The property
Tree Tops is a lovely third floor apartment in the heart of Windermere village, that's perfectly placed to explore the local area and beyond, including Windermere village and the Lake, as well as the many towns and villages of the Lake District.
This light and airy apartment is ideal for a family holiday, and although right in the centre of things, the apartment is set in a quiet area for a peaceful stay and a good night's sleep.
The open plan living and dining area is light, comfortable and welcoming, with a TV and DVD player to entertain if the weather is bad.
The kitchen area has plenty of storage, and has all the fixtures you'll need for home cooking.
The bathroom is nicely tiled, and has a shower over the bath, with a hand basin, towel rail, and WC.
The main double bedroom is pleasant and spacious, with a good amount of storage, and the bunk beds in the second bedroom will be great fun for younger kids.
While you don't have your own private outside space, there is a shared outside area, which conveniently leads straight onto the main streets of Windermere, and with the Lake itself not far away, there's plenty of space for the kids to run about and let off steam.
With shops, pubs and cafes right on your doorstep, there's plenty to enjoy without leaving the area.
Bowness is also within walking distance, with more shopping, bars and restaurants.
There's also a cinema, theatre and various attractions, including the World of Beatrix Potter Exhibition.
Enjoy walks along the shores of Lake Windermere, or take the lake steamer to explore stops along the lake.
Further north, you can visit Grasmere, Ambleside or Keswick for more shops and attractions, including Wray Castle at Ambleside, the Keswick Treasure Trails, Hope Park, with its crazy golf, and a variety of museums.
Tree Tops is a very well-placed apartment from which to explore the whole of the Southern Lakes, for a family holiday never to be forgotten.
