Fabulous house on three floors with plenty of space, well equipped and roadside parking. Lovely garden area to enjoy the sunshine and perfectly placed to walk into Bowness. The oven was a bit tricky to get working but otherwise we couldn't fault it. Seven mature adults celebrating a milestone birthday and suited all our needs.

Comfortable, well maintained, well equipped and in a great location with plenty of places to visit close by or within a relatively short drive. Windermere and Bowness provide all of your likely shopping requirements, plus restaurants offering something for everyone, from fish and chips to tapas. The property has a pleasant outside area for sitting in, although being close to a main road, there is quite a bit of traffic noise. Despite this, it's not really a game changer.

Excellent location. House was warm, larger than we actually needed, didn't use top floor. Easy parking due to permit in nearby car park. Great for travel, bus and railway stations close by.

Great - space for all to chill, hot tub, close to the centre so could walk everywhere, decor very well thought through and of high quality. The preparation is letting one fabulous rental house down. Toilet roll - small amount left in roll and no replacement. We had to go shopping on day 2. No bread knife. Bought lovely local craft bread and had to butcher it into chunks. There’s something odd about the bed in the attic. Many people left same feedback in guest book but not been improved. If they tell you to bring your own loo roll then you know in advance then I’d have been ok with that.

The house was lovely and was perfect for a family stay. We intended to spend time together and the pool & hot tub were a perfect addition to relaxing break away. The views were stunning. There were a couple of things that we’d point out though. In the bunk room there was what looked like some damp in the corner. We didn’t use it as didn’t need to but would be wary of it had we used it. The other thing was the pool. The kids totally enjoyed it but the tiles that were missing could quite easily have caused some injury, In fact one of the adults grazed their leg on the inner step from some missing tiles. If those couple of things were sorted it’d be perfect. It obviously doesn’t stop people booking though as the availability is limited.

Accommodation was fine except for a few miner details. Bedroom light switch didn't work, no instructions for electric oven, as we are on gas. No instructions for television. Crack in ceiling looked precarious. Location excellent.

Relax in a cosy holiday lodge or lakeside cottage

Located in scenic South Lakeland in the Lake District, on the banks of Englands largest lake, the town of Windermere is a popular holiday destination.

The Lake District is one of the UK’s most beautiful regions. Spread across hundreds of square miles in northern England, it's a blissful collection of lakes, forests, and mountains. It's provided inspiration to writers such as William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, and is the perfect setting for a stay in one of its many log cabins and waterside cottages for your holiday accommodation. Among the area's highlights is the town of Windermere, named after the enormous nearby natural lake, a tranquil haven in itself.

A range of water sports are available to suit everyone, including boating and fishing, and the area offers plenty for nature lovers and bird watchers. The beautiful surrounding landscape is also perfect for hiking, walking and mountain biking.
