Nestled on the tranquil shores of Windermere, the Boat House at Louper Weir is an exquisite getaway that truly captures the beauty of the English Lake District.
From the moment you step foot on the property, it's clear you're in for an unforgettable experience. One of the Boat House's biggest charms is its unbeatable location. Positioned on the lake, the property boasts breathtaking views of the tranquil waters and surrounding greenery. It's a serene panorama that one could spend hours soaking in. A particularly enjoyable time is breakfast on the balcony, where the morning sun, teamed with the panoramic vista, creates a serene environment - a splendid way to kickstart the day. An exciting feature of the Boat House is the private pontoon. It provides an excellent platform to use water toys and, notably, a two-person kayak that comes with the house. This is a wonderful addition, allowing guests to explore Windermere in a fun and personal manner. Additionally, the Boat House is equipped with a large downstairs shower and a wet room, along with a washer-dryer. After a refreshing dip in the lake, these amenities were incredibly handy for rinsing and drying our swim gear. The interior of the Boat House is equally impressive. The bedroom is spacious and comfortable, featuring ample storage for clothes and a cosy bed that ensures a good night's sleep. The views from the room make waking up a joy and immediately set a tranquil tone for the day. However, the Boat House isn't without its imperfections. While the living spaces are well-appointed, there's room for improvement when it comes to mirrors. The inclusion of a full-length mirror upstairs, as well as one in the bathroom, would add to the comfort and convenience of the guests. The design of the spiral staircase leaves room for improvement. The current plastic stairs felt a bit out of place in such a lovely setting, and a wider, metal design would indeed be a superior choice. Lastly, a word of caution to those planning to arrive with a large vehicle. The drive down and turn into the drive is particularly narrow. My Nissan Navara suffered a scrape, a bit of a dampener to an otherwise fantastic weekend. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Boat House at Louper Weir provides an experience that is undeniably satisfying and rejuvenating. The blend of luxury and nature creates a truly unique retreat that offers a plethora of activities and a relaxed atmosphere. I would wholeheartedly recommend a visit, and indeed, I am already looking forward to returning â this time considering the larger house next door, also managed by Sykes. In conclusion, the Boat House at Louper Weir, with its stunning views and impressive amenities, is a little slice of heaven in Windermere. If you can navigate the tight driveway and don't mind a lack of mirrors, it offers an unmatched lakeside getaway.

WE TOOK TORCHES AND OUR OWN MIRROR.
BUT WERE DISAPPOINTED THAT SOME OF THE MAIN REVIEW ISSUES HAD STILL NOT BEEN DEALT WITH. THE PROPERTY WAS NICE AND IN A GREAT POSITION WHICH SUITED OUR NEEDS, BUT WE WERE DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF FURNISHINGS IN WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A HIGH SPEC PROPERTY AT A PREMUIM PRICE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE LOUNG DINNING FURNITURE WAS ACTUALLY SOME GARDEN FURNITURE WHICH WAS A LITTLE ODD?? WARDRBE SLIDING DOORS RATTLED AND MOVED VERY CHEAP TO BE HONEST. THE CLEANING WAS NOT UP TO STANDARD AND THE FLOOR HOOVER WAS FULL OF DIRT AND DUST WHICH WE HAD TO EMPTY, UNDER THE BED WAS FULL OF DUST HAIRS AND DIRT.SHOWER AREA NOT CLEAN AND TILES HAD WATER UNDER THEM.COOKER EXTRACTOR FAN WAS DIRTY. THE OUTSIDE BALCONY WAS FIULL OF COBWEBS AND DIRT AND THE GLASS AROUND THE BALCONY WAS DIRTY AND LOOKED LIKE THE WHOLE AREA HAD NOT BE CLEANED FOR A WHILE. WE DID GO INTO LAKESIDE PROPERTIES AT THE END OF OUR HOLIDAY AND GAVE THEM THE LIST AS BELOW, THIS WE WERE TOLD WOULD BE PASSED ON TO THE OWNER. WE ARE A WEEK AFTER LEAVING OUR DTAILS AND NO RESPONSE FROM THE OWNER YET?? 1. ARRIVAL INSTRUCTIONS NEED A VISUAL MAP FOR HOW TO ENTER THE PROPERTY BY CAR AS NOT VERY OBVIOUS SINAGE 2. NO WELCOME PACK?? 3. NEEDS PRIVACY BLIND ON FRONT DOOR TO PROPERTY 4. NO FIRST AID BOX FOUND 5. NO COAT HOOKS FOR COATS BY ENTRANCE TO PROPERTY INSIDE?? 6. YET 6 COAT HOOKS IN HOT TUB AREA?? 7. NOTHING TO SWEEP AWAY DIRT OR WATER IN AREA BY WASHING MACHINE NEEDS LONG HANDLED SQUEGGY BLADE. 8. SPIRAL STAICASE WAS FOR- WARNED AS TO NARROW ETC BUT IT WAS VERY FLIMSY AND MOVED ALARMINGLY WHEN USED NOT VERY SECURE. 9. NO LIGHT AT TOP OF STAIRCASE WHICH COULD BE USED AT NIGHT SO AGAIN UNSAFE. 10. NO WALL LAMPS BY BED OR ON WALL ABOVE BED VERY ODD?? 11. NO PROPER MIRROR IN BATHROOM JUST A SMALL SHAVING MIRROR?? 12. NEEDS LONG VIEW MIRROR IN LOUNGE AREA AS WELL 13. FOUND MOSQUITO NET IN WARDROBE BUT NO WAY TO HANG THIS BY DOOR SO HAD TO HAVE DOORS CLOSED AT NIGHT 14.

We were in the area earlier than the 4pm check in and we called Danielle to see if we could arrive a little bit early, She checked with the cleaner and then called us back to say it was ready early for us, which was a nice start to our break.
When we arrived we were greeted by Danielle and her two lovely dogs and she told us about the hot tub, walks in the area and places to eat nearby, all extremely helpful. The cottage was spotless! You could see it had been deep cleaned ready for us, we found a lovely bottle of prosecco and some home made rocky road brownies waiting for us in the kitchen which was a nice touch by the owners. The cottage was warm, cosy and right next to the river Esk. The hot tub was huge and great to relax in on a night with a glass of bubbles ! We had a newly built viewing area down some steps over looking the river, this would be lovely on a warm morning/evening to sit and watch the wild life. Bed was very comfortable and plenty of wardrobe space, could have done with more hangers in the wardrobe and one of the roller blinds was broken, no pully to open/shut the blind. Bathroom was light and airy and has a very good shower, plenty of towels (even though we took our own too), the shower glass door is very loose and can open so water can go on the floor, this needs attention. Kitchen was a great size and had plenty of cupboards but few glasses, only 1 wine glass and no prosecco glasses. It has two plastic glasses for out side but not great to drink out of while chilling in the living room, and needs a blind at the front door window. Outside area was relaxing and plenty of wood and matches for the chimenea, it does have a small two seater wicker sofa but the cushions had been left out so they were wet and mouldy, not sure why these weren't brought into the cottage ? so we couldn't use that seating area. We are been a little picky with these issues but they are so small and could be easily remedied to make the cottage even better than it is, we will definitely be going back, such a relaxing spot away from everything, just what's needed if you want a chilled out break!

This property is absolutely amazing.
The setting is just surreal and it had everything we could have asked for to make our stay one we will remember forever. The very steep and tight drive down to the property was worse than some reviews state so you need to take it nice and slow. One of us got out of the car to guide the other through the really tight area which is just by the entrance to the boat house. Very tight but fine when guided. It is also much easier to reverse into the space if you can as it is very tight coming out of the driveway. The narrow spiral staircase is again tight and not suitable for all, especially if you need the toilet in the night. We left the bathroom light on so we had some light in the darkness as there are no bedside lights or any lights on the staircase. Something to also stress to anyone considering booking as you are not told in the property description is the CCTV. They should by law let you know as one of the outside cameras is positioned looking directly at the hot tub. So if you are body conscious and do not want a camera watching you when you have very little clothes on then this is not for you. There is no need for the camera to be pointed directly at the hot tub it could be moved to just watch the stairs/entry to the boat house. We did ring beforehand to ask about this and were assured the cameras were not monitored and did not cover the hot tub, but once you are there it is clear the hot tub is overlooked. If we had known we would have cancelled as we were not happy with this at all. There are also 2 other CCTV cameras, one on the balcony and one on the neighbouring balcony which you might find intrusive to your privacy. Other than the CCTV this is a truly amazing place to stay and one where if made aware you can make you own decision whether to book or not dependant on your preferences to being watched.

First of all the Boat House and location is very impressive and the facilities in the Boat House are first rate, very modern, clean and comfortable.
The view is spectacular overlooking Windermere and was great to sit and watch the sunset form the balcony. The use of the Kayak was a bonus and me and my wife had fun paddling on the lake. There are just a few things wrong with the Boat House which most people have mentioned already on other reviews. The drive down to the Boat House is very steep and parking is tight especially if you have a big car. The stairs from the entrance hall/WC up to the main living area are very narrow steep and for anyone with any impairments they would find it a major hindrance. Also there is no light at the top of the stairs so during the night when you needed the toilet you have to use a torch or leave the light on downstairs. If the stairs were made wider and light fitted this would make the Boat House a first rate location. The other issue was the hot tub has CCTV overlooking the tub which we found very uncomfortable and found it a breach of our privacy. I can understand CCTV needs fitting but it does not need to overlook the hot tub. The entrance hall is very slippery when it is raining outside, a door mat would sort this issue out. We loved our week and would come again I just hope the issues raised not only by me but also other guests are sorted out by the owner.
