Set 1.1 km from World of Beatrix Potter, Stockghyll Cottage offers 4-star accommodation in Bowness-on-Windermere and has a private beach area. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. Guests can enjoy garden views.

Location is superb as it's right opposite the Jetty Museum and the Bus Stop for 508 to Ullswater/Penrith in the summer. 30-40 min walk from Windermere station (or 20 min from the Bowness Pier) but it was pleasant! There's a nice small waterfall in their garden that we can enjoy. Hosts Adrian, Heather and Hamish (the dog) were extremely hospitable and Adrian even suggested to me some routes for hiking. I could see some hints of Windermere from the room window which was really nice. A variety of options for breakfast and they even have homemade jams and marmalade!

    The cottage is absolutely tremendous. We had seen the photos but when we upstairs we were amazed. Everything is dead easy, the place was clean. Takes 2 minutes in the car or you can walk to bowness in 10 minutes. And the hot tub is great! The hosts also sent a list of places to eat and things to do which was very useful, we have been to bowness numerous times but thanks to our hosts we discovered orrest head which was great. Definitely stay here, 10/10!

    Excellent stay, this little cottage has been done up to an exceptional standard, the height of luxury, wish we could have stayed longer. The hot tub is excellent, but please provide a step up and down for those less mobile and consider a pergola or some shelter. So peaceful at night in the hot tub, listening to nothing.

    Home from home experience. The cottage is decorated with love and everything is well thought out. It's cosy, comfortable and exactly what we needed as a family. The location was fab, a short drive from town or a nice walk. The garden was lush, with a lake view and occasional visits from the wildlife. My youngest didn't want to come home.
