A really clean, comfy, cosy cottage situated within the village of Windermere. Dog friendly and a lovely welcome pack of local tea and coffee, milk, shortbread and fudge. All much appreciated after a 7 hour journey. Very quiet peaceful road with loads of free parking and a few hundred yards from a small park for the dog. The perfect base from whichRead more to explore The Lakes and watch Bluebird running on Lake Coniston. Within walking distance of Shops and a couple of nice restaurants. (Highly recommend La Italia) Further afield by car but only a couple of miles was Booths Supermarket (very upmarket ) and quaint pubs with great character and more restaurants. And just a few more miles out mountain passes (not for the faint hearted), Waterfalls, pretty little villages with quirky shops and the most stunning breath taking scenery. We went with good friends and the cottage was so lovely to meet up, re group and relax in the evenings. We hope to come back .Thank you. Hide
