Description

This wonderful, link-attached cottage was originally a stable block for a gentleman's residence, in a pleasant residential cul-de-sac on the fringes of Bowness-on-Windermere.

Presented to a good standard throughout, the cottage offers a comfortable ground floor sitting room with a dining space and a cosy woodburning stove, plus lovely double doors leading to a pleasant courtyard to the front of the property.

There is also a well-equipped, modern kitchen, two ground floor bedrooms, one of which is a king-size double and one with the flexible zip/link option of being a king-size double or a twin, plus a good-size family bathroom.

A further king-size bedroom with a modern en-suite shower room, fitted wardrobes and a vanity area is located on the first floor.

The well-established, elevated garden enjoys pretty views and the well-furnished decking is a lovely place to sit and enjoy an early morning drink, or a lunch-time feast on the barbecue.

Bowness is a short walk away and offers a wide selection of places to eat and drink, from tea and cake to bars to splendid restaurants; there really is something for everyone.

From The Glebe, you can take a leisurely walk along the edge of Lake Windermere or, why not take the weight off your feet and enjoy a trip on Windermere Lake Cruises?

The cruises have several stop options, including Lakeside and the Lakes Aquarium, Ambleside, the Brockhole Visitor Centre or the National Trust property, Wray Castle.

Take a trip to The Old Laundry Theatre, and the young ones will love The World of Beatrix Potter!

Step back in time at the traditional Royalty Cinema, offering the latest movies and a Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ from a by-gone era, which can be heard in concert or alongside a silent movie.

Further afield, Kendal’s castle ruins, museums and shopping, and Ambleside’s bustling town centre are a short ride away.

For those seeking to explore the great outdoors, why not take the car ferry across Lake Windermere to Grizedale Forest, with its excellent walking and mountain biking trails, and high rope tree-top adventure course at Go Ape?

If the weather isn’t so great, visit Rheged, where you will find local food producers, gift-ware and exhibitions, or take in a 3D film on their enormous movie screen.

Families and friends alike will enjoy this wonderful cottage, providing a great base for exploring this fantastic region, at any time of year.

The cottage was beautiful.

It had everything you needed. The added bonus of a washing machine was great. The peace and quiet of the area was just what we needed but still in walking distance to the centre. It could do with a slip mat in the bath though and maybe a handrail on the wall to help disabled or elderly in. The welcome pack of champagne and glasses in the fridge was a lovely thought. Would definitely stay again 100%.

This is a beautiful cottage in an excellent location.

We enjoyed our stay, with lots of walks and hikes close by. The host contacted me on the first day to welcome me, which was nice. The cottage was equipped with all our needs met and we had smart tv’s in every room for days when you would like to stay in and relax. I will definitely be recommending to my family and friends.

We had a couple of small issues .

. The large rug in the living room curled up at the corner and could be dangerous for young children or older people .. We also found it extremely warm in bed and would have appreciated a lighter quilt being available. These are relatively minor issues and overall the accommodation was very clean and well equipped. We would definitely stay again.
