A Lake District cottage that sleeps 6
The cottage has three bedrooms: two doubles and a king-size. It is perfect for families, for couples or for groups of friends. The modern bathroom has a bath with an overhead shower.
Guests often tell us how comfortable the beds are and how well the cottage is equipped. There is full fibre wifi, a smart flatscreen TV and DVD player, a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The large double garage is ideal for storing boots, bikes, kayaks and boards.
There is ample parking for three vehicles and a 7 kW EV charger.
A family cottage with space to gather
The kitchen is one part of the house that guests tell us they love. It features an oven and hob, a dishwasher and a fridge. A large dining table provides room for everyone to meet together and to eat together.
Bed linen and towels are provided. Guests are also provided with a kitchen starter pack.
There is a fenced patio with a table and chairs for summer breakfasts and evening drinks. Several stunning lakeside and woodland walks start from the doorstep.
Room to relax after a busy day out
When the day is done, the lounge is where guests come together. There are comfortable sofas to sink into, and the wood burner is perfect for a relaxing evening after a busy day. A complimentary wood basket and firelighters are provided.
Babies and toddlers
A highchair and travel cot are available on request. There is a child safety gate at the top of the stairs.
If you are walking to Lakeside or Newby Bridge, you can join the West Windermere Way from Finsthwaite church to avoid the roads.
Rainy days for the family
Your six Swan Hotel spa passes mean all guests can enjoy the health club facilities at the Swan Hotel. Children are welcome until 7pm, and after that the pool is adults only. Guests say that access to the health club is a wonderful addition to their stay at Pinewood Cottage.
The Lakes Aquarium at Lakeside, tours at Stott Park Bobbin Mill and the steam railway are all close at hand.
Family days out in the south Lakes
High Dam and Great Knott Wood walks both start from the doorstep of Pinewood Cottage, and the West Windermere footpath is easily accessed.
The attractive village of Cartmel is a 15-minute drive away. It's home to the UK's smallest racecourse, and holds fantastic race days throughout the summer months. The ancient 12th-century priory is home to the nation's favourite sticky toffee pudding. If you fancy fine dining, try L'Enclume or its sister restaurant Rogan & Co (both have Michelin stars), but do make sure you book in advance.
Lake Windermere is just a 10-minute walk from the cottage, where you can embark on a lake cruise to Windermere and Ambleside, whilst enjoying glorious vistas of the surrounding area from a different perspective.
