Perfect little cottage
We stayed here over the August Bank Holiday (4 adults) and had a lovely time. The cottage was conveniently located in a side street in the centre of Windermere with plenty of free parking nearby. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could need and nearby there were shops pubs and restaurants.

Perfect little cottage for a Lakes stay
What a wonderful holiday cottage! Perfectly located just a few minutes from Windermere station and the supermarket, with bus links to Ambleside, Bowness, Kendal, Grasmere and Keswick, this is a great place to stay for easy access to lots of beautiful locations and all that the local area has to offer. The cottage is very clean and well-equipped, with everything we needed and more. Lovely comfy beds in all three rooms, plenty of bedding and spares, heating, towels and so on. The kitchen is so well stocked with crockery, cutlery, drinkware and extra, plus there's a fridge freezer, huge oven/stove, dishwasher and big table for everyone to eat at. There's a washer drier in the shed and plenty of places to dry clothes. The hosts were very quick to respond and very friendly, and overall it was just the perfect experience! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Ideal location for touring!
We were tucked behind a wonderful restaurant in a quiet spot yet only two minutes from buses, trains, tourist information and Mountain Goat tours. Just ideal for us! Good heat, hot water, all appliances worked well, execptionally clean and well-appointed. Our hosts were quick to respond to emails and check-in was a breeze. Would recommend to all!

Beautiful Home in a Perfect Location
This is a lovely clean and comfortable home. It is ideally suited in the heart of Windemere within walking distance of the railway/bus station and close to shops and attractions on the lake. There are walking trails close by and at least two National Trust properties in close proximity. Parking is limited, but a stay without a car hire is possible because transportation links are close by and accessible. The house itself is lovely and characterful. It was clean and comfortable. The hosts made us feel very welcome. The host is responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Extremely comfortable stay in lovely Santon Cottage
Lovely cottage in a great location with fabulous hosts. Cottage is spotless and so well looked after, really feels like home from home with everything you could possibly need. Warm and welcoming after days out walking. Beds so comfortable and lovely to relax in the front room in the evening. Children absolutely loved the basement room which is warm and nicely converted into a lovely twin room and both of the bedrooms upstairs are a great size for a cottage setting! Stone’s throw away from a lovely high street of nice bars, restaurants and shops. Couldn’t have asked for more for our long Easter weekend in the Lakes - thank you so much 🙏

comfortable stay
Sparklingly clean, cute cottage, lovely location tucked down a quiet little lane, close to station (though we were there for the lakes comic festival so didn't explore immediate area) . Comfy beds, lots of space. If you're very sensitive to smell, you might find the basement, twin bedroom a teeny little bit damp smelling, but that really was our only tiny quibble, and it only bothered one or two out of the 5 of us, so everyone found a bedroom to be happy in. I slept in the bunk and was very comfortable as it is quite wide and suitable for adults. A very spacious, clean, beautifully decorated and warm cottage. Highly recommend it.
