About this property

Settled at the heart of Windermere, a popular tourist destination in the Lake District lies the stunning, ground-floor apartment of The Sunflower. With an enclosed furnished courtyard, immaculate interiors, and a superb location close to nearby amenities and the eponymous Lake Windermere, this wonderful holiday property welcomes a couple seeking a refreshing, self-catered escape in the beautiful county of Cumbria. Park up roadside next to your new abode, and step inside to discover a collection of well-appointed living spaces. An open-plan living area comprising a fully-equipped kitchen invites you and your loved one to whip up a delicious, home-cooked dinner that you can savour at the breakfast bar. Alternatively, head outside with your meals and a glass of your favourite tipple to enjoy the ultimate alfresco experience as the sun shines overhead. In the evening, settle down for a film marathon in the sitting area, where you can kick back and relax on the plush blue sofa as the day rolls into night. When sleep finally calls, be sure to refresh with a rejuvenating shower before you settle down for a well-earned rest in the sumptuous king-size bedroom. If you can tear yourself from your peaceful new lodgings, head out on foot to discover what your local area has to offer. A brief stroll will bring you to Heathwaite’s convenience store, where you can stock up on essentials, whilst a hearty pub lunch can be had at the Brookside Inn. In town, you’ll find a range of things to do and see, whether that’s snapping shots of The Baddeley Clock Tower, enjoying exhibits at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, or coasting along the crisp waters of Lake Windermere with the Windermere Jetty Museum. Further afield, head by car along the Lake to Ambleside, a lakeside setting housing the noteworthy attractions the Ambleside Roman Fort, the outstanding Stagshaw Gardens, as well as the breathtaking Stock Ghyll Force waterfall. Whatever you get up to during your next stay in Cumbria, do it from the base of The Sunflower.

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.
