This former coach house is ideally located just under a mile from Windermere in the small hamlet of The Common. It’s a brilliant home to make your own with a small group of friends or immediate family. The Common is a quiet collection of houses, but everything guests need in terms of amenities is available in Windermere – there are plenty of pubs, restaurants and cafes there too. Of course, one big draw to the area is the stunning Lake Windermere, offering the most picturesque of backdrops for a guest’s holiday.

To enter the property, go through the front door into a small conservatory with comfortable seating. It's a great area for a relaxing read and an ideal place to get those muddy boots off after a day on the nearby fells. On the ground floor, there are two charming bedrooms. The first, a king-size, is a light room with an en-suite shower room. The airy second bedroom has two single beds and is delightfully furnished. Also on this floor, there’s the family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. Upstairs is the living room situated so guests can enjoy those long-reaching views towards the fells – also shown on the picture above the wood burner. With dual-aspect windows and views, this is a light-flooded comfortable living area with lovely, comfortable seating set in front of the wood burner – the perfect place for relaxing on chilly evenings after a day's activities. This room is open-plan to enjoy dining and is perfect for meals together after exploring the Lake District National Park. Just off the living area is the kitchen, which has everything guests need for their stay.

Also on the first floor, there’s a delightful balcony space with a table and chairs, perfect for a morning coffee or evening beverage. Guests may even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a deer in the adjoining field.

A very comfortable cottage in a peaceful location - we had a fabulous week with fantastic weather. The road to the cottage is quite narrow - we are used to that, but some people might not be, and there are a couple of deep potholes to avoid in a couple of places.

The house was in a lovely spot with a bit of a view to the hills beyond. The sky at night is unpolluted by lights and we were lucky enough to spot the planet Venus which was wonderful. Windermere is a good place to be based and from the cottage there are lots of walks - details are in the house information folder. We definitely recommend Spring Cottage as a good place to stay.

A very comfortable and extremely well equipped cottage - a home from home. The information folder was very informative and once we had adjusted the storage heater settings, as advised, there was no need to use the log burner for heating. A joy to return to after cold winter walks.

It's absolutely perfect - if you're looking for a holiday cottage in the lake district that sleeps 4 and you're fine with 2 bedrooms, you really can't do better. It's 5 mins from Windemere (where the supermarket is!) but a world away tucked in fields up a lane off the main road. It's on the M6 side of the Lake District, but it's within a 15 minRead more drive of Windemere and Ambleside so lovely and central. And the Lake District is so beautiful that even if you have to drive an hour around a mountain to get to where you want to go, so what?
