Pinewood Cottage is a gorgeous three-bedroom holiday cottage, half a mile from Lakeside, home to the Lakes Aquarium, the Haverthwaite Railway and the southern Pier for Windermere Cruise boats with sailings to Bowness and Ambleside.

The property used to house the workers of the adjacent 19th Century Bobbin Mill, which is now an interesting museum to visit but has since become a wonderful holiday home for up to six guests.

Entry to the holiday cottage takes you into the spacious, beautiful kitchen with a large central dining table. If you aren't eating out at one of the many lake district pubs, cafes or restaurants, this is an excellent space for family or friends to gather and cook up a storm while discussing the day's activities.

Off the kitchen is the spacious living room with dual aspect windows, comfy sofas, an internet-enabled TV, and a log-burning stove - perfect for the chiller months, although there is gas central heating throughout.

Upstairs are three lovely bedrooms: two standard doubles, a king-size double, and the modern family bathroom.

Outside is a fenced patio area with a table and chairs; if you fancy alfresco dining, this is ideal! Pinewood Cottage also benefits from a private double garage, so you can securely store your bicycles or hang up your walking gear.

Pinewood Cottages is perfect as a central base to explore the wider Lake District areas, including Windermere, Hawkshead, Coniston and Ulverston.

Pinewood cottage is so thoughtfully and beautifully designed with luxury and comfort in mind. The beds and sofas were very comfortable and we very much appreciated the cosy log burner after a beautiful, but rather wet walk. The kitchen is superbly equipped and a real delight to cook and eat in. We really enjoyed discovering this part of the Lakes, with so much to do but without the crowds. Waking up to birdsong was a wondeful bonus. We would highly recommend Pinewood cottage and the surrounding area.

Great cottage decorated and stocked to a high standard. As a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenage boys) plus one dog, the cottage served us very well. A great location for exploring. The surrounding areas. The cottage hosts were very helpful with recommendations of local restaurants, walks etc. Some really great places to visit within driving distance - The Swan Hotel, The Huntsman, Grizedale. As well as all the walks from the doorstep! You could walk to the local pub - Lakeside Hotel - but it is a busy road with no footpath. Recommendations to improve the cottage would be to install a blackout blind in the bedroom next to the bathroom. The cottage is directly on the road so the lights from the cars shone in to the bedroom at night. The pillows and mattress in the same room perhaps also need replacing. The other two bedrooms were fantastic and very comfortable. Our only negative comment would be that it can be quite noisy with traffic.

Owner Reply: Dear Guest, thank you for your comments they were very helpful. We are so pleased that you found the cottage to be ‘decorated and stocked to a high standard.’ With regard to your bedding comment I want to ensure you that all bedding was replaced last year. This included high quality Emma mattresses and new pillows. We do inspect bedding during every clean to ensure that we provide continued excellence for every guest. We would love to have you visit again. Sandra and Tony

Lovely cottage, very enjoyable stay. Would love to go again it was just what we needed. A couple of pointers to which would have made us rate it 5 stars; 1. Not enough cleaning products for the duration of our stay. We were provided with one thumb sized bottle of washing up liquid and 3 dishwasher tablets for an entire week. 2. Hot water was temperamental. Would go cold quickly. Not enough to run a bath. 3. Advertised voucher for spa use but unclear where these vouchers where or how to use them. 4. Spa itself was inconveniently located to actually use. 5. Pets not allowed upstairs. Bathroom was situated upstairs so unable to wash dog after a hike. Wouldn't have booked if i was aware of this prior to booking.

Owner Reply: Dear Matthew, thank you for your comments. We are delighted that you would like to visit Pinewood Cottage again, you would be most welcome. I would just like to inform you that the cleaning pack provided is simply a complimentary guest starter pack for guests who may not have had the opportunity to shop before arrival. Apologies for any misunderstanding. With regard to your hot water comments we had the hot water inspected following your visit but could not recreate the fault that you pointed out, we will continue to monitor this. Instructions for the Health Centre are clearly outlined in the guest information folder but we have tweaked them since your comment to make them even clearer. Sorry if you missed the instructions. We look forward to having you back again. Sandra and Tony
