A short walking distance to both Windemere and Bowness. We had a lovely comfortable New Years stay. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Great location and the accommodation was well equipped for all our needs and spotlessly clean. It was a really warm, cosy house. We travelled end of October and you never know if the accommodation will be heated, this one certainly was. There was nothing to disappoint with Lingmell House and the welcome pack on arrival was much appreciated. Parking was on street, we travelled with 2 cars and never had an issue outside of the property. Having stayed in quite a few holiday properties in Bowness, this is one of the best.

It was let down by some maintenance issues mostly in the Bathroom, i.e. rusty radiator, extractor not working, constant water running into WC bowl and bath drain in need of clearing. The locking latch on the front door fell off on several occasions and the lock needs replacing as this is the only means of entrance to the house. When we arrived the key safe to the property was closed but not locked, an easy opportunity for a thief! We were disappointed that we had control of the central heating when the weather was miserable but as the week warmed up control was remotely removed from us and in the much cooler early mornings and late evenings we had no heating whatsoever. We have written the maintenance issues in the book provided and they will hopefully be rectified.
