    “We've had a lovely, relaxing week staying in your beautiful comfortable, cosy cottage- thank you!”

    Loved the decor and special little touches! It was perfect for a 'home away for home' stay- we visited Fell Foot- beautiful walk by the lake, as wall as Coniston, Bowness on Windermere for shopping and Windermere for some local art, Jeff Sudders really captures the calm ambience so beautifully of the area. Having visited the Lake District many times with my family as a child, it was lovely to return after a 40 year hiatus with my own family- lovely memories of a very special place.

The property

Nestled just on the outskirts of Bowness yet set in rolling fields and fells.

Greenstyles is a traditional Lakeland cottage full of charm, with great views of the mountains and of Lake Windermere.

A very impressive property finished to the highest standard, the owners have created the perfect holiday retreat for friends and families. This beautiful cottage has a kitchen with arch through to the dining room, sitting room with log burner, garden room, three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Downstairs cloakroom with basin and WC, large utility room. With beautiful views across the large garden to the fells and beyond, walks from the door and an abundance of wildlife, Greenstyles is just five minutes drive from Bowness-on-Windermere and easy access to the central Lake District.

This is certainly more than just a holiday cottage, this is an experience that is not to be missed. Accommodation As you step into the cottage through the solid wooden front door, you enter a spacious hallway, with sitting room to the right and the pretty light and bright kitchen and dining room to the left.

The well equipped kitchen with an electric Aga oven and four ring electric hob, stylish Smeg fridge freezer and Neff dishwasher has everything you need to cook up that hearty breakfast or celebration meal.

Walk through the arch into the dining room where friends and families will gather over many a meal to relax, socialise and celebrate.

Light streams in through a wall of fell-view windows, where a glazed stable style door also provides access to the outside space, ideal for mid-summer meals alfresco. Across the hall is the sitting room with feature rustic beams.

Choose from the comfortable sofas or window seats offering a choice of places to relax, chat, read or alternatively watch TV in front of the log burning stove.

Such a cosy room. From the sitting room, glazed double doors lead through into the garden room, with access to the large, mature garden.

A choice of sofas awaits you, perfect for afternoon tea or indeed just relaxing and reading the paper.

Windows on three sides provide views of the surrounding fields and fells. The staircase leads to the three bedrooms.

All the bedrooms have pretty cottage windows, which frame the views.

The first bedroom has a super king bed, the second has a king size bed and the third is a single room, with views of the lake and fells. Please note: Beds are presented as super king or king beds in bedrooms 1 and 2, if guests would like twin beds please specify your requirements when booking to ensure they are correctly presented prior to your arrival. These rooms are complemented by a large, smart family bathroom with fabulous views of the lake and the fells, a double walk-in shower, vanity unit with twin basins and WC. On the ground floor is a good sized utility room with washing machine and drier, iron and ironing board.

You'll also find a heated towel rail to enable you to dry any wet coats. To the rear of the cottage is the fabulous, large garden with an extensive lawned area, mature trees and bushes; great for exploring and enjoying the views.

An area with garden furniture is a great place to have breakfast in the morning on a sunny day or indeed in the evening.

A must for those clear days not to mention a glass or two in the evening gazing at the stars - the perfect antidote after a long walk! There is also a small garden to the front and private parking on the driveway (one large or two smaller cars), with a third parking space if required on a gravelled area just off to the side of the garden. Location Greenstyles is in a quiet rural location in open countryside yet just five or six minutes’ drive (2.0 mls) from the centre of Bowness-on-Windermere, the popular Lake District holiday location, nestling on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere and alive with all the boating activities of Bowness Bay. Enjoy great shops, tempting cafes, excellent Lake District restaurants, cosy traditional pubs, contemporary bars or stroll to the pier to hop on a Windermere Lake Cruise to Ambleside or Lakeside - a lovely way to enjoy Lake Windermere at any time of year. Family attractions in Bowness include the award-winning World of Beatrix Potter attraction - a favourite with the kids.

You'll also find mini golf and tennis near the lake shore, and Windermere Golf Club just a few minutes' drive out of the village. There are a wide range of cafes and restaurants in Bowness, to suit all tastes and budgets.

From top quality Fish & Chips to fine dining, there's something to please everyone.

Bowness also has a mainstream cinema and the Old Laundry Theatre offers an interesting programme of performances. Slightly closer to Greenstyles (1.5 mls) is the small village of Winster in the beautiful Winster and Lythe valley, famous for its damsons.

The nearest pub is the award winning Brown Horse in Winster. Another famous neighbour of Greenstyles (just 0.5 mls) is Blackwell, the Arts and Crafts house, designed for the wealthy Manchester brewer Sir Edward Holt by architect Baillie Scott.

This simply stunning property is considered to be one of the finest examples of the Arts and Crafts movement and is open to the public to enjoy all year round.

Great café too!

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
