The Stable Nest

The Stable Nest is a ground-floor studio apartment in a converted 19th-century stable building near Bowness. You get a double bedroom, bathroom with shower over the bath, and an open-plan living and kitchen area all on one level. There's a small library of books, a Smart TV in both bedroom and living space, and a fully equipped kitchen with electric oven, hob and microwave. Bed linen, towels, electricity and Wi-Fi are all included, and there's private parking for one car a short distance downhill from the entrance.

The location puts you within walking distance of Bowness's shops, cafés and restaurants, and just a stroll from Lake Windermere itself. A pub is within a mile. Windermere town, with its cinema and independent retailers, is also nearby. The area suits couples looking to explore the lake and surrounding fells, whether by boat trips, steamer rides, or simply on foot. No smoking is permitted inside.
