Our view of Andorra
Property not as well maintained as expected I.e. drainage in baths and showers poor. TV’s not tuned and water supply to baths and shower poor. Cupboard in basement loose and door actually fell off just missing one of us! Socket in bedroom to front of cottage - against toilet wall did not work.

New Years Break
We had a brilliant time staying at Andorra Cottage for a New Year break of 2 families of 4. The location and close proximity to Bowness is perfect and means that so much is in walking distance that we didn’t need to drive. The house is well equipped and the basement room was a massive bonus for our teenagers who loved having their own space. The rooms are of a good size and although the kitchen is on the smaller size, it’s manageable. Alison was a lovely host and we really appreciated her great communication and welcome gift.

Adorable Andora
Great location! Tastefully appointed rooms. Though not our original plan, it was just the two of us staying for the five days. (One couple abruptly ended their stay, before even getting to house,due to contracting COVID.) I made dinner all 5 nights we were there. Booths is a great store. We caught a movie at the Regal and enjoyed the quirkiness of the theater. The bus system allowed us to get everywhere we wanted to go and was so close. Walking around the neighborhood was enjoyable. We were befuddled by the heating system but Alice cleared that up. The only disappointment was the washer and dryer which failed us. We ended up going to a laundromat but have been told we’ll be reimbursed. We never found the “black plastic bags” we used the black bag that was already in the container but did not find another one for the bottles or plastic. We just put them in the trash container outside. I did buy paper napkins and paper towels. The welcome gifts were very appreciated and consumed during our stay. Lovely accommodations. Were we ever to be in Bowness on Windermere, we would certainly want to call Andora our home again. Thank you! .

Great location
Fantastic house with all you need for a break away, good location near to shops, lake etc Really comfy beds with lovely bed linen and a nice large bath towel each, no hand towels though. As long as you don’t mind stairs the shower on the lower level is ok so enough showers if you share. Overall would we stay again - YES

Wonderful cottage in a fantastic location
My husband and I recently stayed at Andorra Cottage with our three young children. The cottage was wonderfully cosy and welcoming, everything we were looking for for our first Windermere holiday. Just a short 10 min walk to Bowness shops and harbourside, and 20 min walk to Windermere. Accommodation was clean and well equipped, check-in was easy and Alison was very responsive, for any queries we had. The road was nice and quiet (as it was off the main street) and the neighbours were very friendly! Would definitely recommend.

Traditional cottage in prime location
Communication with the host was excellent. The property is very traditional and was very well presented. It has a homely feel with lots of nice features. The bedrooms are all a good size and very comfortable. The living room and dining room are a reasonable size but the kitchen is rather small - I’m not sure that 8 adults could be catered for (but there was only 4 of us, so no problem). There are plenty of glasses, crockery and cutlery. We couldn’t get the televisions in the bedrooms to work but this didn’t bother us too much. There is a small well sheltered outdoor area with furniture for when the sun shines. We were able to park right outside the property, free of charge. The town centre is only a 5 minute walk down the hill where there are lots of restaurants and bars. I’m not sure that guests should be expected to strip beds and bag up bedding and towels on departure. This seems to be a Covid hangover, but it wasn’t too much trouble. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

We treated my mother in law to a break away to celebrate her 75th birthday. The cottage is a perfect retreat. The location was great with it being a short walk into the town.

6 adults enjoyed 4 days over New Year. Andorra Cottage is beautiful and well appointed. Ideally located in Bowness and no more than a 5 minute walk to the town centre where you can easily connect with the local bus service to visit other nice towns in this lovely part of England. A great experience enjoyed by all.

Fantastic Stay in a beautiful cottage
We were 3 mums and 5 teenage girls aged 16 years old . The cottage is in a prime location for walking to the shops , restaurants and Windermere. It is very clean including full Covid Sanitization policies . The decor is beautiful and very well homely and bathrooms are modern. Alison the host was always available on the phone for any questions or ideas about where to go to eat etc. All in all a hugely wonderful stay and we would return in a heartbeat.

Beautiful house in excellent location
House was tastefully decorated with good quality furnishings throughout. Alison was very quick to respond to queries and very attentive. House was spacious and as described. We enjoyed our stay very much. We had 6 adults and I imagine the house would be ideal for a family mix as it had a separate basement lounge that could be a room for kids with board games, computer games etc. We had a small issue with hot water to baths and one shower but Alison responded very quickly and because the house has three showers it didnt affect us too much at all. Would happily recommend this property

A bit of an old hand at HomeAway so it's easy to spot when an owner really cares about the visitor experience. Alison does so in spades, from the welcoming gift, the milk in the fridge right through to the attention to detail with cleanliness and suchlike. Truly a wonderful short break within a short walk to where it all happens in Bowness.
