Is Westwood Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Children will love the spacious rooms and proximity to family attractions. The World of Beatrix Potter is just 2 miles away. Lake Windermere offers boat trips and watersports. Grizedale Forest Park provides adventure playgrounds and forest trails. The large kitchen and dining area work well for family meals. Cot and highchair are available on request.
For Couples
Westwood works better for groups than couples due to its size. The property sleeps 8 across four bedrooms making it too large for a romantic getaway. Couples seeking an intimate retreat would find smaller properties more suitable. However the location offers easy access to romantic lake walks and countryside views. The wood burning stove creates atmosphere in the living room.
Pet Friendly
Westwood does not accept pets. The property operates a strict no pets policy for all bookings. Dog owners will need to look at alternative Lake District cottages that welcome four-legged guests. Many other properties in the Windermere area do accept dogs. The surrounding countryside offers excellent walking routes but pets cannot stay at this particular cottage.
