Description

Perfectly positioned for a countryside escape to the desirable Cumbrian town of Bowness-on-Windermere, Nutkin Cottage offers a beautiful holiday base for a couple or family of four to explore this beautiful area of the Lake District National Park. A contemporary terraced cottage just a stone's throw away from the town centre, it offers all you could need for a memorable family holiday.

Enter into the snug to be met by a warming gas stove sitting within the feature stone inglenook, here you can relish time with your loved ones whilst relaxing each evening in the plush seating arrangement, the Smart TV with Amazon Prime and Netflix sure to provide hours of entertainment.

Through to the living/dining room you can find even more snug seating areas, with an inviting armchair perched in front of the woodburning stove, there's no better spot to delve into a good book from the selection at the cottage, as well as there being a variety of games and DVDs too! Gather together at the dining table for all your home-made meals, the galley-style kitchen at the rear of the cottage hosting every essential for a week-long stay with its contemporary range of appliances including a gas range cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer and a dishwasher, as well as there even being a washing machine and tumble dryer in the utility too!

Make your way to the first floor to indulge in a relaxing soak in the roll top bath, with a shower over too for a refreshing rinse each morning, as well as both bedrooms being on this floor also. Take your pick from a master double or the twin room, both hosting their own television and a unique interior of either a coastal or countryside theme, creating a homely setting for you to settle down in each evening.

Start your day within the enclosed courtyard with your morning coffee as your canine companion stretches their legs, or take a stroll into the town to discover a good selection of eateries where you can indulge in a hearty breakfast on the waterfront of Lake Windermere. Windermere being the largest lake in England, it offers plenty of scenic wonders to explore, with opportunities for watersports and idyllic boat trips to explore more of Cumbria too.

There are plenty of quaint shops to visit in the town and then neighbouring twin town of Windermere too, with attractions in the local area including The World of Beatrix Potter, sure to be a hit with the little ones. Here you can enjoy interactive exhibits with all your favourite characters from the books, as well as an award-winning outdoor Peter Rabbit Garden! Be sure to visit the National Trust owned Hill Top too, once the home of Beatrix Potter herself, it now presents its visitors with a stunning 17th-century farmhouse where you can learn more about the author's life with wonderful references throughout.

The National Trust wonder of Wray Castle is within easy reach too, a Neo-gothic 1800s castle with a child-friendly interior hosting play rooms and scenic lakeside grounds. Choose to tackle the peak of Claife Heights for some of the most stunning sights of the Lake District, or simply roam the surrounding area with ample opportunities for walking, cycling, horse riding, golf and much more.

A lovely cottage in a brilliant location.

The cottage had everything you needed to enjoy the stay and it felt very much like home, it was also more spacious downstairs than I expected. My only minor criticism are that the toilet seat needs fixing (was OK to use but does need fixing to prevent someone sliding off), the twin bedroom had limited space (OK for kids or 1 adult but probably not ideal for 2) and there were too many scent diffusers around (a personal preference, I prefer the smell of cleaning products but this was easily resolved by putting them in the cupboard). Overall we were really happy with the property and would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely loved Nutkin Cottage.

Extremely comfortable and clean. It had everything you could possibly need. My only tiny change would be to have a blackout blind or hang curtains in the back bedroom as it was very light. We had a really enjoyable stay and will definitely book again.
