    “Great location, very picturesque and quiet.”

    Good size comfortable house. It needs a proper deep clean, unwashed cutlery, sticky hob, TV remote control was filthy. We left the house much cleaner than we found it. Happy with the price but we wouldn't return unless we could be assured the house had been thoroughly cleaned. Generic descriptions of property were misleading. We thought that it had a wood burner and an external EV charging point. We couldn't find either, although the adjacent cottage had a wood burner. The new front door lock ...

    Good size comfortable house. It needs a proper deep clean, unwashed cutlery, sticky hob, TV remote control was filthy. We left the house much cleaner than we found it. Happy with the price but we wouldn't return unless we could be assured the house had been thoroughly cleaned. Generic descriptions of property were misleading. We thought that it had a wood burner and an external EV charging point. We couldn't find either, although the adjacent cottage had a wood burner. The new front door lock was problematic and requires resetting. It took several attempts by others in our group to open the lock from the inside of the house which could be a safety hazard in the event of an emergency. The hot water system cut out on 2 separate occasions and required rebooting and we were relieved that your responsive and helpful customer support lady was available to take my call and instruct us on how to do this. Apparently you know of this issue and it's surprising it hasn't been rectified. I trust you find these comments helpful.

    - Rodney, December 2024

    Whilst pleased with the overall comments about Winster Fields, I am very disappointed that the guests found cleaning deficiencies. This is inexcusable and I have made the cleaning contractor aware of my disappointment and concern. I have specifically discussed the cleaning issue with the contractor, the cleaner in question has, I understand, apologised profusely for not dealing with the issues the guests experienced. The contractor is well aware of my and guests’ concerns. Please accept my apologies. The property will be fully redecorated during the first 2 weeks of February 2025 to be followed by the deepest of deep cleans. There is no reference in the published description of Winster Fields to it having either a wood burning stove or an EV charging point. The lock has been checked and I have had maintenance carried out on it and it has now been fully resolved. I have instructed the heating engineer to get to the bottom of the intermittent cut out issue with the boiler. Property Owner

The property

Windermere 5 miles.

A superb, semi-detached barn conversion set in a quiet, rural location, close to Windermere in the heart of the Lake District National Park.

Luxuriously appointed throughout, this immaculate cottage near Windermere provides excellent accommodation, and with three bedrooms set over three floors, it's ideal for families looking for a quiet retreat from which to discover the beauty of the Lake District.

This charming Windermere cottage benefits from a spacious open plan living area, fitted with a superb kitchen and opening out to a private patio and shared lawns, where the views of the surrounding countryside are a delight.

Greeted by a welcome back equipped with tea, coffee and biscuits.

Settle here with friends for a summer's alfresco meal and discuss your holiday plans, and with the area being home to an abundance of wildlife, you will be sure to spot some of the native deer and red squirrel here or whilst on one of the many walks from the doorstep of this Lakes cottage.

Stroll past the giant redwood tree, which sits proudly in the shared grounds, or head to one of the local pubs, which also serve excellent food.

This lovely Windermere cottage has the advantage of all the peace, quiet and beauty of being nestled away in glorious countryside, whilst the bustling village of Bowness is just ten minutes' drive away.

From Bowness, the Lakeland Steamers cruise up and down Lake Windermere to Ambleside and connect with the Haverthwaite Steam Railway at Lakeside.

There is also a car ferry crossing the lake, meaning you can easily explore the quaint Lakeland villages of Hawkshead, Far Sawrey and Satterthwaite, and find easy access to the stunning Grizedale Forest, where magical scenery for walks and cycling trips will be found.

A magnificent cottage in the enchanting Lake District, to be enjoyed at any time of the year.
