Here’s what recent guests said about their stay;

“We had an amazing stay, the location was perfect at the top of bowness and it’s easy to walk or get the bus into Windermere!
The overall house was so tidy & clean when we arrived.
We absolutely loved the house, it came with everything that was needed, the kitchen was brilliant & the areas to sit and chill out were also fab!!
We would 110% stay here again if we go back to bowness as it was perfect!!!” 🫶
