Overview

Return to this light and spacious home from home after a day exploring fantastic fells, stunning scenery and gentle walks along Lake Windermere’s shoreline.

Ideally situated in the heart of Windermere, this charming stone-built terraced house makes a fresh and inviting holiday home for four guests and a pet dog. Perfect for families, couples and a canine companion seeking a central location for exploring the Lake District, the property is less than a mile from the impressive lake which gives the town its name. Within a couple of hundred metres of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants, this light, cosy and relaxing getaway is a fabulous retreat for eager walkers, nature lovers and water sports fans discovering this breathtaking region.

A few steps lead up into this refreshing property, with an airy lounge with bay windows, a coal-effect electric fire, TV and plenty of seating. The sociable dining room features a warming wood burner and makes a lovely spot for gathering together to chat about the day and share a meal that you can prepare in the stylishly designed kitchen. Upstairs, there are two bright, light-filled bedrooms: a double and a twin, each with plenty of storage space and a large sash window. The family bathroom has a shower over a D-shaped bath, plus a skylight. Outside, the backyard offers a bench perfect for enjoying a coffee in the morning sunshine, or you can watch the world go by from the bench to the front of the house. There’s plenty of space for your dog to exercise in Queen’s Park, just 300 metres along the road.

Dogs are welcome at plenty of local attractions including Brockhole on Windermere (2.5 miles) and in the grounds and estate surrounding Wray Castle (8 miles). As well as Windermere, the cottage is within easy reach of Esthwaite Water (10.5 miles), Rydal Water (7 miles) and Grasmere (9 miles), offering miles of spellbinding walks for you and your dog to enjoy.

The location was amazing but sadly went downhill from there. Rated as dog friendly but garden not at all secure with broken and rickety gates. We arrived to overflowing dustbin and glass bank. I can see that the problems with the cottage being unloved was reported last September (2022) but still no improvement. Mould and damp in kitchen, downstairsRead more loo and bathroom. Holes in walls and skirting boards and paintwork really scuffed. Sofas in lounge dirty and stained. Poor value for money, Hide

Great spacious cottage at a fantastic location. It's situated very well just off the high street but does have parking for a large car which is very handy. Some lovely bars and restaurants in walking distance. The beds are comfortable and the shower is very nice.

Great location a few yards to all amenities and 1.5mile walk to Bowness on Windermere. Comfortable cottage with modern kitchen and bathroom and has everything you need. Modestly furnished in Living room and bedrooms probably needs bring up to date with additional home furnishing to make it more cosier. Car parking a real bonus at the rear.

For the money, the property was fine, but it was rather basic and the living room in particular didnt feel very comfortable.

The cottage is in a great location for accessing the shops, eating places and other facilities in the town centre. Having a parking space is very good.

Roomy and comfortable holiday property. Great to have off street parking and close to Windermere Town - less than 100m to shops. Bowness-on-Windermere is less that 30 minutes walk away - or there is an open top bus service every 20 minutes. Getting in and out of the bath, for a shower - which is excellent, by the way - is a problem for those of us Read morewith mobility issues. Notwithstanding that, we had a super week exploring near and far - despite the rain!!! Hide
