“A very pleasant stay an issue we had with the hot water and heating was resolved the same day I raised it.”

Great customer service.

Great customer service. The apartment suited our needs perfectly and that’s why we keep going back, WiFi would be beneficial and perhaps replenish the wine glasses there were only 2 and one had seen better days lol . We look forward to coming back next year.

“Our third enjoyable stay at Mosslea except for two issues.”

The door compartment in the fridge is still broken a year after our first stay. If it can't be repaired it should be removed. Secondly the pillows are "dead" no bounce only uncomfortable lumps.

“WE were very impressed with Mosslea, the dark wood doors were a suprise but on opening them all the rooms were bright and airy.”

The windows in the louge made it all very light and the decore in the bedroom made this very light. All the things you need for self catering were there and a perfect spot to be close enough to the village of Bowness but back enough from the road to be quiet. We will be looking to book again

“We stayed for a week in April and had a great time, the location is ideally situated for a short walk in to Bowness or 10/15 walk to Windermere, this opens the opportunity for train journeys around the lakes for non car users.”

There was a slight issue with the heating and hot water going off, this was raised and while we were out that day, an engineer attended the property and fixed the issue, great service. I would have no reservation in recommending this property family and friends.

“The first evening we arrived we phoned the emergency service to say that we had no wifi and that the kettle was not working, A gentleman phoned back to say there was no wifi at the property and that he would make sure that the kettle was replaced.”

It never was..... The apartment is a bit old-fashioned with a beige corner suite a bit big, has not got the holiday flat feel.

- Monika, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback after your recent stay at Mosslea. We are sorry nobody got back to you regarding the kettle. We attended to the Kettle on the changeover and did not find any issues with it? The property isn't advertised as having WIFI either. Lastly the property does not have a beige corner suite, the sofa is blue and is a 2/3 seater which is the perfect size for the room and for up to two guests to sit comfortably. We do hope you enjoyed your holiday regardless of these issues raised. Property Owner

“Excellent apartment, it's central a few minutes walk from the lakes and great value for money.”

Stayed for two weeks during a lakes heatwave !!

“I had a wonderful time.”

The holiday home was well equipped, with all home comforts available. It was like home from home. As I went during the half term holidays, Bowness was super busy. It was impossible to eat in a restaurant locally. Super location to use as a base for walking.

Well done!

The property

This peaceful ground floor apartment lies only a stone's throw from the centre of Bowness village and the elegant shores of Lake Windermere. It has a pretty, colourful patio garden, and offers elegant space for couples to spread out and relax. The attractive double bedroom opens out to a raised sitting area overlooking the garden - a treat for lazy mornings. You'll even find room to invite guests for dinner, unless you're tempted by the range of excellent pubs and eateries on your doorstep in Bowness village. Mosslea is an excellent choice if you'd prefer not to drive during your Lake District holiday. Stroll to Bowness Pier and take a steamer cruise to Ambelside or Lakeside, or hop on one of the Lake District bus tours departing in the village centre. == Accommodation in detail Private parking for 1 car. Entrance hall with cloaks cupboard. Well-equipped breakfast kitchen with a pleasant outlook to the garden. The living room also enjoys a pleasant outlook through a large window. Open to this room is the dining area, with a 2nd large window. The double bedroom is modern and fresh, with a patio door leading to a raised seating area which overlooks the garden. Bathroom with shower over bath. Location Bowness is a delightful and well-served Lakeland village, on the eastern shores of Lake Windermere, England's largest lake. The village has a contemporary shopping street with everything you could need during your self-catering holiday in the Lake District. Tesco supermarket, tempting delicatessens and boutique gift shops too. The real attraction of a holiday in Bowness is Lake Windermere. Hire boats come and go in Bowness Bay, swans wander freely on the lake shore, and yachts can be seen racing from the Royal Windermere Yacht Club. The famous Lake Windermere steamers depart regularly from Bowness Pier, providing a very scenic car-free route to both Ambleside and Lakeside. Windermere Golf Club is just outside Bowness, on the way towards Crook and the Lyth and Winster Valleys. Even if you're not a golfer, we recommend a scenic drive to one of the excellent Lake District country pubs in the Lyth Valley or Winster Valley, such as the Mason's Arms at Strawberry Bank or the Brown Horse at Winster. A Sunday treat!
