About this property

An outstanding cottage set in an elevated position in woodland within walking distance of Bowness-on-Windermere and minutes from Lake Windermere. Guests will be thrilled as they arrive in this hidden glade set amongst mature woodland, with native trees and local wildlife on display. An ideal location for that much sought after Lakeland break with family and friends, explore the area, discover the many footpaths or simply relax in the hot tub and take in the beautiful surroundings. Recently renovated, this contemporary and well equipped cottage offers an ideal layout, with many of the aspects taking advantage of the lovely views out across to the nearby tarn. The sitting room is spacious and includes a cosy woodburning stove, a large screen wall-mounted Smart TV and stylish, comfortable furnishings. A delightful, well-equipped kitchen with open plan dining area and an adjoining utility area provide a great space to prepare family meals and sit around to enjoy a glass of wine and a good old catch up. A ground floor bedroom with king-size double divan luxurious bed and a modern en-suite with walk-in shower provide that little extra touch of luxury and are accessible for those with limited mobility. There is also a useful cloakroom in the utility area and a spacious entrance hall. Upstairs the cottage features a further four bedrooms, two with en-suite and a superb family bathroom with a relaxing bath. Outside, there is a decked area overlooking the woods and a luxurious hot tub, an ideal spot to relax after a strenuous day out on the local fells.

Just a short distance away is the wonderful Windermere Golf Club, a most welcoming club with a great layout to suit all standards. In the opposite direction, a short walk takes guests down to the Lake Ferry where a short cruise gives access to the far shore, Hawkshead, Coniston Water and the magical Tarn Hows. All the facilities of Bowness-on-Windermere are are on the doorstep and the not to be missed attractions include the hand-made chocolate shop and the wonderful walks along the Bowness promenade where the many cruise ships run down the Lake to Ambleside. There are picturesque walks straight from the cottage door including the Dales Way which runs by the golf club, footpaths to Crook and Staveley and for the more adventurous, walks across to Cartmel Fell. Further afield Brant Fell which provides stunning views over Lake Windermere and its surrounding fells, including the Langdales and Crinkle Crags are some of the most outstanding challenges in this wonderful area. A delightful cottage in a beautiful area, ideal for family and friends to get together and enjoy a very special Lakeland holiday.

    Only thing missing was the personal touch, e.g. welcoming us when we arrived. A larger welcoming present e.g. with the essentials more biscuits, tea bags, chocolate, sweets. Ducks are nice but leaving mess on patio, maybe a pooper scooper to clean up. Dressing gowns for hot tub would be a luxury or even hot tub towels.

    So many thoughtful additions. Everything we could possibly need. Excellent and the hot tub very popular! Sarah was very helpful in advance with info on local eateries and things to do not to mention being greeted with some gingerbread! Not sure if that was just good timing on our arrival but lovely! It was a long weekend break to celebrate our golden wedding Easter Saturday and we prebooked a family run Italian in Bowness for the evening which was perfect. Party of 8 ranging from 17 to 72. All very impressed with accommodation. Hot tub extremely popular! Lovely bonus. Ideally we would have liked an earlier check in time than 5 pm but we planned around it. We had decided to do trip into Coniston on route to see Bluebird but we received a message from Sarah just before to say we'd be ok from 1 pm which worked perfectly. We decided to drop our things off on way then go to Coniston. The accommodation was so lovely we forgot we'd planned Coniston! Suddenly remembered and jumped car arriving at 4 pm to catch last hour which was fine. The younger element of party were arriving in evening after work (aiming straight for hot tub!).... During our stay we did a boat ride to Ambleside, a good explore around Bowness and a walk into Windermere and up to Orrel Head. We did walk everywhere locally and distances given all good, however it is the Lakes and accommodation a good "stroll" uphill but well worth the effort. It is quite a strenuous walk but we were all fine although dare I say the elders coped rather better than the younger element in the group! A really lovely stay. Thank you!
