Overview
Property code: OC-LR171

A cosy cottage for two, this delightful hideaway is perfect for couples on a romantic break to the Lake District. Sleeping just two guests, the one-bedroom haven sits with another larger holiday home in beautiful grounds at Bowness-on-Windermere. Make the most of it as a base from which to discover the beauty of Windermere and the undulating fells surrounding the magnificent lake. Lace up your walking boots and head off to beauty spots such as Brant Fell, just 1 mile away, or follow the longer 5.5-mile Bowness-on-Windermere Circular, with its astounding views across the lake from different positions. Stroll 0.5 miles to the shores of Windermere. Head out from here on foot to find shops and eateries too. From the jetty, 1 mile away, you can step aboard a cruise that will take you out onto the water to admire the scenery. You can also hire rowing and motor boats.

Return from your exciting trips out to step into the cottage and find yourselves in the cosy lounge/diner. Attractively finished and featuring interesting lighting, this is the perfect place to gather your thoughts between adventures. Light the wood burner here and cuddle up on the sumptuous sofa in front of your current boxset. Dine in style at the table whenever you choose not to eat out in a local restaurant. Head through to the compact kitchen where you will find everything you need to help you prepare these meals with the Cumbrian produce you have shopped for. Your chic modern shower room is also at this level, together with a space for leaving coats and footwear. As day turns to night, climb the stairs up to your gorgeous king-size bedroom, with its abundance of woodwork and bespoke oak furnishings, to savour a superb night's sleep.

Make the most of the outside space at this cottage. Enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening out on the patio. Take your dog to explore the extensive gardens, supervising him at all times, as much of the land is not fully enclosed and there are sheep in the adjacent fields. There is off-road parking for one car with this cottage.

We were the first guests to stay at the newly refurbishied Windy hall cottage in July 2025. The properly was fabulous. It has been fitted out to a very high standard. The cottage itself is located in lovely grounds. We even had deer wander up to our kitchen window. Lake windermere is a short 15 minute down hill walk. Julian (the host) was very frieRead morendly and couldnt do enough to make our stay comfortable. We hope to return. Hide

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location easily accessible to Bowness and surrounding areas (in a car). Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay at this Cottage. A hidden gem, and exceeded out expectations- which were already high. The patio area is a delight, and the bed super comfortable. Beautifully fitted and kitted out, we' would highly recommend Windy Hall Cottage.

This is a small cottage for two people which has been very nicely finished. A well thought out design with everything you need for a great stay. Living/dining area was comfortable for sitting in and the small dining table and chairs were by the window for natural light. The light fittings were very nice also. There is a log burner - there were no lRead moreogs - but it is the summer. A smart TV is on the wall above the log burner - I never used it. The kitchen which is off the living/dining area was up one step and although not huge had everything you needed. The shower room and toilet are next to the kitchen. Very smart finish and the shower was fabulous. There's a heated towel rail in here. A set of stairs from the living/dining area takes you up to the bedroom. It's a big room with lots of natural light coming in from two sides and very comfortable bedding. Maybe could do with a bit more hanging space for clothes? Outside there is a small patio area which gets the sun (if you get any) in the morning - couple of chairs and small table. Enjoyed a few coffees here. Just outside the front door there are a another couple of chairs and a table = this area gets the sun in the afternoon into the evening - great spot for a nightcap. Within 3 minutes walk you have Linthwaite House hotel. This has a really nice bar area, outside seating and dining area. We dined in here once and had drinks a couple of times. Food was reasonably priced but drinks were expensive. Also home to Henrock restaurant (we didn't go) - I won't spoil it = look it up. Going into Bowness you'll be spoilt for choice for restaurants, bars, fish and chip shops and ice cream shops. We walked down a few times - if you walk you need to walk at the side of the road for part of the journey as there is no footpath - oh and it's downhill. We took a taxi back - between 4.50 and 5.50. In summary - the property is very nicely finished with everything you need for a nice relaxing stay. I would be happy to recommend it to other people. Hide
