    We had a lovely 4 night stay at the cottage over valentine's. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had great facilities including the huge bath which was a pleasure after long walks. Also dog friendly, our Arthur loved seeing out of the cottage windows upstairs. We booked a meal at the local pub (watermill) which was fabulous and dog friendly. Top tip, the local pret cafe next to the BP garage offer too good to go bags for £5 if you have the app, we picked up a selection of sandwiches and salads for our walks which was great value! We shall certainly return in the near future. Photo of Arthur flat out from walking and photo of the local pub food attached!

    Could have done with a little safe and enclosed garden space for letting the dog out.

    The cosiness of the accommodation and it's location for easy access to all places South Lakes

    Nothing to do with the Accomodation but I was a little disappointed with local pub (100 yards up the road). I had visions of a traditional country pub but it was more of a restaurant that also sold beer, Food looked good but we were doing self catering. Beer was excellent (its also a brewery) - but the place just lacked atmosphere, Maybe I am being picky Just a warning. The exit from the property driveway is on a bit of a blind bend so its helpful if your co pilot stands other side of the road and waves you out

    It was quiet, easy to find with the sat nav, clean, comfortable and modern facilities, good internet and easy parking. Host lives next door but we didn have any issues, Great location 5 - 10 min drive from Windemere town and great location to explore the lake district. I had to order some fuses for my car from Amazon. There were collection lockers in the petrol garage 2 minute walk away. - happy days. We stopped in Kendal to get a weeks worth of shopping. Lots of big supermarkets there. But plenty of shops in Windermere and there is a convenience store at the petrol station

    Having to leave 😔

    Quiet wee village, perfectly located to explore the lake district. All amenities at hand! Quirky accomodation, with an extensive history, the upside down living made the most of the view out over the babbling brook, with the ducks swimming up and down.

    We have just stayed at Burnthwaite, it was perfect from start to finish! the property is immaculate with everything there that you need! the bath is perfect after a long walk and has a washer/dryer to wash your muddy clothes! we loved it that much we asked to stay again the following week! we have a dog and the walks around the area were breathtaking for the pooch enjoying the lakes and streams! Linda and Paul were there at the end of the phone if we needed anything at all. we would go back in a heartbeat!

    beautiful location, parking, spotless, all the facilities you needed including extras like tea, coffee etc oh and lovely biscuits. massive bathroom, property was a great size and so cosy but elegant at the same time. authentic country feel. comfortable bed, great linen and a nice big bath. lovely and warm, nice carpets and black out curtains. we cooked in the property and the facilities were all there, even a lovely little dining room to have your food. I couldn’t of imagined it would be so lovely for the price. the owners were so accommodating, allowing for a late check out and letting us have 3 little chiuahahs at the property, we can’t thank them enough.

    My husband and I loved this cottage. My favorite place was the front window nook. I enjoyed reading or watching the birds, sheep or the ducks in the stream. It was a great size for the two of us. Everything we needed. Met Paul briefly and had a lovely chat. We were close by to all the towns. It was such a relaxing trip for us and would highly recommend staying here.

    A cute and cosy property which was decorated and fitted out to a very high standard and had everything we needed for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay . We were close to the heart of the lakes and we managed to explore some new places as well as places we have visited previously.
