  • Mr Frankham

    “Great fully equipped cottage Location was ideal, a little way out of town but within close walking distance to restaurants etc.”

    There is a small garage at the back of the property but it was also easy to park on the street outside. Note there is building work in the house next door so some noise but it did not cause us any problems

The property

Greystones is the middle one of three Edwardian properties and ticks lots of boxes being in a sought after area of Bowness and really handy for everything that Bowness has to offer the holiday visitor...putting you in an ideal spot for walking to Lake Windermere, shopping and eating out, cinema, lake cruises and enjoyable walks from the door. Bowness is a year-round destination, popular with old and young alike. A short, less than five minute stroll, brings you to the shops and a bit further down the hill, The World of Beatrix Potter, and picturesque Bowness Bay with its steamer pier and boat hire. Walk from the door to Brantfell via Post Knott for fine views of the lake or join up to the Dales Way for an extended ramble in beautiful countryside towards School Knott and beyond. Accommodation: Front door entrance into hallway. There are two reception rooms, a charming bay-windowed dining room to the front (gas flame fire, cd player/radio/I-pod dock), and a cosy sitting room to the rear (Log burner, flat screen TV with You View/blu-ray DVD, free wi-fi broadband). Bright modern kitchen with underfloor heating and a door to rear courtyard. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, a spacious double bedroom at the front with brass bedstead, and a second twin room. Family bathroom (p-shaped bath with shower over, basin, wc and underfloor heating). Useful separate WC (WC and basin) on the second floor. Remaining rooms on third floor not accessible as for owner's use only. Furnishings throughout are comfortable with fitted carpets and gas central heating. Decor really complements the property including William Morris fabrics and wallpapers in carefully chosen colours. Outside: Rear yard with decked area for eating outside. Steps up to garage which has room for one medium sized car and also offers safe lockable bike storage. Parking is either in the garage or on street. Short walk to shops/pubs etc

About the location

BOWNESS-ON-WINDERMERE

Windermere Train Station 1.5 miles: Ambleside 5 miles; Kendal 7 miles.

The vibrant twin towns of Bowness and Windermere hold enduring appeal for visitors to the Lake District National Park, with each providing a range of nearby attractions, amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes. A variety of boat trips and boat hire are available from Windermere Lake Cruises in Bowness to Brockhole, Ambleside and Lakeside (at the southern end of the lake where the Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway are situated). The World of Beatrix Potter attraction and the Old Laundry theatre are 1.5 miles away. Orrest Head, where Alfred Wainwright was inspired to write his series of iconic guidebooks, is a 30-minute walk to enjoy the spectacular panorama of far-reaching views over the lake and surrounding fells. Brockhole, which offers high wire tree top experiences, is less than two miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck are a short drive away. There are also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake. The area is ideally situated for exploring all that this region has to offer, whether by foot, bike, car, railway or bus; and is within easy reach of attractions such as the spectacular Langdales, Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top House at Far Sawrey, Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park, with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking and “Go-Ape” adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike.
