Rosy Outlook

Rosy Outlook is an welcoming ground-floor apartment situated on the outskirts of Windermere, Cumbria.

Set within the Lake District National Park and welcoming families, friends and one four-legged companion, this well-presented retreat boasts a private patio, glimpses of Lake Windermere.

Pull up and park in one of two off-road spaces before taking in the tranquil surroundings and making your way through the communal entrance.

Step inside the apartment to find a good-sized hallway with space to hang coats, store boots and settle in after a day spent exploring, while a desk provides a useful spot for catching up on emails or planning tomorrow's adventures.

When sleep calls, choose between two appealing bedrooms, beginning with a flexible twin featuring zip/link beds that can be arranged to suit your group.

The king-size bedroom offers another restful setting and features its own desk, along with an en-suite where you can step beneath the walk-in shower before wrapping up a fresh towel warmed on the heated rail.

A separate bathroom means there is plenty of space to prepare for the day, whether you prefer a soak in the bath or a refreshing rinse beneath the shower over.

Continue into the kitchen and look out towards the garden as you prepare something delicious, using the oven and hob for family dinners while the fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer, kettle and toaster take care of the practicalities.

Carry your dishes through to the dining table and gather near the quaint light fitting to share food and conversation before deciding how to spend the evening.

Settle into one of the sofas in the sitting area and choose a favourite film on the Smart TV, with the electric fire creating an attractive focal point, or open the doors and step straight onto the patio when the weather beckons.

Gas central heating keeps the apartment warm between autumn rambles and winter adventures, while WiFi means entertainment and holiday planning are close at hand.

Outside, take a seat on the furniture on your private rear patio and catch glimpses of Lake Windermere beyond the shared lawn, an enticing setting for a morning coffee or a drink after a day on the fells or walk across the road to the grounds of Storrs Hall Hotel where you can visit the The Temple of Naval Heroes, offering magnificent views up and down Windermere.

When you fancy an evening away from the kitchen, visit the nearby pub for a meal or drink, while the local shop is handy for stocking up on essentials.

Delve deeper into the Lake District National Park at Brockhole on Windermere, where you can wander through the grounds beside the water, take in beautiful lake and fell scenery and discover activities for the whole family.

Make your way to The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction in Bowness-on-Windermere, where you can step into scenes inspired by much-loved stories, meet familiar characters through charming displays and explore Peter Rabbit's garden.

For another memorable outing, visit Wray Castle, where the striking Gothic Revival exterior makes an impressive first sight, family-friendly rooms invite exploration and the surrounding grounds provide further opportunities to enjoy the Lake District landscape.

Beyond Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere, spend time discovering the bustling town of Ambleside or venture towards Kendal for another change of scenery.

Make Rosy Outlook your base for a memorable Lake District break.
