The Kingfisher at Thornleigh House

About this property

Nestled in a fantastic location between the bustling towns of Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere in the Lake District National Park, Cumbria is The Kingfisher. This wonderful, ground-floor apartment benefits from a welcoming interior completed by a sumptuous king-size bed, an enclosed rear garden with furniture and an ideal setting close to local amenities and a whole host of attractions to suit all tastes; the perfect choice for couples or small families looking to explore the wonders of Cumbria. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and head straight into the kitchen/sitting room where you can unwind on the plush sofa in front of the Smart TV while your partner pampers you with a delicious meal prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen.

Sample their culinary creations in the conservatory or if the sun is shining step outside to indulge in an alfresco affair upon the garden furniture. When stars fill the sky overhead, head back inside to wash off the day’s adventures in the shower room before sloping off to sleep in the king-size bed. During the day venture into the heart of Windermere where you can stock up on all of your self-catering essentials at local stores or supermarkets before enjoying date night at The Brookside Inn, The Crafty Baa or The Queens Hotel. Take a short walk down to the edge of the lake where you can take to the water on leisurely boat trips, a unique way to take in the breath-taking sites; or try your hand at something more adventurous such as kayaking and paddle boarding!

Other notable nearby attractions include the Windermere Jetty Museum, the World of Beatrix Potter and the charming Holehird Gardens. Walking and hiking is also in abundance; some of the many trails woven through the national park including Orrest Head, Coniston Old Man and Wansfell Peak or through iconic lake towns including Amble and Grasmere, each offering their own unique attractions. All this and more awaits at The Kingfisher!

Bowness and Windermere, two neighbouring towns in the Lake District, are bustling, entertaining hubs surrounded by breath-taking natural beauty. Ambleside's boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium, and Beatrix Potter's Hill Top House at Sawrey are an added bonus, and both towns have a wide variety of services, shops, and restaurants to suit any taste. Grizedale Forest Park, which is conveniently close by, is a great place to go for a drive because it has so many things to do, such as great walking trails, mountain biking, and the Go Ape! adventure park. If you're looking for a more action-packed holiday, the area also has many National Trust properties and a wide range of water sports. Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick, and the Lakeland Mountains are all within driving distance, and kids will love a visit to Bowness, home to the World of Beatrix Potter.
