    So well designed and spacious, furnished and decorated to a high standard. Every one of our guests expressed a desire to live here! The views are fantastic from nearly every room. Beth, the property manager provided fantastic service, was very personable and responsive, making contact early and was most accommodating to our needs for the very youngest members of our party. A few minor negatives: 1. There was a drains smell in one side of the house which did not dissipate. 2. We were not a fan of the coffee machine and think it could be upgraded for this standard of house but we are coffee fans! 3. If there is anyway to dampen the suction sound after flushing toilets it might help sleeping babies and adults! 4. We felt very guilty not recycling so kept the glass bottles separate in case the staff had an option to recycle. As a keen sailor and power boater, the ability to rent a boat for the week would have been a very special extra which I tried to do but could not find. Overall a superb property that we would be very happy to rent

The vibrant twin towns of Bowness and Windermere hold enduring appeal for visitors to the Lake District National Park, with each providing a range of nearby attractions, amenities, cinema, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes. A variety of boat trips and boat hire are available from Windermere Lake Cruises in Bowness to Brockhole, Ambleside and Lakeside (at the southern end of the lake where the Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway are situated). The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction and the Old Laundry Theatre are 1.5 miles away. Orrest Head, where Alfred Wainwright was inspired to write his series of iconic guidebooks, is a 30-minute walk to enjoy the spectacular panorama of far-reaching views over the lake and surrounding fells. Brockhole, which offers high wire tree top experiences, is three miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck are a short drive away. There is also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake. The area is ideally situated for exploring all that this region has to offer, whether by foot, bike, car, railway or bus; and is within easy reach of attractions such as the spectacular Langdales, Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top House at Far Sawrey, Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park, with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking and 'Go-Ape' adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike.
