Kleines Landhaus Ulverston

Woodside is a lovely, warm and deceptively spacious cottage. Six of us spent Christmas here and we found the cottage to be perfect for our needs. Nicely decorated for the festivities and no trouble cooking Christmas dinner in the well equipped kitchen. Brian and Alison are very thoughtful hosts and we would definitely recommend a stay at Woodside.

The cottage was beautifully clean and had everything we needed for a week away. There was loads of information on local activities. It’s set in a quiet location but is great for walks and a good base for being able to drive to see all of the lakes. We would definitely stay again!

Brian & Alison keep a lovely holiday cottage with everything you could need; loads of helpful information about where to go and what to see, great arrival instructions, & beautifully appointed. The log burner made it even cosier as did the welcome tea tray.

We used the cottage as a base to explore the southern Lake District, walking at Helvellyn, Scafel Pike and Hard Knott Pass, the western shore of Windermere, and Coniston including the Tarn Hows.

We very much enjoyed your selection of games (Read my Lips caused much hilarity!) as we spent most evenings in, although we did eat out at the Swan at Newby Bridge and the Cuckoo Brow Inn in Far Sawry, both very enjoyable.

Thank you for a great stay. We’ll be back another time with so much more to explore.

First impressions were excellent. A very well equipped property, clean and charming. Although dogs allowed, there was no evidence of ‘dogginess’ other than the bowl! Always a slight concern when booking as a non dog owner.

From the time of booking the owners input was excellent with good recommendations of places to visit and local walks.

It was good that you could walk to Lakeside and access the boats and train without needing a car. However, Lakeside hotel is quite expensive and there are far better pubs and eateries further afield.

The walk to High Dam was well worth it for the scenery and views.

The only slight disappointment was that the outside space at the cottage does not receive the late afternoon and early evening sunshine, as this space is the thoroughfare for the end cottage.

However, this would not stop us from booking again.

We had an excellent time at Woodside cottage. The cottage is well appointed and in very good condition. Six of us stayed in the cottage including two children and everyone had enough space. We used the cottage as a base to explore the area; even though we were there for a week we really only touched the tip of the iceberg in terms of things to do. We appreciated being close to places but not in them and did not feel there was too much traffic for example where we were. Brian and Alison Smith of Woodside Cottage Lakes were very helpful to make sure that everything was in order and that our stay went smoothly. We certainly would come back next time we come to the Lake District.
