We loved our stay at this cosy house, it was perfect for six adults and a dog! It was warm, clean and comfortable.

We had a lovely stay at Cunsey House. There was plenty of space for our group of 3 couples and 2 dogs. The house was clean, well equipped, comfortable and spacious. We liked the layout as it suited our group. Our only problem was a little issue with the logs when we arrived but it was quickly and politely dealt with by the cottage agents.

Amazing location, we have stayed in this beautiful house numerous times, it feels like a home from home. It is situated in a beautiful, quiet spot. The little touches that the owners leave to help out make a difference ie.

Location excellent. Quiet area. House very noisy. You can hear every movement from other holidaymakers through the floor above. Counteracts the quiet tranquil location. Conservatory leaked water through windows and down the wall. Had to mop up each time it rained (daily). Tumble dryer did not work. Very dusty. We were family of 5. No serving dishesRead more or serving spoons and only 2 teaspoons! Minor issues in the big scheme of world problems but for 1200 per week we have experienced much better. Hide

The cottage is on the East side of Windermere about a mile from the east shore side of the ferry.
