About this property
Lakestone Cottage is a lovingly refurbished, contemporary Lakeland getaway, conveniently located in a sleepy backwater just a short distance from Bowness, Windermere and the shores of the lake. This is a smart property with everything a small group or family may need for a relaxing and fun-filled time in the countryside.
There’s a modern, yet cosy lounge, a great place to relax beside the wood burner after a day of adventure out on the fells. Two plush double bedrooms will ensure all guests have a good night’s sleep, whilst reinvigoration comes in the shape of a luxury bathroom with a free standing, double ended bath and separate shower cubicle. If you’re looking to explore some of the most popular areas of the Lake District, yet have complete peace and privacy, then Lakestone Cottage could be just the ticket.
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.

It was the perfect base for exploring the beautiful Lake District, offering a warm and comfortable place to return to after chilly April days. The cottage was as described, and our young family enjoyed our time there. While the sofa could have been a bit more comfortable, that's a minor detail in an otherwise fantastic stay. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a Lake District getaway!

The kitchen was very well equipped. If youâre planning on coming here, then I recommend bringing extra toilet roll (as mentioned in other reviews) the plug in the bath is also still broken so it drainâs constantly when youâre in it. Also bear in mind that logs are not provided for the fire which we didnât mind going to get but wouldâve been nice to know ahead of time so we were better prepared. The cottage is beautiful and we hope to return in the future.

Smart Tv was excellent too . Beautiful bathroom amazing shower . The whole house was decorated really well . Having the small enclosed garden at the back was a bonus with the dog . Only a 29 minute walk to Bowness, 10 minute walk into Windermere. The only negatives were the bed mattress could be better and the sofaâs downstairs were not the comfiest. However I will definitely be using Lakestone again .
