Vacation rentals with lake access in Bowness-on-Windermere

Great accommodation in a quiet location with good access to the Eastern and Northern Fells. Super-clean and comfortable with everything that we needed for a self catering holiday in the Lake District. The hosts were lovely. Always available if required but very ‘light-touch’; the perfect balance. Couldn’t be better.

The apartment is great and very comfortable, and had everything we needed for a good stay. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed walks to the lakes and also to trails which can be accessed from the from the front door.

We had a wonderful & comfortable stay at Will & Giles's cottage. The cottage is beautiful with an amazing garden. Will & Giles were great hosts, with perfect and proactive communication. All the instructions were clear and information was great. Highly recommend!

Had a great time staying here with some friends for a long weekend in the Lake District. Really unique house, and easy access to great hikes.

Immaculate house in a really good location. Crown Inn was right on the doorstep and the food was excellent there. We could walk to coniston lake and do a lot of activities there and great walks nearby. One bathroom is just off the kitchen and the other on the second floor so we were a little surprised by that but only coz we looked at the photos more than read the description! It still worked just fine, we were 2 families of 3.

Beautiful cottage and grounds sat right next to Ullswater lake. From the cottage front door down to the lake is less than a 2 mins walk down the hill. However the property remains private and secluded within the beautiful gardens and stream on the property. As a group of 7, we really enjoyed cooking and eating on the property, which has a beautiful kitchen as well as the option of two different of outdoor cooking areas (the Argentinian bbq was put to use and being next to the outdoor dining area was a great place to spend the evening and socialise/unwind after a long day of hiking) The sauna and cold plunge helped to soothe and restore tired and achy leg muscles

Fantastic accommodation! Great location - a short walk (5-10 min) to Bowness town centre and with its own private parking space. Very peaceful (and private) surroundings with superb garden and outdoor decking with beautiful views over Lake Windermere. Property was very clean and comfortable, with great facilities (dishwasher, washing machine, log burning stove, very comfy beds) throughout. Hosts were extremely responsive and helpful, both before and during our stay. Can't recommend highly enough.

Stayed here as I was running an Ultra (the Lap) in the area with a start point not far away so this was an ideal location. What made this stay amazing was the property itself and Louise’s communication which was spot on, very friendly and welcoming. I felt at home when I didn’t need any distractions other than the event I was focussed on and this was 100% possible here. I even met some of the neighbours who were really lovely and helpful too. 100% recommend staying here ❤️

Great stay in central Bowness, very close to the town centre - about 2 mins walk. Clear instructions sent to find the apartment. Very clean and good for large groups of up to 6. Quick tip for getting there - go via Rayrigg road and not lake road as you can’t get through the very small through road.

We had a really great stay with our young baby. The apartment was really spacious and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for walking to Bowness. We would love to stay again.

Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

Only stayed one night before a wedding we were going to the next day but was perfect for us. Ray even accommodated us with the check out time which we were extremely grateful for. If we need to stay in the area again we’d try booking here again. 🙂

Beautiful place situated in the Main Street , however it’s lovely and quiet with parking nearby- both free on several streets and right next to the paid car park . There is on street 1 hr max parking directly outside the property so you can unload which was really handy . Various pubs / restaurants in the area and only approx 1 mile walk into Bowness . Communication with Jade was brilliant and we loved our PDF guide forwarded upon our arrival , which gave recommendations for eateries and things to do in the area as well as how to use the under floor heating and cinema projector for the TV which I loved . I particularly liked the kitchen hardware and breakfast bar - just lovely detail and touches . A beautiful , very clean and comfortable place which we throughly enjoyed coming back to and we will definitely be rebooking . Highly recommended . Thank you Jade x

We had a lovely 3 nights at The Stable ,the accommodation was very clean and good value.Situated in lovely surroundings for walking and touring.The local pubs offer great food.Maria could not have been more helpful and freindly

Accommodation and location were perfect for us. Highly recommend. Clean quiet and had everything we needed. Many thanks.

A fantastic stay in all respects. Efficient and highly accurate communication. Beautifully presented. The small basket of supplies on arrival was a lovely gesture and much appreciated. Highly recommended.

Perfect cottage for our family of 4 - cosy, well equipped, central & very clean. Just what we needed for a long weekend to continue our exploration of the Wainwrights. Keswick is a lovely and lively little town - surrounded by beautiful scenery, full of restaurants (very busy though so booking is highly recommended in most places) & great for shopping outdoor clothes/equipment!! Thank you Ade & Kerry - we will be back! The Robsons

We absolutely loved our stay on the farm. The location is easy to find and is beautiful, within a five minute walk to the shores of the lake. Jonathon was responsible, friendly and informative with his communication prior to arrival. The loft itself is absolutely beautiful inside and out and the photos don't do it justice. It's clean, spacious (2 of us) and has stunning views looking over the lake and the Old Man. There is a cafe on site and although we didn't have time to try any food, it looked lovely. We will definitely be revisiting this beautiful part of the lakes again and highly recommend the site. Our only criticism was the mattress, which wasn't to our taste and felt a little old.

We stayed at Simon and Belinda's place for a week and it was exactly what we needed. Fantastic location for walks and food. The Wainwright's Inn is only 0.2 miles away. Great food and local ales on your doorstep. The cottage is cosy, the kitchen is well equipped and the information provided was very thorough and useful. There are some books in the house they have prepared to show various walks and local recommendations. We did some of these walks and our 5 year old enjoyed every second! We took advantage of the leisure facilities at The Langdale. This was a great addition to the cottage! Really recommend if you want a place near to town locations, walks and local pubs/cafés/restaurants.

Spotless accommodation in the most beautiful location. The instructions to find the place were spot on. All towels, bedding, dishes and glasses were of a really high standard. We felt right at home. Being on a working farm we were up close n personal with the alpacas and lambs. It was fab! Close to a lovely pub we were able to walk there. Right on the water so we could swim and paddleboard. Loved everything about this place.

Booked this venue late, but it was everything listed on Airb&b. Had a great few days here, very clean, well laid out, plenty of games for the evening, in easy walking distance for everything and soo quiet. We both had a great time, and will consider this cottage again in the future.

We absolutely 💯 loved our short stay at Nursery end cottage. It was perfect. Warm, comfortable & cosy. It had everything you could think of. We were welcomed with a lovely welcome pack & thankyou card. The cottage is in a beautiful, peaceful area surrounded by sheep and hills. We chose to stay here as it wasn't far from Scafell pike. I would recommend to anyone to stay in this cottage and would definitely book it again. It's just beautiful. We only wish we could of stayed longer.

Clean property and only a couple of minutes walk to the centre of Keswick but surprisingly quiet location. As described and lovely having the 2 car parking spaces - one in the garage and 1 outside the garage. The property had everything we needed and we would highly recommend for a break away in Keswick. Great parks and walks within a couple Of minutes for the dogs.

Where to start. If you're looking at staying in Ambleside then look no further. Couldn't really ask for more, everything you need is right at your doorstep, yet just set back out of the centre that it's peaceful. The old wash house really has everything you would want. The courtyard outside is the perfect place to have your morning coffee or evening drink, with beautiful views and morning and evening sun. A charming little place where i am sure I will Stay again in the future.
