This warm and cosy apartment is set between Windermere and Bowness in the very heart of the Lakes, with everything on your doorstep to make a perfect holiday.

This beautiful property, situated less than a mile’s walk from the centre of Windermere, is perfect for a couples’ retreat or family holiday – and that includes your canine companion! Sleeping four across two stunning bedrooms and with enough space for the pup to stretch out, this is the ideal space for you to return to after a day of walking and adventures. Take the hound with you on a lake cruise from Windermere Lake Cruises (1 mile) or simply take in the views from the stunning pathways around the water.

Step inside the apartment into a huge kitchen/diner with beautiful bay windows, making the space bright and airy; Fido is bound to find a sunspot to lounge in here! The lounge, with wonderful high ceilings and pretty nautical touches, is a tranquil place to wind down in after a long day out; curl up on the comfy sofas with a good book or catch up on some box sets on the Smart TV. Upstairs, the bedrooms lend a boutique feel to your stay. Wake up among soft, neutral decor and take an invigorating shower or a bath to kick-start your day.

When you’ve explored Bowness-on-Windermere (0.5 miles) and Windermere itself, head over the water to Beatrix Potter’s 17th-century farmhouse, Hill Top (4 miles on foot and ferry; 12 miles by car) – dogs are welcome in the gardens. Spend the day at one of the most famous Lake District waterfalls, Aira Force, where you’ll catch a glimpse of a landscaped Victorian park and arboretum. Market town and home of the famous mint cake Kendal (9.5 miles) is a must-visit; there are plenty of bookshops, gift shops and cafes to peruse along with walking trails suitable for all ages and species!

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 king-size, 1 super king-size (can be made into a twin, must be stated at the time of booking)
  • 1 bathroom with bath, shower and WC.
  • Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer
  • Roadside parking
  • Shops, pubs and restaurants within walking distance
  • Smart TV in lounge
  • Arrival: 17:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • 1 dog allowed. Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week

Lovely little cottage just a short walk away from shops, restaurants (some vegan options!) and bars. We are always looking for dog friendly cottages and this ticked all of the boxes. Only slight criticism is we asked if an early check in was possible (5pm was quite late). We were told 2pm should be fine but we didn't end up being able to go in untiRead morel just before 4pm. Not a huge issue but would have preferred just being told an early check in was unlikely. Would still recommend and stay again! Hide

Perfect location for both Windermere and Bowness. As a family we were able to do multiple walks from the house, in addition to using public transport to go a little further a field. Comfortable for any family of four.
