    “We just had a short break at Acorn Cottage with my husband and two children, and it did not disappoint.”

    The cottage had everything we needed for our stay and is perfectly located in the lovely town of Bowness, right in the heart of shops, cafes, restaurants, and scenic walks. There’s truly something for everyone. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac, we hardly heard any traffic from the main road. All the bedrooms were comfortable and clean, with very comfy beds and soft, thick duvets. The bathrooms featured great showers and lovely-smelling hand soap. The kitchen was well-equipped, complete with tea, a coffee machine with supplied pods, sugar, and milk. We were pleasantly surprised by a lovely welcome hamper upon arrival. The washing machine, washing tablets, and heated airer were fantastic additions for our muddy clothes after walks and riding. We especially loved the cozy front room with the log burner, making it the perfect way to end our days. I would 100% recommend Acorn Cottage and would definitely return in the future.
