Wilders Wood

About this property

Wilders Wood is a pleasant house in Windermere, Cumbria, offering rural views, a pet‑friendly garden and handy off-road parking for three cars, all just a short stroll from the lakeshore. Step inside to find a straightforward kitchen with everything needed for simple meals, whether you’re preparing breakfasts before venturing out or unwinding with supper after a day exploring the Lake District. The sitting room provides a homely spot to gather, chatting over plans or settling down with a film, while three inviting bedrooms, a king-size, a ground-floor double with its own TV and en-suite basin and WC, and a twin, ensure the group has space to settle.

A bathroom with bath, shower over, basin and WC completes the layout. Windermere itself offers a wealth of ways to fill your days. Wander the charming streets lined with cafés, bakeries and independent shops, or stroll down to the lakeshore at Bowness Pier to board a Windermere Cruise and admire the scenery from the water. Visit The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction for family-friendly storytelling, browse the local art at The Old Courthouse Gallery, or wander up to Orrest Head for one of the region’s most iconic viewpoints. Nearby, Ambleside offers excellent walks from its bustling centre, as well as the atmospheric ruins of Ambleside Roman Fort and the rushing waters of Stock Ghyll Force.

Continue north to Grasmere, known for Dove Cottage, once home to Wordsworth, and the famous Grasmere Gingerbread Shop, perfect for a taste of local tradition. With lakeside paths, scenic viewpoints and welcoming Lakeland towns all close by, Wilders Wood makes a fine base for days spent exploring the heart of the national park.

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.
