The English Lake District is one of the most picturesque areas in the UK. Windermere is a busy little town at the end of a short single track railway line, which connects to Virgin West coast main line (London Euston - Oxenholme 3 hours). It boasts an 18 hole golf course, fabulous walks and views from the surrounding fells, as well as relaxing lake cruises on Windermere itself, the largest of the lakes. Whatever the weather is there always something for everyone.

Guestbook

A superb cottage. It really has a wow factor. We will be back.
Fantastic property. Everything we wanted and more. Quite position, yet close to town for drinks and eating out.
Enjoyed the golf at Kendal and Windermere.
Cruise on lake was beautiful as was The Undercroft. Definitely the best cottage we have stayed at.
