This stylish home is the perfect base for friends or family looking to explore the captivating Lake District. Set on a quiet back street, the centre of popular Bowness-on-Windermere is less than 300 metres away. This bustling tourist town has a wide variety of shops selling local produce, outdoor clothing, locally made crafts and gifts, as well as a good choice of cafes, bars and restaurants. The Lake District is renowned for being the adventure capital of the UK, and there is an activity here for everyone, from sailing and climbing to hill walking, horse riding and kayaking. For a more sedate day out, take a boat trip from Bowness Pier and tour Lake Windermere. Hop on board one of the restored steamers and take in the sights of this spectacular landscape.

This traditional Lakeland stone building has been extensively refurbished to produce a fantastic holiday cottage. Downstairs, there is a spacious kitchen/diner. From the dining table, you can look out through double glass doors to the patio garden beyond. The lounge has a comfortable corner sofa facing the cosy wood burner, a perfect spot to plan the next day's activity or relax in front of the TV. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, each one light, airy and decorated with neutral tones. There is a super king-size room, a king-size with an en-suite shower, and a twin room with a TV and Xbox with a game pass - ideal for the younger members of your party. Also on this floor is the contemporary family bathroom.

Outside the kitchen, you have a lovely stone-walled patio area with a table, chairs and ambient lighting for dining under the stars on warm summer evenings.

Little Close is the best holiday cottage we have stayed in in the UK. The location is great - quiet but within walking distance of the shops, cafes bar etc. The house itself is tastefully decorated throughout and homely. We loved the kitchen opening onto the patio for summer. The cottage was well equipped. The owners have thought of every little dRead moreetail and comfort. Mr Martin was extremely helpful with the few questions I had. We would highly recommend this cottage. Hide

Really lovely the house, well decorated, kitchen had all we needed. Games and xbox were additional bonus especially when you coming with kids and the weather is not what you've hoped for. Its just a few steps from the town centre, probably 10-15min walls downhill to the pier. Parking spot just behind the house. Can absolutely recommend this cottageRead more and definitely will be back here. Hide

Little Close is one of the loveliest places Ive ever stayed. Its incredibly cosy, beautifully decorated and spacious. Theres ample storage available, the kitchen, bathrooms and all other common areas are well equipped and have everything you could possibly need available (including a very good range of board games I might add!), and it genuinely feRead morelt like a home away from home. Location wise, you couldnt be closer to the centre of Bowness which is amazing for walking in and getting around, but the house remains so quiet - you wouldnt even know you were that close. If you need a peaceful, comfortable and all around lovely break away I couldnt recommend somewhere more. Its definitely somewhere Im coming back to! Hide
