There are many lovely country walks within easy reach of the cottage e.g. The Dales Way, Orrest Head, Lake Windermere, Elterwater and the Langdales. The Beatrix Potter Museum is a short walk from the property. Brockhole Visitors Centre with go Ape is a popular attraction and is a short bus ride or drive away.

The cottage is now being cleaned in accordance with Covid 19 Government Guidelines. I accept short breaks during low season. I am happy to consider taking one small well behaved, house trained dog. Please ask before booking. I do not allow dogs on beds or furniture and they are not to be left alone in the property.

What an absolutely fantastic house to stay in.4 bedrooms, magnificent kitchen with everything provided.Location couldn't have been better for walking to Bowness or Windermere.
We were 4 adults and a 5 year old and we loved the kitchen and sitting room. We ate “at home” every night we were there. The proximity to the hikes we wanted to do was excellent.

Hi David Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. I am pleased to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay and you found the house very comfortable and conveniently situated. You are welcome back anytime. Thanks Val
From the booking to the end of the break was excellent. The property was very clean with everything that you need at hand.The property is a little strange at first to see bedrooms on the ground floor, with the kithen and lounge on the 1st floor, but it works well. Shops and pubs only 10 - 15 mins away. We will return thank you Val.

Hi Geoff Thank you very much for your lovely review. I do hope you can stay again. Thanks Val
The rental was easy and the owner was helpful.
The property is a short walk from anywhere in Windemere. Pubs, shops, lakes, restaurants, ferries are all close by.
The property is ideal for a group of walkers/climbers/cyclists. Spacious. Clean. Well equipped. Nothing fancy just everything you need.
