Peony Cottage Reviews

Anthony

Second visit this year. Great property, location and facilities, friendly helpful hosts. I will definitely book again.

Fantastic cottage with everything you need. Private and snug. Great hot tub, lovely hosts.

Angela

Beautiful cosy cottage. Great location with Lots of walks on the door step and only a 5min walk to ferry & hotel pub restaurant . Fantastic hot tub to relax in after a days walking in the Lake District

Darren

Lovely cottage, just as described. Was our first time to the lakes and Jules was able to give us a few hints and tips especially local walks. The cottage had everything we needed and a lovely hot tub after a days walking.

A delightful, peaceful and relaxing little cottage plus the perfect location to access lovely walks The cottage had everything we required and is furnished to a high standard. The hot was a relaxing end to perfect trips out. The property owners were extremely kind and thoughtful.

We had an exceptional time at Peony Cottage. The Cottage was very clean and modern and had good facilities. Well thought out and comfortable. The kitchen although small was well stocked in terms of utensils etc, we had taken our air fryer so we were happy with this. All other rooms were very spacious and airy. The bed was so comfortable and the bedding a high quality which we appreciated. Hot tub a nice extra but weather didn't mean we could use as much as would of liked, maybe a cover to be added? We stay in a lot of self catering cottages each year and this was one of highest spec so far. Happy customers.

Absolutely loved our stay at Peony Cottage. Lovely and quiet. Very clean and super comfy. Hot tub was perfect All the facilities great Bottle of Prosecco, tea, coffee and biscuits very much appreciated Owners next door were very welcoming Thankyou for a lovely stay

Daniel

Absolute jem of a place! !! We loved our stay very clean and tidy lovely little place and the hosts were very welcoming,nice little walk to the lake and nearby hotel for drinks. Would recommend for a quite very chilled out little break.

Norman

Beautiful and stylish. Great surroundings close to lovely villages and Lakeside ferry. Hot tub perfect.

What a great find Peony cottage was, an ideal location for exploring the southern lakes. Walks from the cottage are ample for a full week. The cottage itself has everything you need and is warm and very cozy. A great romantic retreat.

Lovely cottage! Located on the quieter side of Windermere, it is perfect for a nice, relaxing break away from busier Bowness! The cottage itself was spotlessly clean and was very well equipped, with the welcome biscuits and bottle of fizz particularly nice touches! The hot tub is also excellent and, with no light pollution at all, the stars are amazing to view on a clear night There is plenty of good walking on the doorstep of the cottage, without the need to get in the car, and trips to Bowness or Ambleside are easily achieved using the Windermere ferry service, which is only a 10 minute walk from the cottage and which I highly recommend. The Lakeside Hotel & Spa is also only 10 minutes walk away with views across the lake and a small but very good spa! Definitely planning on visiting again. 10 out of 10!!

Had a fantastic week at Peony Cottage! The cottage is very comfortable and clean. They could have tried to make it fit 4 people but making it for 2 is perfect. Had a small issue on arrival that was sorted immediately. Great walks right in the door step and the local area is beautiful. If youre looking for a quiet get away this is the place. Directions given in the welcome email are perfect and had no trouble finding it considering it not visible from the road. Lots of towels and blankets, the welcome tea, Coffey and biscuits were perfect after a long drive. Will definitely be going back in the winter this year. Thanks

Rhianna

Thank you so much, we loved the stay and I would recommend everyone to give Peony cottage ago no matter the time of year. It's very special!

Sophie

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The hot tub was perfect to relax in and the bed was super comfy! A quiet location with plenty of places to visit around the area.

Peony Cottage is idyllic , set in beautiful tranquil woodland. Perfect location to explore the Windermere, Coniston Waters and surrounding villages particularly Hawkshead. You can literally step out the front door and turn right at bottom of drive for the most peaceful walk up to High Dam, stand and listen for a moment and you hear nothing but the sounds of nature. The cottage is everything you want and need, the owners Julie and Alistair have thought of every little detail. The Hot Tub is a real bonus at the end of a long day walking, to relax those weary bones and muscles. We all have are own opinions when giving feedback but please ignore the negative comments some holiday makers have left, the cottage is absolutely perfect for a relaxing break. We will be back as soon as we can. Thank you Julie and Alistair

Absolutely beautiful cottage just a 510 walk down to lakeside where you can catch the boat to Bowness or Ambleside. Hot tub was fantastic with a little seating area. And plenty of room for parking. Only issues we had were the top step into the cottage was loose and standing in it was very dangerous and the oven was a nightmare to use. But we had a very pleasant stay

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location to explore the lake district. 10 mins walk to the ferrytrain and a lovely walk up to High Damn which starts at the cottage. Great hosts and nothing is too much trouble. We will be back. Lisa & Ian

Georgia

Great location with walks on the doorstep and lots of places to visit. You can go from Lakeside on the boat to Bowness which is lovely. We also visited South Walney Nature Reserve and the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway. The cottage is very private and hot tub is great to have. Enjoyed our week in Cumbria enjoying the Lake District before heading further up into Scotland.

Peony cottage was a lovely quiet place to stay. It was fitted out with everything you need and also lovely touches like tea coffee biscuits for when you arrive. Also lovely toiletries in the bathroom. The hot tub was such a luxury and so nice to use after a day out. Within walking distance of Windermere lake for beautiful scenic boat trips. Would highly recommend a stay in this delightful cottage.

Olivia

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights and it was a perfect getaway. The owners were super friendly and helpful and the cottage itself was wonderful. The hot tub is perfect for relaxing in after a long walk and the bed is the comfiest bed ever! Absolutely everything was just perfect about this place. We will definitely be booking again.

Rebecca

Excellent stay, great location. Everything we needed on hand. Owners around the corner and very helpful. Loved all the little extra touches. We will definitely visit again.

Michael

Would absolutely recommend this little cottage, we felt so much at home from the moment we walked through the door. Alistair and Julie really put some effort into making your stay so nice, you get towels provided for the hot tub along with bath robes. There are so many books, games, DVDs and videos for you to use and the bed is soooooo comfy. The hot tub is quite secluded so you can relax. There are numerous instructions for all the appliances and remote controls that if you have any problems you will easily work them out.

Elizabeth

This property is beautifully decorated, so comfy and warm. We had the most wonderful stay thank you.

Giorgia

Me and my boyfriend just had the most amazing stay at peony cottage. The attention to detail from the hosts was amazing and had the most relaxing time! We had everything we needed and more and the treats left us was such a nice touch. The hosts were super generous and kind and we can not wait to come back and stay again. Would highly recommend this cottage!

Had a great week at Peony cottage the owners were friendly and welcoming and had left a generous welcome tray of biscuits and Prosecco! The hot tub was lovely and the cottage was beautifully decorated cottage. Thank you!

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location which has good access to main routes for trips out. Treats were an unexpected surprise. Had no problems with the oven for a quick dinner on our first night. Owners were very friendly and welcoming.

Charlotte

Beautiful cottage, fabulous hosts and amazing location! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and genuinely didn't want to leave! We will no doubt be back again! Get it booked you won't be disappointed!

Katherine

The treats were a pleasant find, thank you. A good all round location for a trip to the lakes & a nice quiet area. Fan was much appreciated in the heatwave, thank you. The kitchen is so tiny you can't prepare meals in it, plus the hob is not user friendly, & takes a long time to heat food up. The sofa slides everywhere when you sit on it, so we had to move a rug from under a table to be able to sit on it. No mention of the use of feathered pillows, duvet & cushions...I am allergic to them, and as a vegan it is unethical. The TV had no signal so unable to watch it, not a problem for us, but something for others to bear in mind. The patio area only consists of a small table and chairs, not much privacy for that, or for the use of the hot tub, especially when the family are dining outside. Cleanliness was not up to standard expected of a holiday cottage. Many cobwebs, dust, and the tiles in the bathroom are grimy with a lot of black grout. The shower head kept falling from the holder, it was not substantial for a cottage of this price, and the extractor fan didn't work. The doors don't close properly, especially the bathroom. A slab at the front entrance was loose causing my partner to slip down the step. And WORST of all was finding someone's glasses in the bed behind the pillow!!!! Disgraceful!! We have left them 'somewhere' to see if the cleaner finds them.

Heather

Overall a lovely cottage, attention to detail, and welcome pack, complimentary toiletries and little treats were very much appreciated. If you're the sort of person who enjoys preparing and eating main meals of an evening, then the kitchenette is tiny! Unfortunately or fortunately, our stay coincided with a very hot spell of weather, so we couldn't make full use of the lovely hot tub, as we were told that the temperature was set by a company with no local control by the owners! Having said all that, the owners couldn't do enough for us, and the cottage is in a wonderful location for all the activities we wanted to do in the southern lakes.

Rachel Anne

A beautiful, luxurious little retreat in a fantastic location to explore the lakes. . Attention to detail to make us feel welcome was lovely x The hot tub, an absolute bonus to soothe aching legs and relax x Sad to leave

Collin

Peony Cottage was a lovely place to stay and in a great location to explore the Lake District. Highly recommend!

A fantastic cottage, comfortable, clean and well equipped. Hot tub was wonderful, very private and wonderful after a long day exploring. 5minute walk to the ferry. Fantastic stay, so much so I didnt want to leave!

Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction. With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

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...
