Highly recommend staying here - perfect cottage for two in a wonderful location. The cottage look great in the photographs and they don't actually do it justice! Obviously a lot of care has gone into making it the ideal holiday retreat. Clean, comfortable, homely, very well equipped and ample space for two to relax after days out exploring the area.

Stayed here at the Cranny with my partner for a couple days for a romantic break and we were not disappointed. We were greeted promptly by Andrew who was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and gave us some advice as it was our first time in Windermere. He ensured the room was prepared for us and the heating was set. The Cranny, which was ideally situated on a quiet road a few minutes walk from both Bowness and the centre of Windermere, was a home from home having a cosy, welcoming feel with its red and white theme and a couple rustic features. There were plenty of amenities and thoughtful touches including the fresh milk and cake provided to make our stay just that more memorable. We were both pleasantly surprised with the numerous essentials provided such as oil, salt and pepper and cleaning supplies. Had everything we needed including plenty of dishes and cookware, the cooking facilities comprised of a mini oven/grill with 2 hot plates perfect for cooking up a breakfast. We both enjoyed the addition of a Sky box and a couple board games for relaxing in the evenings after exploring the Lakes. There was plentiful hot water and bathroom amenities which we were thankful for after adventuring in the mountains. All in all we had a brilliant stay and didn’t want to leave, we will definitely be returning!

This is a really lovely place to stay. The location was perfect, it was easy to find and felt like our own little oasis. It was warm and welcoming and had everything you could possibly need including milk which many places dont include and some homemade cakes which were a really nice addition. The bed was comfy, and sky movies was a really nice little unexpected extra. This really is a perfect place to stay.

What a lovely neat clean and tidy cottage, fully equipped, cable tv, digital radio and everything you would want for a great getaway. The host had prepared their own map of local highlights for us to see along with lots of relevant information that was easy to follow. The hosts Andrew and Abigail had prepared the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

Very nice little cottage, clean and everything we needed was there. It's a nice snug cottage, which is perfect for a couple. Lovely chocolate brownies was there on our arrival, which was very tasty, hats off to you if you made them. Milk, coffee etc also there. Would love to come back in there summer months, but great winter break.

Andrew and Abigail were amazing hosts. The Cranny we stayed in was cosy and comfortable and had every facility we needed for our four night stay. Location was perfect, 10 minutes either way to Bowness or Windermere. The plentiful and locally sourced breakfast kept us going for the day and a lovely touch of home made muffins to take with us on our day out.
