"Originally a bobbin mill, this barn conversion is now part of Ings Mill Park; a beautifully landscaped area of holiday homes within 5 acres of woodland alongside the River Gowan. The open plan living space is great for sociable living, with a lounge / dining area with luxurious furnishings and a picture window. The modern kitchen zone is well-equipped and very stylish. House bathroom is also on the ground floor with shower over bath. Upstairs to the two comfortable double bedrooms, plus 2nd WC and cloakroom. An elevated private patio gives views across the valley, and short stroll takes you to your local - the award-winning Watermill Inn and microbrewery – with great food and ambience. You're also only seconds from the A591, meaning your daytrips throughout the Lake District will be easily planned. Ings is a small hamlet near Staveley, 2 miles from Windermere, and 6 miles from Kendal, on the A591. The road is one of the country's most scenic, as well as providing easy access to the highlights of the Lake District. Nearby Staveley in easy walking distance, is the gateway to the Kentmere Valley, with a thriving community of walkers and cyclists as well as a foodie destination: Wilf’s café, Hawkshead Brewery. More? Bakery and lots of other delights including the Eagle & Child, another great pub. Walking routes in the Kentmere Valley are well worth exploring. Shops, facilities, cafes and restaurants are close at hand in Windermere village, along with the superb Booths supermarket, and only a few miles further you'll find Bowness and the shores of Lake Windermere. If Bobbin Cottage is not available for the dates you require, please look at these two neighbouring self-catering properties: Gowan Cottage & Millrace Cottage "
