Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bowness-on-Windermere

Beautiful views, friendly staff and everything in Yurt. Will helped us out

We stayed here for my sons 12th birthday for 2 nights end of May 2025. The house itself was beautiful, tastefully decorated and felt fresh and clean. The beds were all very comfortable with good bedding. The Hosts were very friendly and we felt the check in was easy and hassle free. The games room, sauna and hot tub were great additions and again well looked after and clean. We would definayely book here again.

10/10! What a beautiful, remote location , our time at Two Acre plot was exceptional - especially being greeted by the lovely cows upon arrival. The pod was immaculate and homely. The view from the hot tub was fascinating and calming. We can’t wait to be back. Thank you !

We had a great time at Canny Brow Barn. Everything you could possible think of or need for your stay, Ian and Anne-Marie had thought about, from a cocktail shaker to cleaning products to games. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful location, lots of lovely additions such as bathrobes for all. Ideal for a quiet getaway or a place to chill after exploring Cumbria and/or Yorkshire.

Harriet is so welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in her stunning barns. Everything is finished to a very high spec and the spacious bedrooms and en-suites are wonderful. The farm and countryside setting is beautiful. We were sorry to leave!

We had a really good stay! The place was clean, well-maintained, and had all the facilities we needed for a comfortable visit. The views were absolutely amazing — a real highlight of the trip. The hosts were very helpful and responsive whenever we needed anything, which made the experience even better. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again!

We had a great stay. The house was in a beautiful location, right on the estuary. Plenty of beach for walking. Beds were comfy and ample linen and towels were provided plus a great welcome hamper. The games room provided hours of entertainment and the hot tub was lovely for relaxing in after a busy day. The nearby rock park/quarry was a really interesting day out. We also enjoyed a meal out at the King William IV in Kirksanton. Jenny was a great host and was extremely welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Had a great stay. Beautiful surroundings, enjoyed talking to the baby lambs before everyone was awake. Great breakfast baps delivered in the morning which set us up for our days in Wainwright country. Great evening meals in the Manor House pub, steak pie is the best. As it’s an open bunkhouse, do check to make sure that none of your party snore or have sleep apnea in advance, if they do, take ear plugs!

Lovely property! The view is absolutely stunning! Great location - many pubs near by, children’s park and walks to do from the property and only 30 min drive from Buttermere lake ‘which is a must’! Perfect for our 2 year old, she loved running around the garden and seeing the view & sheep! Great communication with host. Would 100% recommend!

Lovely cottage, very clean and decorative. Great location just a short drive to lovely walks and other villages. Co op and SPAR across the road, or ASDA express 10 mins away. Very dog friendly my 2 border collies loved it. Road can be busy and noisy but quiet at night. Managed to park safely on the road a few metres up with no restrictions or outside the cottage 6pm - 8am. Lee is an excellent host very helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend.

Lovely, cosy cottage. Very warm, despite the inclement weather. Under floor heating was lovely! We lit a fire one evening, although we didn't really need it, and it was great!

First of all, I am very grateful to harword for helping me deliver the things we left in the bedroom in time, so that we didn't leave any regrets before leaving UK . Harword's house is our most most love house, and the environment is definitely many times better than the photos. There are two rooms, a big bed room, a double bed, a big kitchen and living room. The kitchen is well equipped and very clean. We bought food and cooked by ourselves and had a very pleasant two days. Malt Kiln is about 40 minutes to an hour away from Wendell Lake. Because the village path is very narrow, we drive slowly, but the scenery is beautiful and the cattle and sheep flock together, which is a visual enjoyment. highly recommended here. Janet's cake is very delicious, thank you also.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mary’s place. One of the best equipped kitchens we used over the years on Airbnb. The cottage is very clean and master bedroom bed is surprisingly beautiful. The view is stunning from Heaversham Head just as described by Mary. Great value for money considering its close location to Windmere. Highly recommend.

Stuart and Lynda gave us very clear instructions to get to the place and it is one of the most beautiful stays we have been in. The drive is amazing and the walks from the backyard are great as well. It is easy to get to if you drive and is 30-40 mins away from most famous Lake District hikes. Definitely would recommend

Everything required for a lovely relaxing stay. Shops and restaurants just around the corner, house is on a quiet street so slept really well. Everything was so clean and felt so at home from the moment we walked through the door,, we would highly recommend staying at Sallys house if you are visiting Kendal.

Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

Great lodge situated right at the top of the site, within 2 minutes of a small walk with panoramic views of the valleys. Bedding was super soft & so were the towels, comfy bed, great sleep. Beautiful surroundings to wake up to and sit outdoors with a coffee listening to the birds. Dog friendly! Comfortable sofa! Lots of utensils and plates.

Had a lovely 3 nights stay, hosts were friendly and informative, house was spotlessly clean and spacious, everything you could really need was there, hot tub in the evenings after a day out was the perfect way to unwind, made a great base for exploring the lakes, hope to come back soon!

Really enjoyed our stay, we were celebrating my Mother’s 90th birthday and had other family members staying in other lodges around the park. Beautiful scenery and great location. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

This place was beyond our expectations. Immaculately presented, super clean, tidy, jaw dropping views. I can't fault it in any way and I can't rate it highly enough. Will definately look to return in the future. Stunning!

Stayed with a group of friends - was fantastic, the gaming room, the pool, the garden/bbq areas, freshly cut football pitch. Only issue was one of the wifi routers didn’t work, but we worked around it.

what a great air b&b . clean and tidy . we had an issue which was our right within hours. everything was explained in the texts we sent and received . can't rave to much about van, sie ,area and host. what a sea view.

We stayed at this property as a group of 14 friends on a hiking weekend in the Lake District. Put simply, this is property is incredible! Martin has thought of everything a large group of people could need. The facilities are fantastic, from the hot-tub, to the fully kitted out games room, to the hammocks and swings, fire-pit, outdoor eating areas, speaker systems throughout the house. Everyone who stayed was blown away with the property and we made memories that we will never forget. Thank-you so much to the host for allowing us to stay.
