Is Fairhaven Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Fairhaven provides a good base for families exploring the Lake District. The enclosed garden offers safe outdoor space for children. The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction is 0.4 miles away. A cot and highchair are available. Lake Windermere's shores are 10 minutes walk with boat trips and waterside activities. The twin bedroom suits siblings sharing. Brockhole visitor centre 2.8 miles away has adventure playgrounds and treetop nets.
For Couples
Fairhaven may not be the ideal romantic retreat as it's a family-sized three-bedroom property. The quiet residential location does provide peaceful evenings away from tourist crowds. The enclosed garden with furnished patio offers private outdoor space. Lake Windermere sits 10 minutes walk away for waterside strolls. Two king-size bedrooms provide comfortable sleeping arrangements. The living flame gas fire creates a cosy atmosphere on cooler evenings.
Pet Friendly
Fairhaven does not accept pets. The property operates a strict no-pets policy for all bookings. If you're travelling with a dog, you'll need to find alternative accommodation in the Bowness-on-Windermere area. Many other Lake District properties do welcome pets, but this particular cottage is not suitable for guests bringing animals. The enclosed garden would otherwise have been ideal for dogs.
