Is Fernwhisper Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

The manor house offers a games room for entertainment and outdoor space for play. Lake Windermere is on the doorstep for water activities and boat trips. The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction is just 0.3 miles away. However, with 18 bedrooms across multiple floors and no specific child facilities, this property suits older children better than toddlers.

For Couples

This property is not suitable for couples. Fernwhisper Cottage sleeps 18 guests and is designed for large groups, celebrations and corporate events. The grand scale, multiple reception rooms and 18 bedrooms make it impractical and expensive for a romantic break. Couples would find smaller Lake District cottages more appropriate and intimate for their needs.

Pet Friendly

Fernwhisper Cottage does not accept pets. The strict no pets policy protects the Grade II listed building and its historic features. Dogs and other animals are not permitted anywhere on the property. Pet owners should look for alternative Lake District accommodation that welcomes animals. The policy applies to all stays regardless of group size or occasion.
