Overview
Property code: 78288

Ideal location set on a quiet street only a few minutes’ walk from the heart of the Lakes with both Windermere and Bowness within walking distance.

Situated in the popular town of Bowness-on-Windermere, this contemporary property is a welcome retreat for you and your guests. Sleeping four across two spacious bedrooms, this holiday home is perfect for couples or small families looking for a quiet holiday but with plenty of things to do on the doorstep. Take a walk just half a mile to the World of Beatrix Potter, or hire a canoe, kayak or bicycle from Windermere Canoe and Kayak which is 3 miles by car and just 1.5 miles on foot, and spend a day venturing around England’s longest lake.

The property, which is just a mile’s walk from the water’s edge, has a bright and airy feel thanks to its open-plan style. The kitchen diner has everything you need to get cooking, while the dining table, set in a large bay window, offers a wonderful view over the houses and countryside beyond. The lounge is a cosy haven to kick back and relax in, with soft neutral decor and rich wood furnishings that create a tranquil atmosphere. When it’s time for bed head to one of the bedrooms; the king-size bedroom, which can be made up into a twin, has patio doors leading to the garden letting in lots of natural light.

Make sure you pay a visit to Grizedale Forest (12.5 miles), which offers views from Lake Windermere to Coniston Water, and has plenty of walking trails to lead you to the best parts of the forest. If you love the work of Wordsworth, go to see Dove Cottage (9 miles) – while you’re in Grasmere you can stop off for gingerbread at the famous Grasmere Gingerbread Shop. And for something a bit more relaxing, cruise on an Ullswater Steamer from the south of the lake (14 miles).

  • 2 bedrooms – 2 king size beds (1 king can be made into a twin, must be requested at the time of booking)
  • 1 en-suite bathroom with bath, separate shower and WC, 1 en-suite shower room with shower only and 1 separate WC
  • Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer
  • Roadside parking
  • Smart TV in lounge
  • Garden area with seating and BBQ
  • Shop, pubs and restaurants within walking distance
  • Arrival: 17:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • 2 dogs allowed. Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week
  • There is an Accidental Damage Deposit of £200 when booking at this property, however this may be waived for £25. We’ll provide more details about this when booking your holiday.

The holiday property is clean & modern and in a good location for both Windermere & Bowness. A little welcome pack Garden is hard landscaped & enclosed, so perfect if you have dogs. The only drawback, Sainsbury's couldn't find property (didn't call us), so failed to deliver order :-(

Extremely well appointed property in easy walking distance to the shops, restaurants and pier/lake. Excellent on street parking outside the property. Very modern inside and really good to have sole use of the garden area if you do take a dog to the property, which is accessed via the main bedroom double doors at ground level.

Lower Thornbarrow was nice enough the garden is an added bonus, for us the place did not feel homely it felt like a rental. Just little touches missing but perhaps we felt like this because we had just stayed at a beautiful property in Keswick the week before and prefer that area. The location was not for us a little far out and frankly Windermere Read moreand Bowness are disappointing. Parking is good with no issues. This property was just not for us, sadly but can see why others do. Hide

Expected place to be cleaner than it was, windows haven't been cleaned for a long while. Patio and decking area are nice. Accommodation is spacious and well planned. Nice quiet road and central to Bowness and Windermere.
