Thanks again for a lovely stay in your cottage We love staying here The cottage is cosy and warm Close to shops, cafes etc Thanks for the prosecco, a nice touch The cottage was lovely and clean and has everything you need to make it feel like home!
We had a wonderful stay over new year. The cottage has great facilities and is in a quiet location but still in the centre of Windermere. I would highly recommend this property and I will definitely be returning. Two small improvements that would help are a clear folder of instructions, particularly the oven, and a cloth for drying the dishes but we had a great stay.
Had another lovely stay at Thyme Cottage in Windermere The cottage is lovely ...

Lovely place to stay, nice and comfortable, pity there wasn't a washing machine but overall would recommend
The cottage is a perfect place to relax after a day exploring the lakes. The accommodation offers almost luxury comfort with a large bath, two comfy recliner chairs and a well equipped kitchen. The location is ideal for Windermere train stations, near the town centre, near some excellent restaurants and shops if you dont want to drive near the bus route to Grasmere Bowness. This accommodation made our holiday that much nicer and we will book again!

Absolutely lovely cottage, very comfy arm chairs, lovely bed, excellent parking, perfect position just off town centre but no noise at all, nice outside chair if it hadnt been raining all week, with mountain views when we saw it twice, good heating and lovely shower, well equipped kitchen, although we didnt use anything, the only thing I have bad knees and the toilet was quite low and the bath quite high to get into to, but it was lovely and I would recommned to anyone.
Our first stay in this beautiful well equipped ideally situated ground floor apartment. Quality appliances all with clear instructions and so well equipped with everything you could possibly need. So many maps and guide books and the best equipped kitchen with every utensil imaginable. We were warm and very comfortable. We didnt use the car as the bus service was so handy and we could use our senior bus passes. Despite pretty awful weather we had a wonderful week. Easy walk to many bars and restaurants and down to the lake. Have booked for next year.

Thyme cottage is perfect, situated in the centre of Windemere with a view of the mountains. All amenities on your doorstep, including bus and train travel. The accomadation had everything you needed for your holiday including private parking. The weather we had was an added bonus. Would highly recommend.
We've stayed many times at Thyme Cottage. Lovely comfortable flat in central but quiet location. Would definitely recommend and will be back next year.

We had a lovely stay. Fabulous location and so much on the doorstep! The cottage was clean and had everything that was needed. The only couple of negatives were that people were able to walk past the bedroom during the night which slightly freaked me out as we had the door slightly open for air. The other thing was that we paid over 700 for the week which I understand it was the height of the season but the quality of the bedding was cheap and not particularly nice!
Kathleen
Very cosy and comfortable especially the bed. Very well maintained and good quality. Excellent position handy for the buses and surrounding places
Richard

Jennifer

Has one of us uses a walking stick the front door step was a little high perhaps a portable step outside would be good
What a fantastic place to stay, warm, cosy and comfortable. Ideally placed to explore the Lakes. We'd highly recommend and will come again.
Our second stay at Thyme Cottage and although the first stay was really lovely, our second stay surpassed our memories! Absolutely amazing location to access all areas of The Lake District. To be able to stay in the middle of Windermere with a parking space and a bus stop, restaurants, pubs and shops within a very short walk, it takes some beating. I would also like to say thanks to Jess and the owner for resolving an issue with the hot water so very quickly. Definitely will come back.
We've stayed at Thyme Cottage many times. We love it! A great location really quiet, you'd never believe it's only 50 yards of Windermere village with easy access to bus routes there's no need to use the car. We'll be back next year.
William
An enjoyable week in the Lakes even though the weather was not to good. Accommodation was excellent. Lots of local walks, ideal location for shops, pubs and restaurants. Lovely Italian restaurants a nice Chinese and a cracking chippy. This is our 3rd stay at Thyme Cottage and will not be our last.
Perfect for couples, clean and tidy. The driveway is narrow but we got our pickup through. Buses up and down the lake are fantastic! Will definitely stay again!
Perfect for 2 people, has everything you could possibly need, would definitely recommend
Jennifer
Beautiful little cottage in the heart of Windermere, fabulous location everything you need on the doorstep!
Amazed how quiet Thyme cottage is, considering it is so close to the centre of Windermere. Everything close at hand & the local bus routes took us everywhere we wanted to visit.
A gem of a cottage, perfect for two people. A high standard of accomadation, very comfortable. Reseved parking a great bonus and very close to pubs, shops and foodplaces. Bus stops on the high street minutes from cottage. Crafty baa and Elleray worth visits for food and drink.
Incredible stay . Keep doing good work
The cottage is ideally located within the centre of Windermere, has the benefit of an assigned car parking space, and is clean and comfortable with all essential facilities. From here we were able to enjoy the wonderful Lake District.
Therese
Enjoyed a lovely week at Thyme Cottage and found the flat very warm, comfy and well equipped. We did some lovely walks from the door and found the local buses very useful. Such a bonus having a dedicated parking space.
Brilliant cottage with good facilities. Nice and quiet. Great location. Handy for shops, places to eat and transport.No need to use the car if you didn't want too. Designated parking bay in private car park outside the cottage.Would definitely visit again. Regards David and Denise.
5 stars PLUS. Warm and welcoming as we entered. Lovely to be able to just relax. Not a lot to say that hasn't been said in previous reviews, except we could not find ANY fault. Thank you so much. As Arnie saidish We'll be back!
We walked in to the radio and lighting and a bottle of Prosecco. A lovely welcoming touch. The cottage is so cozy and well equipped in a perfect location, right in the middle of Windermere but off the main road. Buses, shops, bars and restaurants on the doorstep. We arrived Friday and didnt use the car until the following Thursday, but enjoyed the lovely views from the top deck of the bus to visit many places. My only suggestion would be a second tea towel as one is not enough for seven days. Will definitely return. Thank you
Wilfred
Very very pleased with cottage in general, but the problem of the fire alarm going off occasionally needs to be addressed.
Fantastic place to stay anybody who wants to be in windermere stay here ... Fantastic place to stay anybody who wants to be in windermere stay here parking bus service great only problem if any faults arise should have a no to ring but still a great place would go back
Sandra
Property very good for local amenities, shops restaurants and bus stop. Cottage very cosy on the wet days and had everything we needed.
Jennifer
Beautiful little cottage, very close to the town centre and amenities , very well equipped and spotlessly clean and thecbonus of having off Road parking, looking forward to booking again .
No access to WiFi. The oven and trays were very dirty and smelt awful when oven was used.
Thyme Cottage was lovely. Spotlessly clean. A very comfortable bed. So quiet & convenient, 1 minute from the shops. An easy walk down to the Lake & buses every few minutes returning to Windermere. We will certainly book again.
Elizabeth
Our second visit since finding Thyme Cottage and again we were not disappointed. The interior is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Situated in the centre of Windermere, close to shops, restaurants & transport be it trains, buses, water cruises. Plenty of walks and activities within a short distance from the cottage. All in all a gem of a place.
