The Boat House at Louper Weir in Windermere is a highly praised holiday rental, celebrated for its stunning lake views, serene location, and luxurious touches. Guests have enjoyed the use of the kayak, the relaxing hot tub, and the high-quality kitchen amenities. While the unique charm of the property is widely acknowledged, some guests have noted challenges with the narrow spiral staircase and driveway access.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is generally described as clean and well-maintained, with several guests noting its spotless condition. However, a few guests mentioned issues such as a dirty hot tub and dust under the bed, which slightly impacts the overall cleanliness score.
The location is consistently lauded for its breathtaking views and tranquil setting on Lake Windermere. Guests appreciate the proximity to nature and the peaceful atmosphere, making it an ideal retreat.
While the property is praised for its comfortable furnishings and well-equipped kitchen, the comfort score is affected by repeated mentions of the narrow and challenging spiral staircase, which some guests found inconvenient, especially when carrying luggage.
The facilities, including the hot tub, kayak, and high-end kitchen gadgets, are highly appreciated. However, the score reflects concerns over maintenance issues such as CCTV privacy, heating control, and the need for clearer instructions for various amenities.
There is insufficient information to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts, as the reviews do not consistently mention such details. Therefore, this score cannot be accurately determined.

We love the property and the views from the balcony, the only down side we did have was on the first night the hot tub should of been at optimum temperature at 7pm, the hot tub was still cold at 9pm, the people who stayed next door complained as they had the same problem, luckily when we went out at 9pm to check the hot tub temperature we saw two people who was fixing the neighbours hot tub temperature, these two people fixed our hot tub temperature by 9:30pm. We are very disappointed we could not use the hot tub from 7pm on the first night (as stated on the holiday description) as this holiday was specifically booked for use of the hot tub.

After loosing my dad I wanted to get away on a break were I could just chill and relax and forget about everything and this did just that! The negative bits, we wasnât given an alarm fob so on entering the property for the first half hour we had the alarm blaring away! The oven hadnât been cleaned and I had to do this before using it. We couldnât use the kayak as it was full of water inside the base of it and needing lifting out and draining from inside and this was impossible to lift, way too heavy. On the last day we had to be out for 10am at 8:55 we were all packed and got changed for one last dip in the hot tub! We opened the door to find it being drained already, ridiculous when we are paying so much and basically being rushed out. The cameras yes I get it they are there for security but one facing the hot tub then one on the balcony and next door has a bigger camera all invading your privacy. Needs to be said as not right!
