About this property

Woodland Cottage in the heart of Windermere - Dog Friendly - Private Garden

Situated on a quiet street just a two-minute walk from the town centre, Woodland Cottage offers the tranquillity of the Lake District with all the convenience of nearby shops, restaurants, and amenities.

Guests have full use of a private, fully enclosed courtyard with outdoor dining furniture. This lovely space is a real sun trap, making it ideal for relaxing at any time of day, enjoying a meal outdoors, or firing up the BBQ. It is also perfect for dog owners, allowing your dogs to enjoy some fresh air safely and securely. A lockable six-foot gate at the front of the property provides easy access when returning from days out exploring the Lake District.

Inside, Woodland Cottage combines modern comforts with a cosy, welcoming feel. The open-plan kitchen-diner flows into the adjoining lounge, creating a sociable space with plenty of room for families to relax together and unwind after a day of adventure.

The cottage features a twin bedroom, which can be made up as a king, and a spacious main bedroom with a king-size bed. Top-quality mattresses and bedding are provided to ensure a comfortable and restful night’s sleep.

Dogs are most welcome 🐾

Why they chose this property

Windermere village is a place we chose because it offers the perfect balance between village charm and easy access to everything the Lake District is famous for. Set slightly away from the busier lakeside spots, it has a relaxed, authentic feel, with independent shops, cafés, bakeries, and welcoming pubs all within easy walking distance. The village is exceptionally well connected, with excellent transport links, making it an ideal base for exploring the wider area without always needing the car.

What makes Windermere especially appealing is how quickly you can move from village life into open countryside. Scenic walks, woodland trails, and fell routes start almost from the doorstep, while Lake Windermere itself is just a short walk or drive away for boat trips, paddleboarding, or lakeside strolls. Whether you are visiting for outdoor adventures, great food, or simply to slow down and enjoy the scenery, Windermere village offers a warm, convenient, and characterful base in every season.

What makes this property unique

What makes Woodland Cottage special is the rare combination of a peaceful setting, thoughtful design, and outdoor space that is hard to find so close to the centre of Windermere. While many properties in the village lack private outside areas, the cottage benefits from its own fully enclosed courtyard, providing a quiet, sun-filled space to relax, dine outdoors, or let dogs enjoy some fresh air safely and securely.

Inside, the cottage has been carefully set up to feel like a true home rather than a holiday rental. The open-plan kitchen-diner and lounge create a warm, sociable space that works equally well for couples or families, while the flexible bedroom layout allows the property to adapt easily to different groups. High-quality mattresses and bedding ensure a comfortable night’s sleep, and the overall layout offers a sense of privacy, comfort, and ease. Combined with its location just minutes from the village centre yet tucked away on a quiet street, Woodland Cottage offers a genuinely relaxing base that guests often struggle to find elsewhere.
