Truly a special place for you to spend your holiday. 200 metres from your doorstep you can travel across the lake by ferry, on foot or by car, to experience the beauty of Claiff Heights, which offers spectacular views up and down the lake and beyond. The traditional picturesque villages of Hawkshead, with it's numerous traditional pubs and tearooms and Sawrey, the home of Beatrix Potter, are only a short car or bus journey away. Within a mile of the Marina is the popular village of Bowness, which has a variety of shops, restaurants and hostelries. The villages of Windermere and Ambleside are a little beyond here and the world-renowned dramatic scenery of the Langdale valley is only a short drive away.
