We enjoyed the impeccable and cosy cottage, well equipped and furnished during our 2 weeks stay. We ´particularly aprreciated thé welcoming presents (cake, jam and flowers) and the help given by the landlords. The location of the cottage is excellent as a starting point for hikes and discoveries the Lake District. We warmly recommend this experience.

Charming cottage in impeccable condition with modern amenities. It is well located, just a short walk to uptown. I highly recommend Applethwaite!

Good!

Wonderful cottage with every convenience. Very clean and nicely decorated and right in the heart of Windermere. The only issue was the parking which we knew about ahead of time. We were fortunate to always find free parking near the school. Loved the flowers and treats that were left by the hosts too. Would highly recommend a stay here and hope to be back. Lots of restaurants in the area if you are not making your own meals and Booths is across the street if you need groceries.

Great location for both Windermere and other locations in the Lakes with connections nearby for public transport. The cottage itself was lovely, with a large kitchen and very comfy bed! I'd recommend this cottage for a couple or small family who want a great base for exploring the Lake District

This property was very clean and we appreciated how well equipped it was for cooking meals. Very nice towels were provided and the beds were cozy and comfortable. The communication with the owner was excellent and there were clear instructions on how to use all of the appliances which was appreciated. The added touches of flowers and some milk and cake was unexpected. Our stay was pleasant and comfortable. The location is perfect to walk to everything in town including a co op. Our booked tours met at the train station just up the road which was perfect and there is a fabulous food store called Booths attached to the train station as another alternative.

This cottage was perfect! Easy access from train station and perfect home base for travel around on a well organized bus system. The cottage had all amenities and was super cozy. Thanks Andrea

Lovely few days in the cottage & the beautiful Lake District. Walking distance to all of Windermere's facilities. Everything you might need is provided in this lovely cottage with quality fixtures & it's spotless too! All of our questions (random though they were!) answered by Andrea immediately. Would love to stay again.

Great location, very clean,Andrea the host was very helpful and kind. Would highly recommend.

We loved this beautiful cottage. Just what we hoped for, and more. Everything seemed to be on our doorstep. Nice touches inside like the fresh flowers and cake. Would highly recommend

Beautifully presented, spotlessly clean, great location for shops and transport, quiet area, well equipped kitchen with all you could wish for!

This is a lovely cottage very central in Windermere. It is very clean and has all the amenities you could possibly need. We stayed there with our two small children and I would say the cottage is child friendly. The only thing to be aware of is that the staircase is a bit steep, so small children will need some help to make their way up and down. The communication with Andrea was quick, efficient and friendly. We would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful charming cottage with modern conveniences. Big kitchen, washing machine, spacious eating area. Cozy living room and very comfy beds. Quiet! Great location! Shops, restaurants, train, and grocery store minutes away. Off site parking easily available in a couple of areas. Overall excellent! Highly recommend!

Great for shopping and eateries and buses. Thought it was closer to Windermere ,the Lake. Would like to have met our host! Lot of traffic by the front door from other cottages. Kept leaving the gate open. The back patio cramped for more than 2 people. Next door restaurant emptied their glass recycle at 5.30 to 6 am!

Wonderful week at the cottage,absolutely spotless and comfortable,the only thing we found difficult was going up and down the stairs to the bathroom,as my sister and I are in our 70,s but we managed! It is in a great location for absolutely everything. Thanks again.

Applethwaite Cottage was very clean and cute and very centrally located near the train station in Windermere - central Lakes District . It was as advertised and the communication / check In with Andrea was easy and informative . Would definitely stay here again !

Lovely quiet and cosy cottage , beautifully modernised and amazing location five minutes walk from Windermere high street with all the amazing charm and convenience

This cottage was beautifully furnished and maintained, in an ideal location with considerate hosts. They went out of their way to make a weekend away special. Would recommend the property to any other visitors.

I have been on many self catering breaks but this was by far the best. The property was beautiful full of character, spotlessly clean and everything that we could possibly need was provided. The location was perfect close to shops pubs and public transport with beautiful scenery to explore within walking distance. We were worried that it might be noisy but it was surprisingly quiet considering we went during the school holidays.

We received excellent service and comms from Andrea and enjoyed a wonderful stay. The cottage was everything we hoped for and is fantastically positioned to enjoy everything the Lakes has to offer. Thank you.

My friends and I had a lovely stay in the cottage. It was within close walking distance to shops, restaurants and pubs, and the cottage itself was very cosy with everything we needed included.

Lots of clear information about this property. Excellent location for those using public transport. Close to the station and good bus services. The cottage was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. It felt homely and comfortable. I would recommend it!

The cottage was absolutely spotless and equipped with everything you could possibly think of. Wonderful welcome pack including tea, coffee, sugar, jam and cake, much appreciated after a long journey up. All the cutlery, crockery and linens of a very high standard. Luxurious toiletries supplied. Bed super comfy! Sofa and armchairs not so, especially if you fancy an evening relaxing at home. The cottage doesn't get any sun which is a shame, so can seem a bit 'gloomy'. But the worst part, sadly, is the noise! If you've come for a quiet, peaceful stay (particularly if you have young children) then this isn't the place for you! Situated on the corner of a very busy junction at the top of the town, the traffic starts around 6am and is constant. There is a hotel next door from which there is obviously a lot of activity from the kitchen, staff putting rubbish and recycling out etc. Then the youth hostel on the other side - during our week there was a constant stream of people wheeling luggage at all times of the day and night right past the cottage, talking loudly. And then a VERY noisy birthday party held there on the Friday night with people congregating just feet away from our back door clearly very drunk. The music was so loud it shook the walls - OK it did stop at around midnight, but it did keep us awake and if I'd had young children with me I would have been furious. Sadly we didn't manage to sleep well all week due to the noise all around, which definately spoilt the experience and our hopes of having a relaxing week. How the neighbours who live in this little terrace put up with it I just can't imagine. For this reason we wouldn't stay again, which is a real pity because the owner obviously takes great pride in this cottage and has put so many thoughtful touches in place. Sorry to have to leave a negative review, but feel it's only fair to point it out to future guests who may value their peace and quiet.

We enjoyed a lovely week in the cottage. It has lots of character and charm along with all modern conveniences. The host made us very welcome and the cottage was generously stocked with essentials and thoughtful extras. You can walk to the lake and everything in town. Parking is at the station which is only moments away - we got the week ticket as recommended and it worked perfectly. I would 100% recommend the cottage to a family or small group. We hope to return.

Cosy. Very well equipped. Comfortable beds. Very clean. Centrally located so good for local ammenities such as Booths, restaurants, train station, etc. Car parking was a concern but had no problems parking close to the property.

An excellent cottage in the best location! perfect host, perfect cottage and perfect holiday. Look no further if you want somewhere to stay in the heart of windermere with the bars and restaurants all just a few minutes walk away. Also ideally located to the train station and bus service that takes you to Grasmere, Ambleside and many more. Andrea was the perfect host and always replied promptly if needed . Loved every minute of it. Beds were super comfy too !
