A great stay!
We stayed in July 2024 as a group of 13 (age range was teenagers to adults) + 2 dogs. Location is great with a good range of shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance from the house and main attractions of Windermere a short drive away. 5 en-suite bathrooms were much appreciated given we were 4 separate families. Also a table we could all sit at at the same time also fab! Hot tub also appreciated!

A fantastic time
My family and I stayed here for my 30th birthday weekend. Check in and preparing for our stay before hand was made very easy by Andy. When we arrived at the property there was more than enough space to park all 4 of our cars, the property itself was as it was in the pictures and more! The building is gorgeous and the location is ideal, less than a 5 minute walk into nearby pubs / shops / walks. The house was cleaned immaculately, the beds were lovely and comfy, and all rooms were spacious and cosy, perfect either for dinner, chilling, watching movies or playing games. We also enjoyed watching a long classic movie at the end of our stay downstairs in the fantastic cinema room. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend / come again!
