About this property

Brook Cottage is a lovingly restored cottage settled on the outskirts of Windermere village, Cumbria. With Lake Windermere just a gentle stroll away, there are plenty of things to see and do close by, making this a charming holiday base for a small family or couple. Enter into the sitting room and discover a traditional woodburning stove that rests within an eye-catching characterful fireplace, complementing the stylish furnishings and sleek TV. Move through to the country-style kitchen, certain to encourage some home-cooking with the abundance of impressive appliances such as the electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Gather around the dining table and enjoy a family board game or mouth-watering feast as you toast to a wonderful Lake District break. Head upstairs to two inviting bedrooms, including the master with a double bed and a twin room with a Victorian feature fireplace, both of which are served by a family bathroom with curved bath tub with rainfall shower above. Embrace the fresh countryside air in the enclosed patio garden, ideal for relaxing in after a long day sightseeing or walking. Just a stone’s throw away, the nearest pub offers a wonderful way to reward yourself as you indulge in a cold pint of local ale . Get to know your surroundings with a walk into Windermere village where you will be spoilt for choice by the selection of boutique shops, street cafe's and eateries to explore or dine in. Take a relaxing stroll alongside Lake Windermere and admire its fabulous and far-reaching views, or why not get involved in some water sports, including kayaking and boat rides. Open tour buses are available in the nearby towns of Ambleside and Grasmere, whilst lake cruises are a lovely way to explore the area. Literary lovers will delight in a visit to the World of Beatrix Potter, which is great for those with children or head to the National Trust owned Hill Top, which was formerly the farmhouse that Beatrix Potter lived in. Brook Cottage is well-placed for discovering the best of the Lake District.

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.
