.perfect location..your own parking spot(a must in Windermere) 10 min walk into Bowness, Spar shop 2 mins away,accommodation spotless and everything you need..nice to have a secure front yard for dogs..not really a "garden" more of a gravel patch..only complaint would be the sofa is a little "tired"..and the bed was a bit hard for us..but we would return .
