The property

Nestled in the very heart of the Lake District, near the beautiful Lake Windermere and with access to many popular attractions of the area, is Fisher's Retreat. Positioned over three floors this stone cottage boasts some delightful original features combined with a contemporary style. It is ideal for families and friends looking to build some memories in a charming region of Cumbria. The lounge invites you to relax and unwind on the sofa with a good book or TV programme as you sip a hot cup of tea. Share a delicious home-cooked meal together in the dining room, as the woodburning-effect gas fire sits proudly in the alcove, adding extra warmth to your feet during winter. Just off from here is the kitchen posing a sleek design, integrating modern appliances with cream units. Lastly, the lower ground floor is finished with a boot room and shower room, whilst the ground level offers a lovely family bathroom. After an adventurous day exploring the local sights and attractions, return to a choice of three bedrooms to catch your rest. There is a king-size double followed by a double on ground level, with a twin room displayed on the second floor via an enchanting spiral staircase. Enjoy a refreshing summer's day on the patio with a drink or stroll across to Queen's Park, where the kids can run around on open grass. Choose from a variety of shops, pubs and eateries in Windermere, with Ambleside just a stone's throw away. Hire a boat or enjoy a river cruise and even explore the outdoor pursuits at Grizedale. Kids and adults alike will love Go Ape! adventure park or mountain biking through mature woodlands. This is the ideal base for a rejuvenating break away from daily routine.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £50.
