About this property
Discover this beautiful property hidden in picturesque woodland just a stone's throw from the wondrous Lake Windermere and resting in a fabulous location for enjoying the Lake District. Perfect for two couples or friends seeking a walking adventure, this property provides contemporary, spacious interior in an idyllic setting near Troutbeck Bridge and Windermere. Begin your day with breakfast in the striking kitchen/diner, lined with an exposed red brick wall with a classic feature clock, the industrial metal and wood dining table and chairs provide the perfect spot to perch at while a hearty breakfast is cooked. The sleek kitchen area lies beneath lovely skylights and is home to all the appliances you need for a great self-catered stay including an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, and microwave. Relax in the sitting room adorned with lovely rustic wooden floorboards, and be welcomed into a brightly lit room, with a bay window offering a lovely view to the woodland outside, and a wood-burning stove resting beneath the large TV to keep you warm. In the next room you can enjoy a quiet moment in the snug. Head to the first floor to find two tranquil bedrooms each offering delightful settings to wind down in, with a super-king-size room and a king-size room, decorated with calm and neutral colours. Choose to freshen up in either of the excellent bathrooms, with a shower room or a bathroom with a free-standing bath both excellently fitted and finished. Step out into the garden where a terrace offers a pleasant spot to unwind at the end of the day, sit at the outdoor furniture with a glass of wine and listen to the sounds of the birds in the trees as the dusk starts to settle. Begin discovering the wonders of the Lakes just as the great Alfred Wainwright did by heading up to Orrest Head via a circular walk from Windermere to this amazing viewpoint and take in the scenic landscapes that are on your doorstep. Wander around the streets of Windermere and choose from the fabulous selection of eateries and pubs, with some restaurants offering fine dining, to grab a bite to eat and a refreshment, before deciding where to go next. Children and adults alike will love seeing Peter Rabbit and friends at the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction in Bowness-on-Windermere, with a lakes cruise giving you the perfect way to travel down to Lakeside where the Lake Aquarium showcases freshwater and marine life, as well as having an underwater otter tunnel. Just above Troutbeck Bridge in Ecclerigg is the Treetop Lake District Trek and Nets, providing a treetop adventure.

The door handle falling off was the worse thing whilst I was in the bathroom, not surprised considering the screws were found rusting on the shelf, if I had been alone in the property, I could have been stuck in there a while. Almost slipped and broke my in the neck in the garden on a step was loose and nearly sent me flying. No explanation on the bins and weremtonput the rubbish, they provide you with a tiny white and black bag, that gets used within the first three days and all the neighbours have different coloured bins for recycling etc. We tried reading the manual left in the cottage was just dumped and put together, not in order and have the pages have just been taken and dumped in the front. I did try reading it to see were to put recycling etc nothing. Not forgetting the coffee table wheel was broken which can't be helped but the wheel just left snapped off and not taken away, feel like the owners could presume we did it, but I took photos to prove it wasn't due to time stamp etc. I rang Sykes to inform them of all this said I would receive a call back nothing.

My family and I have over the years rented many holiday cottages and this is the very first time we have arrived and there has not even been a pint of milk in the fridge and some tea and coffee as a welcome, in fact in the shower room there wasn't even any toilet roll! We don't expect a red carpet, but a few essentials when you have paid over £1000 for the week would be really appreciated. The write up for the cottage does say access is not easy, however I think this underplays the fact it is actually dangerous at this time of year, there is no lighting or handrail and no attempt had been made to clear the steps of the fallen leaves from the autumn leaving them incredibly slippery in places. The description of the sleeping arrangements also leave a lot to be desired, there are not 2 king size bedrooms, although yes I agree the second bedroom does have a king size bed in, it cannot be described as king size, there is little more than six inches to squeeze down on the window side of the bed with 2 disused pipes sticking out of the floor to fall over in the middle of the night, and with the bed in place you cannot open the wardrobe door more than a third of the way making access almost impossible. Whilst I appreciate that when on holiday not everyone wants to cook to much we were in the cottage for Christmas and we found the kitchen to be poorly equipped to prepare dinner. There are only 3 pans, and a couple of oven trays, and whilst there are plenty of pint size glasses there was only 4 wine glasses and 4 (One of which was chipped on the rim) smaller glasses that could be used for a whiskey or a G&T. It is a nice house in a great location for exploring the lakes, but the over riding feeling you come away with is that the owner just wants to take the money and put no real effort into maintenance or or thought into how you would actually live in/use the house. A shame as with a bit of effort it could be great.

garden for our little dog location was about a 40 minute walk to lake windermere or a five minute drive if you didnt want to walk also Garage,/shop (spar) about 10 minutes walk with everything you needed omly thing I would say it that when you check in at 4 pm it was pitch black and no lighting up to property there was solar powered light but unfortunately don't work in the winter so would say lighting would be beneficial but by all means not a negative to the property would definitely stay again and recommend this to family and friends well worth a vist
