“Me and my boyfriend loved the stay at Steps cottage.”

The property is based in a fantastic location for reaching both Bowness and Windermere on foot. It has one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in and the little stream outside the bedroom window is a lovely sound to wake up to in the mornings! The kitchen is well equipped for cooking in and the property has a nice outside area and adequate parking. My only slight niggle and it might just be a personal one is the strange staircase down to what seems to be a 2nd bedroom which is locked ...

The property is based in a fantastic location for reaching both Bowness and Windermere on foot. It has one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in and the little stream outside the bedroom window is a lovely sound to wake up to in the mornings! The kitchen is well equipped for cooking in and the property has a nice outside area and adequate parking. My only slight niggle and it might just be a personal one is the strange staircase down to what seems to be a 2nd bedroom which is locked shut. The staircase made me a little uneasy, perhaps it should be blocked off completely or the room available as part of the stay.

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.

Perfect for making memories, Steps Cottage promises a relaxing retreat in the heart of the Lake District National Park.
