Appliances consist of an electric oven, halogen hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, hairdryer, ironing facilities, and Smart TV. Outside there is a communal, lawned area, bike store with key fob access (available on request), along with off-road parking for one car and additional parking in nearby car park. This is a pet-free and smoke-free property. WiFi, fuel, power, bed linen and towels are all included in the price. You'll find a shop in 2.2 miles and a pub in 0.6 miles. Enjoy the delights of Cumbria from Watch Tree Apartment. Note: Check-in from 5pm, check-out by 11:30am. Note: The apartment is accessed via stairs, unsuitable for those with limited mobility. Note: The sofa bed sleeps two guests. Note: A welcome pack is provided.

Region: Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes, the Lake District has it all. From walking in the mountains to exhilarating watersports or just a gentle cruise on a steam-powered yacht, Cumbria is the perfect holiday destination.
Town: The small village of Backbarrow sits by the banks of the River Leven and the southern tip of Lake Windermere. The famous Haverthwaite Steam Railway runs close by the village between Haverthwaite and Lakeside. Enjoy magnificent views across Windermere and the surrounding fells, or visit the Aquarium of the Lakes, where the naturally themed habitats bring the history of the Lakes vividly to life. Bowness-on-Windermere provides a lovely day out, and the picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Set amidst the charm of the Lake District, close to the fringe of Windermere, this attractive village makes an inspiring choice from which to forage further into a magical heartland of silver lakes, lofty towering peaks and lonely gorse clad moors.
