Great position in a really busy tourist location, central to the south lake’s thoroughfares given the weekend when we stayed leave early for sightseeing. Residence was a lot grander than we thought, booking in very easy with comprehensive instructions. Although only 2 of us it can easily accommodate families. Very clean lots of normal home comforts dishwasher, washing machine etc. 11 out 10. Thank you

Superb location and a good sized property with all the mod-cons. We found the property was well located and in easy walking distance of Windermere (the lake) and a 20 min walk from Windermere (the town). Just a 2 minute walk to all the amenities in Bowness, with a great choice of restaurants cafes & bars. The property was spacious, good sized bedrooms with comfy beds, big living area, and well appointed spacious kitchen. Parking was a little tight but with care could get out Q5 in and out no problem. Smaller cars will be no issue. Quiet location and a couple of mins from all the bus stops to other towns/villages and walks. We’d come back here for sure
