“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.

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.

“Instructions for refuse and recycling could be clearer.”

2 green bins on drive not numbered and one disappeared before we left. A clock would be useful upstairs. Generally a very comfortable cottage in a quiet location yet close to all local amenities, especially for people without their own transport. Would stay again.

- Brian, September 2024

Ben September 2024

“We had a fantastic time!”

Hosts had excellent communication both in advance and during our holiday. The house is a great size, very clean and comes very well equipped. We stayed as a group of 4 adults, 2 babies and 2 small dogs. The house is plenty big enough and perfect for families (as well as friends). So many great touches from children's cutlery, dog treats, delicious coffee pods and such nice hand soap we even went out and brought it before we came home. We would highly recommend and will definitely be returning. A massive thank you again for being so accommodating with our 2 small babies.

“We had a lovely stay at Acorn Cottage.”

Close to all the amenities of Bowness and Windermere. The cottage had everything we needed, was very comfortable and well equipped. The information provided regarding various walks was very helpful. We would definitely stay here again and thoroughly recommend it.

“We really enjoyed our stay at acorn cottage, the accommodation is in a perfect location for exploring Bowness and Windemere.”

The off street parking is really handy. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated and had the perfect sleeping arrangements for us. Really well finished aswell. Would definitely recommend and will consider staying here again next time we visit the Lake District.

“A delightful cottage in a superb location.”

Walking distance to the many amenities of Bowness including bars, restaurants, shops , art galleries , cinema, lakeside and boat trips and Beatrix Potter attraction Short drive or slightly longer drive into Windermere. The cottage is set back from the main road and sitting out in the evening you would not know you were close to the centre of Bowness. I usually take supplies tea, coffee, cooking oil, hand soap , loo roll with me but need not have as all thoughtfully provided Everything you would need during your stay is provided Large bedroom on 3rd floor with luxurious shower room Double bedroom offered plenty of room. My only comment would be the twin is only suitable for young children or one older child/adult as there is limited room between beds Everything you would possibly need was provided including Netflix access Cottage was very clean and well maintained Would recommend and would stay again Only suggestions for future consideration would be a radio/alexa and a bbq

- Julia, June 2024

Thank you for your very detailed, helpful and positive review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in Acorn Cottage. Following on from your comments about the twin room, the twin beds have been replaced with new ones and we have put in a new chest of drawers for storage in that room. We feel confident now that this room would comfortably accommodate two adults. We have also put a Bluetooth speaker in the property. We hope to see you back again. Property Owner
