    “This was our second visit to Lingmell and overall we had a brilliant stay.”

    We were looking at it again for a future stay but already booked for our dates so have had to look elsewhere. Excellent location and nicely furnished. Welcome pack is a nice touch and appreciated. The top floor bedrooms could maybe do with a small mirror just for convenience more than anything and in some places maybe a lick of paint but nothing major and it certainly wouldn't put us off staying again. Would definitely come again and highly recommend.

If you're looking for a home with generous sized bedrooms and a great living space, then this is the place for you to relax and recharge your batteries. The delights of Windermere and Bowness village are less than a 10 minute walk away, with their excellent bars, cafes and restaurants, and of course the famous World of Beatrix Potter attraction in Bowness. An absolute bonus for this property is that you don't even require a car to get here; it’s within easy reach by using local public transport.

While away the evenings in front of the Smart TV with soundbar or chatting with friends or playing games with the family, or taking advantage of the accommodation’s Netflix package. The Kitchen/Diner is very well designed with a full complement of integrated appliances including an American style fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, gas hob and electric double oven. You have all you need to cook up a feast, a great social space where you can sit and chat with a glass of wine whilst preparing meals. The washing machine /tumble dryer is tucked out of the way in a cupboard to avoid any noise. On the first floor there are two lovely king size rooms with TV’s, which are light and airy. One has an en suite with shower, wc, basin, and shaver point. The family bathroom is located on this floor and has a bath with shower over, wc, basin and light with shaver point.

Parking is located on the road outside the property, and no permits or parking restrictions apply. Location On the eastern shores of Lake Windermere, Bowness is a sophisticated Lakeland village with so much to explore and enjoy. Within minutes from Lingmell you can be enjoying walks with magnificent views such as to Biskey Howe, Brant Fell and School Knott. Stroll to the lake shore to hire a rowboat or power boat, or take an elegant cruise on one of the Lake Windermere steamers. Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly to Ambleside and Lakeside; a wonderful way to explore without even using your car. There are many excellent restaurants in Bowness and Windermere, all within walking distance of Lingmell including champagne bars, contemporary wine bars and traditional pubs offering a range of great British and international cuisine. There is something for everyone, both in the village centre and the surrounding countryside. Windermere Golf Club is just outside Bowness village, on the way to the Lyth Valley. This area is also renowned for gentle but very scenic walking, with a wealth of acclaimed Lake District country pubs to choose from at the end of the day. Close to the village, you'll find Blackwell, The Arts and Crafts House. This impressive property takes a stunning position overlooking Lake Windermere, and has a range of interesting exhibitions. Join the A591 to Ambleside and Grasmere, and you can explore the homes of famous Lake District poet, William Wordsworth. Another great idea is to take the car-ferry crossing over Lake Windermere from Bowness, to visit the former home of Beatrix Potter in Near Sawrey, and the nearby picturesque village of Hawkshead.

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