Situated in Windermere, overlooking Queens Park, Laurel Cottage has stylish rooms which all come with smart tv.

The bed and breakfast is set in a Victorian house built of local stone in the 1890s; it has been modernised to offer up-to-date comforts, but has retained its original character.

Our hosts were very friendly and attentive, dealing with our needs without isse. The beds were super comfortable, and we felt very relaxed here. Breakfast was well run and well cooked. We especially loved the sound of the stream at the side of our room that helped us to sleep well!

The spacious holiday home comes with 3 bedrooms, a TV and a fully equipped kitchen that provides guests with a dishwasher and an oven. Towels and bed linen are featured in the holiday home. The accommodation offers a fireplace.

Easy check in/check out with lock box. Nice terrace house within a 8-10 minute walk of Windermere centre. Living areas, whilst compact, were suitable for our group of 6 - 3 adults, 3 children (although only dining chairs for 4). Good sized bedrooms, 2 with smart TVs which provided flexibility when the kids wanted to watch something else. Large family bathroom and small en-suite. Nice modern well kempt furnishings and decoration. Kitchen well equipped incl dual oven, dishwasher, washing machine, Nespresso machine etc (although addition of microwave would be good). Log burner (need to buy logs yourself). Excellent central heating and hot water. Small courtyard garden. I was worried about parking as there is no designated space, only street parking but this was not a problem - we parked easily outside the house at different times of the day. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you.

    The kitchen was fantastic and very up to date. The location was brilliant just far enough out of the village so it wasn't busy. The hot tub and sauna was a great added extra and easy to use with the instructions. The cottage was cosy and definitely warm enough. Lovely big back garden overlooking the woods. Massive TV to watch at night. Big drive to park a few cars out. It's all round fantastic place will definitely return.

    Our stay was absolutely delightful there was everything that we required in the lodge. It was a home from home that was luxury and immaculate everything was so meticulously organised. We really enjoyed the hot tub also it was first class. It was really nice being at the lodge at night where you felt really cosy inside. The team at the reception were also extremely helpful and friendly. Thank you for making our family spring break special at the Lake District.
