  • "Our stay was lovely, the house has everything you need for a long stay."

    Beds are very comfortable, rooms and bathroom were spotless clean and the shower is absolutely amazing. Only downside was that the electric kettle was dirty inside, it had some kind of sticky residue that had not been cleaned properly in a while I think. We were not able to use it which was a bit of a challenge at tea time. But everything else was great.

  • "Over all enjoyed our stay , the field close by was great for walking our dog."

    Really enjoyed meals and snacks at the mission cafe 3 minute walk away not to far to walk into Windermere. Only negative was the length of the grass on the back garden if it had been me i would have cutt it 1 off the flags on the steps up to the setting area is loses needs rebeding down. Over all enjoyed our stay.

  • "We had a fantastic stay at Ananda House."

    The property is extremely well furnished; the bed is a full super king size and extremely comfortable, the sofas are great for cosy evenings and the general fit and finish of the place is lovely. Our dog absolutely loved the garden, which is fully enclosed so we had no worries letting him run around freely. There was plenty of pans and cooking utensils for us, and both the hob and oven are clearly very new and work brilliantly. The house is also positioned really well, it's a short walk down into the local shops and if your dog needs a longer run, there's a massive playing field straight across the road. It's in a quiet area and the garden would be a perfect place to sit out in during the summer to relax with a book or three! A couple of things which could be improved and to note: - The entrance hallway has a fantastic warm radiator but unless we missed it there is absolutely nowhere to hang up wet coats after a rainy walk. It would be great if the owner could add a freestanding unit by the radiator. The same really applies for shoes, if you go for long walks you'll likely get muddy boots which it would be good to have a small rack for, just to keep them tidy. - The shower is incredible, however the gap between the wall and the fixed glass screen where you get into the shower is fairly small and extremely close to the extremely hot vertical radiator, so you have to be careful not to injure yourself when getting in/out. We managed ok but might have been a struggle if we were larger! Would also have been good to have had more space to hang wet towels (maybe a towel rail instead of the radiator?), this would probably have been more of an issue if there was more than just the two of us staying. Overall though, our experience of the house was great and we'd definitely come back again.

  • "Lovely property, close to amenities, warm and comfortable, however some essentials such as bread knife, tea pot, a decent tin opener and bigger selection of crockery would have been appreciated."

    There was minimal information regarding waste disposal. Somewhere to hang outdoor clothing other than 2 hooks in the cupboard would have helped as it was for 5 people. All in all a relaxing holiday, with a very good cafe, round the corner.

  • "Ananda House is an absolute gem of a property."

    The house was very well laid out and equipped, with a good sized secure garden and driveway. The location of the property is perfect for a walk into Windermere village or down to Bowness for a stroll and lunch by the lakeside. Also perfect for a quiet getaway with plenty of walking routes and short drives to enjoy, with a large local park nearby as well safe for children and dog walks.

  • "The property was in a well positioned area of Windermere."

    Only 10 mins walk to centre of town and ideal for families as a park straight across the road. Generally very clean, I had to clean the toaster and surface top as lots of crumbs there. Plenty of indoor seating and dining table seating. I didn’t like the memory foam mattress in my room or the feather pillows which made my stay uncomfortable but do understand some people would prefer these. The kitchen was well equipped and nice to see clean oven trays (looked brand new). My only disappointment was the garden and the front of house. The lawn was overgrown and weeds everywhere. It was difficult to check before letting our dog out. We did sit on the outdoor furniture, just a pity our grandchild couldn’t make use of the lawn area. Overall a nice stay, just needs to look as nice outside as inside.

    Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear of the issue that experienced with the dog mess in the garden, had we been made aware during your stay, we would have attended to resolve.

The property

This semi-detached cottage sits close to the centre of Windermere, just a short wander from a range of amenities and attractions, in the Lake District.

Delightfully presented with an enclosed rear garden, woodburning stove and off-road parking, Ananda House is a wonderful retreat for a family and their pet looking to spend some time in the Lakelands.

After parking up directly outside, head through the door into the lounge, where you can kick back beside the woodburner and choose a film from the Smart TV. Allow the designated chef to become acquainted in the kitchen, making use of the electric oven and ceramic hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and even a washer/dryer, perfect for keeping on top of your laundry.

Continue outside to the rear garden, where you can bask in the evening sun with a favourite tipple in hand, set in an enclosed space so your furry friend can safely explore.

Whisk away upstairs and make yourself comfortable in the bedrooms, complete with a super-king-size with Smart TV, a double and a 4’ 3” double, each neutrally presented.

Completing the interior is the shower room, ideal for freshening up before heading out the door.

Explore Windermere high street with its range of independent shops selling local produce, traditional butchers, restaurants and pubs, offering something for everyone.

Head to National Trust's Wray Castle, take a walk through Brockhole on Windermere, or learn about the area's rich history at the Lake District Visitor Centre.

Five miles away lies Ambleside, an idyllic town home to the Ambleside Roman Fort, a must-see for keen historians, whilst there is also the Bridge House and the beautiful Stock Ghyll Force worth adding to the itinerary. Escape to the Lake District with a relaxing stay at Ananda House.
