This cottage is a reverse-level, two-bedroom property in Windermere, Cumbria. Sitting in a private cul-de-sac at a slightly elevated position, it offers commanding views of the surrounding fells and is within a mile of the eastern banks of Windermere. No hot tub here but the location more than compensates.

Windermere and Bowness are both within easy reach, with steamship connections heading north to Ambleside and south to Lakeside. Queen Adelaide's Hill, Orrest Head and the World of Beatrix Potter are all just a couple of miles away. Walkers, hikers and nature spotters will find this an excellent base.

The property sleeps four across two bedrooms. Bedroom 1 is a king-size with en-suite shower room and TV. Bedroom 2 is a super-king zip-and-link that converts to twin beds on request, also with TV. The first floor features an open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area with skylights and a Juliet balcony looking towards Windermere. There's also a snug with TV and games console.

Nearby: World of Beatrix Potter (1.5 miles / 5 mins), Windermere Jetty Museum (1.8 miles / 6 mins), Brockhole on Windermere (3 miles / 8 mins), Grasmere (8 miles / 20 mins).

This cottage suits couples and smaller families who want fell views, fast access to the lake and a well-equipped, spotlessly clean base in the heart of the Lake District.
