Property code: LCC33

Enjoy a peaceful escape with the whole family at this unique property, with space for up to eight guests across four elegant bedrooms. And don’t forget Fido and Mutley - with ample country and lakeside walks on the doorstep, this is a haven for your stick-chasing best furry friends. You’ll find a popular village pub right across the road where you can mingle with the locals and discover their top tips for the area, offering an authentic Lake District escape like no other.

Formerly the village shop, this converted property makes a delightful and spacious place to stay in one of the Lake District’s best-loved villages. The lounge offers a stylish and comfortable space to unwind, with a bay window letting the natural light flood in by day and a wood burner creating a cosy haven by night. With two inviting sofas, there is plenty of space for everyone to curl up and enjoy a film together, although for kids wanting their own space there’s a further reception room which has been turned into a games den. Enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal at the large dining table, which has space for the whole family, although in summer months why not dine alfresco in the rear patio? Upstairs, you’ll find three of the property’s comfortable and elegant bedrooms on the first floor (two doubles and one pleasant twin), while the fourth bedroom lies in the attic and has some reduced head height due to the sloping ceiling.

With Lake Windermere 2 miles from the property, you have the best of the Lake District on your doorstep. Lace up your walking boots and explore the many incredible walking routes the area boasts. From the lake’s shore, take the ferry to Bowness-on-Windermere (12 miles by car) - the Lake District’s most popular destination.

A brilliant place to stay. Luxurious with the added bonus of 3 bathrooms. We would certainly stay here again. We had to call the maintenance company when the lock broke. They were super efficient in coming out and sorting out the issue.

A very nice cottage, warm, nicely furnished and comfortable in a great location. Good wifi and Sky tv. Lovely walks from the door and higher peaks in the central lakes area easily within reach by car. Parking can be tricky for 3 or more cars especially if theyre med/large ones.

Lovely cottage and very spacious with room for a large group. The log burner was welcomed as we had a very wet week. There is parking for 3 cars although 2 is ideal. Kitchen was well equipped and there is a lovely small courtyard when it stops raining. 2 good pubs in walking distance and a great location.

Notwithstanding the above that totally ruined our experience then the offer is good . Perhaps a review of on site car parking would help Sorry to make the negative comments above but feel you should be aware of same . This reflects out answer below because save that it is a lovely property in a quiet beautiful location

This is a lovely cottage and much larger than initially expected. The kitchen was very well equipped even for a professional chef like me. The two sitting rooms although next door to each other provided very separate and noise resistant space for different groups. Altogether a great holiday let and one we will most definitely return to.
