Mr Bradley

“The Old Post House was a fantastic property and in a great location as a gateway to visit the Lake District.”

The property was a relaxing environment to get away from the hustle and bustle of work. Really enjoyed the proximity of Lakeside where you could hop on the boat to visit Bowness & Ambleside.

This cottage is designed as a place to relax and spend precious time together and truly appreciate the countryside. A few minutes stroll will bring you into the hamlet of Lakeside which has an excellent hotel, restaurant and bar, and also close by is The Swan leisure club and bar with a restaurant providing a tempting escape. Regularly departing steamers take you to other popular destinations on the shores of Lake Windermere. Walks are in abundance including, from your doorstep, the breathtaking 'High Dam' is just a short drive away. Also within a few minutes walk is the Aquarium Of The Lakes and just a few miles away in Far Sawrey, the original home of Miss Potter.

About the location

LAKESIDE

Newby Bridge 1.2 miles; Bowness-on-Windermere 8.7 miles.

Set on the southern shores of Lake Windermere, the small, sleepy hamlet of Lakeside offers a peaceful getaway location, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the Lake District’s popular attractions, but still within easy reach of them. Whether you decide to discover the area in the car, by foot, bike, boat or steam, there’s plenty to see nearby to keep the whole family content. The ferry dock offers the chance to travel by boat to Waterhead or Bowness, or take a shorter trip to the National Trust’s Fell Foot Park, across the water, which offers pretty grounds set alongside the very tip of the lake, providing plenty of places for picnics, paddling, games and gentle strolls on sunny afternoons. Situated alongside the Lakeside Station is the long-standing Lakeside and Haverwaithe Railway, home to Britain’s oldest standard gauge steam engine, on which you can travel back in time along this well-loved Heritage line, and where little ones will delight in meeting Thomas and his friends. Visit the Lakes Aquarium to uncover the often-secretive world of life below water, where you’ll chance upon hundreds of captivating creatures that feature in the surrounding rivers, lakes and sea. There are wonderful, well-signed walks to be enjoyed in the immediate area, including the 5-mile route to Finsthwaite’s High Dam, which trails from Lakeside through pleasant woodlands and meadows. Lakeside offers an exclusive holiday location with all of the Lake District’s delights at your fingertips.

Outside, the gardens have a wrap around patio area and the garden is not enclosed, so care with children and dogs is needed.
