Rustic Cottage, Bowness-On-Windermere

Lovely little cottage in a really convenient location. Parking wasnt a problem at all. The garden was fab and secure for dog and sitting out mornings and evenings. Bit disappointed no smart tv as we normally log into our netflix when away and sure lits of people do nowadays. Comfy beds and plenty of cutleryequipment for use in the kitchen. Would definitely stay again

The cottage was perfectly situated a short walk from the centre of the town in a quiet row of cottages. The owner contacted us prior to arriving to make sure we got a parking space. Inside was spotlessly clean and actually better than the photos! Everything you could possibly need was on hand. A lovely quiet and peaceful stay even though the weather was AWFUL! We will return

Welcomed by the ownerneighbour. Great location. Turn right out of the cottage gate, walk along the back lane which brings you out at the bottom of the hill by the Beatrix Potter attraction. Turn left out of gate, down the gravel path looks like a driveway this brings you out at the top of the town by a sweetshop. Town is full of restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend King of Siam for an evening meal, dog welcomed. And the flying pig and Village inn pub with the family and dog. Tesco express and Co op both in the town. We are a family of two adults and a teenager. I think the cottage would be a squeeze with 4 adults. Sofas are small two seaters. Beds are doubles. Front bedroom was compact for one and lacked storage space. The wooden doors are a feature but you can see through all the gaps especially the bathroom door, drafty and very noisy to open and close and tricky to hold the latches. Garden was fine for our dog. Parking permit given, got a space 67 days, one property was trying to hold a space for their guests, bit awkward. Handy to have items provided ie dish soap, toilet roll, condiments, laundry tabs it's only a washer not a dryer bath towels are huge and luxury. Ideal location as a base, we drove to lots of National Trust places, Keswick, Kendal, Ambleside, Grasmere, Hawkeshead, Coniston. Definitely got our steps in. First week of Easter hols was actually quite quiet. We had a very enjoyable busy week.

Beautiful little cottage in great location! Will be returning!

Beautiful, cosy cottage, lovely and clean and has everything you could possibly want. Very quiet area and yet super close to many great restaurants, shops and short walk from the lake. We will definitely be back.

Last minute booking , so happy it was a little hidden gem in a great location

We found Rustic Cottage to be fantastic. Very warm on cold winters nights with the log burner and central heating. The beds were very comfortable and there is a lovely bathroom. It is in a great area for walking with plenty of amenities very close by. Everything you could need was in the kitchen and there are lots of leaflets about the area as well as books. We can highly recommend this dog friendly cottage.

The cottage was absolutely beautiful, cosy, clean, everything you needed was there, beautiful touches and the christmas tree was up which was extra special. The location was perfect and we had a parking permit which was perfect and had no problem parking. We had all the instructions we needed for everything. It was so nice and warm when we arrived and the log burner was amazing. The hosts were just a phone call away if we needed them. We had a lovely surprise from them with a bottle of prosecco and lovely chocolates. We cannot wait to return.

Such a lovely property, great location and all the amenities you will need. Great Stay, Thank you

We love staying at Rustic Cottage a gem of a place. Its like a home away from home. Already checking dates for next year!

This beautiful cottage stands a stones throw away from everything you need, the location is perfect. Rustic cottage has a lovely garden and its such a quiet restful place, it's spotlessly clean, comfy & like home from home. You won't be disappointed.

A beautiful little cottage close to the town centre. It had every comfort for a short stay.

Fantastic cottage in a perfect location. Everything was there for a great stay.

The cottage was perfect. Well situated for the town which had so many choices for bars and restaurants. Ideally located for travelling to visit different areas of the Lakes. Plenty of options for boat trips or boat hire within a few minutes walk. It was cosy and clean with all the amenities you could need for a short or long stay.

We had a perfect week in this delightful cottage. Parked our car up on arrival using the parking pass supplied by the property and never used the car until we went home. All the amenities provided in the cottage are so well thought out no need to rush out buy wash up liquid, cooking oil, saltpepper etc they are all provided by the lovely owners. You feel instantly at home here. Very clean and well maintained cottage. A very short walk takes you into Bownes where you can take your pick of restaurants, cafes, pubs etc. Most are dog friendly. Some gorgeous walks in the area and boat trips on Windermere to take you to other walking routes. Almost didnt want to write this review as I dont want this cottage to be booked up next time we want to go. Highly recommend this property and the owners are on hand for any questions you have.

We had a fantastic break in this lovely little cottage. Great location, spotless, very comfortable beds, everything you could need for a great stay. Garden was a lovely sun trap. A big thank you to the owner who kept us a parking space. Would definitely stay here again.

We have been visiting Rustic Cottage for years and hope to visit for many years ... We have been visiting Rustic Cottage for years and hope to visit for many years to come we love it just one request can you please fix the fence between the cottage next door as our dog was constantly getting into their garden Thanks

We had a fantastic week at Rustic Cottage it was really cosy, just a short walk from the town and Bowness was a really good base for exploring the Lakes. The log burner was a huge bonus as the weather was pretty chilly! We'll definitely be back!

Cosy cottage in a super location. Would recommend.

Absolute gem of a place. Decided we wanted to get away for a few nights after Xmas and New Year, and this was perfect. Great location, immaculately clean and just perfect for a couple. Whilst the temperature rarely got above freezing for the 4 nights, we were lucky there'd been snow so with Crystal blue skies, snow on the mountains and calm settled weather it was a great break. We got parked on Craig Walk within about 20m but as the information says,there's free parking very close by, though how close would depend on how busy the area is. We left the car and bought a 5 day bus ticket which got us to Ambleside and Grasmere and I believe Keswick and Kendal if we'd have wanted.

Central location, great having secure outside space for doggy guests and nearby parking reserved by the neighbours, who explained the parking permit, thank you. Lovely cosy cottage decorated for Christmas with all we needed during our stay.

Lovely cottage in quiet area. So cosy , immaculately clean and good facilities. Well equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. Beds so comfortable.Thank you for the parking permit too.

We had a lovely holiday at Rustic cottage ,short walk into town though very peaceful and quiet at the cottage which was extremely well equipped,in fact one of the best of the many cottages we have stayed in. The beds were excellent, so comfortable. The owner kindly kept a parking space for us ,use of permit available but we didn't use the car all week using an excellent bus service instead.

This is our second visit to Rustic Cottage we love it here. Its comfortable and is well equipped. A great base for exploring the area. We have booked to come back next year

Fantastic cottage, everything you could need supplied. Owners lovely. Location brilliant.

A gorgeous little cottage in such a peaceful spot. Bowness is really busy with tourists but this cottage is at the end of a cul de sac so no passing traffic. The owner kindly saved us a parking space really close to the cottage and texted us to let us know, it was so helpful for unloading! Lovely facilities and the shops etc just a short distance away including a Tesco express, very handy!! Local bus service is fantastic so you could park up and go everywhere on buses for only2 a journey!

Very comfortable rooms and very cosy.The best sleep ever.The beds and Pillows are brilliant.Our disabled Daughter wanted to bring it home.Coulnt believe how well equipped the Cottage was The owners have thought of everything for their guests incase they've forgot it.Would recommend to anybody visiting Windermere.The location is Superb for the lakes

Such a lovely stay at number 3 Rustic Cottages. Of all the holiday homes we have stayed in over the years, this has been the best equipped. We were met on arrival and helped to find a suitable parking place. The cottage was spotless and comfortable. The bed was super comfy. This is a perfect base to discover the lake area. We even had lots of fine weather.

A lovely property with everything you need for a great stay. Easy walking distance to the lake, shops and restaurants. Would definitely book again
