6 Bed Cottage in Bowness-on-Windermere

About this property

Post Knott Lodge has the ultimate wow factor, with uninterrupted panoramic views across Windermere, and from pulling up outside, you’ll immediately get the sense you’re about to stay somewhere unique. Nothing short of a showstopper, Post Knott Lodge is the perfect place for family holidays or special occasions. This memorable property, won by its current owners as part of the Omaze competitions, sleeps up to 12 people and makes the most of its location, with floor-to-ceiling windows, and the luxury of a sauna, steam room and gym, built into the hillside and accessed via the garden.

Not to be forgotten is the unrivalled location of Post Knott Lodge – being an easy walk away from the centre of Bowness-on-Windermere, where you can sample some cocktails or choose from a selection of champagnes in the Fizzy Tarte. If fine dining is more your style, enjoy eating out at one of Cumbria’s 7 Michelin star restaurants, the HRiSHi in Bowness, or the L’Enclume in the nearby village of Cartmel.

Looking for things to do on your stay? Charter a private skippered yacht on Windermere, enjoy a breath-taking experience in a Gyroplane, or head up in a hot air balloon ride which launches close to Windermere. For a more relaxing activity, enjoy a self-drive boat on Windermere to enjoy the views at your own pace, or Sail ‘n’ Dine, where you can drop anchor in one of Windermere’s many secluded bays and enjoy a glass of champagne. If you fancy exploring the fells without walking boots, why not take the wheel of a specialist Kankku 4x4 vehicle, for a real off-road adventure from their command centre in Windermere.
