Overview
Property code: 86696

Enjoy a break to this peaceful cottage just a short walk from local amenities and 500 metres away from the glistening shores of Lake Windermere. Relax on the private balcony and soak up scenic views.

Come and experience wow-factor views across Lake Windermere and beyond when you stay at this chic property that sleeps up to four guests. Make a splash as you indulge in a spot of wild swimming in Lake Windermere; explore one of the many walking trails that weave through the majestic woodlands nearby; or climb to the summit of Brant Fell and watch the sunset over the idyllic town of Bowness-on-Windermere.

On arrival, you will notice that this unique home from home has two spacious bedrooms on the first floor. This is to make space for a glorious lounge on the second floor, which offers unrivalled views across the fells. Climb the stairs from the front door to find a double bedroom, pretty twin and shower room before heading up the staircase to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Decorated in a retro style, this lovely area feels extra special thanks to the private balcony. Gather some glasses and a bottle of celebratory fizz before sliding the balcony doors open and letting the wild outdoor scenery take your breath away. Sit back and relax on the cosy sofas while the chef of your group whips up a delicious meal in the well-equipped kitchen. When dinner is served, dig into your feast at the dining table and begin plotting your next day’s adventure together.

The location of this property is fantastic for families with The World of Beatrix Potter being less than 200 metres away. Situated in the town of Bowness-on-Windermere, guests will find a number of quaint cafes and eateries moments from the front door. Adrenaline junkies will love visiting Brockhole’s activity centre (3 miles) where you can try your hand at mini-golf, tree-top trampolines, zip lines, kayaking and archery.

Everything the cottage description gave was true. Could sit on that settee and look at the view of the lake for hours. Very comfortable, clean and the decoration spot on. Put car in massive garage for the week not searching for parking. Well pleased and would book again.

A great location and very clean and pleasant property. Parking off the street, right outside the door and a big empty garage for storing walking gear or bikes in. The property is well decorated and maintained with plenty of hot water and control over the heating. It has WiFi, Tv, dvds and games. We enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful property with stunning views. Extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The property is a short walk from the shops in Bowness and Lake Windermere. There is plenty to do in the area and Bowness is a great base if you want to venture further afield.

Stunning property with amazing views. Very well equipped (even a slow cooker!) and beautifully furnished. The owners have thought of everything with plenty of information and maps about the area.

A nice, comfortable, well presented property very close to Bowness town center - about a 5 minute walk. This is the second time we have stayed and would be very happy to book again. It is well equipped with everything you could need for a week or two, good size rooms and firm but comfortable beds. Being able to park the car in a garage is a big pluRead mores as parking in Bowness is sometimes at a premium. Would recommend you close the blinds if its going to be a sunny day as the lounge get very warm. Hide

Very comfortable and clean. 5 minute walk into bowness giving excellent access to shops, pubs, restaurants and the ferry departure point. 9 out of 10 but only because of the lack of washing machine. The view from the veranda was stunning.

The house had very good facilities, everything that you could need for a self catering holiday. Very clean and tidy, comfortable sofas, great shower and a sink in the main bedroom which was a bonus.
