Is Thyme Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Thyme Cottage is not suitable for children as it sleeps only two guests in one king-size bedroom. The property is designed specifically as a couple's retreat. The high front door step and ground floor location with windows accessible to passers-by also make it less appropriate for families with young children.
For Couples
Perfect for romantic breaks with a king-size bed and two leather reclining chairs for cosy evenings. The large bath with monsoon shower creates a spa-like atmosphere after fell walks. The well-equipped kitchen includes a Nespresso machine for lazy mornings. Central location means you can walk to restaurants and pubs without driving. The front garden offers mountain views for peaceful moments together.
Pet Friendly
Thyme Cottage does not accept pets under any circumstances. The property maintains a strict no-pets policy for all bookings. If you're travelling with a dog, you'll need to find alternative accommodation in the Windermere area. Many other Lake District properties do welcome pets, so it's worth searching specifically for pet-friendly options nearby.
