The property is perfectly situated to make the most of this much-loved part of Lakeland. Literally on the doorstep there's a wealth of pubs, restaurants and independent shops to explore. This area around Lake Windermere is one of the most popular destinations in the Lake District and it's easy to see why with its gentle scenery and wonderful walking and cycling, not to mention the vast array of things to do for visitors of all ages. Why not try the delightful walk to Orrest Head, well known from Wainwright's guides? Families will love the World Of Beatrix Potter nearby where her characters are brought to life.
Just a mile down the road is Windermere's lakeshore, here you can catch one of the lake steamers for a leisurely and scenic voyage. Why not explore some history and hop across to the other side of Windermere to Wray Castle? Alternatively venture to the south end of the lake and visit the Lakes Aquarium for a fun day out. The foodies among you are well catered for with everything from home-cooked pub meals to Michelin starred dining available nearby. However you choose to spend your visit, you'll find The Bolthole perfectly placed.

On arrival at the property, guests enter via the ground floor door and are drawn up the staircase by its colourful stripy carpet to the light landing and gorgeous living space. This wonderful double-height room has a stunning large window drenching the room in light. There are two elegant grey sofas with sumptuous cushions, a Smart TV with a DVD player, a large map of the area and a large dining table with upholstered dining chairs. Perfect for long post-dinner conversations, planning your adventures under the watchful gaze of the highland cow painting! The well-equipped galley kitchen leads off from here with plenty of crockery, cookware and glassware for your stay. There's a built-in double oven, four ceramic hobs, dishwasher, microwave and helpful extras such as a blender.
Back to the landing and the first of the bedrooms. The comfy king-size bedroom has a wardrobe and dresser for storage and an en-suite shower room with small electric shower. The light, bright twin room has a wardrobe and dresser as well as some over bed cupboards for storage and a view over Windermere's roof line to the fell tops in the distance. The main shower room has an electric shower, sink and toilet.
Venture up the narrow staircase to the second floor and into the eaves where there are exposed beams everywhere. Through a little door you emerge onto the mezzanine balcony, where there are two comfy chairs for escaping with a good book. Alternatively younger ones can commandeer this space as their own play area, what a dream den for spying on the grown-ups below! Onward to the bright super-king-size room, do mind your head on the ornate beam on the way in. This room can also be made up as a twin should your party require, please advise us on booking if this is the case. This room has an en-suite bathroom with a bath.
