This sweet retreat offers a cosy hideaway for couples, friends or small families, just a short drive from Windermere, Ambleside and Kendal. After your days exploring this iconic area, return to the home comforts of the historic cottage, which include a wood burner and a Smart TV.
Full of character, the two-storey cottage combines traditional features with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Hang coats in the covered porch and enter the open-plan lounge/diner, which boasts rugged, exposed beams. Comfortable seating is gathered around a wood burner and a Smart TV – ideal for relaxed evenings in. Prepare meals in the adjoining, galley-style kitchen, and decide whether to dine at its breakfast table or at the dining table in the lounge. When you start to yawn, a cottage-style staircase leads up to two snug bedrooms, alongside a family bathroom which has a bath and a separate shower. The compact front garden is fully enclosed and provides a peaceful spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine at dusk. Private parking is available for one car.
The cottage is in beautiful countryside close to Ings, just 2.5 miles from Windermere, where you’ll find a choice of shops and places to eat and drink. Bowness-on-Windermere is 5 miles away, where you can hire a boat or hop onto a cruise on the scenic waters of the lake. From here, you can also take a nostalgic steam train through the scenery of the Leven Valley to Haverthwaite. Kentmere, Ambleside and Kendal are all within 7 miles, the National Trust’s Wray Castle is 10 miles away, and Fell Foot, a lakeshore park with stunning views, is 10.5 miles away.
