Tarn Rigg
Tarn Rigg is a generously sized cottage in Bowness-on-Windermere, sleeping up to 10, making it well suited to larger families or groups holidaying together in the Lake District. It's near a train station with EV charging nearby, and Windermere station is just 0.6 mi away.

You're well placed for museums, with From Auschwitz to Ambleside, Windermere Jetty and The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction all under a mile from the door. Windermere, Rayrigg Meadow beach, with excellent water quality, is 0.9 mi away for lakeside walks or a paddle.

Homeground tea rooms and Little Chippy are both close by too, making it easy to grab something to eat without venturing far from the cottage.
