Meadowcroft Cottage
Tucked into Bowness-on-Windermere, Meadowcroft Cottage is a comfortable base for four wanting to explore the Lake District without a long drive to the action. You're within easy walking distance of The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction and Windermere Jetty, while From Auschwitz to Ambleside offers a thoughtful change of pace if you fancy something more reflective.

Stop for a bite at Blackwell Tea Room or Joey's Cafe, both close by and both five-star rated for hygiene. Windermere station is just over two miles off for those arriving by train, and on a warmer day you can head down to Rayrigg Meadow, where the water quality is rated Excellent. EV charging is available nearby, handy if you're travelling by electric car.
