伊威特度假屋

We purchased Ivythwaite Lodge and Cottages in September 2017 after careers as teachers in the south of England. We have our own living quarters within the Lodge. We are proud to offer a traditional Lakeland cottage experience to guests from all around the world. Whether the reason for your visit is to take part in all (or some!) of the activities that the beautiful Lake District offers, or whether it is to relax and enjoy the scenery, we hope to welcome you to our Lodge and help you to make the most of your visit. We have a sustainability charter and ask our guests to take a number of steps to limit the environmental impact of their stay with us. We are a climate positive organisation working with Ecologi, an environmental organisation which fund climate projects. We are proud to promote the stunning dark skies of the Lake District and have resources and equipment to help our guests with their stargazing. At Ivythwaite Lodge and Cottages, we guarantee a warm Lake District welcome.

Abigail and Andrew offer a warm welcome to Ivythwaite Cottages, situated in the grounds of a traditional Lakeland stone and flint guest house in beautiful Windermere. The cottages offer contemporary accommodation. The Nook is a one bedroom semi-detached house featuring a living room, dining kitchen, double bedroom, bathroom and private outside terrace area. The Cranny is a studio apartment featuring a seating area, kitchenette, separate bathroom and outside seating area. Both have Sky TV, including full sport and movie package, and free WiFi. We are ideally located on a quiet street just off the road between Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere. Both villages are within ten minutes’ walk of the cottages, with plenty of restaurants, pubs and shops. As well as on street parking, we offer a private car park with EV charge point at the rear of the cottages. The cottages are let on a self-catering basis. We pride ourselves on our hospitality, so, for an additional cost paid locally, we offer a large breakfast menu, served in our elegant dining room warmed in the winter months by a log burner.

We encourage our guests to take advantage of the stunning walks available locally. We have selected five local walks which all start at Ivythwaite Cottages. Choose from lakeside strolls and uphill walks to panoramic viewpoints across Lake Windermere. All walks have full PDF guides and OS maps to ensure you keep on the right track. We have laminated copies for guests to borrow should they prefer. We have produced a guide outlining a classic sightseeing day out in the Lake District. It takes in the beautiful village of Grasmere where you can visit Dove Cottage, home to William Wordsworth, and taste some fantastic Grasmere gingerbread. Next is the Lakeland town of Keswick, in the shadow of Skiddaw moutnain to its north, with its amazing pencil museum and the atmospheric Castlerigg Stone Circle. The route back to Windermere via the A592 Kirkstone Pass is possibly the most spectacular drive in England. It follows the shore of Ullswater before climbing through the fells at a height of almost 1500ft. The views of Lake WIndermere are truly a sight to behold. There are many great bars and restaurants within walking distance of Ivythwaite Cottages - something for all tastes.
