Although small, this two bedroom property with shower room toilet and kitchen, living room is in beautiful grounds only 150 yards from Windermere Lake. The views of the lake are spectacular. There is an outside bench seat where we sat on sunny days overlooking the lake. The property is only a short walk from The Firbank Hotel bus stops where you can catch the 555 Stagecoach bus to Kendal, Keswick or further afield. Ambleside, Windermere or Bowness are only a short distance away. Great for Boat Trips , Shopping, Eating out etc. This property is unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems. The drive from the property to Rayrigg Road is extremely steep as is the drive from the alloted parking area, or the waste and recycling bins. Would we stay here again?definately yes. The weather was kind to us and this Lakeland Area is so very beautiful.

Comfortable accommodation in a good location overlooking Windermere lake, fairly close to Bowness (2 miles) and Windermere (1 mile). The accommodation was comfortably warm (late October) and although relatively small large enough for 3 people. Overall a very pleasant stay.
