Ellerthwaite Place - With Hot Tub | Ridgestone
Summary:
Hosted by Ridgestone, Ellerthwaite Place is an exceptional three-bedroom, two-bathroom holiday home in Windermere, Lake District. Located on a quiet road, just minutes from the shops and restaurants of Windermere village, this property offers easy access to all the exciting attractions and natural beauty the Lake District has to offer. Its ideal location makes it the perfect base for both exploring the famous fells and enjoying the vibrant local scene.
The Space:
Ridgestone is pleased to host you at this three-bedroom, two-bathroom holiday home, which is situated in the iconic Lake District town of Windermere. The property features a convenient ground-floor bathroom and a main family bathroom upstairs that includes a walk-in shower in a wetroom style bathroom. All three bedrooms are equipped with fresh linens and towels, ensuring a comfortable stay for all guests.
The kitchen is a fully stocked, open-plan space with everything you need to prepare a delicious meal, including an electric oven with a four-ring hob, a large fridge freezer, and a full set of cooking utensils and glassware. For added convenience, plastic glassware is provided for guests to use while relaxing in the outdoor hot tub. The kitchen also leads directly to the back garden, creating a perfect indoor-outdoor living experience.
The private garden is a true highlight of this Windermere retreat. Guests are welcome to use the hot tub at their own convenience! We respectfully ask that guests do not use the hot tub between the hours of 11PM and 6AM. The outdoor space also features comfortable seating and a fire-pit chimney, perfect for unwinding under the stars. While logs are not provided, fuel can be easily purchased from nearby petrol stations.
Inside, the inviting living room at the front of the house is a cosy space for relaxation. It features a smart TV with streaming apps like Netflix, a comfortable sofa and armchair, and a classic log-burning fireplace for those tranquil evenings in.

The Neighborhood:
Windermere is where you will find an array of café’s, bars, restaurants and quirky independent shops. Closest of all is the well-known Home Ground café, renowned for being the best place to brunch in the whole of the Lake District.
Exploration and brunch over, it is then time to head down to Lake Windermere, found on the shores of equally iconic Bowness-on-Windermere, where you can again find more fantastic shopping and a thriving cafe and bar culture for you to enjoy. Rounding your afternoon off, take a leisurely walk along the glebe or, if you're feeling more adventurous a boat ride on one of the many lake cruisers, alternatively, hire a private boat for a more personal experience and live out any sea fairing pirate fantasies you might have had as a child.

The nearest bus stop is at the end of the road at the Windermere Library. Busses that stop at this particular stop travel on the routes 6, 555, 597, 599 and 755 – the most up to date routes can be found on the Stage Coach website.

Nice property in good location
Property was as expected but some areas needed attention. Kitchen floor hadn't been cleaned, the work tops felt sticky in places and there were discarded bottle tops under the fridge door and half used bags of chips, pizzas etc in the freezer. The lounge was comfy but smelled as though dogs had recently stayed there. The hot tub area is nice but the water needs cleaning.
Bedrooms were lovely and the bedding fresh.
Great location, short walk to shops, bars and restaurants.
I am a little disappointed at the overall cleanliness of the property but otherwise had an enjoyable stay

Home from home
What a fantastic cottage with everything we could have needed. Very homely and it was such a nice touch to arrive with the heating and lights on. Just a short walk into Windermere so was perfect for the whole family. The dog settled really well and our 6 year old son said it was the place place he'd ever stayed! The owner was super accommodating when we needed a late check-out due to the heavy snow. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back.

Perfect getaway
Long weekend with my partner, the house was incredible, much nicer than the photos do it justice. We had amazing weather and it was great to sit out in the garden with log burner on throughout the evenings and the hot tub was lovely to relax in.

In the heart of Windermere village, the property is delightful. The walk into windermere is minutes and 1.25 miles to bowness.

Lovely property, great location, nice stay
The property was lovely, the rooms were decorated to a good standard and were all of a good size. The house was very clean and tidy.
The beds were comfortable, and the bedding clean and of good quality.
Really enjoyed the stay and the location is superb.
A few things could be improved, there was only 1 towel a person supplied, when you have a hot tub you need more towels. The front garden was also very overgrown with brambles across the pathway, and the amount of cutlery supplied in the property wasn’t enough.
These were small things though and didn’t spoil the stay.
It’s worth noting the garden isn’t secure for dogs, even though the listing says it will be in a few weeks, it said that in Feb when we booked and it still isn’t secure now.
