Tucked away from the everyday hustle and bustle, and yet just a few minutes’ walk from Windermere village centre, Bottle Tops is a contemporary Lakeland cottage offering high quality accommodation in an excellent location.

The front door opens into an entrance hall leading to a welcoming living/dining room with comfortable leather sofas, living flame gas fire and Smart HD TV. The large family dining table is a lovely social area. The fitted kitchen is stylish and well equipped. Upstairs to the bedrooms – 1 large king-size bed with luxurious en-suite bathroom with feature bath, walk in shower, basin and WC. The second bedroom can be super king-size double or a twin-bedded room. Off the landing there is a smart family shower room with power shower, basin and WC. One parking space is available in the car port (the old loading bay in the days of Swainson’s Bottling Store) and a resident’s on street car parking permit is also provided. Originally Swainson’s Bottling Store (1854) this was where the local spring water and other refreshments such as the famous Swainson’s Ginger Beer were bottled.

Windermere village centre has a delightful busy traditional feel, with lots of shops, galleries and cafes, along with a superior Booths supermarket., traditional Lakeland pubs and restaurants. 2 miles down the road, you’ll discover the bustling, cosmopolitan Bowness-on-Windermere, with shops, bars, restaurants and of course the Lake itself. Here you enjoy lake cruises, which can take you up to Ambleside & Lakeside, hire boats and generally enjoy the fantastic views. Jump straight onto the main A591 to head north along to Ambleside, Grasmere & Keswick. You’ll also access the Langdale Valley and Coniston, and a scenic drive over the Kirkstone Pass, through the Troutbeck Valley drops you down to Ullswater. You'll also enjoy lovely strolls from the doorstep of your Windermere holiday cottage – why not walk to the top of Orrest Head, where the lake views are the same today as the ones that inspired Alfred Wainwright.

The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.
