I chose the property because it had said a parking permit will be provided. We found out only after I got in touch with Cottages.com that was not happening anymore on the day we got there. We had to drive around for an hour looking for a park some distance away from the apartment then pay for 3 days parking. There wasn't any soap provided for the showers and each bathroom only had half a toilet roll provided. Little details like the provision of coffee sachets and sugar were lacking. The apartment was clean and spacious and in a good location.

Loved the cottage! However parking is a real problem and is not a very good start to your holiday. We wasted a lot of time trying to unload bags and then had the hassle of driving round trying to find a parking space anywhere near the property. Luckily we walked everywhere after that but if using the car for the holyday itself, that would have been a big issue. Important-there was NO parking permit as promised! But even if we had a permit there was no space for the car!! The cottage is really lovely and great for visiting the area-would definitely go again, if parking sorted.

Everything was great

The location of our rental afforded us an acceptable walk to the lake, albeit it, the walk is uphill coming back. We were also close enough (1 mile) to walk to the train station when we departed. That walk is partly flat and hilly. The home was exactly as we expected it, the pictures provide an accurate representation of the unit. For those traveling from the U.S., keep in mind that Air Con is not typical in these homes so important to open windows in the early evening to let the heat of the home escape & let the cooler evening air circulate during summer. The contactless entry was smooth. The key was in the key box when we arrived, the home was clean and ready for our arrival. During peak holiday times, taxis are hard to come by so book days in advance if you need to be driven. Water pressure is no issue if people take one shower at a time. For a Windermere rental, this is not unusual and not unexpected so it was of no issue for us. Thank you to the owner for sharing his/her home.

Property is in a great location in Bowness, has everything needed for a short stay.

Great property. Done out to a high standard. Comfy and homely with modern decor. Fab location with lots of places to eat and drink on the doorstep. Would definitely go back if visiting Bowness.

We really enjoyed our stay at Club Cottage. It was clean, really spacious and well equipped. Great location too, would highly recommend to anyone.
