Snaptrip says

Lauron's View is a well-furnished cottage in Bowness-On-Windermere with stunning views over Lake Windermere. Guests have praised its location, comfort, and the facilities provided, making it a popular choice for repeat visits. While some minor maintenance issues and cleanliness concerns were mentioned, the overall experience remains highly regarded, with many looking forward to returning.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The cottage received mixed feedback on cleanliness. Some guests found it very clean, while others noted issues with kitchenware, windows, and general cleanliness. The high chair's condition was specifically mentioned as unsatisfactory.

The location is consistently praised for its stunning views and proximity to local amenities, making it an ideal base for exploring Bowness-On-Windermere and the Lake District.

The property is generally considered comfortable and well-furnished. However, some guests found the beds too soft and the heating inadequate, which affected their overall comfort.

Facilities are well-regarded, particularly for adults, but some guests encountered issues with baby facilities, a problematic patio door, and a lack of kitchen essentials. Maintenance responsiveness is noted as prompt.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Location

On the eastern shores of Lake Windermere, Bowness is a sophisticated Lakeland village with a wealth to explore and enjoy. Stroll to the lake shore to hire a row boat or power boat, or take an elegant cruise on one of the Lake Windermere steamers. Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly to Ambleside and Lakeside; a wonderful way to explore without even using your car. There are several excellent restaurants in Bowness village, within walking distance of Lauron's View. The Porto Restaurant is a long-standing favourite for stylish dining and Jackson's Bistro, always a firm favourite while Bodegas & Sol, The Fizzy Tarte and Baha add a contemporary twist to the wide offering of bars with food options. There are also plenty of traditional Lakeland pubs, both in the village centre and the surrounding countryside, the Bowness to Kendal road celebrated as being the gastro route where you'll find The Brown Horse, The Hare and Hounds, The Black Labrador, Mason's Arms and Lyth Valley Country Inn. Close to the village, you'll find Blackwell, The Arts and Crafts House. This impressive property takes a stunning position overlooking Lake Windermere, and has a range of interesting exhibitions. Join the A591 to Ambleside and Grasmere to explore the homes of famous Lake District poet, William Wordsworth and beyond to Keswick, the route named most scenic in Britain, easy to see why. Another great idea is to take the car-ferry crossing, with or without your bikes over Lake Windermere from Bowness, to visit the former home of Beatrix Potter in Near Sawrey, and the picturesque village of Hawkshead, a quaint, Lakeland village with white washed cottages lining the main square intermingled with a selection of pubs, cafes and galleries

The vibrant twin towns of Bowness and Windermere hold enduring appeal for visitors to the Lake District National Park, with each providing a range of nearby attractions, amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes. A variety of boat trips and boat hire are available from Windermere Lake Cruises in Bowness to Brockhole, Ambleside and Lakeside (at the southern end of the lake where the Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway are situated). The World of Beatrix Potter attraction and the Old Laundry theatre are 1.5 miles away. Orrest Head, where Alfred Wainwright was inspired to write his series of iconic guidebooks, is a 30-minute walk to enjoy the spectacular panorama of far-reaching views over the lake and surrounding fells. Brockhole, which offers high wire tree top experiences, is less than two miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck are a short drive away. There are also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake. The area is ideally situated for exploring all that this region has to offer, whether by foot, bike, car, railway or bus; and is within easy reach of attractions such as the spectacular Langdales, Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top House at Far Sawrey, Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park, with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking and “Go-Ape” adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike.

    An added bonus for us on the rainy days we were there was the game/puzzle cupboard which we all enjoyed exploring playing games & puzzles. Everything was really comfortable and nothing was lacking, all the comforts of home.

    We had already noted that there were cracked tiles on the floor of the main room. They caused us no dismay whatsoever. However, to find that the cooking hob was damaged was rather distressing though we were relieved to discover that it did not impair its use. The fridge was another matter. The place where upright bottles can be stored was missing and when we laid flat our milk containers, they leaked, as we would expect. Not only did we lose milk, we lost space for other items in the fridge and we were left with a small cleaning operation. We do intend to return - the house is wonderful, comfortable, and large enough for us. But I very much hope that repairs will be seen to before then.

    Everything was just perfect. Very sad to leave but will hopefully return soon! Thank you!
