“Fantastic property, ideal as a base for one or two couples.”

All facilities were excellent and cleanliness was highly evident. Can't recommend enough

“Only minor issue was the bins and delivery to the pub in the morning as early as 0630.”

The cottage itself was lovely in great location.

“We have been to the property before in November 2019.”

There have been a few decorative alterations since we were last there. We found the property comfortable and homely. A few minor issues such as there was a mug that was chipped and also a glass that was chipped I would have thought these should have been replaced. There was also only 1 toilet roll for 4 people for a week which we thought was a bit stingy seeing as it’s quality accommodation. The milk was out of date in the sachets that were in the tea/coffee box. A number of the spot lights in the lounge were not working.

“Workshop cottage was the perfect base for our lake district holiday.”

It has been very well designed to ensure full use of the space available. As there were just the two of us it was a perfect size. The location is perfect, very close to lots of bars and restaurants in the town as well as Lake Windermere.

“It was a lovely cottage in a fantastic location.”

The only downside was the noise from the pub.

“The cottage was excellent in a location 2 mins from restaurants and the main shopping street.”

It was furnished to a high specification and although we did not use all its facilities it was very well equipped. Although no garden it had the bonus of a patio off the lounge which was great on sunny days. The only problem others may encounter is that there is permit parking and Bowness is a very busy town so not always many available spaces.

“Really nice property, nicely furnished, excellent location, parking is an issue ...”

Really nice property, nicely furnished, excellent location, parking is an issue that would make it better, permit scheme operates on a fist come first served basis and there appears to be more permits than there are parking spaces

“The quality and cleanliness and the apartment was very good.”

However when we arrived we could not access the Wifi. We spoke to Lakelovers and were told that the owner would visit the property to resolve the following day (Saturday) When we returned in the evening there was still no Wifi, nor any evidence that anyone had attempted to correct the problem. Furthermore we had no communcation from Lakelovers/Owners regarding how the situation was to be resolved. Both my partner and I had taken work to be completed during our stay in the Lakes and were unable to do so. We are disappointed by the lack of Wifi and angered by the lack of response communication from Lakelovers.

“We had a wonderful week staying at Workshop cottage.”

We loved the luxurious, high-end spec of the cottage, with super-comfortable beds, while having a lovely cosy and homely feel to it. It made our break really special. It was so lovely sitting on the balcony, having a drink as the sun was going down and the patio heater was a lovely touch too. I loved how there was so much light coming in through all the dormer windows. I would love to come back and stay again at this beautiful cottage. It's location is also great for wondering into town and being near to the lake.

“We really enjoyed the quality of the accommodation, the location, being able to walk to all the facilities in Bowness, we only used the car once during our week's stay, used legs, boats & buses!”

The property

This perfect Lake District Cottage has recently been sympathetically transformed to a contemporary and chic escape. Set in the heart of the Village of Bowness, this beautiful stone built cottage also feels very private yet is only a stone's throw from the bustling bars and restaurants. Finished to an impeccably high standard, Workshop Cottage provides guests with a beautifully furnished open plan living area, sumptuous bedrooms that have a designer feel, a luxurious wet-room and of course the balcony where you are guaranteed to while away many an evening. Your stay here will be relaxing, and this cottage has everything and more that you could need for a weekend, week or longer in this honeypot location. == Accommodation in detail The entrance hall leads upstairs into the modern and spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, with glass doors leading out on to the spacious and private balcony, this is the perfect place to sit to enjoy either morning coffee, a light lunch or a relaxing evening. Inside are contemporary, luxury furnishings with a huge TV and even a Wii. The well equipped kitchen has top of the range appliances throughout. Also on this floor is the beautifully furnished master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and dressing table; you will not want to get out of this king-size bed!! Downstairs is a further luxury double bedroom, complete with designer, high quality linens, there is also a separate dressing room with even more storage space. The bathroom is in fact a large, luxury wet-room with a walk in shower and also a large contemporary tub! . Location On the eastern shores of Lake Windermere, Bowness is a sophisticated Lakeland village with a wealth to explore and enjoy. Stroll to the lake shore to hire a row boat or power boat, or take an elegant cruise on one of the Lake Windermere steamers. Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly to Ambleside and Lakeside; a wonderful way to explore without even using your car.There are several excellent restaurants in Bowness village, within walking distance of Workshop Cottage. The Postillion Restaurant is a long-standing favourite for stylish dining, while The Porthole and Bodegas & Sol puts a contemporary twist on the tapas style. There are also plenty of traditional Lakeland pubs, both in the village centre and the surrounding countryside. Windermere Golf Club is just outside Bowness village, on the way to the Lyth Valley. This area is also renowned for gentle but very scenic walking, with a wealth of acclaimed Lake District country pubs to choose from at the end of the day. Close to the village, you'll find Blackwell, The Arts and Crafts House. This impressive property takes a stunning position overlooking Lake Windermere, and has a range of interesting exhibitions. Join the A591 to Ambleside and Grasmere, and you can explore the homes of famous Lake District poet, William Wordsworth.Another great idea is to take the car-ferry crossing over Lake Windermere from Bowness, to visit the former home of Beatrix Potter in Near Sawrey, and the picturesque village of Hawkshead.
