    “We really loved our stay at Yonder Lea.”

    Such a wonderful house - everything spotless and clean on arrival. High spec kitchen appliances and literally everything you could need/want in the kitchen Lovely comfortable beds and loved the duvets - just the right thickness and loads of storage in the bedrooms. Beautiful decor throughout - very stylish Lovely garden and decking area - which we actually got to enjoy as we were lucky with the weather on some days. Our dog loved the decking too.

    Such a wonderful house - everything spotless and clean on arrival. High spec kitchen appliances and literally everything you could need/want in the kitchen Lovely comfortable beds and loved the duvets - just the right thickness and loads of storage in the bedrooms. Beautiful decor throughout - very stylish Lovely garden and decking area - which we actually got to enjoy as we were lucky with the weather on some days. Our dog loved the decking too. Wonderful location - just minutes from the shops, cafes, restaurants of bowness but in a lovely quiet cul-de-sac. Only tiny thing - maybe a little more info on what to do with waste/recycling when we left was we were a little confused as no instructions we could see in book but hopefully we did it right. If I could give Yonder Lea a score it would be 11/10! Definitely recommend for a wonderful luxurious lake district holiday. Thanks for a wonderful stay

The property

Yonder Lea is a lovely holiday bungalow nestled in the stunning town of Bowness-on-Windermere.

Situated close to the town centre and lake, and within the Lake District National Park, this abode is perfect for families and friends seeking a peaceful Cumbrian retreat.

Be welcomed into a contemporary open-plan living space with everything you need to make your stay a memorable one.

In the fully-equipped kitchen, you'll whip up delicious meals to enjoy around the dining table or out on the decking, as you peek through the trees and houses to spot Lake Windermere.

Move into the sitting area and sink into a plush sofa to catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV.

When the sun sets and you're ready for bed, retreat to one of four beautifully-decorated bedrooms to catch your rest in the super comfortable Hypos beds.

The next morning, wake up and freshen up with a shower ready to take on the day.

Venture out to explore the town of Bowness and you'll find The Pier for a delicious breakfast and Lake View Garden Bar for some lakeside pub dining.

Those travelling with kids can also stop at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction to say hello to Peter Rabbit and his friends.

Head up to Ambleside and visit the stunning 19th-century Wray Castle, hike up to Stock Ghyll Force for views of the beautiful waterfall and end the day with a family dinner at The Old Stamp House Restaurant.

A stone's throw away you'll find Kendal where history-lovers can stroll through Kendal Museum, art-lovers can marvel at the pieces at Abbot Hall, and nature-lovers will enjoy a hike up Paddy Lane Viewpoint.

Yonder Lea offers a memorable Cumbrian stay for all.
