Weekend away
Extremely clean and very well equipped. Highly recommend this property especially for a family group. The only problem is parking facilities especially on a busy weekend. Ideally located right in the centre of Windermere.

Extremely comfortable stay in lovely Santon Cottage
Lovely cottage in a great location with fabulous hosts. Cottage is spotless and so well looked after, really feels like home from home with everything you could possibly need. Warm and welcoming after days out walking. Beds so comfortable and lovely to relax in the front room in the evening. Children absolutely loved the basement room which is warm and nicely converted into a lovely twin room and both of the bedrooms upstairs are a great size for a cottage setting! Stone’s throw away from a lovely high street of nice bars, restaurants and shops. Couldn’t have asked for more for our long Easter weekend in the Lakes - thank you so much 🙏

comfortable stay
Sparklingly clean, cute cottage, lovely location tucked down a quiet little lane, close to station (though we were there for the lakes comic festival so didn't explore immediate area) . Comfy beds, lots of space. If you're very sensitive to smell, you might find the basement, twin bedroom a teeny little bit damp smelling, but that really was our only tiny quibble, and it only bothered one or two out of the 5 of us, so everyone found a bedroom to be happy in. I slept in the bunk and was very comfortable as it is quite wide and suitable for adults. A very spacious, clean, beautifully decorated and warm cottage. Highly recommend it.
