Cosy,comfortable cottage
The cottage was warm and comfortable and tastefully furnished. Despite it's proximity to the A6 it was very quiet, especially inside the property. There were no amenities close by, so it was always necessary to get in the car, but that wasn't a problem.
I spent 4 nights last week in the most beautiful place I have ever seen, the property was perfect, so stunning and quiet ..The Cottage was lovely, very nice, clean, comfy and bright🤩.. could easily and lovely stayed much longer.. Of course I will repeat this stay in the same this place again.
Thank you so much Mr & Mrs Graham for your kindness.

Quiet, well equipped cottage in a fantastic location
We stayed at Lily Cottage for a week in the second week of August. Cottage ideally located for exploring the Lake District, and only 5 miles up the road from Kendal, where you can find everything you need to be self sufficient.
The cottage is well equipped, and clean and tidy. The owner Rosyln Flackett and her husband, made us feel really welcome when we arrived. The location is not far from the A6, but is still quiet enough to feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. A river runs past the property, and the gardens are very pretty and well maintained.
Everything is provided for you. There is little or no Mobile signal here, so its great that they offer free WiFi in the properties to enable you to stay in touch with the outside world. If there was one complaint, it would be that the WiFi signal appeared to drop on a regular basis, and eventually found that if you turned wifi off and then on again, it sometimes rectified the problem. Having said that, this place was perfect for our honeymoon retreat. I liked the location as we were away from the crowds, and only a 20/30 minute drive from Windermere and the entrance to the Lakes.
Would highly recommend this location, as it was a home from home, spacious clean and tidy. If and when we return to the lakes, we would definitely stay here again.
We loved the Lilly Cottage ! Very clean and immaculate, the cottage is surrounded by a beautiful garden and river. You can hear the birds while having your breakfast. It is very peaceful, quiet and a perfect place to relax .
We loved it - beautiful scenery, friendly hosts. Could not have asked for more and to top it off the weather was good too.

Perfect
Stunning grounds. Lilly cottage was spotless with so many thoughtful touches that you would forget to bring were there. Wonderful place to stay apart from the dreadful weather that we had. As this is the first time that we have rented a cottage we were very apprehensive but staying in Lilly cottage has certainly given us the incentive to do it again.

Beautifully decorated comfortable cottage on the edge of The Lake District.
A warm welcome from owners Roslyn and John. We felt very well provided for. Extremely comfy bed with modern ensuite including bath and good shower. Well equipped compact kitchen. Comfortable lounge/diner. The cottage is well located on the outskirts of Kendal and the edge of the Lake District about 14 miles from Windermere.

Chill Time
Although we had booked Tulip Cottage, due to a misunderstanding we ended up with Lily Cottage. But I have to say it was beautiful, spotlessly clean and very nicely presented. The owner Ros was very friendly and helpful. I cannot find fault with anything, a lovely peaceful break in beautiful surroundings . We would love to return and this time have Tulip Cottage and its log burner.

A lovely relaxing break in stunning surroundings
We stayed in Lily cottage for 5 days. The cottage was cosy, warm and spotlessly clean. Lots of room and attention to detail such as fresh lilys in the lounge. We couldn't have wished for prettier surroundings, garden was a treat with a river and several bridges, would highly recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful break .

Fabulous location and beautifully presented cottage..
Set in its own well maintained grounds this is a beautifully presented, comfortable cottage with everything you could wish for! The owner's also live on site and were helpful and friendly. The owners had left maps and recommendations of local pubs and restaurants and, of course, the Lake District provided a fantastic back drop to a memorable holiday. Very happy to recommend the cottage and will definitely be visiting again.
