"Smithy Cottage is a quintessential 17th Century Lakeland cottage full of character and charm, blending beautifully with 21st century life, in a picture postcard setting only a short drive from the bustling Bowness-on-Windermere. The Lyth Valley, renowned for plum and damson trees is but a short drive away, and you’ll pass excellent eating houses renowned for their cuisine and use of local produce. The area is a cyclist's paradise and Smithy Cottage can offer secure bicycle storage. A 10-minute stroll will bring you to the prestigious Windermere Golf Club which borders Lindeth Lane. Only 2 miles to Bowness on Windermere and the Lake, and the area has many low-level countryside walks leading directly from the cottage.
This property isn't suitable for children under 12, please bear this in mind upon booking.
The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip.
