Confirmed Guest
The house is well situated with a 10 minute walk to Windermere. It’s in a very quiet cul de sac. The views out the back are great and the back garden is lovely to wander around. We felt very comfortable during our stay and had some great days out. The house is well equipped with all the cooking utensils you would need. Our only complaint is the attention to details with regarding some of the furnishings. It would benefit from a kitchen blind/bathroom blind. Also some thick curtains to separate the living room/conservatory in winter.

Hands down the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. We come to the Lakes every year and Lake View was by far the best accommodation we’ve had. The property is so lovely, clean and well equipped and we had the most wonderful week as a family of 4, with our toddler and newborn (and two dogs). We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it or return ourselves. Thank you Lake View!
