Cottage in Cumbria

Located on a secluded residential lane, a short distance from the bustling centre of Bowness on Windermere in the beloved Lake District, this charmingly appointed cottage offers all the amenities for a tranquil retreat. Consider a leisurely stroll down to Lake Windermere (0.3 miles away) and embark on a scenic cruise along the lake or opt for a more adventurous outing with a kayak rental.

The family bathroom is perfectly sized with a corner bath and shower over, giving you a place to relax and wind down after the day s adventures. Outside, the rear garden is enclosed (perfect for doggy guests), and has patio furniture in summer with a BBQ available. From the west facing front patio with its own summer seating, you can enjoy wonderful sunsets. The location of the property is ideal for mountain bikers, with plenty of challenging rides to choose from in the area, and having plenty of space for bike storage in the garage. A hose pipe is supplied for washing down. Keen walkers will enjoy the walk up Brantfell which is just behind the house, with enchanting views of Lake Windermere from the top.
