    “Beautiful cottage within easy of the high street.”

    While it wasn’t too much of an issue, the provision of a shower mat for the bath would have been welcome for safety, plus there was a lot of condensation in the bathroom as extractor fan was inadequate. A little confused about the instruction to not take the dog on the park as there were many dogs, often off leads, running around said park. Once again not too much of an issue & certainly didn’t spoil our enjoyment of the cottage

The property

Capturing the very essence of the Lake District this conveniently located lodge cottage has been beautifully refurbished to provide a truly sophisticated Lakeland retreat. Tucked away in a peaceful backwater, close to both Windermere and Bowness villages and the shores of the lake. The living room is made for cosy evenings in by the woodburner, the kitchen / dining room has it all and the bedrooms are chic and spacious. The front patio opens onto a park providing a great immediate extension to the green surroundings. This convenient bolt hole is a treat at any time of year; perfect for a special occasion or even a Lake District honeymoon. Accommodation in detail Private parking for one medium sized car right outside your property. Entrance porch leading into a hallway which takes you into the well equipped kitchen / dining room. The living room is designed for relaxation by the warming woodburner and a bay window gazes out across the park. Access to the garden / patio, ideal for pre-dinner drinks and on the ground floor is the modern bathroom. Upstairs to the two spacious and beautiful bedrooms, one double and one king size with interesting character only ever found in lodge houses. Also on this level is a useful room alongside the 2nd WC / wash basin. Location This unique Lake District lodge takes an enviable location; easily reached by car or by train and perfectly placed to explore Windermere village, Bowness and the delights of Lake Windermere without even having to use a car. Windermere village is a lovely place to make yourself at home, with lazy cafes for breakfast, plenty of shops for stocking up the kitchen, traditional Lake District pubs and several restaurants to choose from. A number of superb walks begin nearby, including the easy ascent of Orrest Head which promises spectacular views to Lake Windermere from the top. Walk or drive a couple of miles down the road and you'll reach bustling Bowness, a popular Lake District holiday destination offering sophisticated shopping, a range of restaurants and even a lively nightlife - from the cosy 'Hole int Wall' traditional pub to the trendy Bodegas & Sol tapas bar. From Bowness Bay, you can catch a Windermere Lake Cruise to Ambleside or Lakeside - what a way to explore without driving! For touring by car, you'll find Windermere a great place to start. A famously scenic stretch of the A591 leads to Ambleside, Rydal Water and historic Grasmere. Branch off into the Troutbeck Valley and take one of the most breathtaking scenic drives in the Lake District - over Kirkstone Pass to Ullswater with a stop at the acclaimed Queen's Head for lunch.
