About this property
This Victorian, mid-terrace house of Beckmead rests in Windermere, Cumbria and is perfect for families to come and enjoy some time away together.
The house accommodates a group of six and has been very thoughtfully decorated, with a pet-friendly policy in place to make it easy for you to bring your four-legged friend along for the holidays with you.
Upon arrival, you will find that the house has on-street parking and free parking in a nearby car park to make it easy for you to arrive and get settled in.
Make your way inside to be welcomed by one of two fabulous sitting areas, the first of which is a sitting room enjoying sumptuous décor, a glowing electric fire, and a Smart TV.
The other is a snug that can be found at the rear of the property, and is the perfect spot for teens, thanks to its plush seating and 65" Smart TV!
When you're feeling peckish, head to the brand-new fitted kitchen, a well-presented space enjoying matt units and integrated appliances.
Once a mouth-watering meal has been fixed up here, bring it over to the tastefully furnished dining room, where a table for six awaits; an electric fire warms up the space, giving it the perfect ambiance for a family meal!
When night falls, venture to the first floor to find one of the three lovely bedrooms inhabiting the house, comprising a king-sized bed and en-suite bathroom room.
Progress upstairs again to find two further bedrooms, one with a king-size bed, as well as a basin, en-suite shower room, the other a double bed and en-suite bathroom room.
Behind the property lies a charming, enclosed yard with a table and seating for six, where you can escape for a bit of quiet time in the morning with a steaming cup of coffee in hand!
Embark on a short walk into the centre of Windermere and spend the day exploring the attractions of The World of Beatrix Potter and the Windermere Jetty Museum; alternatively, you can embark on walks along Queen Adelaide's Hill and Orrest Head Viewpoint, both of which are areas showcasing the best of Windermere's views.
Why not spend the day at Lake Windermere, where Miller Ground and Hodge Howe offer fantastic water sports opportunities, and a ferry from Bowness-on-Windermere lets you sail across the water to the sights of Far Sawrey.
Be sure to travel to Ambleside, a town steeped in history, which you can learn of at the Ambleside Roman Fort, before visiting the fantastic Stagshaw Gardens or hiking towards Stock Ghyll Force or Wansfell Pike.

Plenty of room for our 3 teens and dog to have space to themselves. Great location for touring the Lakes and within easy walking distance of Lake Windermere. Always easy to find on street parking outside the property even for two cars. Friendly and helpful owners. Definitely recommend.

Great accommodation and very well equipped. Lovely touch with welcome pack too. And as the weather was so brilliant we managed to eat at the very large table outside. Although the garden is secure for dogs there was one part where he managed to jump off the wall into next door. But we easily managed to barricade it to stop it happening again. Owners brilliant too as kept in touch by text and we were able to access the property earlier than expected. All in all a great weekend and would definitely stay again.
