Be sure to raise a toast to your getaway then allow the kids to head downstairs to take advantage of the cinema room while you enjoy evening drinks out on the front patio. When the evening draws to a close choose between seven sumptuous bedrooms with handy en-suite shower rooms including super-kings with zip/link functions, king-sizes and a double along with a single bedroom serviced by a bathroom. During the day take a short walk into the heart of the village where you can stock up on all of your self-catering essentials at local stores or treat the whole family to an evening out at pubs like Lake View Garden Bar, Hole in t’ Wall and The Old John Peel Inn. Take a leisurely stroll down to Lake Windermere where you can catch a gentle boat ride to admire the scenery from the water or try something more adventurous like kayaking, canoeing, wakeboarding and kneeboarding! Outdoor enthusiasts can also find an abundance of walking trails including Orrest Head, Black Fell Peak and The Old Man of Coniston, and a foot and car ferry within a mile of the property allowing you to explore the area further.

Make unforgettable memories at Dene House.

Bowness and Windermere are two of the most popular destinations in the Lake District, and with good reason. The two towns are connected by a bridge and offer a wide variety of restaurants, stores, and entertainment options for tourists. Windermere Lake Cruises in Bowness, as well as those in Brockhole, Ambleside, and Lakeside, all provide a choice of boating excursions and boat rentals (at the southern end of the lake where the Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway are situated). Both the Old Laundry Theatre and the World of Beatrix Potter are within two miles of your hotel. Take a short hike to Orrest Head and take in the breath-taking views of the lake and surrounding fells that inspired Alfred Wainwright to write his series of classic guidebooks. The high wire treetop adventures of Brockhole are only three miles away, and it won't take long to reach the historic communities of Grasmere, Ambleside, and Troutbeck. For the more active visitors, marine centres lining the lake provide a wide range of watersports. Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking, and 'Go-Ape' adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts, and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, are all within easy reach from the area.
