    “Bungalow in a good location for bowness and windermere.”

    ( rd at side was extremely noisy at weekend). Had to contact agents on arrival no heating left on and instructions say don't touch it! Was promptly sorted. Disappointed that many of the facilities are not as advertised, no off rd parking, garden not fully enclosed, holes in hedges. Garden gate doesn't close.

    ( rd at side was extremely noisy at weekend). Had to contact agents on arrival no heating left on and instructions say don't touch it! Was promptly sorted. Disappointed that many of the facilities are not as advertised, no off rd parking, garden not fully enclosed, holes in hedges. Garden gate doesn't close. (Spoke to owner and son on 1st day & denied knowledge that gate was like that even though they were there day before. We stayed a week and no one came to fix it. Disappointing when you have a dog and purposely researched for this! No welcome pack, not even a pint of milk when youve paid nearly £700 to stay! Dead wasps and flies in every room. (Owner asked for a picture... who would lie about dead flies/ wasps?) ,(but we have taken pictures of everything)Freezer doesn't work,lit up but drain is froze solid, food ruined. condenser dryer doesn't work, 4hrs to dry 6 thin items and wete still very wet. Lots of cobwebs and dust. Pillow looks like someone died on it! No heating in main and twin bedroom. Bathroom sink plug hole black with sticky dirt. En suite sink plug mouldy. Conservatory has no heating so not usable, ceiling looks like its coming in one corner. Not a smart tv. No where to dry wet coats... heating is blown air heating through rusty vents in floors. We booked this well in advance for a special occasion and were overall very disappointed, for the price they charge its cheeky! Clearly lacks care and attention and the cleaner is taking liberties. Owner said they just try to roll with it when we asked questions... still now have no idea what that means!

The property

Resting in a prime position upon the cusp of Bowness-On-Windermere in Cumbria is The Bird's Nest, a delightful, three-bedroom bungalow.

Well-positioned near a hub of amenities and attractions, enveloped by the Lake District National Park, The Bird's Nest offers a well-equipped base for a family of six, looking to enjoy the countryside with their furry companion in tow.

Park up off-road or to the roadside, before travelling through the enclosed, wrap-around garden, ideal for alfresco mealtimes and late-night tipples.

Step indoors to locate the compact yet well-equipped kitchen, where you can prepare meals to be enjoyed around the formal dining table.

The sitting room offers a homely base to unwind, socialise and catch up with your favourite programmes, featuring an electric fire for those cooler nights.

Catch some rest from one of three bedrooms on offer, including a king-size with TV and en-suite, a double, and a twin, all serviced by the bathroom.

Enjoy a fresh coffee in the suntrap conservatory, with views out to the garden and its pretty blooms, before heading into the town to stock up on the essentials and to dine out, with a wealth of amenities on your doorstep.

Ideal for all the family, head to The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, tour the Windermere Jetty Museum - Stories of boats and steam, or take to Lake Windermere, by boat, kayak, or paddleboard, each offering breath-taking views of the Lakes. Travel north towards Ambleside for a day out filled with charm and nature, firstly stopping off at The Bridge House, followed by a visit to Stock Ghyll Force waterfall and Borrans Park, with Rydal Cave, and the River Rothay Grasmere Foot Bridge resting higher up to reach Grasmere and its attractions.

With Kendal nearby, where you can tour Kendal Museum, practise your swing at Kendal Golf Club, or discover the remains of Kendal Castle, there's plenty to see and do from The Bird's Nest.
