A secluded period holiday cottage situated at Storrs Park, south of the village of Bowness and close to the marina.

THE COTTAGE
Full of character and tastefully furnished throughout, Gavel Cottage offers a comfortable holiday retreat located to the south of the village of Bowness with views across parkland towards the Lake. The cottage is situated in a secluded position yet conveniently placed for the Hawkshead Ferry point and is approximately one mile from the village centre.

The accommodation has the benefit of gas central heating and comprises:

To the ground floor; entrance hall with cloaks stand, fridge freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and plenty of space for cloaks, wellies and drying outdoor gear. The open plan living area includes a snug sitting area having an open fireplace, two sofas and matching footstool, coffee table, remote control TV and DVD, radio/CD player and pay phone. A timber open tread stairway leads to the first floor. The dining area has a pine dining table with six matching chairs, pine dresser rack and small occasional table. Completing the ground floor area is the kitchen fitted with a comprehensive range of units incorporating a split-level electric oven and four ring ceramic hob with extractor above, microwave and dishwasher. Overall the kitchen area is well equipped and ideal for entertaining whilst enjoying your holiday and includes an ample range of crockery, cutlery, glassware and cookware.

To the first floor is a small landing area giving access to the double bedroom having a double bed, bedside cabinets, dressing table, chest of drawers, built in wardrobe, trouser press and colour T.V. The twin room provides two single beds, bedside cabinet, fitted dressing table, chest of drawers and wardrobe and colour T.V. Guests should note that in addition to these two bedrooms there are two single inflatable rubber mattresses, which can provide additional sleeping facilities in the living area. However, we recommend that this facility would only be ideal for children.

The recently renovated bathroom is found to be a good sized room with a traditional style modern suite comprising panelled bath, fully tiled shower cubicle, pedestal wash hand basin and a low flush w.c. There are ample airing/drying facilities including a heated towel rail and airing cupboard.

Outside guests can enjoy lovely spacious gardens, which are located over-looking the cottage to the front and have views towards the Lake. They are found to be mainly lawned with a barbecue area and large timber sun house complete with a range of garden furniture and a gas barbeque. A private parking area is provided for one vehicle.

Whilst a guest at Gavel Cottage, you will be able to take advantage of our membership of the Parklands Country Club (located to the rear of the Burnside Hotel). Your holiday tariff includes access to the club where you will be able to freely indulge in the use of the swimming pool, which includes a children’s pool area and Jacuzzi together with sauna and menthol steam room. The club also offers a full range of facilities (for which an individual charge may be made) including a fully equipped gymnasium, squash courts, solarium and beauticians together with a club lounge and bar overlooking the pool area and two full sized snooker tables.

Pets welcome by prior arrangement only.
