No Communications
Owners of Cottage provided a phone number to call one week before our arrival. Numerous attempts each day and "no one" answered the phone. And there wasn't any way to leave a message. On our way to the unit, we had an emergency, one member, in the emergency room for 3 hours. I tried getting hold of the unit, no response so I called VRBO. We had to cancelled because I could not speak with the owner about our situation and their accommodations. Request complete refund.

Unique cottage in a beautiful location.
We had a lovely time at Mislet Cottage. The property was clean and tidy and our kids loved the attic room. There’s a great spot on the terrace to sit and enjoy a drink while taking in the view. The owner Mr Walling was very welcoming and gave us some history about the area and building. The cottage is ideally located for Windermere, Bowness, Ambleside and Kendal. Coniston water is 35 minutes, Keswick and Derwent water are under and hour away.

Great location, cottage has some limitations
The spot and the history are definitely the highlights here. It's in a beautiful and very quiet location in the Lake District hills, just 5 min drive from grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants in Windermere. The cottage itself is quaint, but a bit cramped. Beds are a bit hard, and the ceiling in the sitting room (a former Quaker chapel) is very low (below 6' in spots). So a taller crowd may, like me, bonk your head a few times. Still, it was fine for a couple nights.

Located right on a sheep farm, it’s rustic and quiet but still just a 30 min walk from Windermere. Well equipped kitchen but no staples provided, not even salt and pepper. Also no bath towels or soap/shampoo. We hiked up to a viewpoint north of the cottage with great views of Lake Windermere - beautiful!

Beautiful and tranquil haven
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mislet Cottage - what a wonderful spot! The simplicity and calmness of the surroundings were relaxing and the evenings were cosy by the open fire. The pictures and description were accurate and the owners, who live next door ( but not overlooking the cottage) were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The location was great for biking and walking activities and both Windermere and Staveley were a few minutes drive away.

Old world charm
What a wonderful old world style cottage in lovely rural location. If you want an immaculately presented modern cottage this may not be for you, but it is a lovely cottage that is clean and tidy - it is grade 2 listed!! Well recommended.

Lovely rural retreat
This cottage was just what we wanted. Away from hustle n bustle but very close to Windemere, with easy routes to other locations. Pub/restaurant literally 4 minutes down the road. Cottage wouldn't suit everyone: i.e. those looking for 5star accommodation but this was clean, relaxing good TV and lovely cows!! And James the owner a fount of stories about area.

Birthday break
I booked this cottage for my boyfriend's birthday. We also brought his son and our two dogs. The cottage was as described. Lovely and quaint and old fashioned, as should be and gives it, it's charm. Only a 20 min walk into Ings, where there is a lovely pub, with fantastic food,called the watermill inn Windermere is a 15 min drive. The owner of this property , who owns the farm, James. Very kindly let our dogs stay in his barn, so we could all go cannoying one day. They also have a washing machine in there utilty room, which is avaiable for people staying in the cottage to use., James daughter showed us , where to find it i would stay again . IE, there is an old double dunny in the garden, also looks like it's as old as the house. We all loved our stay 😁
