    “There are not enough words to describe this fantastic property.”

    The Potting Shed was top notch. Not only in character it was warm, cosy, stylish, very well looked after and just simply brilliant. The Potting Shed gave us the opportunity to see deer everyday intense gardens and Owls at night. Stunning location near the town but also far away that you could hear a pin drop.

Definitely a place to go to switch off from life at 100 mikes an hour, will definitely recommend and will be returning.

This charming cottage has been finished to an exceptionally high standard and furnished with beautiful features throughout; it is ideal for a couple looking to explore some of The Lake Districts most beautiful areas. Come back to the cottage after a day of sightseeing or hiking the nearby fells and relax on the plush sofa in front of the TV and woodburning stove, which together create an atmosphere of warmth and welcome. Cook delicious meals for you and your significant other in the kitchen, which features cream cabinets and sloping ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light. A dishwasher and a washing machine are provided for your convenience. Upstairs you will find the king-size bedroom, tastefully decorated in neutral tones with attractive fabrics, and the shower room with a refreshing walk-in shower. Parking for one car is available adjacent to the property and a charming south facing patio provides a spot for al fresco dining on warm afternoons Why not head into the heart of Windermere, where you'll find an abundance of cafes, pubs, and restaurants, as well as plenty of shops selling everything from essentials to souvenirs for friends and family. An enjoyable day trip can be had by boarding the famous Windermere steamer and taking a cruise around England's largest lake, making stops in Ambleside and Lakeside along the way. Walking routes in the area are plentiful, with the beautiful School Knott positioned just behind the property, and situated close to Post Knott, Brant Fell and Biskey Howe viewpoints, all offering sweeping vistas of the surrounding countryside. Nearby you will find Windermere Golf Club, offering a beautiful course along with a bar and restaurant. Also close by is the AA 5 star restaurant Gilpin Spice. Water sports abound on the lake, and cyclists will delight in the extensive cycling paths that wind through the National Park.
