Renovated to a high standard, The Crow’s Nest is an appropriate name for this wonderful property, situated close to the thriving town of Bowness-on-Windermere. Less than a mile from the wonderful Lake Windermere and with wonderful views over Claife Heights, this three-storey cottage is the ultimate home-from-home at any time of year. On entering on the ground floor, you will find the access to store your bikes in the garage, as well as a handy shower room. On the first floor and to the rear of the property is a beautifully presented master bedroom with king-size bed, whilst to the front is a super-king-size bedroom with zip/link beds, which can be arranged as a twin bedded on request. A set of carpeted stairs will bring you to the kitchen/diner where you will find a well-equipped setup to rustle up a home-cooked feast, with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher to make use of. Move into the cosy sitting room where you can unwind after a day of rambling the surrounding area, whether that be by catching up on your favourite TV shows or simply admiring the striking views from this elevated position. A set of glass sliding doors provide access to the south facing balcony which is the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee, while there is also a pleasant patio area with table and chairs, offering another spot to enjoy an outdoor meal. Alternatively, head into Bowness and sample a meal at one of the fine restaurants in the town, offering a lovely choice of cuisines for various tastes and preferences. A cruise onboard a Windermere steamer is highly advised, offering you a chance to see the unspoilt beauty of the Lakelands from a different perspective, before stopping off at Lakeside or Ambleside to enjoy a day of shopping or sightseeing. Brush up on the local history by paying a visit to World of Beatrix Potter, which is great for those with children or head to the National Trust owned Hill Top, which was the former farmhouse of Beatrix Potter. Further afield you may stumble across the villages of Hawkshead, Coniston or Newby Bridge, each offering their own atmosphere and charm. For a Lake District break to remember, consider The Crow’s Nest as your next self-catered holiday home.

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.
