Make yourselves at home at this three-bedroom holiday home at Bowness-on-Windermere in the Lake District. Explore the vibrant town with its many shops and eateries, stroll down to Lake Windermere to hire a boat or book tickets on a cruise to see the sights from the water. Make day trips to Ambleside (5.5 miles), Grasmere (9 miles), or Kendal, 8 miles from your base. Return home to unwind on the balcony and plan the next adventure.
Climb the stairs and let yourselves into your home from home. Discover the accommodation here has a clever upside-down design, with the living spaces upstairs and sleeping areas at ground floor level. From the hallway, wander on through to either a king-size bedroom, a double or a single. Also at this level, is the family shower room. Head on upstairs to find yourselves in an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you and your family and friends can while away evenings after busy days out exploring your surroundings. Watch the TV, with Blu-ray, in here or throw open the glass doors to the balcony on warm days and balmy nights. Take turns in the kitchen area to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner. Choose whether to eat inside at the table or out on the balcony. Sit out here into the evening on pleasant summer nights. Find dedicated parking for two cars at the holiday home.
Make the 8.5-mile drive around the water to Wray Castle, set on the shores of Lake Windermere. Catch the ferry across the lake from Bowness-on-Windermere then embark upon a 4-mile, circular walk to the Claife Viewing Station, up to Hill Top, where Beatrix Potter once lived, and back down to the ferry again. Drive 14 miles to Glenridding to board a steamboat on Ullswater.
