The house is perfectly located and only a 10 minute walk max to the centre of Windermere. Iâm Not sure if the description of the property adds that there is a large field and park at the front for the children. My little boy loved the park! There is a small cafe at the end of the lane (we didnât try here) that looks lovely and also a premier shop incase you need any further groceries. The house itself was very clean and you can see it was recently renovated. All amenities and board games are also new. They do provide tea, coffee, biscuits and cleaning products like washing up liquid and towels. Everything that was needed was provided for a short stay at this property which made our stay very easy. The bedrooms were small and cosy but enough and all that was needed. Bedding and towels were fresh and clean. We couldnât find an iron or board so unsure if these are provided. The only downfall to the property is the pressure of the water in the showers. It wasnât the best but was adequate Overall I would highly recommend here for a lovely stay in the lakes, we will for sure be back.
