Location, comfort and amenities combine to make this difficult to beat.
Third time staying the property. Knew where to look and easy to access the keys and then enter the property. All familiar since the previous occasion of visting some 11 months earlier. Nice to see many of the windows in the house have been replaced with models that have integrated blinds and the front door has also been replaced.
As before the combination of the location and general comfort of the property is very hard to beat. This is a nice place to stay.
The basics..
Can sleep 6, but optimal with 4.
You have a convenience store across the road from the entrance to the drive/alley that accesses the property.
You are in the commerical shopping part of Windermere with everything you reasonably would want or need withing 2 minutes (and less!) of the front door. Pharmacy, hairdressers, pubs, bars, cafes and grocery stores all very close by, there is even a very good gourmet wine outlet.
Private back yard with a gravel surface... Nice that there is a decent table and with seating available this year. If only a barbeque grate would be built, then could not be beaten for convenience. Great place to sit to experience warm evening outside.
Windermere itself is a superb base for exploring and accessing the whole of the Lake District. You do need a car.
Free parking pass provided for one car allowing easy parking close to the property in resident only restricted parking bays.
On this trip, we arrived in two parties with two cars. This worked OK with some working around the parking restictions, but easier with a single vehicle.
Good but slow cycle dishwasher. Cycle time 1.5 hours and more.
Washing machine is present. Works OK... but a replacement with a higher load capacity would be better. It is a Bosch unit.
I love this place. Wish I owned it.
The bathroom is enormous. The bath is not. My one real gripe which I have stated in previous reviews. There is more space in the bathroom on the top floor than the third bedroom has next to it. I would switch them around.
Water pressure of the shower is low. Gets the job done at a slower pace.
Living room is a little dark unless you turn on the lights. Minor niggle.
Sofas are vinyl or patent leather.... OK but a little cold.
Some newer non-stick pans would be welcomed.

Spacious cottage in the heart of Windermere
The location is fabulous, right in the centre of Windermere, within 2 minutes' walk of bars/restaurants/cafes, 15 minutes walk into Bowness, 5 minutes away from the lovely little walk up to Orrest Head with views of Lake Windermere. The accommodation is adequate, the kitchen has everything needed, and the whole place is surprisingly spacious.
The floor in the kitchen was dirty and needed mopping on arrival. The kettle was pottery, and the lid was ill-fitting, meaning when you tipped the kettle up, the lid fell off and broke. I contacted the agency offering to replace it. I was informed that the owner wanted to purchase herself, and I'd receive an invoice. However then I received several messages/emails/telephone calls from different staff members informing me that the kettle lid was missing and that they'd tried to take payment out of my bank but we're unable to!! That'll be because I wasn't with my card and my bank is diligent. I telephoned them again and paid £51.99 over the phone for a kettle that cost £15.99 online.

Granary Nook review 2023
Very cozy and comfortable cottage. Had everything we needed. Great location. As a family we all loved it, cozy, but plenty of space as well.
A downstairs loo would be nice.other than that, it was perfect!

Quaint and modern self catering town house with an excellent convenient location. Best for 4 people
The property is very close to several restaurants and small food outlets making the location very convenient, no one has to be designated driver when staying at the house. The Co-op, mid sized convenience store, is across the road from the property and made for easy fulfillment of spontaneous needs for provisions. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is only a few minutes walk away from the property's front door. You are in the middle of Windermere, this would normally be a challenge for parking, however a parking pass is provided so that parking on the roads adjacent to the property is free and no real issue but be aware there is only one, the property is not suitable for a group planning to arrive in multiple vehicles.
Very nice inside and comfortable. Kitchen is a reasonably good size and will seat four people at the kitchen table. Modern compact dishwasher is installed but is very slow to complete its cycle but does a good job. The washing machine has seen better days but works perfectly well. Microwave seems relatively new. Fridge freezer of medium capacity and of a typical size for a British kitchen. Glasses, cutlery, utensils and dishes are sufficient for 6 people and were very clean (dishwasher showing its worth?). Living room is comfortable and equipped with a smart TV.
The property is spread over three floors; ground, first and second. Ground floor has the entrance hall, kitchen and living room. First floor has the two double bedrooms one of which is two singles on the same base making it much bigger than a normal double. Top flow has the third bedroom containg two simple single beds with a spacious bathroom. Ground floor is not carpeted, but the rest of the house is except for the bathroom.
Exterior yard would be great for barbeques, but the weather was not suitable for this activity during our stay.
Very little to comment on the negative side, although a few follow.
Bath is too narrow to be completely comfortable for most adults and the electric shower over the bath has very low water flow. Water pressure to the taps is good though.
Only one toilet for the property located in the bathroom which leads to some queueing when the property is closer to capacity.

There are only 1 bathroom with toilet, suggest at most 4 people.
1. The quantity of rooms is flexible for 2 Adults and 1 Child. If one room is not suitable to sleep in, there is a spare room to sleep in.
2. Embedded a washing machine and a dishwasher is friendly for families.
1. The radiator in the main bedroom had not been workable and very cold for 3 nights during my 4-nights stay so I could not take care of my child on the same floor, I needed to go upstairs and downstairs between the first floor and second floor.
However, I appreciated that the management team tried hard to contact the plumbers to fix the radiator's problem. The reason is that there is too much air in the radiators which prevents them from heating up. Wish this will not happen again to other clients.
2. The black non-stick pan is not suitable to use, because there will be something like black material/oil when heating the pan, I think it was unusual. I suggest that the management team check the kitchen pans regularly.
3. I can not find the wifi information, in the beginning. I suggest that there is wifi ap name and password information on the welcome board should be helpful.

Granary Nook was clean, comfortable, spacious and well priced.
We liked the location and the separate rooms. Clean and well presented. We were surprised to be in the centre of Windemere which gave us a great place for our first visit to the Lakes District. Being pet friendly was a big plus. The kitchen facilities were amazing.
Some difficulty with the shower maintaining warm water.

Very good
Location was fantastic, Beds were lovely and comfy, Heating was great and kitchen facilities were excellent
The only small downside was the bathroom being on the top floor and the parking for more than one car.

Fantastic Location
Good location, spacious and clean
Shower didn’t work, we reported it and they came out straight away to try to fix the faulty boiler but the shower still didn’t work. There were five of us all staying in the cottage so it wasn’t ideal.

Exceptional
The location was perfect! So much to do on the door step. Everything you could think of plus a few extras! We asked for a clothes and an hour later one was delivered - excellent service!
Shower curtain needs instructions - it leaks onto the floor unless positioned a certain way. Nowadays a few more TV channels would have been good - maybe freeview?
