You’ll find plenty of space for sociable meals in Woodside West, whilst the views bring about a sense of serenity and of course the bonus of Bowness and Lake Windermere right outside your door..
The patio/terrace with two private parking spaces are rare to find from such a central location, they are perfect for warm days or for enjoying a glass of something before dinner and so here you really do have the best of both worlds. Bowness village is just a stone's throw away, with fine restaurants, convenient shops and pubs. If searching for a smart, central Lakeland cottage, with more bathrooms than bedrooms, Woodside West is well worth considering.

Brockhole, which offers high wire tree top experiences, is less than two miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck are a short drive away. There are also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake. The area is ideally situated for exploring all that this region has to offer, whether by foot, bike, car, railway or bus; and is within easy reach of attractions such as the spectacular Langdales, Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top House at Far Sawrey, Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park, with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking and “Go-Ape” adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike.

Shame about the weather!

Love it here.

Not a problem for us but might be for some people especially getting all the food shopping to the kitchen upstairs and suitcases up two flights to the bedrooms. The photo of the outside space is misleading, itâs not private in the sense of not being overlooked as itâs in the car park area, but it is only used by this property. We didnât like it and didnât want to use it.
