“This cottage was spotless, and comfortable with a really comfy bed.”

the only minor issue is the position of the cottage meant with the curtains open you are overlooked by other properties. you are a ten minute walk from the lake. excellent base for travelling around the local villages and lakes, with magnificent walks and views. we will definately be going back to lake windermere, and would stay here again.

The property

Ideal for couples seeking a romantic getaway. Steps Cottage is a homely ground-floor detached property located in the lively town of Windermere in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria.

Climb up the stone steps to the entrance of the cottage and you will be welcomed into a contemporary, well-equipped kitchen complete with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and a washer/dryer.

Moving around the cottage, you will be able to find a bright and homely sitting and dining room where you can relax and unwind after adventure-filled days, with dining seating for two, a large stylish corner sofa, a wall-mounted TV, and a warming woodburner for a cosy ambience.

Beyond this is a hallway with a small sitting area which benefits from a large window and an armchair where you can curl up with your favourite book.

Completing the cottage's interior is a small contemporary shower room which includes a shower cubicle, WC, hand basin and a towel rail, and an admirable king-size bedroom, which features stylish furnishings, neutral décor, and ample hanging and wardrobe space.

Accessed from the quaint stone steps to the left of the property, the cottage hosts a lovely private patio area with garden furniture where you can sit with a morning coffee or enjoy some quiet time.

The town of Windermere is an exciting area to visit, boasting charming high streets, an excellent range of shops, restaurants, and pubs to choose from, as well as a number of notable nearby attractions including watersports on Windermere Lake, boat trips, guided walking and mountain trips, the thrilling 'Go Ape!' adventure park, and Grizedale Forest Park, a spectacular wooded area ideal for walkers and cyclists.
