Heavenly home-from-home in the country! A property of real character in an unmatchable location, Juniper Cottage preserves its wonderful 1920's style whilst cocooning visitors in contemporary comfort. With generous garden grounds, great walks from your door, fabulous fell views, and plenty of rural restfulness, this is a great choice for a family or group of friends to come and experience the best the Lakes has to offer.

“A stunning rural location... spacious maintained grounds and gardens for guests to enjoy and relax" (Visit England)

The gorgeous woodland garden that impressed Visit England is extensive and well laid out, providing excellent outdoor space, and the terrace has garden furniture along with a barbecue for those lazy summer afternoons. Beyond almost an acre of lawns and wild flowers, you can stroll straight out of the garden gates onto the “Great Field”, and onto a section of the Dales Way. This is not the only fine walk available from your doorstep, and a network of enticing footpaths weave all around you in this fabulous section of Lake District countryside. Orrest Head is an excellent peak to summit close to Windermere village, as does Brant Fell, and the magnificent Central Fells lie just to your north.

Juniper Cottage provides a useful ground-floor wet-room for drying that walking clobber after a muddy trek over the Lakeland fells. Once you're settled back inside, the tastefully upgraded décor and furnishings ensure a thoroughly rejuvenating experience. Sit back on sumptuous sofas and watch films together on the large-screen TV, or switch off and watch the wildlife, including deer, that frequent the gardens. Look out from the many picture windows across the meadows and woodlands to the imperious mountain tops beyond, and you'll surely be glad you chose this rather special holiday home!

The owners thoughtfully supply some local produce to get you started on your holiday, and with so many great country inns scattered in the hill and pasture lands around you, and all the eateries of Bowness and Windermere just a stone's throw away, you'll always have plenty in the way of food and drink options. Nothing beats making your own meals in the wonderful wood-surfaced country kitchen at Juniper, though, and eating together in the elegant dining-room, or better still in the evening sunshine on the stunning terrace, with its unrivaled views.

Juniper Cottage is a residence thoroughly comfortable in its own serene space, and we're sure you will be, too, when you stay with us here!

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.
