Is Quarry End Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
The cottage location offers easy access to the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction just 0.3 miles away. Lake Windermere provides boat trips and waterside activities within a 10-minute walk. However, the second bedroom has low sloping ceilings which require care when moving around. The property sits on a busy high street without a garden play area. Families should note the compact second bedroom and town centre setting.
For Couples
Quarry End provides an excellent romantic base in the heart of Bowness. The main bedroom features a large comfortable bed and Juliette balcony doors. You can walk to lakeside restaurants in minutes. The enclosed patio offers a private spot for morning coffee. Two parking spaces mean easy exploration of the Lakes. The well-equipped kitchen and open-plan living space create a cosy atmosphere for couples.
