About this property

Wow! Quite simply, the vista from the front of Tower Cottage is one of the finest we've seen. Lake and mountain views to die for! Combine this with a high-end, super-stylish interior and a characterful and homely living environment, and you have a real Lakelovers favourite! Stunning accommodation for 6 on the edge of popular Windermere village in this elegantly converted former coach house.

It's fair to say you will be mesmerised by the views from the wide picture windows that look from the front of Tower Cottage over the beautiful garden and to the Lakeland peaks beyond. What would just be a painting hung on the wall in most other homes is simply the everyday outlook here! Watch the many moods of Lakeland dapple over the superb scenery from the comfort of your holiday hideaway.

Elegant and eclectic, the modern stylings that run through Tower Cottage have that sought-after sleek designer touch, with cool neutrals accentuating the sense of space and light provided by those fabulous panoramic picture windows, and wonderfully warm accent colours giving a real sense of identity and homeliness.

With all the attractions of Windermere village on your doorstep, as well as nearby Bowness and the walker's hub of Ambleside, there are so many adventures to be had here, and the best of these come when you get a map and some stout boots and discover the famous fells for yourselves. Back home, the hammocks and swings in the dreamy garden, with its lovely wildlife pond, make for a blissfully relaxing kind of adventure in their own right!

Tower Cottage is a premium choice for our Lakelovers to fully relax in and thoroughly discover the delights of the Lake District. With enormous windows and fabulous views, the comfortable sofas are set on wooden floors, around a 'Hwan' Danish circular wood-burner and surrounded by picture windows. The kitchen and dining area are pleasantly open to the lounge but set apart by contrasting slate floors.

The first super king size bedroom is on this level, with underfloor heated Lakeland slate bathroom.

Upstairs to the second lounge with TV and games section, panoramic box bay window and sleek white leather sofas.

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.
