Perfect base for what we needed. Excellent location to shops and bars/cafes. Well kitted out kitchen, cosy living room upstairs and comfy beds. Only thing I would say is would be nice to have bigger towels like a bath sheet (but a bonus towels were provided) and the floorboards are really squeaky! That’s me being picky though as they didn’t affect our stay.

Excellent place for a break in Windermere. You are literally minutes away from all the local amenities most being dog friendly. The lake itself is a 1 mile or so downhill walk (bear in mind they becomes an UPHILL walk back. Don’t over face yourself in Bowness like I did!!) The only issues we had were as it was raining for the three days we were there we couldn’t open the roof windows as instructed as it would rain in and it got a bit steamy after showers and worth bearing in mind there’s no where to let the dogs out at night if they need to go (to be fair it doesn’t advertise that it does have outside space) Apart from that the place was clean, comfortable and everything worked well

Nu-Holme is fantastic value and in a good location, it was our second time there and will be going back on our next lakes visit. Its is fitted out with traditional pine furniture and is a very functional place to stay, has a warm feel to it and plenty of space for a small family and is dog friendly.It has parking permits for near by villages including Ambleside, as well as on an street parking permit, It has easy access to all Windermere's shops, restaurants and bars and these are all in walking distance to Nu Holme. It is not super modern in it styling/decor so if this is a priority for you then it might not suit but it is clean and has every thing you need for a comfortable holiday in the lakes and is great value for money.
