Heather Mere Cottage - sleeps 4 in newly renovated property
Heather Mere Cottage is a stylish holiday cottage, offering elegant accommodation and a real slice of luxury in the beating heart of popular Bowness-on-Windermere. The plush decors have been carefully considered and every effort has been made to ensure your stay in this sophisticated home is one to remember.
Entering through the neat courtyard, you’ll be welcomed into the custom built dining kitchen, featuring an excellent range of Neff appliances and the modern day conveniences of a Quooker boiling water tap and Nespresso coffee machine. A circular dining table sits opposite the kitchen, offering comfortable seating for four. It’s the ideal place to embrace the well equipped kitchen, or perfect for an evening of board games.
Beyond the kitchen but still within the airy and spacious open plan living area, you’ll the find the equally opulent lounge - home to the feature log burning stove and deep cushioned sofas. Whether you’ve had a day exploring the nearby fells, or spent the afternoon mooching around the shops, this space is the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Upstairs, there’s a king-sized bedroom (that can be a twin) and a second double bedroom, both tastefully decorated with TV’s and offering what might be described as hotel-like accommodation. The star of the show must be the bathroom. A walk in rainfall shower sits to your left, while the striking roll top bath immediately draws your attention. Not only can you enjoy some ‘me time’ in this tranquil haven, but the built in TV also means you can catch up on your favourite soaps in peace!
To the rear of the property you’ll find a well-kept elevated patio, ideal for a morning cuppa or an evening tipple. Despite this property being just minutes from the popular World of Beatrix Potter attraction and the famous lake, Windermere, Heather Mere Cottage feels private and secluded.

Excellent cottage, perfect family holiday!
We had a wonderful stay with Tarn & Fell Escapes. Nothing was too much trouble, offering highchairs/cots for our children. The cottage was beautiful, every detail thought of and very clean! We will definitely book with Tarn and Fell Escapes again! Thank you!

Amazing
We booked this for our staff team at Pebble Healthcare to thank them for their amazing work and the feedback from them was phenomenal. The property itself was beautiful and ever little detail had been thought of.
The whole place was spotlessly gleaming.
The service we received excelled anything we could have hoped for.
The location itself is excellent too. We could not find a single thing to improve on. Thank you so much Tarn and Fell, you will forever be our go to.

Wonderful cottage in the perfect location.
Heather Mere cottage is an absolute gem. It felt like being in a high end hotel with the addition of having your own home within it.
Ross and the team were very helpful and approachable. The provision of milk, tea, coffee etc made life very easy on arrival and there were little treats which were a lovely surprise, as was the provision of dog bowls etc for our little pooch.
The toiletries in the bathroom were excellent.
It is a short 5 minute walk down into Bowness and its water front which is stunning and provides lots of great eateries for anything from breakfast to dinner. You should try the local ice cream!
All in all we had a fabulous stay and would certainly book through Tarn and Fell again.
Stunning modern and clean property in the heart of the Lake District. The property had everything you needed and more, with a fantastic attention to detail, from the visual cottage guide book and the unique cottage labels on toiletries, tea & coffee, etc. A real gem of a place to stay. Also communication with the host was first class.
