General overview

Our’s is a comfy family home that is very well equipped for all your needs. We have 3 bedrooms with a double bed in each. The secluded garden has a seating area for meals or wine outside. Windermere is in the Lake District National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is arguably the most beautiful area of England - full of lakes, mountains & forests! It has good public transport links, with a train and bus station an easy 10 minute walk connecting us to the rest of the lakes, as well as Manchester Airport (via a direct train service). Unsurprisingly, we are surrounded by spectacular walks, from hills such as School Knott and Brantfell just a short walk away to the views and trails across and around the fells and lakes. We're lucky not only to be surrounded by beautiful scenery, but also lots of restaurants, shops, galleries, a cinema & a theatre - all within walking distance! Short drives away will take you to the more larger and more famous fells (mountains), lakes, museums, and quaint towns & villages. This area is also known for art, craft, and literature - think Wordsworth, Ruskin, Beatrix Potter.

The space

Downstairs we have a well equipped kitchen with an island hob + bar stools. Our lounge / dining room has 2 big sofas and an arm chair, a TV (with netflix), wood burner fire, extendable dining table & chairs. There is also a seating area outside. We have a small utility area with washing machine & dryer and an outside area to air dry clothes. Upstairs we have 3 double bedded bedrooms all with lots of hanging space & drawers. The upstairs bathroom has a shower-bath combo, sink & toilet. There is also a toilet downstairs. We have a small alcove office if you need to catch up on any work. Outside we have a secluded garden - front & back, that both catch the sun at different times of the day. We also have 2 off-road car parking spaces available plus extra street parking close by if needed.

Guest access

Whole house exclusively available to guests. There is a step up into the house & bedrooms are up a staircase.

Neighbourhood

The house is located in the village of Windermere. It is a very popular tourist destination and therefore is teaming with cafes, restaurants, and shops to look around. Despite the busyness of the village centre, our house is located in a quiet residential area where the best of both worlds can be enjoyed. We are spoilt with very easy access to mountains & lakes - perfect for walking as well as to drive to and picnic beside. We will be happy to offer suggestions of the best places to visit. There's also outdoor sports (climbing & water sports) available through a number of companies. If you're looking for a bit of culture, we have 3 theatres, many art galleries, museums & historic houses to visit. When you want to relax we have an array of lovely bars, restaurants & shops in the area, as well as 3 local independent cinemas, all within easy drives or bus rides. The South lakes area is not large so towns like Ambleside, Grasmere, Hawkshead & Coniston are only short car or bus rides away.

Getting to my home

Trains, planes & automobiles!

Nearest airport

Manchester is the closest airport with a direct train service to Windermere station which is 10 minutes walk from our home or a short taxi ride. Manchester is a 1.5 hour drive from Windermere. Liverpool airport is our second nearest airport.

Getting around

Windermere has good train links and bus routes. The rail line ends in Windermere so although useful for getting here you will need to use buses or a car for exploring. Getting out into all the wild spaces is easier with a car but it is doable using buses.

Our home is in the Lake District National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage Site and arguably the most beautiful part of England. We’d love to open our home for others to enjoy this special part of the world too.
