Guests say
Brookside Cottage in Windermere receives high praise for its cosy, warm atmosphere and beautiful decoration. Guests appreciate its cleanliness, convenient location, and well-equipped facilities. The garden with a brook is a highlight, adding to the property's charm. While most experiences are positive, there is a mention of a safety concern regarding the banister and difficulty accessing an attic room. Overall, the cottage is well-regarded as a special place for family celebrations and relaxing stays.
Guests consistently note the property's impeccable cleanliness, describing it as well-maintained and very clean. The attention to detail makes it feel like a home rather than a holiday let.
The cottage's location is frequently highlighted as excellent, with easy walking access to Windermere and Bowness. Its proximity to shops, pubs, and local attractions is greatly appreciated by guests.
The majority of guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. However, one review mentions discomfort due to the attic room's accessibility and bed quality, slightly lowering the score.
Facilities are generally praised for being well-equipped and perfect for a stay. However, there is a concern about the safety of the banister and the lack of detailed information on rubbish collection, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance and information provision.
While some guests mention receiving gifts such as wine and chocolates, these are not consistently referenced across the reviews. As such, it cannot be determined if such thoughtfulness is a standard practice, and guests should not expect these extras as a guarantee.

This cottage is lovely, stayed with family, great to walk into Windermere 5 mins turning left out of the door or Bowness around 15/20 min stroll so you can leave the car. Parking on the street, we always found a place. Well equipped, good facilities & just loved the garden
