a tranquil Coniston cottage hideaway for 2 ….

Restful, relaxing, restorative. Visitors love the peace and quiet of little 4* Forest Field cottage tucked away on a tiny lane in rolling countryside near Coniston. The cottage is spotlessly clean and super cozy with huge gardens to wander around. There’s lots of things to do and places to explore in the area and both Coniston Water and Windermere are just 14 minutes away by car. And ….breathe…..

a peaceful family & pet friendly Windermere cottage for 4…

One of our absolute favourite family and pet friendly Windermere cottages, Matson Ground Lodge is set on a private country estate. It’s a beautifully thought out holiday cottage with twin and double bedrooms, woodburning stove and a large enclosed garden with mature trees and shrubs. Just one mile away from Windermere lake and the hustle and bustle of Bowness but sooo tranquil. Looks tiny from the front but opens out like a tardis behind and has 2 floors.

the best of both worlds for 4 near windermere

When you just can’t decide. Hotel or self catering? Privacy or pampering? Woodlands Hotel near Grange-over-Sands has spacious self catering lodges in its grounds, with all the convenience of a full kitchen and sitting room but just a hop away from the hotel bar and restaurant. Some lodges have private saunas too for that extra pampering – or easing the old muscles after the fells! And all just a 15 minute drive from the foot of Windermere lake and Lakeside Pier.

thinking Ambleside cottages for 5? ….

We love this little Ambleside cottage for 5, just a stone’s throw from the centre of the village, with private parking. So do visitors.

messing around in boats, a lakeside Windermere cottage for 4 to 6 ….

There aren’t many Windermere cottages with direct access to the lake, let alone boat launching and beach storage facilities. Beech Tree Cottage is one of four holiday cottages in the converted stables of Stott Park Mansion, just a 5 minute wander through lovely woods to the lake shore. Lakeside Pier with its popular attractions and access to the Windermere Lake Cruises route is just a 20 minute walk.

Windermere self catering in the grandest style ….

Somewhat of an understatement to squeeze this incredible self catering property into our Windermere Cottages section – you could probably fit a dozen holiday cottages in here! The Oaks is a gloriously refurbished mansion, set just a mile from popular Bowness and sleeping 25 in 12 bedrooms. But that’s just the start. The 5 star accommodation mixes original features, such as mullioned windows, with contemporary luxury. 11 bathrooms, 2 outside hot tubs, a sauna, large mature gardens – you just have to read on…..
