Fabulous accommodation and very well equipped throughout.Had a slight problem with the Wi-Fi on arrival but after contacting the owner who was very friendly it was promptly sorted out.Only slight problem was the very limited space at the entrance to the property but it didn’t detract from the overall experience.Having stayed in this customer’s property downstairs I have to say this was an excellent upgrade.Cannot recommend this property highly enough.

Great week in the lakes, despite some rain.Our only gripe (minor) is that we could only get live TV, despite there being a Roku stick to hand. These days, a smart TV should be regarded as being the minimum standard.Gripe over, the flat was clean, comfortable and cosily warm. A very big plus is it's situation in that it is only a 5 minute walk into the centre of Bowness for shops and restaurants. There were only two of us so we had plenty of room whereas 6 might be a bit tight.I normally test my cottages against two basic criteria:1. Was it value for money?2. Would I go back again?At this time of year it was certainly excellent value for money and I' m seriously considering re- booking it for November 2026.
