“Our 2nd time in this property, after staying in early December 2021.”
Perfectly located in Windermere, only a few minutes walk to a variety of shops. Car parking is at the side of the house, a narrow space for 2 cars, one behind the other - you will need to see the driver out when backing onto the road. Although there is roadside parking, during both our stays we never saw spaces there, as other residents in the street use the road, but this wasn't a problem.
The property is extremely well equipped, with an especially fabulous kitchen with everything you'd need - in fact I cooked Christmas Dinner & never needed more saucepans, dishes or utensils. A slow cooker, food processor, hand blender, sandwich toaster, nespresso machine, electric carving knife plus 2 dishwashers & the luxury of a wine fridge made this a fabulous kitchen for anyone who likes to cook. Coupled with an American style fridge freezer, there was plenty of space for Christmas goodies!
The property isn't suitable for anyone with mobility issues, steps into the kitchen and from snug to dining room. Also VERY steep narrow stairs to the top floor bedroom. However this was not a problem for us, although it was a challenge getting a large suitcase up to the top floor!
The beds are extremely comfortable, the bedlinen & towels excellent quality. There was plenty of hot water for showers & the whole property was warm & cosy.
We lit the log burner on Christmas & Boxing Day for some festive cheer (we brought logs, firelighters & kindling with us - but it is available locally, none are provided ) in truth we didn't need the fire for warmth, just atmosphere!
The property isn't decorated for Christmas, although there are a few festive items provided for you to use, if you so wish.
The only negative comment would be that nothing is provided in the form of a welcome pack, apart from some tea bags & a few coffee pods. Not even fresh milk for a cuppa on arrival! And given the cost of rental for Christmas it would have been a thoughtful gesture to provide this. I had a Tesco delivery booked shortly after arrival time, so we were fine & there is a Sainsburys Local a few minutes walk away.
We can also heartedly recommend Hooked, the seafood restaurant 2 mins walk away, so nice not to have to use the car!
This is a lovely property, which suits all our needs & we will definitely be back as we love the area.
