Overview

Ideal location set on a quiet street only a few minutes’ walk from the heart of the Lakes with both Windermere and Bowness within walking distance.

Situated in the popular Lake District town of Bowness-on-Windermere, this contemporary and well-designed apartment with beautiful garden is both spacious and comfortable, with a very warm and welcoming feel. Set back from the main street, in a quiet location, makes this the perfect base for a couple or family to experience everything the lakes has to offer. The location is very peaceful, yet only a short walk will bring you to the vibrant town of Bowness-On-Windermere with all it has to offer, from pubs and restaurants to cafés, delis and coffee shops & cinema. Or a short walk in the other direction will bring you to the town centre of Windermere with its own selection of shops, restaurants and supermarkets. During the day, head down to the shore of Lake Windermere, take in the beautiful views before joining a tour of the lake via the steamboats or if you prefer, hire some Kayaks and have your own mini adventures.

On entering the property, you firstly enter the grand open-plan kitchen/diner with large bay windows which are themselves a suntrap. The kitchen is a cook’s dream with space a plenty and everything you need to cook up a storm with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and washing machine and tumble dryer, along with a dining table and chairs. Along the corridor to the spacious lounge with two two-seater sofas and Smart TV, a perfect spot to relax with a film after a day’s exploring. Go down the stairs to the lower ground floor, on the left is a separate WC adjacent to the smaller bedroom, its king size bed can be made into twin beds by separate request to the bookings team, the en-suite has wash hand basin & shower. The larger king-size bedroom (adjacent) has plenty of storage space, en-suite bathroom with bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and WC, also accessing the private garden via patio doors.

Outside the spacious garden has patio, decking and covered seating areas. Roadside parking is available.

The holiday property is clean & modern and in a good location for both Windermere & Bowness. A little welcome pack Garden is hard landscaped & enclosed, so perfect if you have dogs. The only drawback, Sainsbury's couldn't find property (didn't call us), so failed to deliver order :-(

Extremely well appointed property in easy walking distance to the shops, restaurants and pier/lake. Excellent on street parking outside the property. Very modern inside and really good to have sole use of the garden area if you do take a dog to the property, which is accessed via the main bedroom double doors at ground level.

Lower Thornbarrow was nice enough the garden is an added bonus, for us the place did not feel homely it felt like a rental. Just little touches missing but perhaps we felt like this because we had just stayed at a beautiful property in Keswick the week before and prefer that area. The location was not for us a little far out and frankly Windermere Read moreand Bowness are disappointing. Parking is good with no issues. This property was just not for us, sadly but can see why others do. Hide
