Walkable area

Guests say this area is easy to get around.
The Hollies is a 5 bedroomed quirky & cosy Victorian house, between villages of Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere. Storm and Toby took over the property at the beginning of 2023 and have re-vammped the space to their unique approach.

The soft furnishings fuse old and new in a tasteful way using linen, velvet and other textiles to create a vintage/modern approach. The open plan kitchen/dining room accomadates ten people at the table. The living room is home to a log burner for cosy nights in.

The space
The Hollies enters into a hall, with stairs leading up to four of the five bedrooms, the main sitting area fitted with a smart television, 3x comfortable sofas and a fire place. Leading off the Sitting area is the formal dinning room. The Hollies provides a large kitchen/dinning room on the ground floor which opens up to the courtyard area, perfect for socialising around the Aga while cooking. Off the kitchen/dinning area, a ground floor double bedroom (can also be a twin room) with ensuite is situated. There is a decent size courtyard with a herb garden, outdoor table and chairs.
The first floor provides two double bedrooms, the master with an ensuite including a bath. The second double room also had a ensuite. There is a bunk room with an ensuite, and a twin room which can share the stand alone large bathroom with a large corner soaking bathtab, great size to relax in after a long day walking, and also can fit plenty of kids.

Other things to note
We do not allow dogs.

If you are booking the property for less the ten persons, we offer discounted rates, and we treat the rooms as doubles, or twins, restricting access to other bedrooms which is reflected in price.

Neighbourhood highlights

Bowness-on-Windermere is a sprawling tourist town on the shore of Windermere, about halfway along the 10.5 mile length of the lake between Waterhead at the North end, and Lakeside at the South end. It developed after the opening of the railway line from Oxenholme and Kendal to Windermere in 1847. Bowness was the nearest accessible point on the lake.

Now the Lake District’s most popular visitor destination, Bowness-on-Windermere is busy for much of the year. People come to enjoy the lake for sailing and watersports, or just to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the area and the town’s delightful setting.
