Gone Sailing nestles in a row of similar, south facing, self-catering cottages offering single story accommodation and commanding glorious views over Lake Windermere towards the Lakeland fells. In an elevated position on a grassy bank in front of the elegant former Priory Hotel, Gone sailing shares direct access to the lake, approached down a leafy wooded lane, which brings you right to the water’s edge and private jetty. Sitting between the popular Lakes villages of Windermere and Bowness, the property offers guests an ideal location to make the most of this much loved area. With a range of independent retailers, pavement cafés, pubs, restaurants and of course the Beatrix Potter attraction, there really is something for everyone close at hand. Walks from the door take in the breathtaking typically Lakeland scenery, though guests at Gone Sailing have the advantage of simply looking out of the window to enjoy the most picture perfect views.
