Itâs right in the middle of Bowness and Windermere which was perfect for us. Beds were super comfy and it was spotless! We would definitely come back the next time we stay in the lakes. Thank you

Perfectly placed to walk into either Bowness or Windermere, it simply couldnât be beaten for location, comfort, cleanliness and attention to detail. A real home from home, well equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need. Three very generous and comfortable bedrooms including the basement space which felt like having your own luxurious personal suite. Meeting the owner Gerry was also a real treat , he couldnât have been more welcoming. Hannahâs Cottage is most certainly a Lake District jewel and we will definitely be returning. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay .

Spacious, light and really well equipped across three floors - this generous 3 double bedroom + accomodation would suit a variety of guest configurations. The outside space was an extra bonus. Situated in a lovely location with views across to the fells on all sides. We arrived by train and travelled everywhere on foot and by bus - the local infrastructure is amazing. On-road parking directly in front of the house. This accommodation is situated in a very quiet residential area.
