2-Bedroom Cottage in Windermere Reviews

Lovely cottage just a five minute walk from town centre, not much can be done about it but parking outside cottage can be a challenge.

The Cottage was in a very wonderful location and it had gorgeous views along with very comfortable beds. I would definitely recommend anybody interested in staying in Ambleside to consider this property.

Robert

Lovely cosy cottage in a great location for exploring the lake districts attractions. Plenty of good pubs, restaurants and shops just a five min walk from cottage.

Philip

Really enjoyed our stay, very comfy, clean, and well stocked. Great location. Will hopefully be back in future!

We came to Bay Tree with friends and our dog and had a brilliant stay. Perfect base for walking and perfect location for a stroll into town. Cottage provided everything we needed for our stay.

Brilliant cottage, close to town with parking states 'small car' but our Vitara fitted in comfortably. Everything you need for a change. Being picky, a downstairs loo would have been ideal better recycling instructions and kitchen fridge is very noisy, but that really is being picky. Beds and pillows very comfortable. Really dog friendly having enclosed space at the back and side. Excellent. Would return.

Rachel

We had a lovely stay at 2-Bedroom Cottage in Windermere, ideal location for walks, the car didn't move for the whole week! Cottage was clean and well equipped. We didn't understand the extra fridge in the lounge as the kitchen fridge worked perfectly well.

A lovely cottage for our weekend break. Cosy, clean, comfortable and in an ideal position to walk from. Perfectly placed between Ambleside and Waterhead so that we could leave the car on the drive and walk or use the bus and boats.

Michelle

The accommodation was great, booking through sykeslakeloversdog friendly cottages was not. Two weeks prior to travel I wanted to extend my stay, looking online the cottage was available for the extension. The only way to contact the cottage company was AI on the website, who could not help so told me a representative would be in touch within 24 hours, no one contacted me in that time and the AI 'ended' the query. I went through the loop 4 times and eventually gave up and booked alternative accommodation through The Coppermines & Lakes Cottages who were really helpful and gave me stunning accommodation.

This was even better than I hoped it would be. I wanted a base fairly close to town which had an open fire. The cottage is so welcoming and has everything required. The heating was good , kitchen fully equipped though I did bring my own coffee machine with me rather than using the cafetire!. The beds were some of the most comfortable slept in, so despite long walks I had no stiffness in the mornings ! The shower can be a bit temperamental, which Im sure will get addressed soon. And the views from windows and front door are fantastic even in February. I would love to return again in a few months. My only suggestion would be for a welcoming pack to give information such as Wifi so that it wasnt necessary to try to read the hub code in the dim area where it is placed and where the heating thermostat was. I am not familiar with that type of system so it took me some time before I tried pushing a button on the wall, which then illuminated its settings and was easy to adjust. Parking was fine but definitely only for one ideally small car. I would definitely consider this property if staying in the Lakes again.

Kerstin

Lovely comfortable cottage in walking distance to the centre of Ambleside on the hill, great views and nice amount of space in cottage with all good amenities especially in kitchen. Only slight criticism is the bathroom is a little tired but all in good working order and clean. Parking space for a normal car but any larger and youll be fighting with the neighbours for space the estate cars next doors were too long so trying to get as close as possible Ambleside a great central place, busy an lots going on but in easy reach of many of the different lakes and passes.

Property was clean and very comfortable. Will recommend to family and friends. A big improvement from two years ago our ninth visit to this property. Great location.5

Neville

Stayed here last year and we loved it so much we came back again this year. Great cottage with everything you need and easy access to the town. Even better this year as the mattresses have obviously been renewed from last year and they were very comfortable. Also, we very much appreciated the bottle of Prosecco and snacks left for us on our arrival.

Andrea

Love the comfort of time spent at 2-Bedroom Cottage in Windermere . Waking up to the beautiful views each morning . Happy days spent here this week . Fabulous location to all Ambleside offers . Enjoyed walks from the cottage each day . A perfect week in a perfect cottage for me .

Michael

Lovely stay at 2-Bedroom Cottage in Windermere, very comfortable and ideal location, will definitely be back.

Absolutely beautiful cottage, home from home for Myself,Stew and Dennis our dog. Everything on our doorstep for our needs and Dennis's. Will definitely be returning.

Great location with a short stroll to the town and easy access to the Lake District. Parking was very easy and the facilities ensured great value for money.

This is a lovely cottage. Fully equipped for our stay. Our only concern was that the bathroom shower seemed to leak and affect the ceiling in the downstairs dining room on one occasion. It looked as though this had happened previously. We were very careful not to run the shower very long thereafter. Other than that we would quite happily stay there again.

Having now been to 2-Bedroom Cottage in Windermere a few times and loved it, there definitely is attention needed in places The back of kitchen glass double doors to outside aren't secure. A lock or bolt top and bottom would prevent them bring able to be pushed open. The little front garden though lovely has a very dangerous little step up, which is all falling to bits accident spot. This time we found a very toxic smell when oven was on. It continued each and every time and therefore didn't seem to be from any cleaning agent that may have been previously used. The kitchen door we had previously mentioned, it would be far more practical opening flat against sitting room wall than awkwardly into kitchen . Overall however, the property is really cosy and very well kitted out and in great location. With attention given to these few changes..... we would highly recommend it to anyone . Judy & Lech Jankowski. June 7th 21st 2024.

Gareth

The cottage was easy to find and there is parking available for 1 car at the front. Its only a short walk into town which was really convenient. The garden is fully enclosed with slate chippings, so it was ideal for letting our dog out. Only minor gripe was that the shower was a bit grubby under a plastic mat and the knack for getting the shower head to stay in position when showering was a challenge. Other than that it is a lovely cottage with a fantastic open fire which makes it feel really cosy.

Nice property in a good location which was clean, generally comfortable and well equipped. Despite the issues identified below we would still return. On an evening it was cold and we had problems getting the heating to work however overnight and on a morning it was too hot and there wasn't any instruction or information folder to help. This wasn't particularly comfortable after a full days walking in the rain. A complimentary load of fuel for the open fire would have helped. We were surprised to see there wasn't any antibacterial hand wash provided in the kitchen and bathroom which is normally provided in our experience.

Jonathan

This is a great property in an excellent location but it is 'tired' and in need of updating. e.g. Bathroom needs refurbishment, kitchen needs refurbishment and whole property needs to be rewired with additional sockets rather than the current dangerous extension leads and socket adapters.

We loved staying in 2-Bedroom Cottage in Windermere. It was comfortable and well equipped. The open fire was a big plus when it was snowing outsidevery Christmassy. It was a very quick walk into the shops and pubs in Ambleside and there were plenty of walks to do without driving anywhere. This was ideal as we were snowed in on the Saturday and reluctant to drive due to slippy roads on the Sunday. There is a nice little backside yard which is secure. Our dog did not escape. It was too cold to use the table and chairs outside, but I imagine it would be fantastic to sit there admiring the view. The only thing I would say is to be aware that the heatingboiler can turn itsself off. This happened a couple of times while we were there. But you can turn them back on by switching the separate switch on the wall under the sensor in the wardrobe of the main bedroom. It took us a while to figure this out, so it might be worth making that clear. Our friend stayed with us for a couple of nights and the owners very kindly allowed her to bring her dog. This is a one dog property, so we were delighted when they agreed to let Ivy come too. We had a fantastic visitone of the best cottages weve stayed in for comfort and location.

Christine

The cottage was cozy and comfortable. The location was great short walk to Ambleside and more strenuous walks around the Fells. We enjoyed the fire and the kitchen was well equipped except for dishwasher tablets only one supplied for 2 people and not enough cutlery to last more than 2 days, no paper towels and only 1 toilet rolls provided for 2 people for a week. Most of the cottage was very clean but the broom pan was full of dog fur and dirt that had not been tipped out. The drainage in the shower was poor and the fridge was freezing some veggies. If these issues were remedied it would be an ideal cottage. We had a problem with the hot water failing but Sykes were swift to respond and Dave was around within an hour to fix the boiler.

Caroline

We really enjoyed staying at 2-Bedroom Cottage in Windermere. It was clean, cosy and comfortable....just what we wanted. The cottage offered the best of both worlds being only a very short walk away from all the shops, restaurants and cafes etc in the town centre, yet still quite and peaceful with some beautiful hillside views.

Fridge door needs repair Kitchen blind needs repair All rest perfect Comfortable, cosy everything you need

Natasha

I really enjoyable break at 2-Bedroom Cottage in Windermere, perfect location and very comfortable base for a weekend hiking. Next time I would request a lighter tog duvet and instructions on how to turn the heating off. We will defiantly be back again in the future!

Debora

Outside light blew fuse when we switched it on . Left a note .wasn't a problem for us as we knew what to do however it may have caused a problem for someone else .

A lovely, comfortable cottage. Very close to the town which is only a few minutes walk. Well equipped kitchen. Very nice little gardens at front and back. Highly recommend!

Overall the property was very comfietable and cosy. Plus in general nicely furnished, but there are elements in the cottage that are becoming worn and tired, and could just do with a sort out. Some of the items compromise overall cleanliness. The cottage is in a great location, handy for town and with parking which is a massive plus in that area. One or two issues with plumbing which need to be addressed, otherwise will prove costly to the owner long term happy to provide further information.on this if someone would like to contact me?

The bathroom main light switch nonoperational, the extraction unit appears not to work correctly. We have left a note in the property.

The owners of 2-Bedroom Cottage in Windermere are to be highly commended it's a beautiful cottage. I myself have stayed in many Lakelovers properties over as many years, but I can honestly say 2-Bedroom Cottage in Windermere ticks all the boxes! My new Polish husband was extremely impressed! The attention to detail is very evident everywhere and the little personal touches are the icing on the cake. ....... we did notice one small thing that's asking to be asking to be changed the inside kitchen door would work alot better if it opened into the sitting room flat against wall rather than the problem of always walking into it the way it's facing at the moment!
