This home is extremely clean, well decorated and well equipped in every way. Hannah is very responsive and we had a fabulous stay. The view overlooking the garden while sitting in the hot tub is amazing. Highly recommend this beautiful home!
A wonderful stay with friends to celebrate my 50th! The cottage was beautiful, location stunning and information for guests excellent.We initially couldn’t find the lock box on arrival and shared our amusement of trying to find the fourth bedroom but couldn’t fault the attention to detail and how well equipped the cottage was.
We had a lovely time in this gorgeous cottage. We really felt at home and everything was at hand. We struggled a bit with the shower but soon worked it out. Even the sun shone which made it a perfect holiday. Thank you Hannah.

Thanks so much Penelope we hope you come to stay again!
Charming cottage in a peaceful location. Only a short drive to Newby Bridge and Bowness on Windermere. Step out into gorgeous rolling countryside, leafy lanes, secluded scenic walks. Lovely neighbours. A cosy pub within a one mile walk. It had everything we needed.
Lovely quiet location. Great communication with host. All amenities and well stocked kitchen for basics, though we did bring our own. Toiletries provided if you didnt bring your own. Great BBQ and hot tub area, and more than enough wood to heat the hot tub.Lovely pub about 10 mins walk away with a great food menu.Parking for 3 cars easily.
We stayed here on the way back from Cornwall and we only wished we had stayed longer. Not only dog friendly for our pooch but the cottage is just beautiful, lots of interesting fruit trees in the garden to keep our little one interested. Coming back and lighting the fire after a day on the fells was simply wonderful!

About the host

Why they chose this property
We purchased and renovated Woodside Cottage in August 2022 to create a perfect Lake District getaway that we could share with others. We adore the quiet, sublime nature of the Lake District and wanted to create a catered experience that would compliment all the Lakes has to offer!
Woodside Cottage was designed with comfort, cosiness and luxury in mind - with plenty of home comforts to make your stay as relaxing as possible. Unwind by a lovely fire in the living room, or dine on our open terrace overlooking the gardens and spectacular views of the fells ; enjoy a complimentary glass of prosecco in our wood-fired hot tub or set off on one of the many incredible hikes located right on the doorstep!
To us, guest experience is paramount so you’ll always have a friendly point of contact to hand with whatever you might need. We might be a little biased but we have worked hard to make sure your stay will be one you won’t forget!
