Reviews
This was our first time staying in a flat/cottage as we are used to staying in 4 or 5 star hotels during our holidays. We enjoyed every bit of our stay . The flat is very modern, super comfortable and the owner thought of smallest of things one could need e.g extra batteries, good quality utensils etc and it's a very neat and clean property. In short, the accommodation you would like to come back to after an exhausting day. Also, the owner was prompt in replying to my queries. Will definitely recommend it and I would book again if planning activities around windermere.
