About this property
Tucked away in the popular town of Windermere, Cumbria, is this superb four-storey, mid-terrace house, Burn House. Enjoying a fantastic location in the Lake District National Park, just moments away from Lake Windermere, Burn House is a fabulous pet-friendly choice for a group or family of eight. The property benefits from off-road parking for one car and a rear enclosed garden with patio, a perfect spot for alfresco dining whilst listening to the soundtrack of the nearby river, whilst adjacent to a play park and tennis club, suitable for the entire family. Enter the ground floor, where you will find a lovely snug with plush seating, and a Smart TV, ideal for relaxing with loved ones, along with a well-presented double bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a handy cloakroom. Head to the lower-ground-floor, where you will find a fully-equipped kitchen/diner for rustling up your best dishes, ready to savour at the dining table over celebratory bottles of fizz, a utility for your convenience, and a light and airy sitting room with crackling woodburning stove and a Smart TV, great for movie nights with loved ones. Continue up to the first floor, where two lovely bedrooms await, an additional double with en-suite shower room, and a bunk room, ideal for the little ones to snuggle up in. Both bedrooms have access to a large bathroom where you can freshen up after a day of adventure. On the second-floor, you will find the master bedroom, a beautifully presented king-size with en-suite bathroom, desk space and views over to the Coniston Ranges. Explore your surroundings, where you can hike up Queen Adelaide’s Hill and Orrest Head for exceptional views of the Langdale Pikes, try your hand at a variety of water sports on the famous lake, visit The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction and the Windermere Jetty Museum, test out your swing at the excellent Windermere Golf Club, or treat your loved ones to Italian cuisine at San Pietro, fresh seafood at Hooked and hearty pub fare at The Lamplighter Dining Rooms. For fine dining, take the short drive over to Bowness-on-Windermere, where you will find the Michelin Star Restaurants of Henrock, Gilpin Spice and HriSHi. Continue onto Ambleside, where you can visit a fascinating 2nd-century Roman Fort and the stunning Stock Ghyll Force, or further to Grasmere to follow in the footsteps of William Wordsworth at his former home of Allan Bank. For an unforgettable holiday to the Lakes, choose Burn House.
Bowness and Windermere, two neighbouring villages in the Lake District, are bustling, entertaining hubs. Ambleside, with its boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium, and Beatrix Potter's “Hill Top House” at Sawrey, offers even more attractions than the other town. Grizedale Forest Park is conveniently located not far from the city, and it offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities. If you're looking for a more action-packed vacation, the area also has many National Trust sites and a wide range of water activities to offer. The 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness is sure to be a hit with the kids, while the nearby towns of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick, and the Lakeland Mountains are well worth a visit.

Heating should not be on timer. There should be clear instructions for underfloor heating( none at all) Front gate requires maintenance as it jams in damp weather. We were flooded twice in the kitchen. Plumbing should be better maintained as there was evidence of previous flooding.

We have been twice now but each time we werenât given any starter wood which we were told we would and also I think they need to keep the maintenance better on the property as the window wouldnât shut upstairs and also the fridge seal around the door was broken . Lovely place though

With the size of the property it is likely there would be 2 groups so parking was an issue with it being busy and parkingfor just 1 car. There was a damp smell in the kitchen. The lower ground floor could have done with an extra clean, presumably that's where people keep their dog ( we did) I think the cream choice of rug is perhaps a bad idea! Also, some owners had clearly allowed them on the beds upstairs, not the owners fault. The bathrooms were clean with good showers and plenty of hot water, the property is very warm! We spent our time on the lower ground floor because of the dog but the living room on the ground floor looked beautiful. We had to bring seats in from the kitchen when we were all in but not an issue. Overall we had a lovely stay, thankyou.
