About this property
A timeless hideaway for two in wonderful Windermere! Romance is in the very fabric of this stylish slate-built love-nest, and the quietly appointed location is still so close to the village centre that you just have to take a few steps to be in the heart of Lakeland life. Upgraded with care to offer modern luxury without ever compromising on traditional charm, Wheatlands Cottage has all the hallmarks of a real Lakelovers favourite.
Your glorious, detached Lakeland cottage features a cosy yet spacious open-plan living area, with that all-important warming wood-burner for snuggling up around, and direct access to the fabulous enclosed sun-trap slated patio garden, designed so that you'll never miss the chance for an al-fresco breakfast or an evening wind-down glass of wine together. The opulent bedroom suite also offers access to the patio and superb natural light via the french doors, and your cottage benefits from two stylish bathroom facilities. Superbly refurbished to add an indulgent contemporary chic to traditional Lakeland character, Wheatlands Cottage is the perfect tonic for weary minds and bodies!
Tucked away just off the very centre of Windermere village, Wheatlands combines a satisfying sense of peace with ultimate convenience. The alluring restaurants, cafes and quirky shops that line the historic streets of this ever-popular Lakeland village are a short wander away, and indeed the sumptuous fare of Homeground Coffee And Kitchen is just round the corner; our tip for a hearty breakfast to begin your day's adventure! Windermere has all you need for a thoroughly entertaining stay, and the surrounding area has endless attractions to discover.
Adventuring is easy from this premium Lake District location. Bowness Bay, with its famous steamers waiting to whisk you off on a cruise of beautiful Lake Windermere, is nearby, and to the north Ambleside is a walkers and climbers' paradise. The whole of the southern and central Lake District is just a short car ride away, and the walking and mountain-biking potential from your very doorstep is simply unparalleled. Orrest Head, School Knott, and Brantfell all rise up around Windermere village, and the picturesque, green Troutbeck and Lyth valleys are close by, too, with their winding lanes and dry-stone walls.
Come and cuddle up in welcoming Wheatlands Cottage, and experience the very best of the Lake District with Lakelovers!
The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.

Would suggest swapping the curtains as we found the bedroom very bright at 6:00am but sitting room much darker.
