Another local supermarket is also less than one minute’s walk away and is open late.

Our second stay as excellent location with two parking permits and an upstaires lounge with Smart TV which is great. Everything you need in the heart of Windermere. Only thing that needs replacing is the washing machine. We used it last year after fell walking and the buttons are misaligned so it doesn't wash properly. Same machine this year - old machine and doesn't wash properly. I think if you advertise an appliance it needs to work properly.
