We would highly recommend this property. It's location, the walks, the peace, the views, beautiful and always so toasty and cozy inside (so glad the heating was on for us to control) and sunrise over the hill above the lake was beautiful. The cottage was so comfortable and clean, we were very happy, the owners thought of everything

Lovely peaceful venue; ideal for dog walking and just getting away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Some nice pubs within a few minutes travel in Far Sawrey and Hawkshead.

A nice cottage but there are some issues. The cottage can feel damp so needs frequent heating. We also found a few insects and a frog in the house. The house has been split into 2 rentals and people walking around in the flat above can be clearly heard which spoils the peace and quiet. The location is very quiet and peaceful with a 5 minute walk toRead more the lakeside and the magnificent spectacle of fighter jets literally passing overheard on occasion. Hide

A beautiful, really well equipped place to stay in a stunning location. Nearby Cuckoo Brow Inn serves excellent quality meals with lovely, friendly service. The whole family loved going out on the water with Kev at Lakes Wakesurf. Only downside is that it can get noisy with people from the flat above moving around.

Lovely clean very well equipped cottage we were in downstairs accommodation. Website photos do not do it justice -its very spacious Located close to Cunsey village so quiet area five minute walk to Windermere lake side (not the town) Guests need a car as walking the lanes would be, in my view, hazardous especially at night. But all main attractionsRead more are within 20-30 minutes drive. Top tips: Bring food for your stay especially if you don't want to drive (too far out for takeaway deliveries) Hide
