About this property
A cosy bolthole for two between Windermere and Bowness, simple and ideal for exploring the Lakes.
A comfortable base for two in Windermere, ideal for exploring the Lakes. This simple apartment has everything you need for a relaxed stay, plus a handy location between Windermere and Bowness.
The space
Elterwater is a semi-detached stone cottage with everything you need for a relaxed stay in the Lakes.
On the ground floor, you’ll find the double bedroom with a freestanding bath, bedside tables with lamps, chest of drawers, and a cupboard under the stairs for bags or hanging space. There’s also a separate shower room with a WC and sink, just off the hallway.
Head upstairs to the open-plan living space, with a small but well-equipped kitchen (oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, utensils), a dining table for two, a comfy sofa with footstool, and a smart TV. The layout is compact and simple, ideal for a peaceful base between adventures.
