The Hollies

Couples and solo travellers will find The Hollies suits a Lake District break well. This first-floor apartment in Bowness sleeps two in a double bedroom, with a bathroom that has a bath and shower, and a living space where a Smart TV and basic kitchen equipment—electric oven, hob, microwave and fridge—allow you to cook if you want to. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included. One car parking space comes with the property, and there's a pub within a mile on foot.

Bowness sits on Lake Windermere's eastern shore, close enough to the water for lakeside walks from the flat. The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction is nearby if that appeals. The town itself has shops, cafés and restaurants within a hundred yards, and Windermere village uphill offers more independent shops and eating places. Access to the western side of the lake is straightforward via the Hawkshead ferry crossing. The surrounding Lakeland villages have their own pubs serving local food and beer. The property is non-smoking.
