    This property is very spacious and has every amenity you could need. The outdoor heater on the balcony. The three terraces to capture the sun at every part of the day. The thoughtful goody bag. The two boot rooms with lots of storage space and the well stocked cleaning products. The decor and bedrooms were all well thought out and had plenty storage for bags on top of the wardrobes or in the walk in wardrobe in the triple room. It offers a true home from home in a good location, only a short wander into the hub of shops, restaurants and cafes

    Home from Home. Everything you need. Attentive and helpful host. Spacious, well laid out. Quiet location. My octogenarian parents loved it. Ideal for accessing both Bowness and Windermere. Upside down house, so bedrooms are cool in the summer 😎. 0.7 miles to the The Ro Hotel (Wedding Venue) by car if anyone needs to know that. Would definitely stay here again. ❤️

    Open feel and lots of natural light with balcony. A high standard of finish to the decor and kitchen facilities, and Lake District theme to pictures etc which was a nice touch. It’s in a convenient location for Windermere village and Bowness, with a walk to either being approximately 10 - 15 minutes dependent upon walking speed.

    Nothing. Totally awesome.

    Amazing and stunning property. Everything is well thought out from more than adequate towels, to dog treats, reading glasses, toothbrush, toothpaste and body wash. We particularly like the fact that the house was warmed up waiting for our arrival. Host was kind enough to not charge us for the soap dispenser that we accidentally broke.

    For us it was a bit far out of the towns although it was bang in the middle of Windemere and Bon'ess but a bit of a walk at the end of the night. (15 mins, feels longer when you've walking 3 hours before lol) Toilets all downstairs where the bedrooms are. None upstairs. We had been thinking of bringing my elderly mother in law, this would not of worked for her. Also the garden is not fully gated off for your dog. But not a big deal. But if you had a dog that wasn't good on recall you would have to put it on a lead out in garden. A few cobwebs on the windows of the kitchen and the balcony could've done with another clean but I would imagine its very hard to keep it clean. Overall though the house was lovely. I would recommend it.

    Place is lovely and the welcome basket was a life saver (toothpaste lol) and a lovely thing to do. Especially the wee things for the dog. The wee blanket and bowl. The house is very comfortable and lovely bedrooms. Everything was thought about. Right down to coat hangers (my pet hate) and enough towels. The water in the fridge was another very nice touch. Lovely home away from home. The host was great responded to me quickly and no problems at all.

    2 relatively minor points: 1. The balcony was a little dirty (surprising considering the rest of the house was sparkling clean) 2. The house was a bit on the expensive side (considering the size)

    Lovely, cute and clean house Great host - very responsive on WhatsApp, messaged me before check in with a list of things to do and instructions on how to access the house. When I casually asked if there was any laundry detergent and there wasn't, she immediately ordered some for us, which was much appreciated. Left a bag of goodies for us at check-in. Location is great - short walk from Windermere train station and close to Bowness as well House is well furnished and modern (kitchen is particularly modern and well stocked) Rooms are a reasonable size - wouldn't call them big, but comfortable

    Extremely comfortable and well furnished with modern appliances, comfortable chairs/sofas/beds, beautiful artwork on the walls, an amazing kitchen… we are a family of 5 and the space was perfect for us! Location-wise, the property is an easy walk into Bowness in one direction and Windermere in the other - so perfect for us as we like walking! Easy parking and a great, very responsive host!

    We loved all of it - maybe some garden TLC bits would have been enjoyed if the weather was sunny

    Location is excellent - walking distance to Windermere and Bowness. The property was immaculately clean and finished to a high standard quality. The hosts were quick to respond and reach out to ensure we had everything needed. The facilities provided for the two young children were so helpful. All the small touches made our stay so delightful. Enjoyed reading on the balcony with the views.
