Is Whimhowe Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Whimhowe has space for children to play in the sloping front garden and rear patio. A large children's park is about 20 minutes walk away. The property provides a cot and highchair for younger guests. Five bedrooms mean kids can have their own rooms or share with siblings. Smart TVs throughout keep them entertained. Nearby attractions include Brockhole on Windermere and boat rides from Ambleside to Bowness.
For Couples
Whimhowe is not ideal for couples as it's designed for large groups of 10 guests. The five-bedroom layout and parking for six cars suit families rather than romantic breaks. Couples would find the property too large and better suited to group holidays. The Lake District location offers romantic walks and scenery, but smaller properties would provide a more intimate setting for two people.
Pet Friendly
Two well-behaved pets are welcome at Whimhowe. The property has a sloping lawned garden at the front and an extensive rear patio where dogs can spend time outdoors. Walks around Windermere and the Lake District National Park provide excellent exercise opportunities. The ground floor layout means pets can access outdoor spaces easily. Local parks are within 0.2 miles for additional walking routes.
