The cottage is well equipped and in a brilliant location right in the centre of Bowness. Other than the modern bathrooms, the decor is a little tired looking.

Excellent position in the town. Central to variety of pubs restaurants cafes and shops. 100yds from the Lake. Cottage is well appointed sleeps 4 in 2 doubles but sleeping space is a little limited in 2 bunk beds except for children. Spotlessly clean. Parking is tight but adequate. Great value!

Great location but the property needs some maintenance work to appliances, damp walls and mould in the en suite. General cleanliness could have been to a better standard.

A great property in the centre of Bowness, pubs restaurants and shops all within 50 yards, with its own dedicated parking. Property was spotless, comfortable beds, powerful showers and everything needed for an enjoyable holiday. Entrance Steps and staircase could be a bit challenging for anyone with mobility issues, otherwise highly recommended.
