Acorn Cottage Reviews

I cannot recommend this beautiful house enough, the owners were so helpful with a query I had before we arrived. The house was spotless on arrival and the parking for two cars was great. There is literally everything you could ever need in the property , plenty of space , a lovely secure area at the rear and just a few minutes stroll into Bowness . We loved our weekend here and wouldnt hesitate to stay here again , thank you

Rachel

The cottage is ideally situated just behind the main street in Bowness, in a quiet cul de sac, with 2 free allocated parking spaces. The house is in excellent condition, the kitchen is very well equipped. Everything is thoughtfully provided eg. Walking poles, local walk books and a good information book. The owners responded very promptly and helpfully to the one query we had. I would love to stay here again, the price is extremely reasonable. Thank you for having us, we had a very enjoyable stay.

Acorn cottage was totally inviting and like 'home from home' everything you need in the kitchen Good to be able to park outside the property 5 minute walk to main road for bus stop, shops,restaurants etc so a great location Acorn cottage was so quiet and peaceful and we all had a great stay

Derrick

Thank you for a wonderful experience, my daughter loved staying at the attic, watching the sky!

Debbie

We had a super holiday at Acorn Cottage. We loved the property, its character, that it had everything we could possibly need and of course its amazing location perfect for walks, shopping and visiting other villages and towns in the area. We have given it 3 out of 4 on accuracy of listing however as we didnt expect the rear garden to be so open to neighbours on one side and also that rear gates could be opened and gardens accessed by other residents. If we had not had a dog, this might not have been an issue but as we do and a gate was left open on one occasion, we feel we should draw your attention to this. Overall, a property that we think many including us would want to revisit.

Very good central location , lovely cottage , clean throughout , well equipped kitchen , parking was great for two vehicles and lovely touch with the welcome pack. If the property was free if we were to return we would definitely book it again .

Louise

Absolutely amazing property. We had a lovely cozy, comfortable stay. We would love to stay here again

Aileen

Acorn Cottage is a warm and welcoming space to come back to at the end of the day. It offers all the comforts of a well thought out home. A true experience of hospitality. Parking out front was an added bonus in an area where parking cannot be taken for granted. A short walk up the hill behind will bring you to some outstanding views across the lake.

Natalie

Fantastic property, fantastic location, extremely clean, lots of nice little extra touches,we will be back thank you!

Victoria

Great location and everything we needed for a few days away. The welcome basket and the milk in the fridge were really welcome. Everything was in walking distance from the cottage so you can leave the car for the duration of you choose. We took a drive out around the lakes and returned home to a warm comfortable cottage. We couldnt have asked for anything more.

Stephen

Great location, facilities in kitchen could want more. Garden could be more cared for but not a real problem. Log burning fire great on cold winter nights after day walking. Only thing that was disappointing was the birds left calling cards all over our car so had to wash off constantly and we real look after the car, not sure how this could be managed.

Parking for 2 cars! We were met with a wonderfully warm and cosy cottage. We loved the welcome basket, lovely touch. The cottage was very clean, everywhere! Very generous with dishwasher tablets, washing tablets and lots of other necessities in the cupboards. Too many to mention. Kitchen was very well stocked. Slept well, comfortable beds. Brilliant Information Pack. Absolutely everything you need to know and more. Location perfect. So close to many lovely restaurants and shops but in a quiet location. Will definitely look to book again.

We found Acorn Cottage to be very clean, comfortable & always nice and warm. The kitchen had every appliance you would need. The dining area was ok but a little cramped for 6 people. The beds were all very comfortable. The location is really Bowness, Windermere was a little further away. We would not hesitate to book again.

Wonderfull cottage in a lovely part of town. Spotlessly clean. We were a family of 2 adults and 2 kids under the age of 11. Everyone had a fantastic time. Plenty of space for everyone. It was great that our dog was welcome too. There was a lovely welcome hamper that was very kind and welcoming. The cottage has everything that you would need from the kitchen equipment, to Internet and a smart tv in the lounge. Thanks so much for a wonderfull stay, will be looking to book again.

Really enjoyed our stay at Acorn cottage. Location was fantastic. On bus route as well. In walking distance to lots of restaurants. The cottage is very clean and has everything you need. The only negative thing I would say is the shower was very hot in the top bedroom and would not turn down. But I did let the owner know about this. Definitely stay again.

Nicola

Lovely cottage in the perfect location. Clean, well presented and everything you could possibly need to enjoy an home from home experience. We will definitely book again.

Lovely, comfortable and we needed.

It was a great place to stay, very clean and the complementary basket was most welcomed, including milk in the fridge when you arrive. Just two small points, the shower on the top floor was difficult to control the temperature, mostly too hot. In the information pack it stated to leave the green bin at the end of the drive, which I did, however when they arrive they collect from where it normally stands, that info need to change on the sheet. Everything else great thank you again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Acorn Cottage. It was in a great location, walking distance to shops, restaurants and pubs. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and the facilities for dogs were perfect. The only point of feedback albeit minor was that more toilet roll and some shower gelshampoo etc wouldve been appreciated but other than that, no complaints. We would definitely reccomend.

We had a lovely time at Acorn Cottage. Upon arrival we were greeted with a hamper of goodies which was a lovely touch. And even a pint of fresh milk in the fridge which I was most grateful of as was in need of a coffee after a 6 hour drive. We love the Lake District and would definitely book Acorn Cottage again!

Andrew

Loved our stay at Acorn Cottage. Would definitely recommend. quiet location. Nice touch with some added extras coffee etc in the welcome pack. Good location for dog owners with enclosed yard. Owners have put a lot of thought into this property to make it comfortable, even providing a dog basket and dog treats. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Philip

Beautifully presented cottage in a quiet close. The cottage was very clean and well equipped . We parked the car out the front and did not use it once all week as the cottage is in a great location between Windermere and Bowness. The cottage was dog friendly and a what a. lovely gesture in the welcome hamper with treats for our little dog Archie! Superb would definitely recommend !

We had a great stay at this property. We found it very clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. The beds were really comfortable and the bathrooms were great too. It is in a great location on the outskirts of Bowness and also within walking distance of Windermere. We highly recommend it.

We had a lovely stay here good location off the main road quiet, parking off road, bus stop nearby if needed supermarket close by and placed equally between the main areas of both Windermere and Bowness. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay with a delightful welcome pack as well. Although the stairs to the loft bedroom are steep as described we managed and overall the cottage suited us perfectly and would definitely book again.

Beautiful cottage. Superb decor throughout. Really comfortable. Everything to a high standard, equipped throughout with quality seating, needs, kitchen and appliances. The best and confident cottage we have ever booked. Quiet area, good double parking outside the house. Rear court yard is a real sun trap. Arrived to find a selection of snacks and a bottle of prosecco. Just what we needed after a long drive. A coffee machine with loads of pods in the kitchen, even a ninja air fryer. In a rental cottage, superb! Fantastic onsuite on the top floor. Second bathroom is good size and really nice with a good shower also. Super comfy beds. Cleanliness was excellent theoughout Will definitely be booking again! Highly recommend A

Frederick

Had a lovely stay. Really good location. Very clean with lots of household amenities to use. Really helpful having the travelcot. Owners were really friendly. Would recommend and return in future.

Acorn Cottage is absolutely charming. The rooms are clean, spacious, beautifully presented and have all the facilities you may need for a holiday. The location is great, there is ample parking and the cottage is only a few minutes walk from the centre of Bowness. The welcome pack on arrival was a lovely gesture and I look forward to bringing my family back for another stay at Acorn Cottage again in the future.

Michaael

The property was lovely and thank you for the welcome basket. The property was well located and had all the essentials. The only issue we had was with the heating the nights were chilly and sitting in the lounge room was very cool.

Lesley

Beautiful cottage in a perfect location with great access to Bowness and Windermere and its restaurants, pubs, shops and the lake. Cottage has everything you need for a lovely relaxing break away and the welcome hamper was such a lovely touch. The closed garden was ideal for our dog and after forgetting her foodwater bowl it was great to see spare dog bowls already there along with a dog bed!!! I would highly recommend staying here either as a family or as a couple and we will definitely be booking to stop in this lovely cottage again. What a fantastic stress free weekend away.. thank you!!!

A lovely welcome pack with goodies on arrival...House was super clean, we all slept really well, comfy beds with nice Cosy duvets. House is in a great spot for walking to Bowness and up to Windermere. We had a lovely weekend away and would highly recommend. We will definitely be back...Thank you x

Stephen

Lovely place , location great really enjoyed the stay.

Instructions for refuse and recycling could be clearer. 2 green bins on drive not numbered and one disappeared before we left. A clock would be useful upstairs. Generally a very comfortable cottage in a quiet location yet close to all local amenities, especially for people without their own transport. Would stay again.

Our first visit to the lake district we absolutely loved our stay cottage is wonderful decor is beautiful we were in the attic bedroom with en suite so comfortable and cosy . .ideal location for shops pubs and restaurants highly recommend this cottage we will definitely be back
