Silver Howe is a well-regarded property with guests praising its spaciousness, comfortable beds, and excellent location close to Bowness-On-Windermere. The property's kitchen is highlighted as well-equipped, and the garden is appreciated for its beauty. While some guests mention issues with cleaning and maintenance, the overall sentiment is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
Reviews indicate a mix of experiences regarding cleanliness. Some guests found the property to be clean and tidy, while others noted issues with cobwebs, dirty ovens, and floors. The inconsistency leads to a score above average, as the majority did not report severe problems.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to local shops and attractions, with many guests appreciating the short walk to the town centre. The quiet setting is also noted positively, although some mention the challenge of a hilly approach for those with mobility issues.
Guests generally find the beds comfortable and the house warm, contributing to a good night's sleep. However, some guests reported uncomfortable sofas and a dark atmosphere in certain rooms, slightly lowering the score.
Facilities are well-received, with a well-stocked kitchen and en-suite bedrooms. However, several reviews mention issues with maintenance such as a saggy bed, a leaky freezer, and a problematic dishwasher. These concerns affect the score, reflecting the need for attention to these areas.
Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.
Silver Howe is a sumptuous three bedroomed house hidden away from the bustle of Bowness. On arrival you’ll discover a beautiful, architect designed Lakeland home nestled into a rocky outcrop surrounded by mature trees - this is the perfect holiday cottage for both family and friends.
Created to be as social a space as possible, with a generously sized lounge that opens out onto a veranda and the garden. A large well equipped kitchen and an airy conservatory dining space. Sleeping six guests over three bedrooms including two with ensuite bathrooms, Silver Howe has an array of additional features; an grand hallway with an oak staircase, several patios, beautiful gardens and private parking.
Silver Howe is the perfect place from which to experience all that the Lake District has to offer from country walking to the World of Beatrix Potter, cycling to sailing, along with great food, drink and a fabulous atmosphere.
The vibrant twin towns of Bowness and Windermere hold enduring appeal for visitors to the Lake District National Park, with each providing a range of nearby attractions, amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes. A variety of boat trips and boat hire are available from Windermere Lake Cruises in Bowness to Brockhole, Ambleside and Lakeside (at the southern end of the lake where the Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway are situated). The World of Beatrix Potter attraction and the Old Laundry theatre are 1.5 miles away. Orrest Head, where Alfred Wainwright was inspired to write his series of iconic guidebooks, is a 30-minute walk to enjoy the spectacular panorama of far-reaching views over the lake and surrounding fells. Brockhole, which offers high wire tree top experiences, is less than two miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck are a short drive away. There are also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake. The area is ideally situated for exploring all that this region has to offer, whether by foot, bike, car, railway or bus; and is within easy reach of attractions such as the spectacular Langdales, Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top House at Far Sawrey, Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park, with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking and “Go-Ape” adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike.
