Lovely little cottage, very well presented, clean and warm. Kitchen well equipped with everything necessary and lots of cutlery and crockery. Comfy lounge with plenty of space to spread out and watch a good film after being out and about all day. Beds all very comfortable and everyone slept well. Nice big bath, which we didn't use, and two showers,Read more which were easy to use and had good pressure - watch though as water runs very hot. Around 5mins walk to main street leading to lots of different shops and restaurants and about 10mins to the lake. Have not been to this part of the UK for many years and very much enjoyed our short break to The Lakes. Hide

We had a lovely 2 week stay at the cottage. Very cosy and welcoming, the wood burner was a real plus during the colder nights. Great bonus of dedicated parking, while the property is minutes walk of Bowness, which was brilliant for us as we normally stay in more rural properties.

Little Close is the best holiday cottage we have stayed in in the UK. The location is great - quiet but within walking distance of the shops, cafes bar etc. The house itself is tastefully decorated throughout and homely. We loved the kitchen opening onto the patio for summer. The cottage was well equipped. The owners have thought of every little dRead moreetail and comfort. Mr Martin was extremely helpful with the few questions I had. We would highly recommend this cottage. Hide

Really lovely the house, well decorated, kitchen had all we needed. Games and xbox were additional bonus especially when you coming with kids and the weather is not what you've hoped for. Its just a few steps from the town centre, probably 10-15min walls downhill to the pier. Parking spot just behind the house. Can absolutely recommend this cottageRead more and definitely will be back here. Hide

Little Close is one of the loveliest places Ive ever stayed. Its incredibly cosy, beautifully decorated and spacious. Theres ample storage available, the kitchen, bathrooms and all other common areas are well equipped and have everything you could possibly need available (including a very good range of board games I might add!), and it genuinely feRead morelt like a home away from home. Location wise, you couldnt be closer to the centre of Bowness which is amazing for walking in and getting around, but the house remains so quiet - you wouldnt even know you were that close. If you need a peaceful, comfortable and all around lovely break away I couldnt recommend somewhere more. Its definitely somewhere Im coming back to! Hide
