Description
Ingle Burrow is a delightful picture-postcard cottage just a short stroll from the centre of Windermere at the heart of the Lake District.
Tastefully decorated in a blend of the contemporary and the traditional, this charming terraced cottage is dog friendly and is the perfect base for a family holiday in the Lake District whatever the time of year.
This Victorian cottage is built from the local stone and has accommodation across three floors. Everything is finished to the highest standard creating a warm and cosy feel to this traditional home-from-home cottage. The living room is bright and welcoming with squashy sofas around the open fire. There's also a dining area with a wood burning stove, ideal for those chilly evenings when you're not eating outside, and a fully equipped dining kitchen.
There are two first-floor bedrooms, both with an en-suite shower room, one master double bedroom with an elegant metal bedstead, TV and a also a single bedroom.
On the second floor there's a zip and link super king size bed which can be converted to twin beds if required, with a pine washstand and some delightful views out across the open countryside. Finally, there's the period-style family bathroom with a shower over the bathtub, pedestal sink and WC.
The secure paved garden is a glorious sun trap, making it the ideal place for outdoor dining or simply to relax after a busy day sightseeing or walking in the Lakes - your dogs will love it too! With all the amenities of Windermere on the doorstep, you can leave your cars in the two off road parking spaces provided.
Ingle Burrow is in one of the most privileged locations in the Lake District, just a few minutes from the lively and vibrant villages of Windermere and Bowness on the shores of Lake Windermere. From quirky independent shops to traditional inns and pubs, the cobbled streets play host to everything from tapas bars to local craft ales and Cartmel lamb at the Mason's Arms. Children (and adults too!) will love Beatrix Potter World or exploring the islands of Swallows and Amazons country on a steamer cruise. The Lakes Aquarium features sharks and reptiles, and the Lakeland Motor Museum has a superb collection of vintage and classic cars. Don't miss a trip on the picturesque Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway or the mock-Gothic splendour of Wray Castle.
There are good transport links from Windermere to the North Lakes, or take a drive over the magnificent Kirkstone pass to Derwentwater, Keswick, Grasmere and Ullswater for an exploration of Wordsworth country. Everywhere you go there are world-class walks and cycling routes with outstanding views, and beautiful Morecambe Bay is within easy reach for a picnic on the beach.
With its first-class accommodation, Ingle Burrow is an ideal base for a relaxing family or friends holiday any time of year, whether you want to cruise the Lakes on a glorious summer's day or enjoy Christmas in Lakeland.

What guests are saying
Perfect location in the centre of Windermere but as the terraced house has thick walls and good double glazing, its very quiet inside.
Parking at the rear is a bonus but can be tricky to manoeuvre the car from the narrow lane through the gates if you have a long car. My Ford Puma was OK but an estate car or Range would struggle. Internally, it was a very warm, comfortable, homely house with everything needed for self catering. Large fridge and freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer plys a good drying area by the back door and in the utility / WC room. Beds were extremely comfortable as were the sofas. (I'm missing the armchair chair in the lounge window!!) High ceilings make it very roomy for 5. The ensuites in 2 bedrooms and the separate bathroom next to the loft bedroom (so like an ensuite) are great for privacy. The only negative is that the lounge TV is a smart TV without terrestrial channels or freeview (no BBC, ITV, C4, C5) and only BBC iPlayer was uploaded. It worked with apps such as Netflix but no others could be uploaded. I couldn't link my Samsung tablet to it as the TV was too old to accept it! The weather was wet and stormy so this was an issue for us. I would give this cottage 9/10 due to the TV issue. We are already looking when we can return in a year or so. A fabulous holiday cottage
We had lovely week at Ingles Burrows, loved the decor and it ticked all our box's which there are many.
Look forward to returning.
A great place to stay very close to the centre of Windermere.
Easy to access by road and car parking OK at the back. Easy access to bus routes at the end of the road to get to other places in the Lake District. Property was as described. Lots of space. Good facilities. Perfect. Just what was wanted. I would stay there again.
