    “A fabulous property from which to explore The Lakes.”

    Conveniently located in Windermere, own parking, centre of town though nice and quiet, tucked behind the high street. The property is one of the best-equipped that we've stayed in, particularly the kitchen. Lots of useful guides and maps too. Really comfy bed. Had a wonderful week and hope to return again.
