  An excellent and well laid-out cottage in what must be one of the most beautiful areas of the Lakes. It was interesting waking up to sheep on the front lawn most days! We had to be careful letting our dog out for his constitution, the only downside of not having a separated garden. Most conveniences provided, we cooked a few nights with no problems at all. Lovely soft water. Good, comfortable beds, I slept for England! Comfortable settees too, for when it was too wet to go out (which happens here a lot apparently!). Residential neighbours on one side who were friendly and welcoming (most of the row are rentals). Only a short 10 mins drive to Ambleside for plenty to do if walking isn't your thing (though why come to the Lakes then?). Shame the weather wasn't better, but can't be helped. One of the few cottages I've visited that I would DEFINATELY come back to. The local shop was useful.

  Beautiful cottage in a great location with restaurants and pubs in easy reach after a hard days walking.

  The cottage is very well equipped with all the tools necessary for comfort and cooking if you need to. There is a drying cabinet for wet clothes and boots which came in very handy after we experienced some very wet days and marshy ground on the days out walking. The dogs had all the comfort of home, we took their own bed and lots of throws for the furniture and they settled in very well. Beware that there are sheep nearby in the field which is fenced off and the 10 acre grounds are pretty and wild with lots of nettles that caused some feet irritation so take piriton for the dog/s for the walk in the gardens. All in all a lovely experience, we were left to do our own thing by the host and we had a lovely time. We would not hesitate to return and recommend the location highly for anyone seeking a holiday in a stunning location.

  We had a wonderful week staying at Winder Ghyll in May.

  The location of the cottage is ideal for exploring the Lakes, and it was great to be so close to Ullswater and Pooley Bridge. The Winder Cottages site itself is beautiful with unbeatable views of the surrounding countryside. It is wonderful for wildlife lovers too! From the comfort of the cottage, we saw red squirrels feeding and playing around the tree mere metres away, flashes of a stoat scurrying past the window, and a wonderful array of birds. We also spent enjoyable evenings sitting out in the garden area, watching and listening to tawny owls in the wooded area til long after sunset. The cottage has pretty much everything you need, and the welcome biscuits were a lovely surprise! We would definitely recommend this place to others and would love to return ourselves!

  Lovely bright, airy cottage for a home from home stay.

  Great location for exploring the Lake District. The kitchen has everything you need, beds and pillows comfy, great pressure in the showers and nice big towels. Drying cupboard is a great bonus so you don't have to think about your boots and coats being damp for the next day! Outside table and chairs and umbrella if you get the weather for alfresco dining (luckily, we did) Sofas comfy but did tend to slip off when relaxing!! The gardens are lovely for a stroll and very picturesque, a great grass area for playing games if you have the energy after exploring the area! If we were to be very picky we would say the addition of a couple of board games would be a bonus. We are hoping to return to the area again and would have no hesitation on staying here again, thank you.

  Skiddaw, as part of a 4 unit holiday accommodation is one of the best of the many cottages we have stayed in across the UK.

  Spotlessly clean, very spacious, comfortable, quality fittings and fully equipped, this cottage takes fabulous advantage of lovely views with it's "upside down" accommodation. The eco friendly credentials are are impressive and the massive grounds for Jen, our dog, to wander, were icing on the cake. Add to this a quiet but great location for the north and western Lakes, we can unreservedly recommend Southwaite Green holiday accommodation. The only improvement would be if there was an information folder, particularly for recycling/waste, explanation of the functioning of the heating and suggestions for walks, activities etc. We enjoyed an excellent week's holiday in Skiddaw, thank you very much.
