    “Gorgeous property in a quiet street.”

    We visited during school holidays so can’t comment on any noise that may be heard from the two small schools in very close proximity, but might be worth noting in term time. We had several walks from the door, a mile or so and your in the hills. Clean and very well maintained throughout. My only gripe if I had to have one was that there were no blinds in the kitchen or lounge, which left little privacy from the house across the street. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chestnuts ...

    Dear Lucy Thank you for your constructive feedback and lovely comments . For clarity, The blinds for the lounge have been on order since early February, unfortunately a misaligned decimal point on behalf of the fitter has meant that we are having to wait for a replacement. This will be fitted as soon as it arrives. I would also like to respond to your concern with regards to the school on the road. We have had the cottage for over 4 years now and no guest has ever made comment about noise issues. We have stayed ourselves during school terms and have never experienced any issues with noise. Furthermore I am also aware that the school is potentially looking to close due to such low numbers. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay as we do endeavour to ensure that Chestnuts cottage is a beautiful and well maintained doggy friendly holiday home. Many Thanks Best Regards Carla & Matt Property Owner

The property

This magnificent three-bedroom dwelling, Chestnuts Cottage, is located in the sought-after town of Windermere in the Cumbrian countryside.

The cottage comfortably welcomes five adults or a family of six with one well-behaved small to medium sized pooch.

It has a desirable location within the Lake District National Park and is a short stroll from Lake Windermere.

It also benefits from off street parking, a rarity in this busy town, a contemporary interior, an elevated patio, and three well-appointed en-suite bedrooms, making it ideal for a family staycation.

Enjoy the fully equipped kitchen/diner where you may cook and eat meals together as a group and reminisce about the days adventures or alternatively utilise the beautifully appointed downstairs patio for an alfresco dining experience.

Travel upstairs to the cosy sitting area with plush sofas and a soothing virtual flame electric fireplace.

Open the patio doors on warm days and evenings to enjoy a glass of wine on the private elevated terrace with mood lighting, colourful flowerbeds and planters surrounding it. As the night progresses, discover three roomy bedrooms, including a ground-floor king-size, a double, and a bunk room, all furnished with storage, TVs, and en-suite facilities.

Be sure to get some well-deserved rest before another day of lakeside fun.

Get ready with convenience in mind, before visiting Windermere and all of its lovely attractions; you couldn’t ask for a better location!

Cafe Italia, Tilly's and Hooked are firm favourites, and there's a variety of convenience stores where you can pick up necessities.

Near to Chestnuts Cottage, embark on a hike up to Orrest Head Viewpoint for vistas of the lake, or consider taking a Windermere Lake Cruise while en route to The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction.
