Gone Sailing nestles in a row of similar, south facing, self-catering cottages offering single story accommodation and commanding glorious views over Lake Windermere towards the Lakeland fells. In an elevated position on a grassy bank in front of the elegant former Priory Hotel, Gone sailing shares direct access to the lake, approached down a leafy wooded lane, which brings you right to the water’s edge and private jetty. Sitting between the popular Lakes villages of Windermere and Bowness, the property offers guests an ideal location to make the most of this much loved area. With a range of independent retailers, pavement cafés, pubs, restaurants and of course the Beatrix Potter attraction, there really is something for everyone close at hand.

Little gem

This cottage has a peaceful setting amongst other connection cottages surrounded by trees, in a clearing where sun sets outside your place and has a stunning small view of the lake. We even saw some small roe deer. 10 min walk to the jetty and a refreshing dip in the lake. The location is a 15 min walk up to Windermere or 25 min to Bownes. Buses can take you everywhere to explore the beauty of this part of the Lake District. We shall return!

We enjoyed the quiet location with a view of the lake.

We enjoyed the quiet location with a view of the lake. We thought although the cottage was mainly clean, we had one little issue as the kitchen area, utensils, cooker etc could have been cleaner as one of the party has coeliac disease, so we needed to ensure that everything being prepared was highly cleaned (to avoid cross contamination). We enjoyed the walk into the towns and the nearby walks, especially down to the lake side. We would recommend this to someone wishing to use this as a base in a quiet location. We had a lovely week. Thank you.

Gone Sailing is the ideal base for exploring the Lake District.

Gone Sailing is the ideal base for exploring the Lake District. If you don't want to make a meal yourself, both Windermere and Bowness have a great selection of restaurants. The outlook from the cottage is wonderful, in good weather we could have sat there all day! The cottage is equipped with ample radiators that make even the coldest, wettest evenings cosy.

This was my third visit to Gone Sailing in a year - so it obviously has appeal.

This was my third visit to Gone Sailing in a year - so it obviously has appeal. A peaceful and relaxing location with great views down to Windermere I would have given it full marks throughout, but for the fact that it doesn't have an ice box, after all a G&T isn't the same without some ice. That being said, however, I'm sure that I will be back; ice or no ice!
