Central Bowness - Hot Tub, Lake Views & Cinema
The location is fantastic and there is another route if you dont fancy the very steep hill up to the property. There was enough space for all of us. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool table and hot tub as the weather was intermittent!! There was a small issue with the heating which the hosts responded to immediately. A great central base for exploring.

Wythop School, Lake District
Great host and a lovely property. Perfect for our family getaway. Kim was very helpful with local recommendations. The property had everything we needed and simple instructions so nothing was a hassle.

The Hayloft - a cottage on our Lake District farm
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.

Mountain Cottage - Quirky at it's best
I can’t recommend Will and Giles’ place enough. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. The information sent prior to arrival was brilliant, the cottage was much bigger than we expected and it’s in an amazing location right by Coniston. The place was spotless and had some lovely touches. We will be back!

Great family house for 6, parking , accepts 1 dog
We were four separate, senior girlfriends and had enough room and enjoyed the location and easy communication with Elisabeth. We had an issue that Elizabeth helped us to resolve. The location is wonderful for enjoying the town or walking straight from the house to and around the lake, driving or walking to Castlerigg stone circle or heading out on an adventure which we did when we drove to Buttermere and then onto St. Bee’s through the windy country roads! The home had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. We would have enjoyed a higher quality set of linens in the bedrooms and bath towels as well but for a four night stay everything was fine. I recommend staying at Elisabeth’s home in Keswick.

⭐️⭐️Comfortable & spacious Home, Coniston centre⭐️⭐️
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.

The Retreat Cottage, Garden & Parking
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.

6* Lux 3 bed Cottage Private Island lake district
We enjoyed a long weekend at Thomas Gray with 4 adults and a dog. We were blessed with glorious sunshine so spent most of the time out and about. There are beautiful walks nearby with the dog. The local picnic spot has a cafe open Fri, sat, sun, great for brekky & a cuppa! Jerry & the team were very responsive.

Howgill Self Catering Apartment
Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

Admiral's Nest (Central Bowness)
My friend and I stayed here for the first time this May, and we were both blown away at how amazing the property is. It was extremely clean, warm and very inviting, and it was great to have an outdoor seating area which was very private and surprisingly quiet considering that we were in the heart of Bowness. The property is very convenient for everything that you need, and Peter is extremely knowledgeable about anything that you need to know. Exceptional stay and we will recommend ADMIRAL'S NEST to all friends and family. This is the only place that I will stay now in Bowness. Thank you Peter .

Entire ground floor accessible apartment
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. 🙂

Central Rafters - a unique getaway - Windermere
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

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

Scafell View Apartment, Wasdale, The Lake District
Sharon's place is fab really good location with easy parking. if you want to explore Wasdale then it is perfect location. The flat is well set up, warm and with fab views of the fells. The lake beaches are 5 mins away by car or a bit longer by foot. The wildlife is super loads of birds. Wasdale head is a bit further and easy access to Scarfell, Great Gable and styhead pass over to Borrowdale. There is a small shop with essentials and some walking gear at Wasdale head, plus a pub with good local Ale. I can also recommend the Alpaca trekking at Wasdale Alpacas. We have loads still to explore in Wasdale so will hopefully return.

Ground floor apartment with parking in town centre
Beautiful apartment Helen’s instructions were really clear & check in was seamless. Didn’t really get to appreciate the surrounding area except for the stunning views. This was a brief visit as our son was competing in the Lakes Ultramarathon. We were very grateful for the welcome hamper this allowed him to refuel post race. We will definitely be back ❤️

Boutique Property, Strawberry Cottage...Keswick
Wonderful stay at Strawberry Cottage. Location was amazing so we could make the most of everything Keswick has to offer. Very homely cottage, very comfy beds and lots of local information available. Beautifully decorated too!

Swallows & Amazons cottage - Loft
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.

Luxury 4 Star Cosy Lakeland Cottage
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.

Wasdale Head Hall Farm Holiday Let
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.

Stunning Alhambra Cottage, short stroll to lake
We really enjoyed our stay, perfect getaway for a couple and so close to the local amenities. Centre of town less than 5 minute walk and not much longer to walk to Derwent water. Hosts left some delicious home made brownies and were super helpful with questions. Free parking pass in local car parks as no parking on the road. Cottage is on a small busy road so a bit noisy at times and loading up to leave was tricky. Overall we highly recommend this cottage, we felt so at home and really enjoyed the open log fire which was made up and ready to light.

Cosy cottage with parking
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.

The Wash House Ambleside. Cosy with secret garden
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.

Snug cottage in a stunning setting!
What a wonderful stay - Diane was so helpful with her information Nothing was too much trouble Eggs delivered ready for breakfast Views stunning from Garden and hot tub All round just great
