About this property

Attractive Terraced Character Cottage In The Heart Of This Popular Village

An attractive terraced character cottage in the heart of this popular village, steeped in traditional features such as original beams, slate floor and exposed stone walls yet infused with stylish interior design, fabulous fabrics and luxurious furnishings.
Following a complete refurbishment, the owners have made the very best of this property, mixing modern and stylish with a very high standard of furnishings & equipment which makes this a truly luxurious cottage. As very experienced 'self caterers', the owners have paid a great deal of attention to detail and their guests needs.

Spacious dining room accommodates six diners comfortably to the front of the cottage with easy chairs either side of the multi fuel stove. Cosy lounge with sumptous sofas, original slate floor and exposed lakeland fireplace with a second multi fuel stove, everything to make those evenings in front of the fire even more enjoyable.
Saloon doors lead to bright and airey breakfast room with bi-folding doors onto sunny decking and an enclosed yard, a sun trap in the mornings and a great way to start the day!
The bright and well equipped kitchen is more than suitable to assist in catering for any self-catering holiday.
First floor to the first of our bedrooms, all with TV. A cosy double to the front of the cottage with co-ordinated dressing table and wardrobe and a twin bedroom to the rear (next to bathroom). The house bathroom consists of double sinks and double shower and WC, ample storage and in-house stereo system with floor mood lighting.
Upper floor to the attic master bedroom with exposed lakeland stone walls and beams. A luxurious king size bed, large screen TV and large skylight for night time stargazing make this room the favorite!
Due to its central location all the amenities of the village of Bowness are on your doorstep, as well as many excellent walks nearby which can be started direct from the cottage and allows you to take in the beautiful view points of Brantfell, Post Knott and nearby Orrest Head.
As well as a National Park, the Lake District received worldwide recognition when granted World Heritage Status by UNESCO! Something we are extremely proud of.

Wonderful stay!
We had a great stay in Bowness. The property was so well set up and stocked. For our family of six, we had plenty of room and the home is beautiful. Tracy was great to deal with and communication was top notch.

Too many strict rules/left in the cold
We arrived around 5.30pm, to a very cold cottage. Upon reading the guest pack, it became clear the heating is only allowed on between 7.30am to 10am, and 6pm to 10pm. That's OK we thought, the guest pack advised a starter pack is left for the wood burning stoves. No such luck. So, we walked into Bowness for a drink. Upon getting back to the cottage at 9.30pm, it was evident the heating hadn't come on. This problem was eventually solved by ourselves Saturday morning when my wife drove out and got some firewood. After an email sent Friday night, I believe the management company entered the property Saturday daytime, and found the previous guests had messed around with the heating timings. The heating was then fixed. We have a 72 year old woman in our party, who had to double up on her duvet to keep warm Friday night. I would add that the management company entered the property on Saturday whilst I was asleep alone in the attic bedroom. Had I awoke, this would have been very scary. The overall cleanliness of the property wasn't great. I was reminded via email to strip all the used beds prior to leaving. I was also questioned via email why I would want the French doors opened when we had been cold the evening before , and was reminded of the high cost of heating in this country right now. If you don't mind very strict rules, and heating at certain times, this is the place for you.

Fabulous location
Cottage was so lovely, clean and comfortable. Close to town centre with bus stop at end of road if you wanted to travel further. Every possible utensil and device was in situ. Would definitely return.

Wonderful Windermere
Just a perfect stay in a lovely cottage, roomy, clean & excellent location with free parking. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in the cottage, from walking to local restaurants & bars to relaxing to Netflix movie night in the cottage. Thank you Windermere we will be back.
