    “This was our second stay over the New Year period as we love Bowness.”

    The property was very comfortable and welcoming with Christmas trees in both reception rooms and a welcome bottle of Fizz. The gas fire in the sitting room was lovely in the evenings after long walks in the rain. It is really conveniently located as it is a short stroll into Bowness where there are ample shops, restaurants and bars. The start of the walk to Brantfell is just at the top of the road and the Bowness Ferry to Far Sawrey is a round a mile from the house which gives access to many ...

    The property was very comfortable and welcoming with Christmas trees in both reception rooms and a welcome bottle of Fizz. The gas fire in the sitting room was lovely in the evenings after long walks in the rain. It is really conveniently located as it is a short stroll into Bowness where there are ample shops, restaurants and bars. The start of the walk to Brantfell is just at the top of the road and the Bowness Ferry to Far Sawrey is a round a mile from the house which gives access to many different walks. The only drawback was that the fire and carbon monoxide detectors were out of date. The televisions only have access to terrestrial channels, however at this time of the year there was plenty to watch on the evenings we stayed in. We loved the house and location so much, we have already booked again for next year.

    Thank you for staying at our Fairhaven for New Year 12 Months ago and again last month. We look forward to welcoming you again in a years time! We were at Fairhaven 3 days ago to check things over and take down the Christmas decorations and of course removed the out of date detector! Purchased January 2017 the box noted a guaranteed life of 7 years and as I guess expected these days, not a day longer! New one purchased which will shortly be sited. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay - Thanks again! Property Owner

The property

Fairhaven is superbly positioned in the most enviable setting for your perfect holiday, the customer reviews on-line and in the visitors book say it all.

Fairhaven is truly loved by its owners who have created a well-equipped and most comfortable holiday home. When not out exploring, spread out on the comfy sofas and relax in the superb large lounge. A 40in wide-screen digital TV and free Wi-Fi connection will keep the family entertained.

Location A holiday home in Bowness places you in the Lake District's most vibrant tourist destination, but thanks to Fairhaven's peaceful location you'll never tire of crowds. This contemporary Bowness cottage lies on the way out of the village, towards Windermere Golf Club and with renowned Lake District walks such as Brantfell beginning on the doorstep. For a family holiday in the Lake District, or a fun-filled friendly gathering, Bowness is the ideal choice. On the shores of Lake Windermere the village bustles with activity, with family attractions in Bowness Bay, hire boats, Windermere Lake Cruises and a wealth of shops, Lake District restaurants and even trendy bars. The village has the Royalty Cinema and Old Laundry Theatre for evening or rainy day entertainment, and also is home to the famous World of Beatrix Potter attraction. Lake District bus tours depart from the village, providing a great opportunity to explore if you'd prefer not to use the car during your stay. For touring the wider Lake District, your Bowness accommodation is conveniently placed off the A591 - the famously scenic road leading you south to Lakeside and Ulverston, or north to Windermere village, Troutbeck, Ambleside, Rydal Water and historic Grasmere.
