Kim's Retreat
Kim's Retreat in Bowness-on-Windermere sleeps four and comes well equipped with WiFi, parking, a laundrette, and easy access to both a bus stop and train station, making it a practical base for a Lake District stay without much fuss.

You're within a mile of several attractions, including The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, Windermere Jetty, and From Auschwitz to Ambleside. The Village Inn and Homeground are both close by for meals out. Windermere station is just 0.9 miles away, and Windermere's Rayrigg Meadow, with excellent water quality, is a similarly short distance for lakeside walks or a dip. It all adds up to a spot that suits those who'd rather explore on foot than rely on the car.
