A BEAUTIFUL CONTEMPORARY COTTAGE SLEEPING FOUR

Bay Tree Cottage is beautifully furnished in contemporary style. With two en-suite bedrooms, the cottage forms part of Windermere’s original schoolhouse, first built in the 17th century. It is well equipped and perfectly located for exploring the local hills and lakes.

With space for walking boots and jackets in the entrance area, once inside you'll find yourself in a modern, perfectly sized open-plan living/kitchen/dining area with a breakfast bar, comfortable leather seating, and patio doors opening onto the garden.

Upstairs, the two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are perfect for smaller families or couple and are beautifully coordinated with quality finishings and art.

Outside, there is a patio area with furniture to enjoy the summer evening

Quiet location not far from bus station train station supermarket and shops. Comfort… clean nicely decorated. Extra touches eg milk water wine on arrival. Enough loo paper and dishwasher tablets tea, coffee and sugar for the week A selection of games and books all linked to the area either by author or content. Would recommend highly. I also liked the local info regarding places to visit, restaurants and walls that was sent to us via email . Very helpful

This is a great place to find in a tourist-packed town. Spacious, nice furnishings, professionally maintained, and well stocked for a vacation rental. Location is hard to beat—tucked away behind a church in a very quiet neighborhood but just a 5-minute walk from the train station. Would return!

One of the nicest and well kitted out airbnb's we've stayed in. Super location very convenient for Windermere. Be aware the driveway is a little narrow.

The property was in the perfect location for places to visit in Windermere. Having 2 ensuites plus downstairs toilet was excellent. It was well equipped in the kitchen department.

It was in an ideal location. Great that we were able to park outside the property. The property was lovely and clean. Very comfortable beds. Very kind of the owners to leave us a bottle of bubbly

Delightful cottage! Exactly how it was described but it was better in person compared to the photos as very high quality interior. Loved the garden space too. No issues at all. Plenty of hot water. Even when we accidentally tripped a fuse and accidentally set off the alarm the out of hours person resolved situation in minutes. Great to be minutes from restaurants and the lake itself. Highly recommend!

The house lived up to our expectations. Very clean and modern in side. We missed the small road leading down to the house so drive slowly and follow the instructions. A fantastic location

Nice house with beautiful garden, good location with parking space. Only downside is the hot water supply which seemed to be cut off at some point in the evening, leaving some of us unable to have shower before going to bed and had to wait until the next morning when the hot water appeared to resume.
