Is Walkers Rest Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
The property offers a ground floor bedroom and family bathroom on the first floor with a large rain head shower. A highchair is available for younger children. The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction sits 2 miles away. Lake Windermere provides boat trips and water activities. However, the three-storey layout with uneven stairs requires supervision for young children.
For Couples
This townhouse may not be the most romantic choice for couples. The property sleeps six and is designed for families or groups rather than intimate getaways. The three-storey layout and lack of features like a hot tub make it less suitable for romantic breaks. Couples would find better options elsewhere in the Lake District.
Pet Friendly
Walkers Rest welcomes up to two dogs. The property has a private paved courtyard with patio furniture. Lake Windermere sits 20 minutes' walk away and Orrest Head is 1.2 miles away for dog walks. However, the courtyard is paved rather than grassed which some dogs may find less suitable. The location provides good access to Lake District walking routes.
