Great accommodation. Good location, affordable, view of the lake. Walking distance from pubs, restaurants and Bowness waterfront.Facilities are great. Fridge, freezer, good cooker, two bathrooms. Two parking spaces are a real bonus for a place in the Lakes as well. We will definitely be back.Only thing to consider is the steep hill to the house and the fact that there's a lot of steps in the apartment. Location and setting are perfect for walkers but would be cautious for anyone with limited mobility.

Really nice property. View from the dining room of lake Windermere is special and worth the price of admission alone. Property is not without its flaws, WiFi is sub par at best and the downstairs bedrooms are pretty damp. In terms of location your mobility and desire to use a car will determine if this property is for you. The hill down to Bowness is quite steep and the walk back up could be challenging for most. In its defence it’s a relatively short walk and you have access to all the amazing shops bars and restaurants Bowness has to offer. Personally would recommend and would stay again but very much depends on your circumstances

We love this place but I still can’t understand why they removed the washing machine for a dishwasher. This is a hikers paradise but you have chose to provide convenience of a dishwasher rather than supportingthe need of a washing machine.
