“What a lovely property this is, in a quiet location that is central for everything you could need.”

Spacious, comfortable beds and extremely well equipped from all kitchen accessories right down to books, games, dvds. I have serious log fire envy

- David, January 2022

“For the price of the stay, you would expect the general cleanliness of the property and kitchenware to be a lot better than it was.”

Dirty dish wear that needed to be re-washed before we used it for example. To only be left 3 pieces of wood for the log burner and no matches or lighter to start the fire was very disappointing, again for the amount of money paid you would expect to be provided with enough to last a night minimum. The Wi-Fi kept dropping out for some reason so evenings were disrupted. There was a lot of noise from the neighbouring garage which I believe should be mentioned in the description of the property as this makes relaxed days in less relaxing.

- Rebecca, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear the cleanliness was below standard. We have raised this with the Housekeeping manager to ensure no future lapses occur. Logs are not included in the property however you can purchase these at any local convenience store. With WIFI unfortunately this can be intermittent wherever you go but we would have been happy to raise with the owner so that he could have tried to resolve this and check if there were any faults on the line or with the provider. We hope you otherwise had a great week in the Lakes. Property Owner

“Very good, fantastic venue.”

Only recommendation would be for cleaning sponges, hand soap and washing up liquid to be provided. Everything else was excellent to the highest degree. We loved the venue and would definitely return and recommend. Great location also.

Mrs Kirkham Oct 2018

“Staying in such a unique property was a delight.”

It's well situated for local amenities, and buses, train, and boats are all easily accessible. Windermere can be enjoyed on so many levels - walking, shopping, visiting the cinema or theatre, boating, eating/drinking. Something for everyone.

- Mrs Kirkham, Oct 2018

- Mr Smith, Jul 2018
Mrs Andrews Apr 2018

“The property was in an excellent and in a good position.”

Quiet at night so no disturbances. Handy for Windermere village and a lovely walk into Bowness. Handy for all roads when travelling round the lakes. We had forgotten just how nice The lakes were as it was nearly 20 years since we had been.

The property

Located just a five minute walk from the centre of Windermere, Antrona is a contemporary and stylish apartment with a quirky feel that has been created to offer a good standard of accommodation in a superb location. With a spacious open plan living room and kitchen area and two comfortable bedrooms, Antrona offers a social place for friends and family to relax, or as a romantic retreat for two. With the villages or Windermere and Bowness within walking distance, guests can enjoy the wonderful and varied range of bars, pubs, restaurants and bistros as well as unique and interesting shops and access to a wealth of Lake District attractions and the great outdoors. Orrest Head, School Knott and Brantfell offer lovely walks with rewarding views direct from your front door. If you are feeling slightly more adventurous you can head into the high fells of the Troutbeck or Kentmere Valleys, enjoy mountain biking in Grizedale Forest or even a number of water sports or open water swimming in Lake Windermere. If all of this sounds too energetic, why not head to the Lake to enjoy a romantic evening cruise! == Accommodation in detail Steps lead to a raised decked approach to the front door of Antrona, formally an old grain store and reputedly the birth place of a famous Lakeland kitchenware company which now has stores across the globe! The front door opens onto the large open plan lounge with a cosy log burning stove, plush sofas, large smart TV and sociable round oak dining room table. An ingeniously designed kitchen in an elevated position overlooks the living space, making it a sociable spot to cook and prepare dinner. Climbing the stairs into the mezzanine level, there is a welcoming master bedroom with a king size bed, sloping ceiling and Velux window. Accessed directly from the lounge is the bright and airy second bedroom, with twin beds and the modern family bathroom with WC, hand basin and bath with overhead shower. Step outside onto the decking area to the front of the property where you can sit with your morning coffee on the bench and watch the world go by. The owners welcome one small, well behaved dog. Due to the location of the property it does not have its own garden but a few minutes' walk from Antrona there is a lovely walk through the woods, at Sheriff's Wood, or Queens Park is also close by. There is on street parking close by. Location Antrona is 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 of Lake Windermere from the top. Walk or drive less than a mile 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 breath-taking scenic drives in the Lake District - over Kirkstone Pass to Ullswater with a stop at the acclaimed Queen's Head for lunch.
