Mathew

Good house good location , some anti slip matts in the showers are needed as the showers are very slippy , bed needing replaced in master suite ,over all a good house , been several times will be back . Caroline , Matt .

Anthea

First time in this property and once we found it we absolutely loved it. Both bedrooms were super comfy and bathroom facilities were excellent. We never used the car once we got here just used the bus which was excellent and meant we didn't have to navigate narrow roads etc. And a bonus a kitchen with both a bread bin and a draining rack! This mightn't sound much but there are many properties which either have none or just one.

William

The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, with everything that was needed for an enjoyable stay. There was parking for two cars if needed. It was ideally situated for shops and local transport. Would certainly recommend it.

Our 2nd time staying at Woodside west and it didn't disappoint. Great cottage very comfortable and spacious so close to Town. Car parking and outside seating area fantastic. Special thank you to housekeeper Jane for her help with a couple of issues.

A very comfortable well appointed property in a great location. My sister & I had a fantastic week here and have already booked for next year. The owner was very helpful too.

Woodside West is an excellent base for exploring the Lake District. The property is comfortable and well equipped close to shops and local bus services, but in a quiet location. Fast broadband and a good TV made staying in on wet days and we had several enjoyable. This was our first holiday here, but we've already booked for next year.

Christine

Woodside West is a lovely house to stay in. Home from home. Comfortable and very clean and excellent position for getting out and about. Hope to return.

Excellent property in an excellent location. We have visited 9 times now and will be going back again soon. The property is kept immaculately clean by the housekeeper Jane who deserves a special mention.

Mathew

This was our 3rd stay at Woodside west the accommodation is great for comfort and a nice quiet location and still handy as everything is only a few minutes walk away would highly recommend this property . Kind regards , Caroline and Matt ,

Great location, well equipped.

Samantha

We have stayed in the area before but the parking puts us off coming back. This property has great & easy car parking which together with previous good reviews made us book. We wasnt disappointed & will definitely return.

Our third visit to Woodside West and what a lovely property to return to after wet and windy walks on the fells! Warm, cosy and comfortable accommodation with excellent, easy access to shops and restaurants and dedicated parking spaces. Highly recommended.

Gillian

Very clean, very comfortable! Great location and was a very homely property. Jane was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Catherine

Well equipped, clean and a great location. my heart sank on arrival on having to carry my luggage up 3 floors of stairs! But once in not a issue It is also stated that there are views of the lake you would have to squint to see a lake. small patio as there was a little table and chairs shown in the pictures which were actually at the front in the car park. Not a big deal as in November we were not sitting outside. We had a extremely comfortable stay and would return.

Brilliant location for a lovely comfortable for home for exploring Bowness on Windermere and the surrounding area. We have stayed at this house many times over the years and continue to go back. The property is spacious and well appointed. There is great parking and it is lovely and quiet. It only takes a few minutes from leaving the property to be in the main street for shops, bars and restaurants.

Had a brilliant holiday. Cottage was spotless and well equipped. Convenient location right on the bus route. Will be back.

Superb property, our 8th visit and we have already booked again for May 2026. Excellent location being very central for all amenities in Bowness and Windermere but quietly tucked away with off road parking for 2 cars. Always immaculately clean and well presented, thanks to Jane the housekeeper.

Had a great week in Bowness. The house is comfortable and well equipped....also well situated in the town. The weather was fabulous so enjoyed getting out and about in the beautiful Lake District.

Lovely comfy cottage, fantastic location which benefits 2 large parking spaces. It is immaculately clean thanks to Jane and is very well equipped. The main bedroom has the most comfortable bed I have slept in and both the main bathroom and ensuite have large showers. The utility is located on ground floor and very spacious for drying wet walking clothes. The exit from the cottage is slightly banky but still ok for 2 unfit pensioners like ourselves. Needless to say I have already booked Woodside West for our next holiday.

Stephen

Excellent amenities and comfortable clean accommodation really made for a great break.

We really enjoyed our stay at Woodside West. The property is in an excellent location within in easy access to all that Bowness and Windermere has to offer. The 2 car parking spaces are a real bonus. The property is well equipped clean and well maintained and has a homely feel. Would definitely recommend and we hope to visit again soon.

Woodside West was fabulous! We had a fantastic week in BownessOnWindermere and staying at Woodside West made it even better. The cottage is beautiful, exceptionally clean, comfortable, had everything we needed and more. The car parking spaces and outside seating area was an added bonus we sat outside in the sun most evenings. We enjoyed it so much we have already booked our stay for 2026!! Thank you so much to the owners for this fabulous holiday home x

A very convenient location with an excellent bus service on the doorstep. The property is really well equipped, very clean and very comfortable.

Steven

Beautiful stay, I could go on and on about the quality and facilities, but its easier to keep it to one word. Exceptional!! See you again soon Steve,Jane & Jess Tellwright

Melanie

Excellent property in a great location. Car parking is a big bonus.

Woodside West is a home from home. The location is ideal, so close to shops, cafs and restaurants and yet really quiet, tucked away as it is. The interior is excellent too. It's impeccably clean, spacious and very cosy and comfortable. We particularly appreciated the Christmas decorations which brightened a somewhat wet and gloomy week.

Lovely property and very good response from Jane the housekeeper

We've stayed at Woodside West several times now. Everything has stayed exaxtly the same over the years! The lady who services the propery was excellent very helpful and friendly.

Ashley

Second visit to 1 Woodside West. We love the location accessibility to both Windermere and Bowness. The convenience of having a dedicated parking spot. Well appointed and very clean.

The cottage is well placed in a central but quiet location. Its very comfortable,clean and well equipped. Sykes photo of the patio is very misleading as its just in the car park and others seemed to use it. In late September that didnt matter but it may to some people. Overall its a very good holiday home with a large ground floor utility room useful for walking gear

Really enjoyable stay in this property. Well kitted out and very clean and comfortable. Excellent location, right in town centre. Easy parking

Cottage was well appointed, clean and comfortable. Slightly odd layout over three floors, with two flights of stairs to negotiate to bedrooms with suitcases on arrival and departure. Description referring to patiosun terrace and garden maybe stretching things slightly. Private offroad parking a godsend during the extremely busy time of our stay August 24. Access back to the main road in the car a bit precarious though. Overall, a lovely place to stay, with good access to Bowness, Windermere and beyond. Would recommend.

A very comfortable cottage, in a quiet location within the Bowness area, with the added convenience of good parking

Beautiful house, very comfortable. Shame about the weather!

Woodside West ticks every box and we were so pleased to have found it , its our favourite holiday cottage now. Very clean and comfortable and great parking too. Cant wait to return ! Thank you too Jane for being very kind and helpful after discovering we had left something behind .

Shirley

The listing on the website was inaccurate as it says the property is over 2 floors then goes on to describe 3, which it actually is. Not a problem for us but might be for some people especially getting all the food shopping to the kitchen upstairs and suitcases up two flights to the bedrooms. The photo of the outside space is misleading, its not private in the sense of not being overlooked as its in the car park area, but it is only used by this property. We didnt like it and didnt want to use it.

Woodside West is a lovely property. Well equipped, very tidy and a great location. My only criticism is that it is advertised as being on 2 floors, its actually on 3 floors. Lots of stairs! It is also stated that there are views of the lake. This is simply not true. Very misleading.

This is an excellent cottage in a good location. There are lots of places to eat and transport facilities are good.

Jackie

Woodside West is a home from home. Its clean and comfortable with everything you need .The location is great as its just off the Main Street yet far enough away to be really quiet. The parking space is essential as Bowness gets very busy. We have stayed here before and look forward to staying again. The only thing is the house has a lot of stairs and there is a bit of a bank to climb from the property to the main road so it is not suitable if you have mobility issues.
