Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 5 - Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria

Settled in the heart of Bowness-in-Windermere, a conservation area close to the attractive ‘Hole Int Wall’ and other popular and busy pubs, is this well-presented property, Gildabrook Cottage. An ideal location for all Lakeland activities, and with no need to use the car for evening entertainment, this cottage is a great choice for families looking for an easy break to this popular National Park. After a day of fell walking, head to the sitting room and kick back on the sofa while you catch up on your favourite TV shows.

Try your hand at a spot of home-cooking by making use of the quality appliances within the sleek kitchen, including a gas cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer and a dishwasher. Delight in your dish in the character dining room, before popping open a bottle of fizz to celebrate a wonderful Lake District holiday. As the evening wraps up, take the stairs to find three neutrally decorated bedrooms, including a double, twin with picturesque views over Robinson Place and a single bedded room, all serviced by a fully tiled wet room.

Step outside to the enclosed front patio where you can enjoy a warm cup of tea in the morning before embarking on an adventure in Bowness. Days out in the area are numerous with easy walks to the fells at the back of Bowness and by ferry to the west shore of Windermere or up the lake to Waterhead and Ambleside. Bowness offers a good choice of shops and restaurants to cater for all tastes and age groups, plus there is plenty to keep you busy as mountain bikes, rowing boats and sailing dinghies can be hired locally.

Other attractions within the immediate area include Treetop Lake District, where thrill-seekers can enjoy treetop treks, children can look forward to exploring the World of Beatrix Potter attraction or brush up on local history by visiting the National Trust property of Wray Castle. Gildabrook Cottage is perfectly placed for enjoying all that this charming location has to offer.
