Draughtproofing the front door would make an enormous difference to the warmth of the downstairs bedroom. Parking space would be quite difficult if you take a large car. Overall a very pleasant accommodation.

- Sally, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback. Hopefully the heaters provided made sure that the rooms stayed warm whilst the boiler was being worked on. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon! Property Owner

Head up the stairs from the parking space, through the enclosed garden to the front door.

Continue inside to discover the first bedroom, a wonderfully laid-out space with a king-size bed to cuddle up in at the end of the day, as well as access to an en-suite shower room which enjoys fabulous extras of contemporary, marble tiling and a heated towel rail.

Ascend the stairs to reach the inviting open-plan living area, which has a well-equipped kitchen with an electric oven and stove, as well as the conveniences of a washing machine and a coffee maker.

After preparing delectable dishes in the kitchen, serve them as a romantic dinner for two at the adjacent dining table.

After a great meal, relax on the sofa and take in the views of Windermere's rooftops before turning on the TV to watch a movie.

During the summertime, why not sit outside in the gravelled garden and share a cold beverage together?

Spend some time discovering everything Windermere has to offer, such as its magnificent lake with a variety of activities, treks up Queen Adelaide's Hill and Orrest Head, and access to an illustrious golf club!

For further outdoor thrills, head to Troutbeck Bridge, where you'll find the adventurous Treetop experience, the beautiful Holehird Gardens, and access to the great attraction of Brockhole on Windermere.
