The cottage was absolutely lovely and in a fabulous location 1 min from the centre of Windemere village and a 20 min walk (or short bus ride) into Bowness. The cottage itself was fabulous, clean as a pin and very well equipped, small touches like the night light in the hall and the bathroom were appreciated and the Bath House hand wash and diffuserRead mores were a lovely touch. The cottage was very spacious too and really nicely finished. A real home from home, would highly recommend. Hide

Lazy Bay is a wonderfully equipped property, with an ideal location in the heart of Windermere. It is perfect for a couple or family alike - don't let the small frontage deceive you!! The property's proportions are large! We are a family of 4 with 2 children under 3. The downstairs open plan layout is great, a lovely dining area and superbly equippRead moreed kitchen. There wasn't anything we needed that wasn't available - even a lovely coffee machine for a little extra luxury in the mornings. It has great sized bedrooms with ample room for cots/cribs for the children and the bathroom is HUGE. The property is superbly decorated, putting our own home to shame. Don't underestimate the benefit of the parking permit either, this enables free parking not only in the carpark opposite, but for many other carparks across Cumbria. We didn't pay a penny for paring our entire stay! We loved it here and will be back again! Hide

Really comfortable, clean cottage with lovely decor in a perfect location, close to local walks but also really close to the town with lovely shops pubs and restaurants. The parking was really easy, opposite the cottage and always plenty of spaces. The parking permit was a great bonus. Will definitely recommend and return.
