Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Children have access to books, games, toys and DVDs throughout the cottage. A cot and highchair are available for younger guests. The enclosed front and rear patios provide safe outdoor space. Lake Windermere sits 10 minutes away for boat trips and paddling. World of Beatrix Potter Attraction is 1.5 miles away with interactive exhibits and Peter Rabbit displays.

For Couples

This property is better suited to families and groups rather than couples. The four-bedroom layout across four floors provides more space than most couples need.
