“The house wasn't cleaned when we arrived but this was soon put right,although it put a dampener to the start of the holiday after a 6 hour drive.”

The house was OK but the water pressure was a trickle and bits of the ceiling were peeling off the wall in the kitchen. We were under the impression that the house was next to the lake, which it was but there was no access.

“Pleasant house for our family and dogs and good nearby places of interest.”

Eg. Pleasure boats, steam train, aquarium, walks, cycling. The biggest problem was the very short walk to these places did not have a safe footpath so we had to walk in the road or drive to them.

“Good location and although close to the lakeside ferry, it was not a road you would want to walk children on.”

No pavement and walls either side, with very fast traffic. The cottage was perfect for a family with comfortable beds but I think it may have been courteous to let us know the access road was being completely dug up and replaced during the week of our stay. The workman were helpful in letting us get in and out but we did worry about damage to our car with raised drains and hardcore. I'm sure this will be complete for any future stay but was a little disappointed no one spoke to us about this.

“Spacious and comfortable cottage in a good and quiet location.”

Cottage is close to Lake Windermere, where the ferry and steam train are based.

“The cottage was perfect for us, we were a group consisting of active grandparents, a young couple with two small children and two dogs.”

The cottage is just as described, and is spacious, comfortable and in a lovely setting, with a wrap around garden. The rear section of the garden is enclosed, making it safe and secure for the children and the dogs, and there is a newly constructed little summer house in the front section of the garden - perfect for breakfast or morning coffee. There is sun in different parts of the garden all day, so always somewhere to sit out. There is also a lockable garage for storing bikes or other outdoor equipment. The location was excellent, turn right out of the close and you are only a 5 minute walk from the Lakeside Steamer, Haverthwaite Steam Railway, the aquarium and a hotel, turn left and it is only a 5 minute walk to a lovely wooded, hillside walk. There is no pavement, so care does need to be taken when walking to both, but we managed easily with children, a buggy, a cockapoo and a Labrador. Despite the proximity to Lake activities, the cottage and it’s garden were peaceful and quiet - with only the occasional toot from the steam train. This area of the Lakes is beautiful, and there are loads of places to hike and bike, and even at half term, the smaller roads and walking trails were quiet and tranquil. We found it a perfect getaway and highly recommend it. Wish we were still there!

“Nutwood is a lovely quiet, sunny bungalow.”

We could walk into the hills from the door, or round to Lakeside Quay for coffees by the lake or a boat trip. Lovely comfortable beds! Would definitely return.

The property

At the southern tip of Lake Windermere, this charming bungalow benefits from an attractive, secluded setting at the end of a private close in Lakeside. Surrounded by wonderful walks and a network of pretty and peaceful lanes, Nutwood remains within easy reach of a wide variety of excursions and activities. It's just a 10-minute stroll to Lakeside Pier for cruises to Windermere and Ambleside, The Lakes Aquarium and the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Steam Railway. The accommodation is spacious, well presented and carefully planned for relaxed holidays at any time of year. Cosy-up by the wood-burning stove, on the comfy seating, in the recently updated living room or fling open the patio doors to the balcony on summer days. From your family-sized dining kitchen, spread out into the furnished conservatory and lovely little patio garden. == Accommodation in detail Private parking for 1 car. Front entrance lobby leading to a spacious inner hall. The living room is large and airy with wood burning stove and patio doors leading out to the furnished balcony. Well-equipped, family-size dining kitchen with access to the furnished conservatory, furnished patio area and garden. 3 good-sized bedrooms; 1 king size, 1 double and 1 twin. House bathroom with shower over bath and separate WC. Location Lakeside is renowned as a peaceful Lake District holiday destination, nestled around the southern tip of Lake Windermere and away from the hustle and bustle of the busier areas. But despite this, you'll find a wealth of things to see and do within easy reach - whatever your holiday tastes. Windermere Lake Cruises depart from Lakeside Pier, and ferry passengers the full length of Lake Windermere to Bowness and Ambleside - a wonderfully stress-free way to explore. You'll find plenty of walking routes in the area; including Alfred Wainwright's Finsthwaite Heights route from Newby Bridge (adjacent to Lakeside). Also nearby, two popular Lake District family attractions - the Lakes Aquarium and the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Steam Railway. Lake District historic sites such as Holker Hall and Gardens, Cartmel Priory, Stott Park Bobbin Mill, Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall are all within easy reach by car, with no need to navigate through busy tourist areas. To the north west, you'll approach Esthwaite Water and the landscapes that famously inspired the children's author Beatrix Potter. Her former home can be visited at Hill Top, in the small village of Near Sawrey. Only a mile or so further, and you'll reach Hawkshead village - a wonderful place to while away a day, exploring quaint cobbled streets and a blissfully car-free village centre.

About the location

LAKESIDE

Newby Bridge 1.2 miles; Bowness-on-Windermere 8.7 miles.

Set on the southern shores of Lake Windermere, the small, sleepy hamlet of Lakeside offers a peaceful getaway location, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the Lake District’s popular attractions, but still within easy reach of them. Whether you decide to discover the area in the car, by foot, bike, boat or steam, there’s plenty to see nearby to keep the whole family content. The ferry dock offers the chance to travel by boat to Waterhead or Bowness, or take a shorter trip to the National Trust’s Fell Foot Park, across the water, which offers pretty grounds set alongside the very tip of the lake, providing plenty of places for picnics, paddling, games and gentle strolls on sunny afternoons. Situated alongside the Lakeside Station is the long-standing Lakeside and Haverwaithe Railway, home to Britain’s oldest standard gauge steam engine, on which you can travel back in time along this well-loved Heritage line, and where little ones will delight in meeting Thomas and his friends. Visit the Lakes Aquarium to uncover the often-secretive world of life below water, where you’ll chance upon hundreds of captivating creatures that feature in the surrounding rivers, lakes and sea. There are wonderful, well-signed walks to be enjoyed in the immediate area, including the 5-mile route to Finsthwaite’s High Dam, which trails from Lakeside through pleasant woodlands and meadows. Lakeside offers an exclusive holiday location with all of the Lake District’s delights at your fingertips.
