Beech - Woodland Cottages, Cumbria | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About Beech - Woodland Cottages

This premier Lakeland cottage is set amongst beautiful woodlands on a high promontory on the edge of Bowness-on-Windermere. As you enter this hidden glade, the many delights of this Lakeland retreat will unfold, with mature trees, fir, bracken and the occasional wildlife on display.

An ideal location to get away from it all and enjoy a break with family and friends, simply relax in the hot tub and take in the beautiful surroundings. This bright and welcoming cottage offers a lovely sitting room with picture windows to take advantage of the far-reaching views.

Enjoy the cosy woodburning stove and stylish well thought out contemporary furnishings. A modern, well-equipped kitchen with open plan dining area and an adjoining utility area provide all you need to enjoy some wonderful home cooking.

The ground floor also contains a bedroom with a king-size luxurious bed and a modern en-suite bathroom, a hallway and useful cloakroom. Upstairs the cottage boasts a further four bedrooms, two with en-suites and a superb house bathroom with an inviting shower and bath for relaxing in.

From the sitting room and the dining area doors lead out to a fabulous decked area housing a luxurious hot tub, an ideal location to watch the sun dip below the trees and enjoy a well-deserved tipple. Less than a mile away is the wonderful idiosyncratic and charming Windermere Golf Club, a most welcoming club.

A short walk takes guests down to the lake ferry where a short 'cruise' gives access to the far shores of Hawkshead and the magical Tarn Hows area. All the facilities of Bowness-on-Windermere are a short drive or a longer walk from Beech Cottage and the not to be missed attractions include the hand-made chocolate shop and the wonderful walks along the Bowness promenade where the many cruise ships run down the Lake to Ambleside.

Beech - Woodland Cottages Reviews

We had a wonderful stay at Beech Cottage, the cottage itself was very comfortable and cosy with the fire. The kitchen was well stocked with utensilspots etc. The owners had taken on previous feedback and there is soap in all bathrooms. The showers were very powerful which was great, there was always enough hot water for us all to shower in the morning. The location was ideal for exploring surrounding towns and national trusts, as well as being able to explore around the cottage. The fire alarm was set off by the neighbouring cottage the first 2 nights but this was quickly managed and someone was sent down to investigate. The free firewood was a kind gesture for the inconvenience. Thank you for a relaxing stay and we look forward to visiting again,

Loved our stay, 4 out of 5 stars. Positives The hot tub was great. The setting was stunning with fantastic views and lots of wildlife to observe. The ducks were fun coming to visit you and even having a walk around the kitchen. The cottage was lovely and comfortable. Beds were great, very comfy. It was quiet apart from one evening when one cottage broke the rules and were noisy in the hot tub and partying till early hours there's always one ignoramus. Internet WiFi was generally good 30 Mbps but dropped out now and then. Reconnecting resolved the issue. Negatives There was mould growing in some of the bathrooms and one of the bath plugs was broken. The fact that you pay 1.6 to 2.5k prices and then are expected to gather the linen and towels holidays are to get away from housework. I feel it's a bit cheeky to be asking as that's what you hire staff to do. Even a Travelodge doesn't expect you do strip linen, however a minor annoyance and didn't take long. Minor criticisms but overall fantastic Thank you

Samantha

The property had everything we needed, we all had a wonderful time and made memories that we will treasure.

Katherine

Lovely cottage well appointed kitchen and comfy beds. Cottage has a greta view at the back. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great position just outside Bowness

A lovely, quiet, comfortable cottage with a glorious outlook from the large picture window, suitable for a multigenerational family holiday. Located within walking distance of Bowness for the fit and able and with easy access to the fells. The hot tub is a real bonus. It kept the youngsters happy. This is our second visit to The Oaks and we can really recommend it.

Charmain

Beautiful place to stay with family. Definitely recommended and planning to go back again next holiday

Christine

We had a lovely stay at Beech Woodland. It was a family celebration with ages ranging from 1 to 62 and it suited us all. There was plenty of room and a good layout. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We would stay again.

Overall we have a lovely stay. Couldnt fault the cottage in anyway, it was clean and spacious. Would definitely recommend. Cant wait to rebook

Thomas Geoffrey

The photos on the website didnt do it justice!

Great accommodation, this was my 2nd time to this cottage. Decor is modern but keeping with the surroundings. cleanliness is brilliant! Hottub is a massive plus and inclides extra towels. Nice touch with fairy liquid, dishwasher tabs etc thank you again. Only downside is Wifi isn't great and a telly in each room would be better. Would definitely return

We have just spent the weekend in Beech cottage as a group of 10 friends and it was the perfect accommodation. The cottage is much bigger than it looks in the photos and the views are even better in person! It is so well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Car is a must for the location but only a few minutes drive into Windermere. No complaints at all. Thankyou!

Jessica

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage had everything we needed and more and staff were very generous and helpful. We really appreciated the early and late check in times we got when we arrived. Would definitely come back again.

Beech cottage has it all literally. Everything you could wish for will be in this cottage. Excellent stay.

Fantastic cottage. Lots of attention to detail paid in the decoration and furnishing. Everything feels very comfortable, and looks lovely. Looked even better than the pictures. Really enjoyed the hot tub, a good size, and the views are brilliant. Will look to come back! The only complaint we had was with the windows. They're very drafty, so the living room is always quite chilly, even with the heating on.

Michelle

Lovely lodge in need of some TLC , inside carpets were dirty in bedrooms and under cushions of sofa were very dirty with bits of crisps n debris from previous guests . The sofa should be replaced as cushions were sinking and very worn . Beds were comfortable and showers bathrooms were clean . Outside area was clean and tidy . Not sure Id pay same again as stayed in much better lodges for same money.

Beech cottage was finished to a very high quality. It was a beautiful property and all the family, 6 adults and 2 grandchildren, were exceptionally pleased with the accommodation. The play area outside the cottage was smaller than expected but the children made friends with others in nearby cottages and all had great fun. The only downside was the over the bath shower in the downstairs bedroom which meant that my husband found showering extremely difficult but in fairness to the owners the bedroom was not advertised as an accessible room. Otherwise this was a wonderful break and an opportunity to make memories with our whole family.

Beautiful house, comfy beds and well equipped with everything you need. Lovely views over the countryside from the hot tub. Located in a fabulous part of the country with so many things to do in the area..We had a fantastic family holiday. Would definitely recommend.Thank you.

The cottage was perfect for our stay with 6 adults and 2 children. It was very clean, had comfortable beds, en suite facilities were ideal, kitchen equipment was very good. Location was good with only a short drive into Bowness. We would definitely return to this cottage in the future.

Charlene

Great cottage in lovely grounds. We had a fantastic holiday for my daughter's 13th birthday. Would definitely return and will recommend to family and friends.

We had 10 adults in this cottage & sleeping

Beautiful cottage, great location and views

Amelia

This is our 3rd visit to Oakes cottages and we have again had a lovely holiday. The cottages are really clean, comfortable lots of space and set in beautiful woodland surroundings. Bowness is a 20 minute walk or 5 minutes drive away. The team are friendly and helpful, any enquiries or a general chat the staff team are happy to offer help and advice. The hot tub is perfect after a busy day visiting places in lakes, and the log burner kept us really warm in the evenings. I would definitely recommend staying here and hopefully we will be able to visit again soon.

Graham

Fantastic week staff were helpful and friendly would book again

This is a lovely facility and well kitted out. The welcome pack was a nice touch too. The only issue was the oven. It might need servicing as it didnt function well and didnt reach the temperature it was set to. Often we were cooking much longer than ordinarily needed. It didnt detract from our stay too much but was v frustrating. We would stay again. Thankyou

Fabulous cottage rooms were lovely cleanliness was first rate. Everything there to make a perfect family christmas loved the christmas tree and welcome pack very thoughtful had a fabulous stay

Beech is a lovely, comfortable, clean and well equipped holiday home. We enjoyed the hot tub immensely. Would recommend the house.

We had a fantastic time, the cottage was lovely and just in the right place. Spent the days walking then relaxing in the hot tub in the evenings. Was great to spend a week away with friends.

Roland

Radiators need balancing and bleeding some hot some cold also wifi keeps dropping off

The cottage was fantastic and had everything you could ask for and more. Great location and customer service was spot on from start to finish.

We stayed here from 1892020 21092020. We could not fault this and a short walk to the lake was a bonus ,would stay here again no problem.

A wonderful well equipped cottage with hot tub and open views from the lounge. Lovely and clean, we would definitely book again.

Michael

We Had a fantastic stay. The house was in a lovely location with walks direct from the door. Other activities were available nearby. We ordered several of the food boxes which were waiting for us on our arrival which were very good and soon disappeared!! We would love to return and highly recommend this cottage.

All of us had an amazing time it was a home it didnt feel like someone elses cottage the comfort was amazing even the staff member who kept refilling the hot tub we got in before he removed the hose and he checked on us making sure the hot tub was okay and then even when the snow landed on the Monday he even wished us a safe journey the cottage has everything you could want, and from the information we were supplied they do cater for any needs that you put out there overall 5 place and only a 5 minute drive to Windermere great views from the windows!

Andrew

A superb lodge in beautiful settings.

One or two housekeeping issues on arrival but excellent break all of the party ... One or two housekeeping issues on arrival but excellent break all of the party really enjoyed it second time there and will book again

Ashley

The cottage was spotless and the staff were extremely friendly and not worried about us playing a bit of music. The views were outstanding and in such a good location. Will definitly be coming back.

Thoroughly enjoyed our week at Beech cottage to celebrate my wifes 60th Birthday, our concerns about being large enough to accommodate a family of 10 were unfounded as there was more than enough space both inside and out to give everyone their own space whenever needed. The location was fantastic, just far enough out of town for peace and quiet but great exercise for the walk up and down into Bowness enjoying the beautiful countryside on the way. The beds were all so comfy and the bathrooms were all of a very good standard with brilliant showers . We had a wide variety of wildlife at the cottage including Red Deer, which the children loved to see. All in all a fabulous holiday and will definitely return in future .

Zeynah

Lovely place to stayy, friendly people, very good experince would recommend

Christine

Beautiful cottage and location. Cottage was stunning with every little detail completed. Location was peaceful and views were lovely. Having the hot tub was a bonus.

Stephen

Property was clean and modern everything as expected. Only thing I would have liked to see is a play area for children.

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look". Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project. The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish! Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
