Location
This self-catering Lake District holiday home is peacefully located in beautiful countryside just a 10 minute drive from all the facilities and attractions of Windermere. Tranquil, rolling green hills surround you with tempting strolls along nearby walking paths and the challenges of Windermere Golf Course are never far away.
In Windermere itself you'll find a sophisticated and well-served village, which is easily accessible from the M6 and connected to the rest of the country through it's central train station. The A591 that runs past the village takes you to the north of the National Park and links to a host of other stunning locations.
The headquarters of Lakeland Ltd is well worth a visit for culinary fans, and Windermere high street has a wide range of smaller local shops. Windermere is home to several traditional pubs, serving real Lakeland ale and hearty pub meals. You'll find lazy cafes for breakfast out, and excellent Lake District restaurants such as Jerichos. There is a high-class Booths supermarket selling everyday essentials as well as the finest local produce.
Windermere is not actually on the lake shores, but is only a mile or two up the road from the lake and lively Bowness Bay, which boasts lake activities, including row boats for hire and cruises on the famous Windermere steamers. A great way to explore car-free!
