Nestled on a quiet side street in Bowness-on-Windermere, this traditional Lakeland cottage offers a peaceful base just minutes from the bustling town centre. Lovingly refurbished to an exceptionally high standard, the property retains its original charm, blending it with contemporary style and comforts. With spacious living areas and a gorgeous patio garden, it’s a great base for a family holiday or a getaway with friends in the heart of the Lake District.

Really lovely the house, well decorated, kitchen had all we needed. Games and xbox were additional bonus especially when you coming with kids and the weather is not what you've hoped for. Its just a few steps from the town centre, probably 10-15min walls downhill to the pier. Parking spot just behind the house. Can absolutely recommend this cottageRead more and definitely will be back here. Hide

Little Close is one of the loveliest places Ive ever stayed. Its incredibly cosy, beautifully decorated and spacious. Theres ample storage available, the kitchen, bathrooms and all other common areas are well equipped and have everything you could possibly need available (including a very good range of board games I might add!), and it genuinely feRead morelt like a home away from home. Location wise, you couldnt be closer to the centre of Bowness which is amazing for walking in and getting around, but the house remains so quiet - you wouldnt even know you were that close. If you need a peaceful, comfortable and all around lovely break away I couldnt recommend somewhere more. Its definitely somewhere Im coming back to! Hide

Marvellous cottage, fab location. Days filled with great food, great walks and great beer. Wonderful recommendations (including great music playlists). We recommend The Magic Roundabout, Angel Inn, The Lakeview, Boaters, Porto and The Base for food. Everyone was so friendly.
