About this property
6 Calgarth View is a charming three-bedroom holiday home located in Windermere, Cumbria, where you can experience the beauty of the Lake District National Park. Boasting private parking, and the added convenience of being close to local amenities, this delightful abode is an idyllic choice for a family, group of friends or sharing couples looking to explore the countless wonders of the Lakes and the surrounding breathtaking mountain ranges. Upon entering 6 Calgarth View, you will be greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploring. The living/dining room with its sleek, wall-mounted Smart TV, is the ideal spot to catch up on your favourite shows, whilst the well-equipped kitchen, fitted with an electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and a fridge/freezer, provides a great platform for all your cooking needs. When the sun is shining, take advantage of the rear patio, featuring a barbeque, where you and your loved ones can delight in an alfresco feast as you raise a glass to toast your holiday. At the end of the day, make your way upstairs to the three well-appointed bedrooms, with a choice between two doubles(one of them en-suite with basin and WC) and a bunk; all complete with smart TVs and serving as tranquil sanctuaries for you to catch your precious rest in. Start the day with a revitalising shower before you head out to explore what the local area has to offer. Take a short stroll into the heart of Windermere, where you can pay a visit to an array of quaint shops and eateries, with the village enjoying some of the most spectacular views of the magnificent Lake Windermere. Discover unrivalled views along the shores of Lake Windermere from the elevated seating of an open top double decker bus. The bus travels between Kendal and Keswick, and the property is on the bus route, with a bus stop only 10 metres from the property. The bus calls at Windermere rail station, so connections from trains are definitely possible. If you're looking for something more active, lace up your boots and embark on a hike up some of the highest mountains in England – Scafell Pike and Helvellyn - before you make a beeline for Ullswater and Derwentwater, two of the most brilliant lakes in the country, and a fantastic detour whatever the weather. And if you'd rather stay away from the trails, explore some of the charming villages located on the banks of the lakes, such as Ecclerigg, Coniston, or Newby Bridge, or take a boat trip around the lake where you can fully soak in the breathtaking, all-encompassing scenery. For an unforgettable getaway whatever the season, choose 6 Calgarth View for your next stay in Cumbria.

Outside dining only had one bench and no chairs. Fridge was too small. We were only a party of 3 and it was too small for us. The property is 6 berth sodeffinatelt too small for that. Unable to park at rear as end property building work scaffolding severly restrcted if not blocked access. Parking opposite the property as suggested by sykes was not always available and even so it was an extremely busy road to cross when parked opposite. Property location was good for visiting the surrounding areas. Bus stop right outside property which was good. The property was clean on arrival. The neighbour(we only met the lady in the attached end property) was lovely and really friendly The shower was a good size and good power The bedrooms were comfortable The washing and drying building was good
