Mosslea is an excellent choice if you'd prefer not to drive during your Lake District holiday.

The village has a contemporary shopping street with everything you could need during your self-catering holiday in the Lake District. Tesco supermarket, tempting delicatessens and boutique gift shops.

Windermere Golf Club is just outside Bowness, on the way towards Crook and the Lyth and Winster Valleys with some excellent and award-winning country pubs to choose from. Try the Punch Bowl, The Black Labrador, the Mason's Arms, or the Brown Horse or the Hare and Hounds. You’ll be spoilt for choice!

A step ladder or something to stand on in the kitchen would be useful as the fridge was above the freezer and it meant all it's shelves were high up. We appreciated just how spacious the property is and loved the tiny 'garden' area and small balcony off the bedroom.
