“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

- David, September 2026

Thank you for such a lovely review- really appreciated! I will check recycling instructions- they may have been moved Hope you visit again Property Owner

Donna August 2026

““A lovely property in a great location.”

” Very comfortable openplay living space, beds were super comfy (well mine was :)) Whilst we appreciated the outside space, it was a little small and on a slight slop, so as a family we could not play our yearly bowls on the lawn. Lovely kitchen space and well equipped in terms of crockery and glasses etc. The bifold doors were extremely difficult to open/close, and the microwave was also difficult to work, despite instructions. It would be beneficial if someone could be on hand on the day of arrival to show guests how to use these. (Having said this, the owners were on the end of the phone to speak to regarding these matters and were extremely polite and helpful.) This will avoid any damage being cause to the Bifold doors, which are stunning and gives the most amazing views, across the Lake, which is not mentioned in the write up that I could see, but defo worth the mention. This a property beautiful property and we will return. Thank you.

- Donna, August 2026

Thank you for the lovely review . I think the heat has had an effect on the aluminium doors but they were adjusted by an engineer on the day you left ! Hope to see you again ! Property Owner
Justine July 2026

“The accommodation was clean, comfortable and had all that we needed.”

The location is perfect - close enough to the busy area of Bowness to use the amenities but also far enough away. We found that Bowness was a good base to explore the Lakes. The garden is not completely dog-proof - the neighbours dogs kept getting into it which meant that we had to block it off and keep our dog on a lead. We visited during a heatwave and two fans were provided but were not particularly powerful. Overall the property was fabulous and we would definitely return at a cooler time of year.

- Justine, July 2026

Thanks for the positive review ! I wasn’t aware that neighbours dogs were getting into the garden - I will get that sorted! Property Owner
Alison July 2026

“This is our second visit to Yonder Lea as we think it is perfect for our needs.”

It’s a large airy open plan accommodation and is well equipped with everything you need. It is a home from home very clean and a private garden and beautiful patio which our dog loved.

- Alison, July 2026

Thanks for your lovely review and we hope to see you again! Property Owner
Robert June 2026

“Great house to have for a week.”

Had everything in it with no expense spared. Owner was great and was happy to help with last minute changes. Location was great only 5 minute walk from the main shops.

- Robert, June 2026

Thank you for the lovely review! Property Owner
Nora April 2026

“Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely recommend and love to visit again.”

The house was beautiful and we enjoyed the garden with the view of the lake. The location was perfect for us, so near the facilities whist being so quiet and peaceful. Our only concern was the washing machine was broken and we later noticed this was picked up by a guest in April but there was no sign on the machine not to use. We used the machine and were then left with very wet soapy washing to try and get dry. Also no instructions what to do with the rubbish/recycling. Overall a perfect stay, left with very happy family memories.

- Nora, April 2026

Thank you for the lovely review! Apologies about the washing machine- it was repaired the day before your stay but has developed the same problem again Property Owner
Amy April 2026

“Fantastic property in a great location.”

Just a few mins walk into town and onsite parking. Weather was excellent, so we made full use of the garden space and terrace. Rooms were big with lots of storage and very comfortable beds. A great house for family or friends getting together, loved the open plan layout and a high end finish. 100% recommend, couldn’t fault the place!

- Amy, April 2026

Stacey April 2026

“We stayed here for 5 nights and loved every second.”

A great location and lovely garden. All the beds were comfy and we loved the open plan kitchen. Would definitely return. The only negatives we found was the iron was broken and the washing machine brought up an error code.

- Stacey, April 2026

Thank you for the positive review! We weren’t aware of problems with the iron or the washing machine- I will have them attended to on next change over day ! Property Owner
Alison March 2026

“Fantastic Holiday Home, would love to have been staying for longer.”

The accommodation has everything you could expect and more, lovely finishing touches. House is central and handy for everything, also a place we hope to return too, would highly recommend

- Alison, March 2026

Thank you for such a lovely review! Hope to see you back again - there will be some changes hopefully making an even better visitor experience Property Owner
Linda February 2026

“We had a 3 night stay at Yonder Lea in February and loved it .”

There were 8 of us and there was plenty of room . The cottage was well equipped clean and well presented . It was close to all amenities and a short walk to the lake with plenty of shops bars and restaurants around . There is a slight incline walking down and back to the cottage , it has no lighting in the dark but we used our phone camera for lighting .It is situated in a secluded residential area. We didn’t make use of the outside space due to weather conditions but I bet it is lovely in the spring / Summer time I would definitely return .

- Linda, February 2026

Thank you for lovely review. The area is covered by night time light restrictions so torches & mobile phones are essential! Property Owner
Jemma January 2026

“We loved staying at this property and would recommend to anyone!”

Every detail is so well thought out for guests comfort and ease! It is close to Bowness for shops and amenities so perfectly positioned for short or longer stays!

- Jemma, January 2026

Thank you for such a lovely review Property Owner
Andrew January 2026

“We had an amazing stay at Yonder Lea.”

The House is kept to a very high standard and having stayed in many holiday cottages over the years can safely say Yonder Lea was the best equipped yet! The location is great, just a short 5 minute walk into Bowness, and the view of the lake from the decking makes for a wonderful backdrop. I am sure we will return and would certainly highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

- Andrew, January 2026

Thank you for such a lovely review ! Very appreciated Property Owner
Lindsay January 2026

“We had a wonderful Christmas at yonder Lea.”

Everything was lovely and we appreciated the hamper left for us. Accomadation was great 5stars . Had everything we needed and more. Christmas decorations and tree were lovely. Would highly recommend. Thankyou so much for a lovely time

- Colin, December 2025

Thank you for the lovely review - so pleased you enjoyed your Christmas at Yonderlea Property Owner
Barbara December 2025

“We had an amazing stay in beautiful Yonder Lea.”

The accommodation was 5 stars and it was situated so close to the centre of Bowness just a short walk to shops and restaurants. The EV charger was a bonus. Very dog friendly and the gorgeous Christmas decorations made us feel very festive close to Christmas. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back.

- Barbara, December 2025
Selmar November 2025

“What an amazing place!”

I celebrated my 60th birthday and this place was perfect. The owner kindly put up the Christmas decorations which made the whole stay memorable. Furnishing are of high quality and everything was spotless. Thank you Yonder Lea for a wonderful weekend.

- Selmar, November 2025

Thank you for such a lovely review! Property Owner
Emma November 2025

“Great property and would definitely book again.”

Plenty space for 8 adults, both in the bedrooms and living area. Close walking distance to shops, bars, restaurants. We had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable weekend stay.

- Emma, November 2025

Thank you for lovely feedback! Property Owner
Brian November 2025

“A fabulous property which incorporated all of the facilities that you might need for a nice break/holiday.”

The weather was too inclement for us to sample the outside space but generally the property is close to all of the amenities of Windermere and Bowness. However; There was no welcome pack left for us(am I be unreasonable in expecting a pint of milk and a loaf of bread plus some tea bags or coffee?) The EV charger was a welcome bonus although there were no instructions available to explain why it kept cutting out and re-starting? There were no egg cups amongst the substantial crockery available. All three of these items were minor and did not detract from our enjoyment of the property. We would have no hesitation in re-booking although hopefully next time, the weather will be more forgiving!

- Brian, November 2025

Hello Brian - we do have a small Welcome Pack but it’s not possible to leave fresh food. The Packs are supplied by Lakelovers cleaners and there are periods when the property is empty for a week plus. The EV charger cuts out because the house is on a joint electric power supply but it normally restarts within a few minutes. I will organise some egg cups! Property Owner
Stuart October 2025

“This is a really great property with everything you could need.”

Great beds,fully equipped kitchen and great comfortable living area. The enclosed garden was ideal for the dog. Situated in an ideal place for town and lake although up quite a steep hill so not good for disabled people or elderly. Would definitely recommend a stay.

- Stuart, October 2025

Thank you for the positive review ! We are constantly trying to improve- were there some facilities missing that we could provide? Property Owner
Joanne October 2025

“Lovely, spacious bungalow fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a short stay.”

Brilliant location for walking into Bowness

- Joanne, October 2025

Michelle October 2025

“What a perfect location, and a great property.”

The space was perfect, even a little sneaky lake view… The property itself had plenty of kitchen utensils, crockery, cutlery The beds comfortable as was the seating in the main living space. We didn’t get great weather so didn’t utilise the outside space but it looked great.. all in all couldn’t fault it.

- Michelle, October 2025

Thank you for the lovely feedback! Property Owner
Sharon October 2025

“Beautiful property perfectly situated in a quiet road very close to the main town of Bowness.”

Well equipped house,very clean and comfortable for a nice relaxing break. I can't fault anything about this property.

- Sharon, October 2025

Thank you for the lovely review Property Owner
Dean September 2025

“The property is amazingly furnished with lovely views and very close to local amenities, one of the best we have stayed in.”

I will however probably not be going back as I will have to think very carefully about booking through Sykes cottage’s or lake lovers. We unfortunately left an item behind in the property which i except was our fault but I have received a email to say you have it. Unfortunately 6 weeks has now passed and despite offering to pay upfront for any postage fees I still don’t have it back and it is bordering on impossible to actually speak to anyone at Sykes cottages or lake lovers about it. I would reiterate this is no reflection on the property itself. Dean Tomlin

- Dean, September 2025

Hello I understand that the item was posted back to you on 10/11 - please let me know if that is not the case thank you Property Owner
Jodie August 2025

“Amazing holiday!”

Beautiful bungalow with superb views and very well maintained. We shall return for sure! The owner of the property was so lovely and friendly. Thank you

Thank you - so glad you had a lovely holiday! Property Owner
Yvonne July 2025

“Absolutely loved the house both the space and the fact it had everything we needed.”

The enclosed garden was perfect for the dog and the house itself was close to everything. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. The only thing we would have benefited from was clearer instructions for the cooker.

- Yvonne, July 2025

Thank you the lovely feedback! Unfortunately our original instructions for all the kitchen appliances have disappeared but I will download some more ! Property Owner
Jill July 2025

“Amazing property with everything you need for a break in the Lakes.”

Close to walk to the centre of Bowness but far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. We were a family of 7 spanning 3 generations and there was enough space and privacy that we didn't feel on top of each other during our stay. We would definitely recommend it and would return in a heartbeat.

- Jill, July 2025

Thank you so much its lovely to hear the house met expectations Property Owner
Laura July 2025

“We loved it so much we booked again.”

.. so this is our 2nd time. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the friendly and helpful owner. The property was not only spotless but beautifully decorated with modern touches and thoughtful amenities. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we all had a great nights sleep. The location is perfect - we were a very short walk into Windermere. I can’t recommend highly enough. I’ll definitely be returning again soon.

- Laura, July 2025

That’s great - looking forward to seeing you all again ! Property Owner
Ross July 2025

“We stayed at Yonder Lea for a week and loved it.”

Lovely house that is 10 mins walk from the lake front. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. It was situated in a quiet neighbourhood with a beautiful garden to the rear. We would love to come back!

- Ross, July 2025

Thank you so much your comments are very much appreciated! Property Owner
Helen June 2025

“We adored this house, it had everything we needed and more.”

Everywhere was spotless and the furnishings were very high quality. Fantastic location too, only a short walk into Bowness. We would definitely return.

- Helen, June 2025

Thank you for such lovely comments- hope you do return at some point! Property Owner
Zoe May 2025

“A fabulous bungalow for a family get together.”

Well appointed, very comfortable beds, lovely to see the lake from the living room window. The walk up the hill after a visit to the fizzy tarte was a bit slower than the walk down. My only small gripe from a maintenance perspective was the dripping tap in the house bathroom.

- Zoe, May 2025

Hello thank you for your lovely review! We have a replacement cartridge for the tap - just waiting for plumber to come now! Property Owner
Malcolm May 2025

“The property was very nice and clean and spacious (and we even had a distant view of the lakes from the back garden) and we were very lucky to have a great week of weather.”

Our only issue was with the kitchen appliances and heating. The cooker was operated via a magnet which didn't seem to always want to work and the microwave required you to scan a QR code to get the instructions. The Hive heating unit was set to 29 degrees (in a week of mid 20 degrees weather) and we didn't notice it until we all realised we were cooking more than the weather should have made us feel. Couldn't get the Hive unit to lower the temperature so we felt we spent time battling the in-built technology of the property when we were in the Lake District to escape from all of that and enjoy the countryside and scenery. Not a problem for those who can't separate themselves from their technology for a break but that was the point of our break.

- Malcolm, May 2025

Very sorry to hear of your problems with the tech. The default temperature on the thermostat was set at 22degrees, I can only assume a previous guest has increased it ! I will try to prepare some basic instructions for the kitchen appliances. Thank you for your comments! Property Owner
Aimee May 2025

“We stayed at yonder Lea for a long weekend and we had a lovely time!”

The facilities are great everything we needed was there. The house was so clean and a well looked after property. The location is ideal it’s only a couple of minutes walk into Bowness-On-Windermere. I would highly recommend the property.

Vickie February 2025

“I would have no hesitation in recommending Yonder Lea.”

The bungalow is in a fantastic location (please note there is a steep hill on the ascent to the bungalow which some people may struggle with but it wasn’t a problem with our party of 8) just a short stroll to the main shops/bars/pier, there is a lovely view of the lake in the distance from the patio. The bungalow was spotlessly clean, we received a nice welcome gift, the fixtures and fittings are top quality, top marks for the sleep quality, the beds are sooooo comfy! Everything has been thought of. Would definitely return. Thank you for a lovely stay!

- Vickie, February 2025

Thank you, so pleased you had a lovely stay! Property Owner
Olivia February 2025

“We absolutely loved this property and would love to return.”

The location is fantastic and super central. Every single thing in the property is superb quality and the finishing touches are fantastic - everything that you could need is there. The property has been done out to a beautiful standard and we were all really impressed. I would 100% recommend! We were all gutted to be heading home! Thank you so much!

Thank for such lovely comments! We are amateur hosts so it is very reassuring to us ! Property Owner
Vicky December 2024

“Really comfortable and well appointed accommodation.”

We had a lovely, large family gathering here. Peaceful neighbourhood with distant view of the lake. Don’t include the following for publication, they are intended for owner only: 2 small points: Loo seat in utility area not firmly fixed. Large plates don’t fit in dishwasher.

- Vicky, December 2024
Gemma December 2024

“Belated review for a lovely stay in early December.”

This property was incredible. We stayed with a newborn and a dog for a first holiday and the property suited our needs perfectly. It has been equipped and furnished to a beautiful standard, and was impeccably clean and spacious, with everything you need for a home away from home. The location is very central and we loved being able to nip back in the daytime. Would be even more gorgeous in the summer as the outside area is lovely. We’re already thinking about when we can come back. Thank you!

- Gemma, December 2024

That’s so kind / reviews like this make it worthwhile! Would love to see you again Property Owner

Cheryl September 2024

“The property was fantastic, clean everything you need is supplied.”

Only downside for our party was the very steep hills to get to the property. We had my 80 year old mother with us who is very fit, but she struggled with the banks. We just had taxis back, so no problem just needs stating in the advert. 10/10

- Cheryl, September 2024

Thank you for your positive review. I will ask Lakelovers to mention the hill in the property description. We are adding a few things for 2025 and will fine tuning the property details! Property Owner
Patrick Barry September 2024

“A very high spec property in every respect.”

We were tempted to steal the beds but couldn't get them in the back of the car. Would definitely book it again.

Helen July 2024

“We had a wonderful 4 days at Yonder Lea.”

Lovely house, spotlessly clean, very well equipped, very comfy beds. Great location can walk into Bowness on Windermere. Owner very friendly and enjoyed our visits from Murphy his dog. Would definitely stay again.

- Helen, July 2024

Thank you for your lovely review! I’m sorry about Murphy imposing, I don’t think every guest would appreciate him so I have had gates put up so he can’t get into the garden. Also it will make it more secure for guests with dogs and young children Property Owner
Claire July 2024

“We are just back from a lovely weekend away at Yonder Lea.”

The stunning property is a few minutes walk in to Windermere on a lovely quiet cul de sac. The property was clean and well set out. The beds were really comfortable. The owner was really friendly and helpful and we would definitely recommend and we will be looking to book again.

- Claire, July 2024

Thank you for such lovely feedback - much appreciated! Property Owner
Carole June 2024

“A beautiful bungalow in a quiet residential cul-de-sac with views towards Lake Windermere in the distance.”

Property is very clean and luxuriously appointed. The beds were comfortable (duvets probably a little too heavy/hot for June). The shower in main bathroom could do with a shelf on which to put shower gel/shampoo/conditioner. The rainfall shower head is probably too large for the cubicle but that's just personal taste. The Smart TV in the sitting room relies on you logging in to your own Netflix and I-player accounts but the downside is the poor wi-fi - everything takes an age to "buffer" making some programmes almost impossible to watch. The guidebook does say that faster broadband should be coming to Bowness. You need to scan a QR code to get the instructions on how to operate the ovens/microwave. A lovely short break, despite the weather. I rated comfort as a 4 out of 5 as the luxury leather sofa is quite low for those of us with dodgy hips (as are the two smaller chairs). Would certainly recommend.

- Carole, June 2024

Hello thank you for your review! I have ordered a shower caddy for the main bathroom room and some lighter weight duvets . According to Open Reach faster WiFi speeds are now available and hopefully BT will upgrade shortly! Thanks again Property Owner
