Overview
Property code: OC-78288

This cool, contemporary-style apartment in the very heart of the Lake District sleeps four people over two bedrooms and welcomes two four-legged friends. Perfect for a romantic break or a getaway for a small group of friends, this property is ideally located on a quiet street in the popular town of Bowness-on-Windermere. The location is very peaceful, but it’s only a short walk to all the town’s restaurants, pubs and cafes.

Set in a pretty complex of properties, this apartment is warm and welcoming and has a beautiful garden to enjoy. Step inside and you’ll find yourself in a grand open-plan kitchen/diner with large bay windows. The kitchen is a chef’s dream and has everything you need to cook up a storm for your loved ones. Enjoy dinner together around the dining table, or head outside and dine al fresco on the patio. After dinner, chill out with your loved ones in front of the TV in the spacious lounge as your pups snooze at your feet. At the end of the day, you’ll find two lovely bedrooms on the lower ground floor, one of which has patio doors that lead out onto the garden – the perfect spot for morning coffee.

Well-behaved dogs travel free on Windermere Lake Cruises (1.5 miles), so you can enjoy the finest views of England’s longest lake with your pups by your side. Grizedale Forest (14.5 miles) is a wonderful place to walk your four-legged friend, as there are so many different routes to enjoy and you’ll find sculptures dotted throughout the forest. Dogs are also welcome on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (35 miles) for a small charge. Great walkies are available at both stations and your pups will even receive their very own welcome packs upon arrival.

  • 2 bedrooms – 2 king size beds (1 king can be made into a twin, must be stated at the time of booking, less than 7 days notice will incur additional charges)
  • 1 en-suite bathroom with bath, separate shower and WC, 1 en-suite shower room with shower only and 1 separate WC
  • Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer
  • Roadside parking
  • Smart TV in lounge
  • Private garden area with seating and BBQ

A really clean, comfy, cosy cottage situated within the village of Windermere. Dog friendly and a lovely welcome pack of local tea and coffee, milk, shortbread and fudge. All much appreciated after a 7 hour journey. Very quiet peaceful road with loads of free parking and a few hundred yards from a small park for the dog. The perfect base from whichRead more to explore The Lakes and watch Bluebird running on Lake Coniston. Within walking distance of Shops and a couple of nice restaurants. (Highly recommend La Italia) Further afield by car but only a couple of miles was Booths Supermarket (very upmarket ) and quaint pubs with great character and more restaurants. And just a few more miles out mountain passes (not for the faint hearted), Waterfalls, pretty little villages with quirky shops and the most stunning breath taking scenery. We went with good friends and the cottage was so lovely to meet up, re group and relax in the evenings. We hope to come back .Thank you. Hide
