Overview
Property code: SZ013

A charming, slate-built cottage with lovely outdoor space for al fresco evenings, escape to the Lake District National Park and enjoy the creature comforts of this home after walks and adventures.

This welcoming, traditional cottage sits between the foot of Coniston Water and Lake Windermere, both of which offer a wealth of things to do and see. 7 miles from the tip of Coniston Water, treat yourselves to spot of lunch before making a splash and hiring boats or booking on a cruise. Take to the water and hire paddleboards or let someone else do the hard work as you take a ride on the gondola. Lake Windermere is the largest natural lake in England and is well worth a trip. 10.5 miles from the vibrant town of Bowness-on-Windermere, enjoy all the area has to offer and walk, boat and explore your way around the water and the water’s edge. If you fancy staying local, hop on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway for a train journey to remember.

Arrive at this pretty, slate-built cottage and step inside to make yourselves at home. The open-plan living space creates a welcoming hub of the home where you can spend lazy mornings, chilled afternoons and cosy evenings. Perfectly positioned around the warming wood burner, the pair of comfortable sofas invite you to sink in and relax in front of the TV/DVD or with a good book in hand. The spacious, light kitchen area has all you need for your designated chef. After plating up at the table, enjoy a communal meal reminiscing on the days adventures and planning the next. Flooding the space with natural light, the French doors open out to the courtyard garden, letting the outside in. Rest weary heads upstairs in the double bedroom and the twin bedroom which are decorated with pretty patterns and calming, neutral tones. Views reach across the pretty Lakeland houses and out over the front garden and both bedrooms are lovely spots in which to switch off and snuggle down. Flooded with light from the skylight, the family bathroom has a tub for you to soak in and a shower over the bath for a quick freshen up.

Offering the perfect place to sip your morning coffee or to sit with a tipple on balmy evenings, the courtyard garden has a table and chairs and is surrounded by pretty borders. There is parking for one car outside the property, from which steps lead down to the garden.

Had a really enjoyable trip to the area with reasonable weather for a long weekend in March. The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable, could have easily stayed longer.

Very comfortable cottage in a beautiful location. Very easy access to the southern Lake District and local attractions. We were a party of three adults and one teenager and it was perfect. Very well equipped and the initial supply of logs for the log burner and wine was much appreciated! Even though towels were not provided (as per description) theRead morere was a bath mat and tea towels which was helpful. There was also an initial supply of dishwasher/washing machine tablets. Highly recommended! Hide

A lovely beautifully decorated cottage. Well furnished and with some thoughtful touches like the books games and maps, initial supply of logs and wine. But I would not recommend the cottage for anybody with any mobility issues. Only access is via a flight of difficult steep steps down not obvious from website photos. Also many things out of reach uRead morenless you are tall eg wardrobe rail, thermostat, radio, shower head key safe. But otherwise well furnished and spotlessly clean. Hide

5 stars for cleanliness really. Gave 4 because of cooking smells. Being open plan, not sure how you would get round this. 4 stars for location just personal choice.

Wonderful house in a great location. Windermere 7 minutes drive away. The house had a very well equipped kitchen and was comfortable for our 2 week stay. We cooked in most days and enjoyed using the garden area in the afternoons when it was too hot to take our dogs out. Blessed with gorgeous weather. The house is overall great - highly recommended

It would be much easier with having toddlers if we could check in earlier like we used to be able to, 17:30 is very late when they're in bed by 19:00.
