With private parking and a delightful, enclosed and furnished patio for meals al-fresco, days out and returning to base to relax are well catered for. Complete with cosy woodburning stove and Lakeland slate hearth, character exposed beams and a shaker-style fitted kitchen, you’ll find this charming bolt hole a delight to return to at the end of the day. There’s even a small second TV snug; ensuring quiet time for parents or breathing space for two couples. Use the side door through the tiled utility room, with space for your outdoor gear. A gallery kitchen leads through to the cosy living / dining area with exposed beams, woodburning stove set in Lakeland slate, deep-cushioned furnishings and ample dining space. The sunny 2nd lounge / TV room has a warming coal effect fire. Upstairs to 2 double bedrooms, additional twin bedroom and the fully tiled family-size bathroom. As this is a traditional Lakeland cottage, space is restricted in the bedrooms. One double bedroom has a wardrobe and chest of drawers, and the other double and twin rooms have limited hanging/storage space. Outside you’ll find a pretty enclosed patio, with furniture.
Bowness is a lively Lake District village revolving around the boating activity of Bowness Bay. Stroll along the lake shore, take out a hire boat on Lake Windermere or enjoy a cruise on one of the famous steamers. These Windermere Lake Cruises provide a route to Ambleside and Lakeside without even using your car. Bowness high street has a contemporary range of shops, supermarkets and cafes, pus and restaurants and a night club, providing everything you need within strolling distance. For the family, we recommend the World of Beatrix Potter, the Old Laundry Theatre and a cinema. Of course, walks around here are plentiful – either short strolls with a view, or head into the Lakes on the main A591 and take your pick.
