    “This cottage is simply lovely.”

    We had a great stay in an ideal location. The cottage was extremely comfortable and fully equipped with everything we could need. The only fault was the two little dogs constantly barking at the gate next door.

Stroll to the lake shore to hire a rowing boat or power boat, or take an elegant cruise on one of the Lake Windermere steamers.

Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly to Ambleside and Lakeside; a wonderful way to explore without even using your car.

Around the corner and just behind Workshop Cottage is a local traditional Lake District pub also the Urban Food House restaurant, Rastelli's Pizzeria , Angel Inn Westmorland Inn , Sian Thai cafe and many many more restaurants bars cosy pubs and sophisticated cocktail bars .There are also plenty of traditional Lakeland pubs, in the surrounding countryside to choose from.

Close to the village, you'll find Blackwell, The Arts and Crafts House.This impressive property takes a stunning position overlooking Lake Windermere, and has a range of interesting exhibitions.

Join the A591 to Ambleside and Grasmere, and you can explore the homes of famous Lake District poet, William Wordsworth .Another great idea is to take the car-ferry crossing over Lake Windermere from Bowness, to visit the former home of Beatrix Potter in Near Sawrey, and the picturesque village of Hawkshead.
