“We had a wonderful stay at the Lake Lodge.”
The hot tub especially was fantastic, with amazing views. The owner was very welcoming and helpful.
We were not aware this lodge was a side annex to the main building where the owner lives. That said, we had full privacy all the time which was great.
Two things which would have been helpful on reflection - curtains for one of the windows in the bedroom and also we found the property set off our allergies quite a bit. This may be because guests can bring dogs to stay at the premises so that is the likely cause.
Fantastic trip all in and would highly recommend a stay at the Lake Lodge.
The property
A luxury Lake District lodge with hot tub, in a superbly romantic setting. With panoramic views through full length windows and overlooking Lake Windermere, Lake Lodge is a unique retreat for a special occasion or honeymoon in the Lake District. It's perfect for exploring the Lakeland countryside, but equally well-placed to enjoy the delights of Bowness village which is only a couple of miles away.
Lake Lodge is full of character; cosy and homely with wonderful touches such as a four-poster bed and woodburning stove. Dine in alongside a picture window, sit out on your decked terrace to admire the location, or soak in the jacuzzi hot tub with a glass of something special. Unforgettable! The owners regret that this property does not accept babies, and is not advisable for the infirm. Please let us know your estimated time of arrival when making a booking.

Location
This romantic Lake District location takes you safely away from the crowds, but it's also very convenient for exploring the delights of Bowness - the Lake District's most popular holiday destination. Windermere Golf Club's scenic course is also within easy reach.
Bowness high street is modern and sophisticated, with supermarkets and shops providing everything you could need during your stay. Stroll down to Bowness Pier, and you'll find several options for taking to the water. Hired row boats come and go, and the elegant Windermere steamers depart regularly to Ambleside and Lakeside - a perfect way to explore without using a car. Windermere Lake Cruises also offer romantic evening cruises, with buffet food and even live music. A real treat on a special occasion.
By night, you'll find endless choice for a special evening out - from the cosy traditional pubs such as the 'Hole int Wall', to contemporary restaurants and bars. For a special treat, we recommend that you sample one of the renowned Lake District gastropubs in the Lyth Valley, just to the east of Bowness. There are several to choose from, but The Mason's Arms at Strawberry Bank follows particularly well after a walk on Gummers How!
