For those who want to spend their holiday looking out over Lake Windermere and enjoying the surrounding area, there could be no better place to stay than in this Lakeland home. There is a lot on offer nearby from taking the ferry over to Bowness which is ideal for foodies as there is an abundance of pubs, restaurants and cafés. Or head up the road passing the Beatrix Potter home, Hilltop, and carry on to the quaint village of Hawkshead (3.5 miles) which offers a quieter atmosphere with a few pubs, cafés, and outlets to choose from.

This property is the perfect place to get away and unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The kitchen is equipped for all your needs with a Range electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher along with a wonderful wood burner to enjoy whilst eating at the dining table.

Down a step and you will reach the family bathroom with a separate shower, bath, and WC. Lastly is the double bedroom with its own private balcony.

The wonderful front garden with stunning views over Lake Windermere, perfect for an evening meal whilst chilling. There are also wonderful, shared gardens to enjoy with the same majestic views of the water. On-site parking is available for up to two cars.

Would only give this 3 stars overall. The house and location were very nice. Room for improvement in areas with regard fixtures and fittings. Example curtains falling off rails and not enough kitchen equipment. Loose handles on all the kitchen cupboards house needs some general TLC.
