A lovely cottage right in the heart of Windermere. We had a great week in the lakes and Nu-Holme was at the centre of everywhere we wanted to be. Most places to visit were only 30 - 40 minutes away. The parking permit was a great addition and we got parked close to the house most days. Would definitely stay here again.

The cottage is well situated but unfortunately there were too many problems with appliances within the cottage that really impacted the enjoyment of our holiday. The oven door did not close so affected cooking time, the freezer door seal did not work and we returned to defrosted food and a puddle of water on floor but the worst was the shower. The temperature control was obviously not working as it fluctuated between freezing cold and scalding hot. I would strongly advise not letting a child use it
