    “We stayed at Ravenscroft for a family birthday trip over the weekend.”

    We absolutely loved it, everything was neat, clean and tidy! It was perfect for our dogs too as we could let them out in the garden and the house was very spacious for them. The location was perfect and we were able to walk easily into the town for meals ect. There were just a few small problems we encountered which were that the hot water didn’t work on the last morning as we were leaving and that the parking spaces outside were a little confusing.

    We absolutely loved it, everything was neat, clean and tidy! It was perfect for our dogs too as we could let them out in the garden and the house was very spacious for them. The location was perfect and we were able to walk easily into the town for meals ect. There were just a few small problems we encountered which were that the hot water didn’t work on the last morning as we were leaving and that the parking spaces outside were a little confusing. Two of our party arrived on the Friday and parked in the designated spot for the house that was given on the instructions. However there was also a silver car parked up which they presumed was the neighbours. The rest of our family arrived on Saturday morning and parked in a fairly tight spot around the back of the house, this was fine until it was time to leave. We struggled to get the car back out but eventually got there in the end. The neighbours opposite the back of the house kindly helped us and told us that the silver car was actually parked in one of the designated spots for the house all along and we shouldn’t have squeezed our second car into the tight spot in the first place. As it was nearly impossible to get out and multiple people have knocked into his wall in the past. We absolutely loved the house and didn’t have anything to fault but maybe for other people a little car parking sign could be helpful! :) thank you again! X

The property

This traditional Lakeland residence is conveniently located only a short 5 minute stroll mid way between both vibrant villages of Windermere and Bowness together with the shores of Lake Windermere.

Convenience and space makes Ravenscroft a perfect base for sociable gatherings and family holidays at any time of the year with each of the four large bedrooms enjoying en-suite bathroom facilities.

The reception rooms are also spacious and gracious.

Relax in the garden and on the terrace after a day on the fells.

== Accommodation in detail Park either in your private parking spaces or on the lane and wander through the garden to a traditional entrance porch.

A spacious entrance hall leads into the drawing room with large windows on two sides, polished floor boards and relaxing furnishings.

The dining room is fit for any formal gathering and from here is access into the well equipped kitchen.

On the ground floor is a utility room with 5th WC and then upstairs to the first floor.

On this level are three bedrooms: one with king size bed complete with solid oak bed and en-suite shower room; a further bedroom with king size bed and a third bedroom with twin beds, one with en-suite shower room and one with en-suite bathroom with shower over the bath.

The stairs continue to the top floor king size bedroom complete with en-suite shower room.

Outside the garden wraps around the property with a raised patio with garden furniture.

Location The shore of Lake Windermere is less than a mile away.

Windermere village itself is a charming and vibrant village at the heart of the Lakes.

Only a short drive from the M6, and with good train links from Oxenholme, couples can easily meet up here and will find the village a fantastic Lake District self-catering base for trips throughout the National Park.

The friendly village centre is a delightful community to settle into - tasty cafes, local shops, excellent Booths supermarket, traditional Lakeland pubs and plenty of picturesque Lake District walks from your door.

You must walk up Orrest Head during your stay; the views over Lake Windermere are spectacular.

Walk or drive a mile from your Windermere self-catering apartment, just down the road to Bowness, and you'll find even more to entertain - a wider range of restaurants, shops, pubs and trendy bars, plus the boating activity of Windermere lake shore.

Why not take a cruise on the lake to Ambleside or Lakeside?

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
