Great location and lovely place

As a family this house wa the best for elderly and disabled because the living space is in one level. Nice rap around garden but little used due to the weather but helpful to have a dryer to use.

Perfect!

With the dining table laid out with biscuits and cake, we felt very welcome. Photos do not do the garden justice, it is really lovely and completely private. The kitchen is extremely well equipped, and the beds were very comfortable. Large TV and wi-fi so home from home. If you need to park in Bowness don't leave it too late as spaces fill up quickly. We found it easier to walk in. I am 78 and by no means fit but I found it no problem. There is a frequent bus service from the bottom of the road if needed. We had a wonderful week and certainly hope to come back.

Enjoyed our stay, few issues. Advised off street parking but drive to short for average car and garage locked and filled with furniture. Water pressure very poor could not fill the bath at all as plug not sealing. Under Microwave very dirty and greecy. Cushions outside sodden wet,we dried and left inconsevatory. No control allowed on central heating.

Disappointing

The location was good and it had a nice garden. However, the bedding and the dust in the house let this house down. Very heavy old fashioned and cumbersome bedding with too many cushions just harbouring dust. Not ideal for a home being shared by so many people. We were a party of 4 for 4 days and 2 people had to leave after 2 days as they one of them had an asthma attack in the middle of the night. He was fine when he got out of the house so I can only put it down to the bedding or dust in the house. I hoovered and the hoover was also very smelly. The middle bedroom also has to hear very loud plumbing noises from the ensuite

Very clean and cozy property

The property was really beautiful and clean.. wifi was super slow don't bother login in. Kitchen is bit tight but has everything u need including BBQ in the garden(BBQ is available to use). If ur thinking to cook then plz take ur own frying pan there is one but thats super sticky. Garden is really pretty if u like privacy then that will be a perfect choice. Could do with little bit more plates and forks. Overall very beautiful and cozy cottage. We had a lovely time

Bungalow was ideally situated for us, we had a few minutes walking to get to either Bowness of Windermere. We know the area very well as we return every year, this location was the the best.

Ferienhaus in Windemere

Das Ferienhaus liegt sehr ruhig, dennoch nur ein Fußmarsch von 10-15min vom wunderschönen Städtchen Windemere entfernt. Das Haus ist für 6 Personen eingerichtet und gut ausgestattet. Der Garten ist sehr schön angelegt. Es hat an nichts gefehlt , nur leider war das Internet/Wifi zu schwach. Dieses Ferienhaus können wir in jedenfall weiterempfehlen

No complaints... great location and accommodation

Had a lovely few days at this property, was in good location close to Bowness and very quiet, car parking directly outside and garden safe and ideal for my dog. It was an extremely hot week and the garden offered areas of shade or sun. The accommodation provided all facilities including washer, dishwasher, en-suite etc. There is a steep hill to and from the accommodation so i needed to use my car as both my parents would have struggled to walk into Bowness but other than that, no complaints at all and hope to return. No hesitation in recommending the property to anyone looking for somewhere near to Bowness and a base to explore the Lakes

Bowness on Windermere

We had a wonderful holiday in the cottage, everything was just perfect, bowness on Windermere is a beautiful place lovely bars and restaurants, boat trips were brilliant, the cottage was a perfect location for visiting other areas in the Lake District, the hill up too the cottage is a bit steep only 120 yards though , taxi from the town cheap at £4 , we would definitely use this place again

Easter break

Excellent property had everything you needed for a week away. Host left us a lovely fresh cream sandwich cake and tea for arrival. Property between windermere Town and bowness Town both within walking distance however just one thing to mention there is quite a steep road up to the cottage which was a struggle for my mum so we had to bring the car down each time we went out but apart from that an excellent holiday home and I hope to book again.

Lovely Property and Location

Well equipped property and ample space for six adults to sleep eat and relax. Excellent location for walking into both Windermere and Bowness on Windermere and a great place from which to explore further into the Lake District. The kitchen is is not huge but is has everything you need to rustle up a meal, and a bonus fridge / freezer in the garage. We had a very wet week so the conservatory was another bonus as place to sit . As other reviews have mentioned there has been problems with a leaky roof but this had been addressed and it was nice that the owner did show up to check all was good with the repairs as we'd had a two day deluge. So all in all ideal accommodation to pass a week in the lakes whatever the weather. We would definitely recommend a stay here or stay ourselves again. Only downside was nothing to do with the property, but the VRBO app yet again not appearing to allow contact with the host without having to go through the torment of the VRBO chat/helpline .

Why they chose this property

It is close enough to the Village to be apart of it but far enough away to enjoy the Lake with no passers by the location is faboulous.
If you are looking for something larger then please try our other property - Storrs Lodge which is a detached property sleeping 8 situated in Bowness.
