Craig Cottage, Windermere
Meet the Owners
Craig Cottage, Windermere Craig Cottage is a stylish Victorian home in Bowness-on-Windermere, and an ideal base for friends and families to explore the Lake District. The beautifully renovated cottage is spread over two floors, with a south-facing garden, and private parking space. Craig Cottage is just a few minutes walk from the restaurants, cafes, and bars of Bowness and is within easy reach of Lake Windermere. We caught up with the owners of Craig Cottage, to find out more about their journey from buying a holiday cottage, working with us at Lakelovers, and bringing their property to the lettings market.
Tell us about your choice of Craig Cottage. Was it the location, or other factors, that made you choose it?
work to do, and how did that go for you, if you were living away from the Lakes?
Craig Cottage is the ideal destination for families looking to enjoy the best the Lake District has to offer. Central village location, off-street parking, good sized bedrooms, and lots of character with Lakeland stone and original features throughout.
We undertook an extensive refurbishment of Craig Cottage to bring it up to a high standard. We kept original features such as the fireplace, and stone flooring but upgraded the bathroom, living room, and bedrooms.
Did you always think of Craig Cottage as an investment holiday let?
We love your interior design! Did you do that yourselves or did you have an interior designer?
Craig Cottage is primarily a holiday let, but our agreement with Lakelovers gives us the flexibility to stay there ourselves from time to time.
Thanks! Not being local, we were fortunate to have a great local team. Gemma Dawe (Lake District Relocation) with a great understanding of what prospective guests are looking
