Is Waingap Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Waingap offers excellent outdoor space for children to explore safely. The surrounding land provides room for games and adventures. Older children will enjoy the walking routes from the doorstep. Lake Windermere is 20-30 minutes away with the Aquarium of the Lakes and Lakeside Steam Railway. Younger children might find the rural location and drops in the grounds less suitable without constant supervision.

For Couples

This property is too large for most couples wanting a romantic break. The four bedrooms and spacious layout suit groups rather than two people. Couples would find smaller properties more intimate and better value. However, if you want serious walking access and don't mind the size, the panoramic views and woodburner create atmosphere. The ensuite double bedroom provides some privacy.

Pet Friendly

Waingap welcomes up to three dogs making it perfect for multi-dog households. The property sits in its own land giving dogs space to explore. Direct access to footpaths and bridleways means excellent walks without car journeys. The Dales Way passes nearby offering extended routes. The garden has a pond which requires supervision. This location suits active dogs and owners who enjoy serious walking.
