About this property

Oak Cottage, a three-bedroom terraced cottage located in Windermere, Cumbria, is a fantastic place to stay. Enjoying a fantastic location within the Lake District National Park and close proximity to the famous Lake Windermere, Oak Cottage is a fabulous pet-friendly dwelling for a group or family of six, plus their canine companion, who are looking to explore the Lakes. Park-up on the driveway with space for two cars, plus an electric charging point, before unloading your bags and making your way into your new home-from-home. Be greeted by a delightful front patio where you can savour your morning coffee as you watch the world go by. Step into the sitting room, where you can look forward to relaxing evenings with loved ones in front of the gas flame effect woodburner, as you select your favourite show from the Smart TV. Make your way through to the kitchen/diner, where the chef of the group will have everything, they need to conjure up flavourful meals, ready to be savoured at the dining table for six. If the weather is nice, why not enjoy your favourite tipple out on the rear patio where you can savour the last of the day’s sunshine? Climb the stairs to the first floor, where you will find two well-presented rooms, a king-size and a twin, each with a Smart TV and served by a contemporary shower room. On your way up to the second floor, there is a handy cupboard housing a washer/dryer, perfect for keeping your holiday wardrobe fresh! Enter into the final bedroom, a large super-king-size with en-suite shower room and Smart TV, the perfect space for those who prefer a little more privacy! Explore the local town, where you will find a delightful selection of pubs and restaurants right on your doorstep, including The Orrest Head Bar, The Windermere Speakeasy and The Lamplighter Dining Rooms, each offering tasty meals and a night off from the kitchen. Outdoor enthusiasts will have found their haven, with an excellent selection of watersports on offer on the renowned Lake Windermere, including sailing, kayaking, and paddleboarding, as well as scenic walks up the viewpoints of Orrest Head and Queen Adelaide’s Hill which offer breathtaking views over towards the Langdale Pikes. For those looking to learn more about the local area, the Windermere Jetty Museum and the wonderful World of Beatrix Potter Attraction are sure to impress! Continue on towards Ambleside, where you can explore the fascinating site of the 2nd-century Ambleside Roman Fort, the Armitt Library & Museum Centre and the picturesque 70-ft waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Further afield, you will find Grasmere, where you can wander the former home of the great poet, William Wordsworth, hike along the Grasemere Waterfall Walkways or explore the depths of the nearby Rydal Cave with Rydal Mount & Gardens close by.

The twin villages of Bowness and Windermere, located in the Lake District, are both dynamic, fun-filled destinations. Both towns provide a wide variety of amenities, shops, and restaurants, but Ambleside's added attractions include a boat excursion to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium, and Beatrix Potter's 'Hilltop House' near Sawrey, as well as the Lakeside Zoo.

    Excellent location, minutes away from local amenities eg shops, cafes & restaurants. Highly recommended.

  • Michelle

    The children especially liked having a tv in every bedroom. This was our first time in the Lake District and the cottage was a great base to explore. We loved the modern amenities in the cottage. We had some great walks with fantastic views, and hired a boat on the Lake for a couple of hours. Would love to come back in the summer months. 10/10

    The owners have furnished the property to a very high standard and provided everything you would need for a stress free holiday. The location could not be surpassed, shops restaurants etc are a five minute walk from the front door, but the cottage is in a quiet and peaceful location. We have stayed in many properties in the Lake District in the past but Oak Cottage certainly tops them all. If we were to return to Bowness there is nowhere else we would want to stay. We had a great holiday and our accommodation was the icing on the cake. There was a small issue with the blind in the twin bedroom, it wouldn't open, but probably something that is easily fixed, didn't cause us any problems as we only used the room for sleeping in and the blind would have been closed anyway. Sorry for even mentioning the blind because this is a wonderful cottage, and these things do happy. Oak Cottage is a wonderful place to stay and we would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Bowness.
