Immerse yourself in the heart of the Lake District at Bowness on Windermere. Whether you are looking for a last-minute relaxing break or an active walking or sailing holiday, Newfold Cottage is the perfect location. Built in 1836 Newfold Cottage was a central part of the former Free Grammar School. The foundation stone was laid by William Wordsworth the world-famous poet, making this historic cottage a rich addition to the local history of the Lake District. The foundation stone is still in place at the front of the building and is a popular feature of the village.
Newfold Cottage has been tastefully decorated throughout by the current owners with high-end carpets, flooring, furnishings, soft furnishings including bedding linen and towels. The property has three bedrooms, one with a kingsize bed, the others with a double bed, the third bedroom is very much a cosy hideaway loft room, accessed via a spiral staircase, guests will discover a double bed, bedside cabinets, a set of drawers and a Smart TV. The kitchen is fully equipped with pans, plates and utensils and you will find everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The town has a vibrant, bustling atmosphere, especially in the summer months and a superb lakeside setting with lovely views across the lake. Independent retailers, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and bars are all just a stroll away from the cottage. Visitors can enjoy a boat ride to Ambleside or perhaps enjoy a picnic on the shore whilst watching the world go by. There are walks in abundance right from your doorstep, and whether it be a steady stroll or a hardy ramble, the scenery will not disappoint. Bowness caters for all ages with plenty to see and do including the Beatrix Potter Exhibition, Steamboat Museum, cinema, as well as a crazy golf pitch and putt course, cycle hire and a sailing marina.
We truly hope you enjoy your stay at Newfold Cottage.
