    Mrs. A and I have been to Low Wood Bay quite a few times . . . . it's an absolutely lovely hotel, with lovely facilities and views (we've always had a Lake View Room) :emoticon-0105-wink:

    It's nice and central, too. The last time we went there we enjoyed 'fine dining' at The Samling next door, which was fantastic :emoticon-0100-smile

    Yeah Low Wood Bay. It’s a bit more than a hotel it occupies a whole little cove with lake access and a health and wellness centre at the back. It’s amazing.

    I could certainly see myself doing that in a few years mate. I’ve always said I want somewhere peaceful with a bit of land when the times right. If I could chuck views of the lakes in on top that’d be all the better.

    I shouldn’t imagine property with good land comes cheap on the banks of Windermere mind <laugh>

    Put it this way somebody bought a boat house near Windermere marina for £300,000 so the properties are mental

    That's my wife's lottery dream, but one of the million pound plus houses on the road between Bowness and Newby Bridge.
    We all should have a dream, mine is living long enough to see the lads win the Premier League<laugh>
