Is Lily Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Lily Cottage provides a cot and highchair for younger children. The World of Beatrix Potter sits just 1.2 miles away with interactive exhibits. Queen's Park offers a play area within 0.3 miles. Windermere Lake Cruises provide boat trips that children enjoy. The cottage's three bedrooms give families space to spread out. Fell Foot Park has adventure playgrounds and lake access. The location allows easy access to numerous Lake District family attractions.

For Couples

This property isn't ideal for couples wanting an intimate retreat. The three-bedroom layout suits families or groups rather than romantic breaks. The central Windermere location means nearby activity rather than peaceful seclusion. Two couples could share comfortably but one bathroom sits downstairs through the kitchen. The open fire adds some atmosphere. Better options exist for couples wanting privacy and romance in the Lake District.

Pet Friendly

Lily Cottage does not accept pets. The owner occasionally brings their own pet to the property but guest animals are not permitted under any circumstances. If you're travelling with a dog, you'll need to find alternative accommodation in the Windermere area. Many other Lake District cottages welcome pets, but this particular property maintains a strict no-pets policy for guest bookings throughout the year.

Lily Cottage Reviews

Christine

We had a lovely time at Lily Cottage. It had everything we needed for a few days relaxing and walking round Windermere. The location is great, parking was easy and only a short walk to the shops and restaurants in Windermere and Bowness. The garden is a great place to relax in the sun with a well earned G&T after a long day walking.

It was a lovely place to stay and next time we are up that way we would choose Lily Cottage again. Lovely host and a very nice cottage.

Michael

We spent a lovely few days staying a Lily Cottage at the end of October with our two sons. The cottage is really nicely furnished it actually surpassed our expectations from the photos was spacious and very well equipped with everything we could need. Its well located for both Windermere and Bowness, as well as being a good base for the wider lakes and we had no issues parking, always getting a spot within a few metres on the street. We very much enjoyed our stay and would happily return!

Denham

This is a very comfortable holiday home in a good location. Parking available outside the door more or less. Handy for both Windermere and Bowness. Decor was very nice and a well stocked kitchen in terms of glasses, plates etc. A coffee machine would be an added bonus, last few places we have booked has had one. Adrienne the owner contacted us prior to our stay, which was a nice touch and also very helpful. We had some excellent visits, there is a good bus service nearby so you can park up your car and avoid the expensive parking charges.

Comfortable and well equipped cottage on a quiet street, ideally located for Windermere, within easy reach of Grasmere and beyond. All you need for easy catering one of the few places we've found with decent sized mugs, sharp kitchen knives and a vegetable peeler our essentials!. Helpful and responsive host. Great to have easy parking outside. Near a play park and walks from the door. Good meal at The Brookside pub nearby. Overall a great place to stay.

I feel that there should be another bathroom upstairs, it would be a nuisance If there is 3 couples to keep going down stairs thru the kitchen to shower, this is mainly because I usually stay in cottages with onsuit, the cottage is very nice, i would say more for a family than mixed friends, so unfortunately I won't stay here again.

Pamela

Lovely cottage to stay in, not far from Windermere with a range of lovely shops and places to eat. Lovely boat rides in Ambleside which is not that far away. Adrienne responded quickly to any queries I had this contributed to how I rated our experience. I would recommend this cottage to others.

Lily Cottage is a lovely holiday home that had everything we needed for our Easter break. It is tastefully decorated and furnished throughout. Good communication from the owner and the location is 15 mins walk to Windermere cruises and local to pick up any shopping from Sainsburys & Booths shops. Would highly recommend this 5 holiday home. Thank you for sharing your holiday home with us, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit x

Fantastic stay at Lily Cottage. Very comfortable and clean with everything you would need for a family break. Plenty of parking and within a short walking distance to Windermere High Street. Great, friendly communication from Adrienne. Would love to stay again. Thank you.

Michael

My family had a great stay. The house is lovely and seemed bigger in person than the photos show. Very clean, great location and everything you would need. We would definitely stay here again.
