Bobtail Cottage
Description
Bobtail Cottage is a lovely end‑of‑terrace cottage set in the outskirts of the village of Ings, near Windermere in the Lake District National Park, featuring exposed stone, exposed timbers, and off‑road parking for one car. Stepping inside, the character of the cottage unfolds instantly, with textured exposed-stone features and wooden beams drawing your eye upwards. The open‑plan living space forms the heart of the home, where the gentle glow from the Smart TV and the warmth of soft lighting invite you to slow down after a day in the fresh Cumbrian air. The kitchen awaits at one end of the room, offering everything you need for laid‑back meals, whether you’re preparing breakfast before a day of watersports or winding down with supper after exploring nearby trails.
Upstairs, the double bedroom offers a charming retreat with its TV, while the bunk room provides a fun space for younger guests. A modern shower room with a walk‑in shower completes the interior, giving everyone an easy start to each morning. Outside, the enclosed gravelled garden provides a pleasant corner for enjoying a morning brew or an evening chat beneath the open sky.
When adventure calls, Windermere is just a short journey away, where its expansive lake sets the scene for watersports, boat trips, and moments spent taking in sweeping views. Those seeking time on foot will find the Lake District National Park rich with walking routes, from gentle rambles to more demanding climbs, each with rewarding scenery. For a blend of culture, shops, and eateries, head to Kendal, where historic streets, galleries, and cafés offer a welcoming change of pace.

What guests are saying
Just got back from our stay in Bobtail cottage.
Initial first view of the cottage, was good, lovely little cottage, but didn’t really understand the relevance to Bobtail, to be honest. Once we started to unpack, we noticed quite a few cobwebs, and dead insects around the cottage, and especially on the windowsills, there was also paper rubbish under the cupboard in the smaller bedroom, and only 1/2 toilet roll for 4 people, plus there was no hand wash, in the kitchen, I could not find any clothes pegs, and there was only 3 drinking mugs, 3 wine glasses, and 3 teaspoons, some of the bowls had chips on them, we also noticed that the freezer door had not been shut properly, and therefore the freezer was completely iced up, and the washer on the kitchen tap was loose, (my son fixed it), also a table and chairs n the garden would have been a nice touch. Location of the cottage is good, although the road out front is a bit noisy.
