About Gildabrook Cottage

Gildabrook Cottage keeps its rooms separate, which is worth knowing if you like a bit of distance between cooking, eating and sitting down. The kitchen and dining room are their own spaces, and the sitting room has radiators and a log effect electric stove for the evenings. Sleeping arrangements run to a double, a twin and a single that suits a child.

Washing is done in a wet room with a walk-in shower, basin and WC, a layout that is easier on anyone who finds a bath awkward to climb into. A travel cot and highchair are included, as are bed linen and towels, and fuel and power are covered by the rent, so there is nothing to feed or top up while you are there.

The kitchen has a gas oven and hob, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge/freezer and microwave, enough to cook properly rather than reheat. There is a Smart TV and WiFi when the weather turns. Outside, the front patio is enclosed and furnished, a useful thing in Bowness-on-Windermere where private outdoor space is not a given. Off-road parking takes one car and there is secure bike storage, which makes a cycling trip considerably less stressful. One well behaved dog is welcome.
