About this property
This semi-detached cottage sits close to the centre of Windermere, just a short wander from a range of amenities and attractions, in the Lake District. Delightfully presented with an enclosed rear garden, woodburning stove and off-road parking, Ananda House is a wonderful retreat for a family and their pet looking to spend some time in the Lakelands.
After parking up directly outside, head through the door into the lounge, where you can kick back beside the woodburner and choose a film from the Smart TV.
Allow the designated chef to become acquainted in the kitchen, making use of the electric oven and ceramic hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and even a washer/dryer, perfect for keeping on top of your laundry.
Continue outside to the rear garden, where you can bask in the evening sun with a favourite tipple in hand, set in an enclosed space so your furry friend can safely explore. Whisk away upstairs and make yourself comfortable in the bedrooms, complete with a super-king-size with Smart TV, a double and a 4’ 3” double, each neutrally presented. Completing the interior is the shower room, ideal for freshening up before heading out the door.
Explore Windermere high street with its range of independent shops selling local produce, traditional butchers, restaurants and pubs, offering something for everyone.
Head to National Trust's Wray Castle, take a walk through Brockhole on Windermere, or learn about the area's rich history at the Lake District Visitor Centre. Five miles away lies Ambleside, an idyllic town home to the Ambleside Roman Fort, a must-see for keen historians, whilst there is also the Bridge House and the beautiful Stock Ghyll Force worth adding to the itinerary.
Escape to the Lake District with a relaxing stay at Ananda House.
The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.

There was minimal information regarding waste disposal. Somewhere to hang outdoor clothing other than 2 hooks in the cupboard would have helped as it was for 5 people. All in all a relaxing holiday, with a very good cafe, round the corner.

The property is extremely well furnished; the bed is a full super king size and extremely comfortable, the sofas are great for cosy evenings and the general fit and finish of the place is lovely. Our dog absolutely loved the garden, which is fully enclosed so we had no worries letting him run around freely. There was plenty of pans and cooking utensils for us, and both the hob and oven are clearly very new and work brilliantly. The house is also positioned really well, it's a short walk down into the local shops and if your dog needs a longer run, there's a massive playing field straight across the road. It's in a quiet area and the garden would be a perfect place to sit out in during the summer to relax with a book or three! A couple of things which could be improved and to note: - The entrance hallway has a fantastic warm radiator but unless we missed it there is absolutely nowhere to hang up wet coats after a rainy walk. It would be great if the owner could add a freestanding unit by the radiator. The same really applies for shoes, if you go for long walks you'll likely get muddy boots which it would be good to have a small rack for, just to keep them tidy. - The shower is incredible, however the gap between the wall and the fixed glass screen where you get into the shower is fairly small and extremely close to the extremely hot vertical radiator, so you have to be careful not to injure yourself when getting in/out. We managed ok but might have been a struggle if we were larger! Would also have been good to have had more space to hang wet towels (maybe a towel rail instead of the radiator?), this would probably have been more of an issue if there was more than just the two of us staying. Overall though, our experience of the house was great and we'd definitely come back again.
