Brackenthwaite

Close to a golf course, this pet-friendly cottage brings it all within reach. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 14-minute walk to Windermere Jetty Museum of Boats, Steam and Stories, or easily tackle the quick 3-minute drive to Lake Windermere. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Windermere Station, a short 13-minute walk away.

The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator and a dishwasher, as well as a microwave, cookware, and a toaster. And because there's a washing machine, you can go a bit lighter on your packing. Other amenities at this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental include heating and wardrobe or closet.
