Is Burrow Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Burrow Cottage is not suitable for children. This is an adult-only romantic retreat designed specifically for couples. The one-bedroom layout and historic features make it impractical for families.

For Couples

Perfect for romantic breaks with its cosy log burner and king-size bed. The intimate one-bedroom layout creates privacy and comfort. Original oak beams and period features add character. The location offers peaceful surroundings yet easy access to Windermere and Bowness. Many couples return for anniversaries and honeymoons. The enclosed rear patio provides a private outdoor space for two.

Pet Friendly

Burrow Cottage does not accept pets. The property maintains a pet-free policy to accommodate guests with allergies and preferences. This ensures the cottage remains suitable for all visitors. If you're travelling with dogs, you'll need to find alternative Lake District accommodation that welcomes animals. The policy is strictly enforced to maintain the property's condition and guest comfort.

Another wonderful stay at Burrow Cottage which has become our regular treat now for our Wedding Anniversary, we first stayed for our Honeymoon in December 2021 and we now come back to stay every year in early December. A lovely cosy cottage with a wood burner and all you need for a lovely relaxing break and close to Bowness for a day out and a great host Paul, with great communication and always very helpful

We stayed at Burrow Cottage on the 4th to 7th October. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and very well presented. The kitchen was well equiped with everything we needed. We loved sitting by the log fire. Great location for exploring Windermere. There is lots of information in the cottage regarding the surrounding areas to visit and where to eat which was really useful. We would definitely recommend this cottage
