I can’t pick out what we enjoyed most because every bit of it was fantastic. The location was perfect, within walking distance to Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere Village. The facilities in the cottage were amazing and it was cleaned to a very high standard.Mrs Hill

The property has everything in it that you could ever need for a self catering holiday and is an ideal location in the centre of The Lakes. There are plenty of places to keep the kids entertained, Greenlands Farm Village is worth a visit. We also had an amazing meal at Francines in Windermere.Mr Lyon
