• "Fabulous weekend and engagement celebration for four at this lovely cottage."

  We travelled from Shropshire during storm Babet so had to leave earlier than planned to ensure a steady and safe drive up but aware that the cottage wasn’t accessible until 4pm. Contacted the owner to ask if it was possible to gain entry sooner rather than us having to hang around in atrocious weather and Richard was so helpful and understanding and called us back to say the property was ready at 2pm!! We were unpacked and all tucked up with a hot chocolate by 4pm. The property was so cosy, heating was on when we arrived and there was complimentary tea and coffee. Plenty of hot water and the place was clean and extremely well equipped, which given I was cooking a 3 course celebratory meal that weekend, was a bonus! Parking permit provided for parking at the property (or close by) Beds were comfortable so we enjoyed a good nights sleep. Wi-Fi signal excellent as was TV entertainment choice. Books to read and selection of DVDs. But the best thing has to be the proximity of the cottage to Windermere - literally on the doorstep. 1 min walk into the village with a fantastic choice of shops, pubs, bars and restaurants yet the cottage itself was quietly tucked away from the hustle and bustle- perfect! Easy access to Ambleside and Bowness and the lake itself just a few mins drive either way. Yes we can say we had an absolutely wonderful stay in beautiful surroundings in a lovely little cottage and we are pleased to announce that the lady did say “yes”!!

• "Really nice house."

  Well equipped and well located. We always managed to park as well which was great. If I had one small niggle it would be the towels too small. Apart from that it was lovely and we’d go back

• "Had a lovely week at Lamb Cottage."

  Had everything we needed. Great location for central Windermere, even out building to keep our boards. Gem of a cottage, will definitely be back. Thankyou :)

• "A beautiful, well equipped and ideally located property."

  We felt "at home" as soon as we arrived. Just a very short stroll from the main street with all its facilities, but noise from being central was virtually non existent. We hope we have the privilege of visiting Lamb Cottage again in the not too distant future.

  Also mattresses are more comfortable.

• "Had a lovely stay at Lamb Cottage."

  The cottage was clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen with everything we needed as well as washing up liquid/dishwasher tablets/cloths etc. Plenty of towels supplied in the bathroom. Small garden area but well kept with comfortable bistro table and chairs. Excellent location just 2 minutes walk from Windermere shopping/restaurants/pubs, plus a nice little park for walking the dog. Easy parking very close to the cottage. Will definitely rebook this cottage on our next visit to Windermere.

  Hi Sarah, It was lovely to meet you both. Thank you for your kind comments. Hope to see you back again soon. Thanks, Richard and Judith Property Owner

• "Lamb cottage is perfectly positioned for central Windermere and a short walk to Bowness."

  Even though you are really close to the highstreet it’s still nice and quiet. The house was perfect for us as a couple and our dog. The only challenge is parking, you are given a permit but as Windermere is so busy you will probably have to park a bit of a way from we’re you are staying. This wouldn’t stop us going back however. Lovely place

  Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed the property and all the area has to offer. Owner Relations Expert Property Owner

  We were out somewhere different every day and took in the magnificence of the Lake District.

• "Loved our stay at Lamb Cottage."

  Very clean and well equipped also thoughtfully furnished. The little garden/terrace was a lovely sun trap and enjoyed for morning coffee and afternoon tea. Perfect for those who do not use a car as really good public transport links nearby and close to good restaurants and shops.

• "The cottage is really clean and comfortable, and just on the doorstep of the many quirky gift shops and restaurants in Windermere."

  The kitchen is well equipped, and we loved the cosiness of the wood burner in the evenings. We were able to venture further north into the Lake District from this location, as the cottage is close to the bus routes. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay and we would definitely stay at Lamb Cottage again.

• "Lovely cosy cottage."

  Convenient base for walking and exploring the lake district. Lots of restaurants nearby but we mostly self catered in the well equipped kitchen. Even on August Bank Holiday weekend we always managed to find parking, sometimes a couple of streets away but no problem. 30 min walk to a lovely spot for swimming in the lake.

  It is cosy, clean, comfortable & well equipped and we’ll be more than happy staying there again. Next trip I will try & remember to take a torch, it is not easy reading the numbers on the key safe located in the outhouse.

• "The cottage was lovely, slightly larger than expected and well equipped."

  It would have helped to have more indication of equipment provided beforehand eg. hairdryer, basic kitchen cupboard ingredients etc. Double bed in main room is quite small and not very comfortable. Most people would expect a king size these days I think.

• "One of the few cottages that we would consider booking again, very pleased with it."

  One complaint, though: In this day and age, good broadband is a must, not a luxury. The broadband in the cottage suffered from some serious throttling in the evenings to the point where it was unusably slow. Other than that, no real complaints.

• "The cottage inside was exactly as described and perfectly fine but there are a few things that maybe need an update regarding the outside."

  There is roadside parking with a permit provided but this is not in the street where the cottage actually is as the street outside is fully double yellow lines ... the nearest space we could find was three streets away as all houses in the vicinity have access to the same permit parking. Also there is a courtyard area but this is also a thoroughfare for two other houses and so it isn’t actually secure for the pooch as we expected.

• "The property is ideally placed within Windermere center which warranted the price for 3 days stay."

  The facilities are good but give the price paid i would have expected a little more effort to the house keeping/presentation. In particularly, the laundry was not appropriate, towels and bedding smelt fusty and unwashed which was a shame as this influences the perception on other elements of the property. The water pressure isn't the best but coupled with a very poor shower head that sprays water everywhere except where you want it was a shame. A simple low cost fix that could improve anyone's stay at the property. All that said, we enjoyed our stay.

• "We were pleased with the cottage and especially its location in windermere."

  The cottage was lovely and had all the equipment we needed for our stay. Cleanliness was ok These are a few factors which would make it much better: Bed wasnt that comfortable and the style of the bed unsuitable for tall people ars bars at bottom get in the way. The bed was very squeaky when you moved. 2 chipped glasses and a broken mug were in the kitchen cupboard. A sock from the previous peoples stay behind cushion on sofa. Dirty glass in main bedroom from previous peoples stay. Lighting is awful....very dark. But on the whole it was a nice place to stay.

  The cottage was clean and comfortable and had all the amenities needed for a self catering break. Very well situated for easy access to all the shops, bars and restaurants in beautiful Windermere with a co-op and Sainsbury’s local a stones throw away. We found no difficulty in parking on the adjacent street Provided a great base for exploring the lakes and the cottage was very comfortable for crashing after a long day hiking. Highly recommend

• "The cottage was in a very central location to the town centre."

  A parking permit was supplied. The cottage appears clean on the surface, but closer inspection left a lot to be desired. A kitchen cupboard door was hanging off it’s hinges, leaving the cupboard unusable. This problem should have been addressed on cleaning and inspection before the arrival of guests. The back door was difficult to open and close and at some point, a thick layer of grease had been wiped onto the door edge in the hope of making it easier to close.

• "Cottage was superb."

  Nicely designed to be modern enough for people's needs without taking away the character of the cottage. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment and living room was comfortable and contained good supply of books and games. Find of the week was the Ordance Survey maps and up to date information leaflets in the kitchen unit which really helped us to plan days out. Cotrage was clean and well presented, 2 towels provided per person. Really enjoyed our week and would definitely look to book again as the location was central to Windermere and an easy walk to all shops, pubs and restaurants. Parking was never an issue as we always found a space.

• "The location was excellent and cottage was well equipped."

  However, the overall size of the main bedroom could easily support a 'king size' bed rather than the double bed provided. There was a strong smelling reed diffuser air freshner that was more of an irritant rather than a background neutraliser. We put it in the cupboard whilst we were in house. Apart from that we had a fantastic holiday.
