Is Gillercombe Right For You?

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. However, the king-size bedroom with en-suite and TV offers privacy. Electric fires in both sitting rooms create cosy evenings. The 10-minute walk to Lake Windermere provides romantic lakeside strolls.
Pet Friendly
Gillercombe does not accept pets. The property operates a strict no-pets policy for all guests. If you're travelling with dogs, you'll need to find alternative accommodation in the Bowness area. Many other Lake District cottages welcome pets, but this Victorian property maintains a pet-free environment for all visitors throughout the year.
