Pet friendly cottage, sleeps 6 - Lakeside, Cumbria

This charming bungalow is in a secluded setting at the end of a private close in Lakeside at the tip of Lake Windermere. The accommodation is spacious & modern. Private parking for 1 (possibly 2) cars.

Front entrance lobby leading to a spacious inner hall. The living room is large and airy with leather sofas, wood burning stove and patio doors leading out to the furnished balcony. From your family-sized dining kitchen, spread out into the furnished conservatory and lovely little patio garden.

3 good-sized bedrooms; 1 king size, 1 double and 1 twin. House bathroom with shower over bath and separate WC. Surrounded by walks and a network of peaceful lanes, Nutwood is also just a 10-minute stroll to Lakeside Pier for cruises to Windermere and Ambleside, The Lakes Aquarium, the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Steam Railway and the Lakeside Hotel for amazing food & drink.

Lakeside is renowned as a peaceful Lake District holiday destination, nestled around the southern tip of Lake Windermere and away from the hustle and bustle of the busier areas. But despite this, you'll find a wealth of things to see and do within easy reach - whatever your holiday tastes. Windermere Lake Cruises depart from Lakeside Pier, and cruise the full length of Lake Windermere to Bowness and Ambleside - a wonderfully stress-free way to explore.

You'll find plenty of walking routes in the area; including Alfred Wainwright's Finsthwaite Heights route from Newby Bridge (adjacent to Lakeside) and up to High Dam for more lovely walks & perhaps a wild swim. Lake District historic sites such as Holker Hall and Gardens, Cartmel Priory & village, Stott Park Bobbin Mill, Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall are all within easy reach by car, with no need to navigate through busy tourist areas. Further north, you’ll discover Esthwaite Water and the landscapes that famously inspired the children's author Beatrix Potter.

Her former home can be visited at Hill Top, in the small village of Near Sawrey, then onward and you'll reach Hawkshead village - a wonderful place to while away a day, exploring quaint cobbled streets and a blissfully car-free village centre.
