Fairfield - Bowness-on-windermere

This Lakeland bolthole enjoys a central setting within the national park, giving easy access to Lake District highlights such as Windermere, Coniston Water, and Grizedale Forest (all within 15 miles). Sleeping eight guests and three furry chums, it’s the perfect base for families and groups of friends seeking an outdoor adventure-filled holiday in breathtaking surroundings. The property has a choice of al fresco dining areas, allowing you to follow the sunshine throughout the day.

The contemporary holiday home sits on a quiet residential lane and is decorated in neutral tones and delicate pastel shades, creating a calm and relaxing setting for your getaway. The welcoming lounge is bathed in natural light, and features an array of comfortable seating to relax on after a day of exploring. The kitchen has everything needed to rustle up tasty dinners for the group, as well as a breakfast bar for perching at with a morning coffee. Three steps from the hallway lead to the formal dining room, where you can spend memorable evenings tucking into delicious, home-cooked food. This room has direct access to the garden, making it a good spot for the dog beds. The four inviting bedrooms are upstairs, one of which has a handy shower in one corner of the room. There is also a family bathroom on this level. Outside, the hounds can play in the enclosed rear garden, which also has furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining. There’s also a west-facing front patio – ideal for a sundowner after a busy day. The garage houses the utility room and a sink for washing muddy paws and walking boots, and has ample space for storing bikes.

Bowness-on-Windermere is a hive of activity throughout the year, with many companies offering all manner of outdoor activities and water sports. The town also has a great range of independent shops and paw-friendly eateries. As expected, the walking in the area is exceptional. From the town, let the hounds lead the way to the jaw-dropping viewpoint of Orrest Head (1 mile), which provides panoramic views across the lake and surrounding fells. Alternatively, wander down to Bowness Pier (0.5 miles) to board one of the boats, to admire the iconic scenery from the water.
