With 4 bedrooms all with ensuite facilities, spacious living areas and lovely outside spaces, this well equipped house is the perfect base for a holiday with friends and family. Accommodation in detail The living room of this Victorian house is where the coach used to be housed. It has high ceilings, large windows with great views and spacious accommodation where guests can gather to relax in front of the wood burning stove, while listening to music or watching the large Smart TV. The extensively equipped kitchen has a traditional Aga complemented by high quality appliances including hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher. There is a choice of places to eat: within the kitchen, where table and chairs are positioned to enjoy the view of the countryside beyond, in the more formal dining room, outside on the secluded patio or even informally on the balcony attached to bedroom one. Just off the dining room you will discover a snug, which is perfect for a quiet escape. There is also a large boot room for storing and drying outdoor gear and a utility room with a washer/dryer, an additional dishwasher and fridge. On the first floor there are four delightful bedrooms, each one boasting large comfortable beds, ensuite facilities and designed to ensure that sleep comes easy after an action-packed day. Choose between bedroom one with a super king size bed, a spacious balcony with seating for 8 and stunning views, bedroom two with super king size bed and views to the fells, or bedroom three and four, both of which can be set up with a super king sized bed or two singles depending on the needs of your group. To the exterior, you will find a pretty, secluded garden where the paved patio area houses table and chairs for enjoying a spot of alfresco dining during the summer months. At the front there is an informal lawned area where you can sit and enjoy the view across the Cumbrian countryside. The nearby characterful village of Hawkshead which is a short walk away, has a number of pubs, teashops and a range of shops to pick up gifts or supplies.

Bowness or Windemere can be easily accessed via the ferry at Far Sawrey which crosses Lake Windemere on a picturesque journey. Those feeling active will be spoilt for choice by the selection of walks and cycle rides available, including walks from the house up to Tarn Hows, Black Crag or Latterbarrow, the easily accessible peaks from Coniston or the Langdale valleys, mountain biking in Grizedale or a varietyof road and gravel rides.
