Garth Cottage - 4-Bedroom House with garden (1x Dog permitted)

Garth Cottage is a luxurious four-bedroom holiday cottage at Storrs Park, one mile from Bowness-on-Windermere. The house has been richly decorated and beautifully styled with opulent textures, bold colours, and high-end fittings to provide a fabulous self-catering holiday cottage for family or friends near Windermere and the Lake.

The ground floor offers plenty of space for all to enjoy, starting with the spacious lounge with gorgeous sofas and armchairs, a log fire, and bay doors leading out to the patio and the established gardens. Secondly, there is the garden room with a sliding door onto the patio and a cosy snug with a gas fire.

Planning a family meal? No problem! The large dining room and the large kitchen, with an Aga plus a gas hob, will allow you to cook up a superb family meal. The kitchen also offers a casual dining area with fabulous garden views—perfect for a morning cuppa.

Upstairs are the four beautiful bedrooms; there are three king-size double bedrooms (two of which are en-suite) and a twin with two single beds. Quality bedding and comfy beds make for a peaceful sleep.

Storrs Park is a small hamlet conveniently situated just a few minutes from Bowness-on-Windermere and within easy reach of several country pubs. All the bedrooms and living rooms benefit from beautiful views of the garden, the fells or both.We love the fabulous colours throughout the house, and the living room with the log burner is stunning!
