“Lovely cottage immaculately clean and had everything you could possibly need and more!”

Well situated near shops restaurants etc but nice and quiet. If I was to be picky the fabric settee in the lounge was really uncomfortable but everything else is spot on!

“A lovely cottage in an ideal location.”

Right in the heart of Bowness and has all of the amenities on the doorstep. Tucked just behind the Main Street it is also peacefully quiet. Well equipped and comfortable. The show screen needs improving - but other than that brilliant!

“Entry down to the house from street level was very steep it does not show this ...”

Entry down to the house from street level was very steep it does not show this in picture but said that once we started usng the back entrance it was much better, parking was a big issue as only twice got near the house at one point we had to park about half a mile away apart from that the house was in a fantastic spot near the town itself a very well equiped cozy house, the house would benefit from private parking area as neighbours have done

“A cosy comfortable home from home.”

“The cottage is in a reasonable state - old furniture, nice kitchen-diner, the two bedrooms are a good size, although there's little storage space for food, there's a good shower.”

Mild complaint: It wasn't clear where we were expected to put the bins for collection. The only real negative , parking is a nightmare as the road is narrow, with about 20 properties but room for 10-12 cars and no designated parking slots. Some of the cottages have converted their front gardens into parking bays - this cottage would really benefit from the same.

In a great location. If I were being really picky. Parking like cottage next door would be an advantage

“The cottage is well positioned in Bowness, it is well equipped with everything you need for self catering.”

Close to the shops, bars & cafes. It has permit parking, is dog friendly. Although close to everything it is peaceful & a good place to stay to enjoy everything Bowness has to offer.
