22 Thirlmere, Cumbria

An immaculately presented, detached lodge located on a superbly maintained holiday park on the shores of Lake Windermere in the beautiful Lake District. Well-appointed throughout to provide wonderful accommodation, this all-ground floor Windermere cottage has three bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and there is also a private hot tub for guests to enjoy all year round. The open plan living area exudes quality and style, with a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area and a sitting area with flat screen TV and French doors leading to the front decked area, complete with an indulgent bubbling hot tub. The lake shore is only a few hundred yards and has a jetty where boats are moored. There is plenty of space for picnics, lots of ducks to feed and the sunsets from this idyllic lakeside location are unspoilt and look out across the lake to the mountains beyond. The lovely village of Troutbeck Bridge is home to a convenience store and the delightful Sun Inn, ideal for when you don’t fancy cooking. Drive on to Windermere, where you can enjoy a wide variety of watersports on world-famous Lake Windermere, take in the scenery from the top of Queen Adelaide's Hill and Orrest Head, explore the popular World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, and feast on fresh seafood at Hooked. Bowness-on-Windermere is where you'll find three Michelin-starred restaurants, perfect for the foodies in your group. In addition to the Armitt Library and Museum Centre and the stunning Stock Ghyll Force, Ambleside also features a fascinating 2nd-century Fort, or you can venture further to Grasmere, where you can wander around the former home of the great poet, William Wordsworth. Experience all of this, and then some, at 22 Thirlmere.
