  • Beautiful spacious Lakeland apartment with lake views in a shared building
  • Sunny, south-facing private garden with patio area
  • Very homely and inviting with wood burner for those cooler evenings
Property code: 62587

Nestled on the shores of Lake Windermere, this marvellous apartment sleeps six and has mesmerising vistas in all directions. Discover a natural playground of countryside trails from your doorstep, setting out to explore along the water’s edge on foot or by bike. Traditional boat rides, tranquil picnic spots and bustling Lakeland villages await, so all you’ll have to do is bring along your outdoor gear and plan your adventures.

Slip through the stable door and through the utility room to find a stylish interior that exudes old-world charm, inviting you to pull up a chair and tuck into tea and cake around the table. The country cottage-style kitchen has everything you need to prepare family meals and, on sunny evenings why not head outside to dine alfresco? A wood burner crackles invitingly in the lounge, lulling you into a state of relaxation as you catch up on your favourite TV shows over hot chocolate. At bedtime, you’ll have a choice of three bedrooms scattered between the ground floor and the first floor. Two have the added bonus of an en-suite apiece, but there is also a family bathroom. The exterior may be shared, but you’ll be guaranteed privacy once you are tucked up inside.

Take the short stroll to Far Sawrey to whet your appetite for Lakeland fare in the friendly pub, then continue a little further to reach Hill Top (1.5 miles), the former home of Beatrix Potter. The surrounding fells once inspired William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, and a trip to Hawkshead (4 miles) will reward you with sights that these literary geniuses once enjoyed. The cobbled streets of this bustling village are lined with interesting houses, independent shops and a brewery, and it is also near ethereally beautiful Esthwaite Water where you can spot ospreys hunting.

A beautiful, really well equipped place to stay in a stunning location. Nearby Cuckoo Brow Inn serves excellent quality meals with lovely, friendly service. The whole family loved going out on the water with Kev at Lakes Wakesurf. Only downside is that it can get noisy with people from the flat above moving around.

Lovely clean very well equipped cottage we were in downstairs accommodation. Website photos do not do it justice -its very spacious Located close to Cunsey village so quiet area five minute walk to Windermere lake side (not the town) Guests need a car as walking the lanes would be, in my view, hazardous especially at night. But all main attractionsRead more are within 20-30 minutes drive. Top tips: Bring food for your stay especially if you don't want to drive (too far out for takeaway deliveries) Hide

If someone is staying upstairs, you can almost hear everything. Especially teenage kids fighting and dogs walking on wooden floors. The cottage itself is lovely and on the whole is nice. But if youre looking for a guaranteed rest then its a lottery depending on who is upstairs. Money wasted? Its down to chance.

A wonderful location in a quieter part of the Lakes, with wonderful views overlooking Windermere. A 30-minute drive to Ambleside if the ferry is not running.

We had a lovely stay at Cunsey House. There was plenty of space for our group of 3 couples and 2 dogs. The house was clean, well equipped, comfortable and spacious. We liked the layout as it suited our group. Our only problem was a little issue with the logs when we arrived but it was quickly and politely dealt with by the cottage agents.
