    “A beautifully decorated and equiped home in a quiet street 15 mins walk from Bowness and Windermere.”

    Was concerned about reported parking issues prior to arriving, but 90% of the time we were able to park immediately outside the house and always within 50 yards- this during peak holiday time. The only issue I think it would be fair to mention (it may be in the property description, but I didn't see it), are the steps from the pavement down to the front door. They are perfectly negotiable by most able bodied folk, but may cause issues for those not too good on their feet. I must stress though, ...

I must stress though, that this is a lovely property and we would be happy to rent again.

The property

Resting away from the bustling centre of Windermere is this quaint terraced property, Walker's Cottage, surrounded by the majestic beauty of the Lake District National Park. Look forward to calling this quaint abode home, as you discover the delights of the town, the surrounding mountain fells and majestic lakes of the National Park with all of your loved ones around you. After an adventure-filled afternoon, look forward to coming back to the property and being welcomed into the spacious sitting room, where two plush sofas surround the TV and the gas fire, which offers a gentle warmth during the colder months. When you feel like trying your hand at a local delicacy or a family-favourite recipe, head into the kitchen, where a range of quality appliances are awaiting the chef of the group to rustle up something delicious. The property also comes with a handy dishwasher, and washer/ dryer. From here, venture up the stairs to find the family bathroom, boasting a shower over bath and the master bedroom, home to a plush king-size bed and a sleek en-suite shower room. Continue up the stairs to the second-floor, where you will find a twin bedroom and a single bedroom. To the exterior is ample road-side parking and a quaint front garden, where table and chairs offer a spot for alfresco dining during a sunny afternoon. For the evenings where you do not feel like cooking, head into the centre of Windermere, where you will be spoilt for choice by the selection of cafés, pubs and restaurants that are awaiting, as well as a number of shops for picking up an essentials and gifts. Discover the largest lake within the National Park by climbing on board the Windermere Lake Cruise, offering a circular voyage whilst soaking up the views of the impressive mountains, the secluded bays and the wooded islands. Alternatively, brush up on the local history by visiting the World of Beatrix Potter before heading to the National Trust owned Hill Top, which was the former farmhouse of Beatrix Potter. For those feeling more adventurous, choose to walk the mountain peak of Claife Heights, mountain biking in Grizedale Forest Park or if you are feeling brave, have a go at Go Ape, Adventure park. Once you have completed these, be sure to visit the twin town of Ambleside or the villages of Grasmere and Coniston Water. Bring your loved ones for a fun-filled holiday to Walker's Cottage.
