Very rarely do we ever find such 'picture postcard' perfect Lakeland cottages as Lavender Cottage.
Beautifully situated in gorgeous open countryside this detached 17th century cottage was once a Drover's cottage and we are sure you will agree its 5 star status is easily understood. The wonderful gardens stretch over two and a half acres with manicured lawns, rockeries, an orchard and meandering pathways with strategically placed seating to enjoy the panoramic views. Approached along a leafy and very quiet lane and circumscribed by truly idyllic countryside you could describe Lavender Cottage as secluded yet less than a mile away are two famous country inns serving mouth watering food and real ales.
If you can tear yourselves away from the cottage walks are in abundance straight from the doorstep in every direction and the bustling village of Bowness-on-Windermere is only a short drive, teeming with local shops, restaurants and waterborne activities on Lake Windermere. Step inside this marvelous cottage and instantly you will be delighted by the sheer beauty and attention to detail. An enchanting atmosphere is soon unwound by the 'old world' charm throughout with adorning beams, original smoking hooks, paneled latch doors, slate floors and picture windows blending effortlessly with 'state of the art' modern luxuries including beautiful Laura Ashley furnishings and fabrics, Shaker fitted kitchen and endless list of details. If you yearn for a little luxury with spectacular surroundings in a place where you can escape from it all then this little gem may just be that perfect hideaway you are searching for.
The accommodation comprises; a traditional entrance porch with solid oak door leads into the dining room displaying a plethora of old beams, slate tiled floor, window seat and an antique pine dining table. Cosy yet bright lounge with lovely duel aspect complete with window seats, deep cushioned furnishings and the all essential warming woodburning stove set on blue slate. The beautiful kitchen has everything for the perfect holiday and deep steps lead up to the gardens and patio. Upstairs to the sumptuous bedrooms displaying co-ordinated linens and fabrics to complement the sophisticated furnishings including the iron brass bed. The views are further enhanced on this level and the bathroom is complete with a cast iron bath to help soak away any aches of the day. The wondrous gardens are sheer delight and we must point out there is a pond stocked with unusual fish so please be extra vigilant with children.
