In a nutshell: Views of Windermere, indoor pool, large grounds, broadband, two bathrooms, pet friendly. Our featured Cumbrian cottages include this magnificent property within walking distance of Bowness on the shore of Windermere, England's longest and perhaps the best known lake. Bowness is Cumbria's most popular destination, with the town busy for much of the year. People come to enjoy the lake for sailing and watersports, or just to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the area and the town's delightful setting or even a leisurely cruise.
