Flexible accommodation which suited our three generation family stay very well - the excellent bathroom facilities were a real bonus! Nicely fitted out with good quality china and cutlery and comfortable bedding.Would definitely recommend.

Lovely property, which included all bedding and towels. Also, plenty of cutlery and crockery, as well as washing up liquid, sponges, cloths and dish washer tablets. Games, books and DVDs if you wanted them. 4 showers in the property and 3 toilets (one in an en-suite), so no queues for the loo! Lovely large dining table, where we also played games in the evenings. Also a small dining table in the kitchen. Two nice sitting areas with TVs.Plenty of room to not get under everyone's feet! Just off the main area of Windermere, where there are lots of shops, cafes and a couple of supermarkets. Short drive (5 minutes) to Bowness on Windermere, which is a slightly bigger town with lots more shoos and restaurants. Also you can go on a ferry to the other side of Windermere, boat trips to other places around the lake, or hire your own little boat. You can also book to go Kayaking or paddle boarding. Beatrix Potter attraction is very good, and a lot of other attractions are very close in a car.
