About this property

Highly popular holiday home in a prime location overlooking Lake Windermere

Set on the shores of England’s largest lake, Belsfield Cottage is a charming retreat in the bustling town of Bowness-on-Windermere. Blending modern convenience with breathtaking natural beauty, this welcoming home provides an ideal base for those seeking both relaxation and adventure in the heart of the Lake District.

Sleeping up to seven guests across four inviting bedrooms, Belsfield Cottage combines comfort with one of the most enviable locations in the region. Guests can enjoy panoramic views of Lake Windermere from two generous balconies, or wake up to the sight of the water through floor-to-ceiling doors in the first-floor bedroom.

Inside, the cottage is warm and welcoming, designed to bring groups together while still offering space to unwind. The spacious living room is perfect for cosy evenings, the dining area invites families to gather over shared meals, and the fully equipped kitchen provides everything you need to cook with ease. With its thoughtful layout, Belsfield Cottage is as well-suited for celebratory gatherings as it is for quiet relaxation.

Modern amenities add to the comfort of your stay, including a walk-in shower with wall-mounted hair dryer, ideal for freshening up after lakeside walks—or washing off muddy paws if you’ve brought your four-legged companion. Each of the four bedrooms has been tastefully furnished to create a restful retreat, making the property perfect for families or groups of friends.

Step outside, and the delights of Bowness-on-Windermere are right on your doorstep. From traditional pubs and dog-friendly restaurants to boutique shops and boat trips, everything you need is within easy reach. Beyond the town, the wider Lake District National Park offers endless opportunities for adventure, from the sweeping views of Orrest Head to the serene beauty of Wray Castle.

With its lakeside setting, welcoming interiors, and easy access to both nature and amenities, Belsfield Cottage offers the best of both worlds—a peaceful escape with all the vibrancy of Bowness close at hand.
