Guests say
Guests are delighted with Woodlands Boutique, particularly praising the cinema room, the property's cleanliness, and its prime location in Windermere. The comfort and modern amenities contribute to a memorable stay, though some minor issues with cleanliness and maintenance were noted.
Most guests found the property to be extremely clean and tidy, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, a few guests mentioned issues with cleanliness, such as moldy coffee filters and greasy cutlery, which slightly impacts the overall impression.
The location is consistently praised for being ideal, with easy access to local shops, restaurants, and the beauty of Lake Windermere. Its proximity to the town centre and quiet neighbourhood is highly appreciated by guests.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the house spacious, with a cosy lounge and well-appointed bedrooms. Some concerns were raised about seating arrangements for larger groups and the warmth in the main bedroom.
The facilities, especially the cinema room, are a highlight for many visitors. The modern kitchen and thoughtful touches like motion-sensing heating controls are well-received. However, some guests noted issues with parking, bathroom locks, and extractor fans.
While many guests did not comment on gifts, a few were disappointed by the absence of a welcome pack, which they had come to expect. It should be noted that such amenities, while appreciated, are not guaranteed with every stay.

Your house is amazing. Cinema room amazing. Very clean. The only negative I would say is that the hot water tap in the kitchen wasn't very hot.

This was our first vacation with our entire family in along time and was perfectly setup for family activities. It was perfectly setup for family activities. We did find the heating system a bit complicate to work, otherwise all other amenities were wonderful.

Kitchen is very well designed! Heating was difficult to work & main bedroom was cold, but the whole house was lovely.
