Burrow Cottage, Bowness

This romantic Lake District cottage is a dream inside and out. With a picture postcard whitewashed exterior, deep-silled cottage windows, roaring open fire and old oak beams, Burrow Cottage retains its traditional character and charm. But the owners have lovingly refurbished the cottage to the very last detail, to provide sophisticated self-catering accommodation for up to 4 people.
A babbling brook flows down past the cottage to Lake Windermere, which can be admired only a few hundred yards from the door. Adding to the ambience, a delightful furnished patio provides the perfect place to sip coffee in the sun. Bowness village is only a few miles away (just follow the lakeside road) and for a special treat visit one of our favourite Lake District country pubs, the Mason's Arms. It's only a short drive away at Bowland Bridge.

Location
Only a few miles from Bowness Bay on the eastern shores of Lake Windermere, Burrow Cottage is perfectly placed for a peaceful yet convenient Lake District self-catering break. The property is located off the lake shore road, which runs the full length of Lake Windermere from Newby Bridge and Lakeside, to Bowness and north to Ambleside - a journey you might also take on a Lake Windermere Cruise. For shopping, dining and evenings out, Bowness is your first call. You'll find a wealth of fantastic Lakeland pubs (where yacht owners and boat-enthusiasts recap their days!) a range of excellent restaurants and several lively bars. The Royalty Cinema provides for those quieter evenings, and the Old Laundry Theatre is well worth a check.
Head over Cartmel Fell from the eastern shores of Lake Windermere and you'll find more wonderful countryside. Walk up Gummers How for spectacular views of Lake Windermere, then descend into the serene Lyth Valley for a fabulous pub meal at one of the area's renowned Lakeland country pubs. This is a superb Lake District self-catering location, with the opportunity for peace and quiet, vibrant village life and exhilarating walking.
