Enjoy a special stay at the heart of the Lake District in this traditional slate cottage located in the town of Windermere. Sleeping six guests in four bedrooms, it offers a memorable base for a family holiday or a getaway with friends. After adventurous days hiking beautiful trails and messing about on the water, return here to rest and recharge in the elegant and cosy interiors, and listen to the bubbling stream running through the private garden.

Arranged over three storeys, this delightful cottage has abundant charm and character. Beamed ceilings, original fireplaces and lovely wooden doors blend with elegant, country-style decor for a warm and inviting ambience. Shrug off coats and boots in the convenient porch before stepping into the open-plan lounge/diner. This comfortable room has ample space to relax next to the open fire and a large dining table for sociable mealtimes. The modern fitted kitchen next door has everything you need to cook up a storm. When it’s time to rest your head, four comfortable bedrooms await: a king-size and a small double on the first floor, and a king-size and a single, both with restricted head height, on the top floor. A bathroom on each floor ensures everybody can refresh with ease. Make the most of warm weather in the delightful garden, relaxing on comfortable seats next to the water or crossing over the beck by stepping stone to wander around the lawn. A side gate offers an alternative route to the lawn, though dogs and children shouldn’t be left unsupervised here.

With shops and eateries nearby and the boats of Bowness-on-Windermere just over a mile away, this is an excellent location for visitors to the Lake District. Water activities include boat trips, boat hire and family watersports. The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction in Bowness-on-Windermere will keep the little ones amused in bad weather, while numerous trails lead out to superb walking routes.

Excellent accomodation near to Windermere and Bowness. Photos were accurate. Someone has already mentioned the stairs to the second floor being steep and needing care, not suitable for those with mobility issues . Parking outside was easy. The garden wasn't used due to the cold ( but sunny) weather in November. Would definitely recommend. Thank youRead more Steve Hide

Wonderful house - we felt as if we had been welcomed in to someone's lovely comfortable home, such was the quality of the fixtures and fittings, and the atmosphere. All of us settled in and relaxed quickly, and - importantly - all of us slept very well (unusually).

Brookside is very well equipped, comfortable, cosy and warm. The interior decor and furnishings are of a very high standard and very much in keeping with the property itself, which is delightful. The location is ideal being both convenient for the town and its amenities but also quiet.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at Brookside cottage. Set next to the beautiful beck (which had already won us over when we booked), nothing disappointed, even the weather was kind to us. The cottage is ideally located within easy reach of Windermere and Bowness, and a short drive to lots picturesque walks and local attractions.
