Fantastic house, with great location in the forest and close to the lack. The house if well set out to allow for privacy even if you have a full house. An area for the kids to play TV games on one TV, whilst the parents can watch something else in the other room....and if anyone wants to sit outside on the deck, two perfect spaces to sit outside and relax.

A wonderful stay!

We had a great time staying at The Cedars. The house looked great on the pictures but blew us away when we saw it in real life. Very spacious and a wonderful stay for a celebration with friends/family. Very luxurious.

A beautiful appointed property, I have stayed with friends and also as a family party and each time it’s just perfect! Large enough to have your space whilst also working well with the open plan kitchen and lounge. Great communication from owner, nothing is ever too much trouble.

Fabulous private spacious house

Lovely property hidden away in a gorgeous forested area on the shores of Windermere close to a lake district town centre. Spacious, clean, comfortable. We had a summer stay so weather conditions warm but there was a stove and heating. Suitable for energetic primary school age kids. Would stay again, happy with it.

Lovely house in quite location

Great house and well appointed with lots of bedroom space. Kitchen a bit small for 10 adults but expect it would not be a problem for families. Access to lake windermere was amazing and it felt very private. A few problem with upstairs shower but maintenence person turned up immediately. Would stay again

Great house, perfect location

Lovely spacious house and well equipped. Excellent communication from Lois prior to our stay. The location is wonderful, we saw lots of wildlife from the house and enjoyed walks and cycles straight from the door. Close enough to Ambleside to nip in for some groceries or a takeaway, yet feels secluded and private at the house. Comfortable beds, very clean, modern bathrooms, excellent utility room. Highly recommended.

Adventure and relaxation

5 couples and 2 children stayed for a week of adventure and relaxation. the accommodation was fabulous and suited us perfectly, especially the ease of letting all of us to eat and sit together. The bedrooms were great. Most impressive was the location. We swam, kayaked, paddle boarded, ran, mountain biked, climbed all from the front door. And then we relaxed. in front of the fire. A brilliant family adventure holiday.

Fun at The Cedars

Lovely property in forestry setting and short walk to the lake. Roomy with good seating and two televisions making it perfect for a large family with children. Wood burning stove and a well equipped kitchen, and nice, clean bedrooms. Utility room very warm and great for drying clothing and wet suits.Host very approachable. A bit muddy with puddles outside front door but understandable in the setting of the Lake District!

Yearly get together of 10 ladies

Very comfortable place to stay with plenty of everything in the kitchen. The BBQ and outside areas weren’t very clean. Despite this it was overall a fantastic place to stay. Superb view 2 mins from the property and plenty of trails. The 505 bus will pick up with a hand signal and drop off at the property

Great Property

The property and location were perfect for our family. Lots of space to get together, lovely views, warm, clean and comfortable nights. Super to be so close to the Lake and nature. House overall well equipped. A larger fridge and freezer in the Utility Room would be appreciated. Also hooks in there to hang wet walking clothing and a rack to dry shoes. Everyone enjoyed their stay. Thankyou Lois.

Beautiful House

We stayed over Christmas in this wonderful house, which is beautifully presented. It is modern with everything you need for a wonderful holiday. With enough bedrooms for everyone and plenty of space. A lovely setting with wildlife all around - we saw deers and squirrels which the kids loved. The house is a real haven away from it all. Just a short walk to the lake and so very peaceful. Not far into Ambleside and close to the Drunken Duck for a fab lunch or dinner! Lois is also a great host and very communicative. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous getaway in a quiet location

We had a fabulous few nights over New Year. Everything about the house is beautiful. It is finished to a high end and has everything you will need and all mod cons. The location is perfect too! A stone's throw from Lake Windermere and nestled in quiet woodland. We saw and heard plenty of wildlife whilst there. You are straight out onto beautiful walks and only a few minutes drive to Ambleside. There were 6 adults and 2 teens and we were more than comfortable. Will definitely return!
