About this property

Nestled in the popular town of Windermere in Cumbria, is this fantastic end-terrace, Victorian property, Hollywood. Boasting a superb location within the Lake District National Park, in the heart of Windermere, and just moments away from the famous Lake Windermere, Hollywood is a wonderful dwelling for couples or a family of 11 who are looking to explore the Lakes.

After a moment of well-deserved relaxation, progress to the impressive kitchen/diner, where all the appliances a budding chef needs are available, including an impressive range cooker and a large fridge. Once the designated chef has made a tasty meal, it can be enjoyed at the dining table, which seats all the family, and also offers views of another TV; perfect for a bit of post-dinner unwinding. On the first floor you will discover, four beautifully decorated bedrooms, a king-size with its own bathroom, a double, a zip/linked super-king-size and a single, all of which have a shower room, ideal for those who prefer a little more privacy.

    Microwave was not working properly, kitchen exhaust was not working at all. Some bedrooms and toilets had some mould. Maintenance could be better.
