Brookside Cottage Reviews

Jeff
Excellent accomodation near to Windermere and Bowness. Photos were accurate. Someone has already mentioned the stairs to the second floor being steep and needing care, not suitable for those with mobility issues . Parking outside was easy. The garden wasn't used due to the cold ( but sunny) weather in November. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Steve
Kelly
Fabulous property. Very well equipped and cosy. Perfect location for strolling into Windermere and easy access to everything the area has to offer. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will book again
Christopher
Fantastiic Cottage Great base for us and our friends from Czech Republic
Peter
Excellent cottage. Pity the weather prevented us from using superb outdoor facilities. Stairs to top floor not great for elderly. But a wonderful cottage.
Joanna
This is a charming cottage, very warm and cosy, there is plenty of space for 5 adults. The parking although on the road was never a problem. The location is excellent, it's within easy walking distance of Windermere and Bowness. Thank you.
Kevin
Wonderful house - we felt as if we had been welcomed in to someone's lovely comfortable home, such was the quality of the fixtures and fittings, and the atmosphere. All of us settled in and relaxed quickly, and - importantly - all of us slept very well (unusually).
Steven
Great cottage Great location excellent facilities all round would highly recommend
Emma
Fantastic little stay at the brookside cottage . Very close to all amenities

Brookside is very well equipped, comfortable, cosy and warm. The interior decor and furnishings are of a very high standard and very much in keeping with the property itself, which is delightful. The location is ideal being both convenient for the town and its amenities but also quiet.

A lovely cottage located close to townâ??s amenities. Wonderful brook running through the garden. Everything for a great family holiday.
Jane
This cottage is lovely, stayed with family, great to walk into Windermere 5 mins turning left out of the door or Bowness around 15/20 min stroll so you can leave the car. Parking on the street, we always found a place. Well equipped, good facilities & just loved the garden
Alastair
Cottage was lovely and the property is fantastic. Highly recommend!
Neal
Lovely house, everything we needed an a gorgeous setting. Very comfortable
Edward
We enjoyed a lovely stay at Brookside cottage. Set next to the beautiful beck (which had already won us over when we booked), nothing disappointed, even the weather was kind to us. The cottage is ideally located within easy reach of Windermere and Bowness, and a short drive to lots picturesque walks and local attractions. A memorable family holiday, we will certainly aim to return one day!
