Positioned between Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere, this welcoming retreat places you and your four-legged wanderer in a peaceful South Lakes setting with easy access to lakeshore paths, fell routes and bustling village life. With friendly pubs nearby, open countryside views and countless walking options from gentle waterside strolls to more challenging climbs, it’s an excellent base for guests exploring with a tail-wagger in tow.

Inside, there's a welcoming hallway for shedding boots and wiping muddy paws after days on the trails, alongside a contemporary shower room for freshening up. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area forms the main living hub, with comfortable seating and a dining set positioned to make the most of the views across the surrounding landscape. The kitchen is well-equipped for preparing meals after long days of exploring with your pawed explorer. On the lower ground floor, a social room adds another layer of living space, complete with a bar area and large projector screen for film nights. A desk space supports those needing to check in online, while a utility room and sliding doors leading to the terrace add practical convenience and easy indoor-outdoor flow. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms: a king-size and a super-king-size, both taking in lake views, along with a stylish family bathroom. Outside, a tiered, fully enclosed garden is furnished for outdoor dining and evening drinks while your four-legged traveller explores safely nearby. A private gate leads directly onto Craig Walk, giving immediate access to routes towards School Knott and other local walking trails. Parking for one car is also available.

Lake Windermere is 3.5 miles away, where boat trips glide between shoreline stops and scenic viewpoints, with well-behaved hounds welcome onboard. Windermere village (1 mile) offers independent shops, dog-friendly cafes and restaurants. The market town of Kendal sits 11 miles away, opening up further cultural and shopping options, with many walking routes leading into the fells for curious noses to investigate.

This getaway was very comfortable, both the bathrooms and kitchen were well appointed. About 15 walk from the Lake. Definitely to be recommended.

Property in a great location, ten minute walk to town either way and great walks on your doorstep. Home from home in the sense it has all you need, washing machine dryer. The down stairs projector room / bar was a great place to spend time in. Unfortunately all this is let down by a few things, the front and rear of the property was very untidy, oRead morevergrown and scruffy looking. Gate at the back of the garden is unsecure due to a broken latch, we had to put something against the gate to stop dog getting out, also stairs very steep so not very dog friendly, i know this is something that they cant really rectify but its something for people to bare in mind when looking at booking with a dog if there are not comfortable with stairs. Kitchen cupboards cluttered and not enough space for food. In the lounge sofa could do with replacing as uncomfortable, stairs could be deemed dangerous as no carpet on them making them slippy and bedroom light in the back room did not work. These issues just need sorting and it would be a lovely place to stay and want to return too. Hide

The house was clean and tidy and well equipped for our stay, the downstairs bar/ entertainment room was great, it was about a 20 minute walk into the centre of Bowness so location was good although quite steep hills to get back.

A really nice modern property with a great selection of items inside. The area was very quiet and peaceful with a great view. The bar room and large projector screen tv made it stand out from other places weve stayed.
