Guests say
Guests have had a delightful experience at Maple - Woodland Cottages, praising its spaciousness, cleanliness, and the hot tub as a highlight. The peaceful location and proximity to Bowness are appreciated, though some noted the walk back is uphill. The property is well-equipped for large groups, with thoughtful touches like local treats enhancing the stay.
Cleanliness
The property is consistently described as clean, with one mention of spotlessness and faultless cleanliness. However, a single review mentioned a need for a more thorough cleaning, citing dead insects and cobwebs, which slightly impacts the score.
Location
The location is generally praised for its tranquillity and proximity to Bowness and Lake Windermere. Some guests mentioned a pleasant walk to the town, while others noted the convenience of taxis for the return trip uphill. The scenic surroundings contribute positively to the experience.
Comfort
Comfort is highlighted with the cottage being described as spacious and well-furnished. The presence of a hot tub adds to the comfort level. However, a few guests mentioned small en suite facilities and a lack of cooking utensils for large groups, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities
Facilities are generally well-received, with special mentions of the hot tub and well-equipped kitchen. However, there are comments about the need for more ovens and better cooking facilities for large groups, as well as minor maintenance issues like squeaky doors and a lack of recycling bins.
Thoughtfulness
Guests have noted thoughtful gestures such as local treats on arrival, which add a personal touch to their stay. While these gifts are warmly received, it's important to note that such extras, while delightful, may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
This outstanding 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 glimpses of the local wildlife on display. A great location in the very heart of the Lake District National Park to enjoy a break with family and friends, simply relax in the hot tub and take in the beautiful surroundings. This well-equipped and welcoming cottage offers a well thought out layout, featuring a spacious sitting room with picture windows to take advantage of the far-reaching views, a large screen TV and for those cold wintry nights a cosy woodburning stove. A modern, well-equipped kitchen with open plan dining area and an adjoining utility area provide all you need to enjoy a wonderful meal with family and friends. 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 family bathroom with an inviting shower and bath for relaxing in. From the ground floor living areas there is access to the 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, famous Coniston with the magnificent peaks of Wetherlam and the Old Man of Coniston to name but a few, as well as the magical Tarn Hows area. All the facilities of Bowness-on-Windermere are a short drive or a longer walk from Maple 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. Discover picturesque local walks along footpaths bordering the site, including the Dales Way which runs by the golf club and Crook and Staveley and for the more adventurous walks across to Cartmel Fell. Further afield walk to Brant Fell which provides stunning views over Lake Windermere and its surrounding fells, including the Langdales and Crinkle Crags which are some of the most outstanding challenges in this wonderful area. A delightful cottage in a beautiful area, ideal for family and friends to share those special moments experienced in this premier holiday destination.
