This property has a natural water supply from a spring, and there is a step in the garden.. This luxury cottage has been furnished with care and attention to detail and by using the skills of local craftsmen, boasts charm and authentic individuality which is certain to appeal. Gowan Bank Farm Cottage is situated on a working farm set in 400 acres of picture perfect countryside. Nestled just outside the Lake District National Park hot spots of Windermere and Bowness, in the popular village of Ings. The farm itself dates back over 400 years and is still a working farm today. The outstanding setting allows for walkers of all abilities to find routes from the doorstep. A much enjoyed route in fair weather is the ½-mile stroll over the field track to the popular Watermill Inn and Brewery at Ings which brews its own beer. The village of Staveley is close by. This is also a popular area for cyclists with plentiful routes, as challenging as required and always offer outstanding scenery. Guests wanting to enjoy the mix of facilities available in Windermere and Bowness will not be disappointed. Independent retailers, pavement cafés and wine bars sit close by stunning Lake Windermere. Steamer rides along the lake offer a relaxing way in which to take in the views of this picturesque area.
Gowan Bank Farm Cottage is a delightful conversion of a former stable with slate floors, Herdwick wool carpeting, beams and internal stone walls all add to the attraction. The open plan living room offers a cosy wood burner, perfect for a romantic evening in. Fabulous uninterrupted views over the surrounding fells are particularly special from the bedroom windows. The modern en-suite bathroom offers a fabulous freestanding bath and high quality fixtures and fittings. There are beautiful views over the farm land and wood and out of the bedroom windows to the Langdales and Coniston Old Man. Beach 17 miles. Shop pub and restaurant ½ mile.

An ideal placing to enjoy the Lakes and enjoy accommodation just off the beaten track.
An ideal placing to enjoy the Lakes and enjoy accommodation just off the beaten track. To a cake lover Amanda’s sponge offering made us feel at home straight away. Amanda also gave some delicious eggs from the farm .Our dwelling for the week was ideal with good furnishings and after a day of exploration the heated floor welcomed us home. Amanda and George were excellent hosts and we particularly enjoyed the educational chats about the farming life and where to visit. We highly recommend a visit to the Lake District but if you want “icing on the cake “ we suggest a stay at Gowan Bank Farm.

We had an excellent stay at Gowan Bank Cottage - perfect hosts and very welcoming / comfortable accommodation which was ideally positioned to explore the southern lakes. A pub serving good beer and food just down the road was a bonus. We are already planning our return.

Had a lovely weekend at Gowan bank farm cottage . The cottage itself was modern and clean and the bed was very comfortable..It's in a perfect location to visit South lakes and although off the main road it feels very rural as its up a track. The hosts were very welcoming and the local pub did lovely food..would highly recommend.
