Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

My apartment has three bedrooms (two twin and one double) plus both a bathroom and a shower room. It is located on the first floor up a flight of stairs and is all-electric with storage heaters as the main heating source. It has a well equipped kitchen with washer-dryer, dishwasher, ceramic hob, double oven, microwave oven, slow-cooker, toaster etc. The L-shaped lounge has double opening doors to a balcony terrace which is perfect for catching any afternoon sunshine. It does have wi-fi facilities but no cable or satellite tv. There is a car parking space outside my garage, which is directly below the apartment. I also keep a stock of books and walking guides in the apartment which you are welcome to borrow during your stay. The apartment is in the centre of Bowness so a little bit of traffic noise and the delicious smells from the nearby fish and chip shop can occasionally drift over my balcony. The full double glazing, however, does keep most noise and smells out.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Bowness-on-Windermere is a very pretty and busy tourist village situated on the banks of Windermere in the magnificent Lake District National Park. It is the main terminal for cruises on Windermere lake and has numerous restaurants, pubs and tourist shops, two small supermarkets, a cinema and newsagents. The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction and the Old Laundry Theatre are almost next door to my apartment.

The nearby twin village of Windermere has a railway station with regular services to and from Manchester Airport and the adjacent bus station has services to Kendal, Barrow, Morecambe, Bowness, itself, and to Keswick, Ambleside, Grasmere, Hawkshead, Coniston and Great Langdale in the National Park. There is a nearby car ferry across the lake to the quiet countryside around Hawkshead.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

There are loads of things to do from Bowness. In just a few minutes walk from my apartment I can be in open countryside with spectacular views along the lake and to the high mountains in the centre of the Lake District. Walks to suit everyone from leisurely strolls to serious mountain challenges are just a short drive or bus ride away. Sailing, fishing, golf, cycling, mountain biking, pony-trekking, 4X4 driving and all sorts of other activities are available locally.

Wordsworth's Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount are, again, a short drive or open-top bus ride away. Beatrix Potters Hill Top farmhouse is in Near Sawrey can be reached by a ferry trip across Windermere from Bowness followed by a pretty walk, or a Mountain Goat bus ride.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

Please check our exchange preferences below.

I am a keen walker, as is my retired brother, who usually accompanies me on my holidays. I am pretty flexible over the dates when potential exchangers can use my apartment. In the UK, we prefer to go to hilly areas and areas with lots of coastal footpaths. In Europe, we prefer places in the Alps and Pyrenees, but will consider any scenically attractive areas.

Please note that I have already arranged my exchanges in Europe for summer 2017. I am still open to arranging exchanges in the British Isles.
