A little home away from home
Lynda is a brilliant host and had tea, coffee, milk and fruits ready for us before we arrived. The place was very clean and felt like home. Kids loved the place and the board games. The icing on the cake is the location as, it is next to Ocean edge. She responded promptly for any questions we had. We have enjoyed our stay here and will definitely return back if we visit surrounding places. Thank you very much for hosting us Lynda, we had a great time.

Meadowside Troutbeck Bridge, sleeps 5+1 on request
We had an amazing stay! The cottage was just as described and in the perfect location so we hardly had to use the car at all and were able to walk to Windermere, Bowness and Brockhole with our two girls ( 13 and 8). The use of the nearby pool was an added bonus after a day in the mountains. We’ll definitely be back! 😀

Langdale Cottage - 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms
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!

Lodge by the Lake South Lakeland Leisure Village
Absolutely gorgeous place. We loved being on the lake and and having access to it. Vanessa gave loads of recommendations and communicated well. Pictures matched the place. Wouldn't hesitate going back.

Great location for walks and village, lovely cottage and added bonus of pass for the leisure club. Many thanks

Golden Rose
I'd stay at Jackie's place again whenever I next visit no question. Good price, and the place is exactly as she's described. And whenever I messaged her she always responded back to me within 30mins at most which is excellent

Autumn Wks Ambleside Sleep6 Mountain View Balcony
House was as described, beautiful setting with wonderful views of the hills and mountains. Rooms are spacious with comfy beds and bathrooms are nicely finished with good showers. Kitchen is a good size and has all required implements. A great location for exploring the central lakes and soaking up all that Ambleside has to offer.

Really nice place to stay nothing bad to say at all would love to come up and stay again next time with the wife.

Luxury 3-Bed Duplex | Pets, Lake Views, 2xParking
Lovely very clean accommodation. Towels and bedding immaculate, bed comfortable, kitchen seemed well equipped. We had a one night stay and only made drinks as we ate out. On site parking was a great bonus. We walked into Bowness for the evening but much of the road does not have pavement so got a taxi back.

Spacious Family House 4BR with parking & views
Great last minute break away. In a great spot easy to walk into town and the lake. The living space is beautiful and plenty of room for all of us. Overall a lovely home to stay in

Cosy cottage with lake views
It was a great 3 days in Bowness on Windermere, Lake District and the stay at Rockside made it all the more charming. The place was lovely, very clean and had everything you would need for a homely stay away from home. My family wished we had a longer itinerary for this place. And host Lorayne was super in all the dealings we had.. very responsive and very thoughtful indeed. Thank you for everything. Look forward to visit again.

Mulberry Cottage
Absolutely loved this home! Perfect location. Philippa was super nice and helpful. Easy to walk into Bowness and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Could not have been a more perfect stay. Home was very clean and lovely. Would def try to stay here again if we’re back in Lake District!

Hawkhow Cottage, Glenridding
A beautiful location with easy access to the lake. Fabulous to swim and walk directly from the property with no need to get in your car. The sauna was a wonderful addition to warm up after our cold water swimming . A warm welcome with the nice basket of local product . Thank you Tina

We had a wonderful week at Judith's relatively spacious and perfectly located accommodation. Within walking distance of shopping and dining, Orrest Head and the lake for a cruise. Picturesque and quiet street, and we had no trouble with parking. Would happily stay there again. Even with the rain!

Beautiful Luxury one bedroom retreat in Far Sawrey
We had a wonderful stay. The cottage is very private with a fantastic view from the living room. Great location allowing easy access to nearby pubs and to the ferry. We were surrounded by wildlife, and particularly enjoyed seeing the family of baby rabbits hop around the cottage garden each evening.

Charcoal House - Luxury home with Hot Tub!
Beautiful property, well worth the visit!

Home in central Windermere (Cherrydene)
We had a lovely stay in Alastair's home. The home is centrally located a short walk from Windermere train station and in close proximity to local pubs and restaurants. Grocery shops are 3 minutes away where you can get everything you need. There is also a bus stop from where we could take buses to surrounding towns, the start of multiple hiking routes, and the beautiful lakes. The house was clean and tidy, beds were amazing, and everyone appreciated the personal touches such as tea, coffee, hot chocolate and fresh milk as well as a collection of local hiking maps. Alastair was the perfect host, we could check in and out using a lockbox, when we asked him about local recommendations, he responded immediately, had a wealth of knowledge about the local mountain trails, and went out of his way to accommodate our needs and ensure that we enjoy our time. It was easy to give our stay a five start review, and I hope to come back again in the future.

1 Queens Square, Bowness
Location can’t be beaten, in the centre of Bowness on Windemere and minutes from the lake. As others have mentioned, a little dated but a comfortable and clean stay. We had 5 adults, 1 toddler, 1 newborn and 2 dogs and enough room for us all - would recommend.

Carriage House, Luxury Cottage in Windermere
A really lovely Airbnb set in a lovely location conveniently situated about 15 minutes walk from Windermere town Centre We found the property to be exactly as described in the reviews and we couldn’t fault the place.Everything we needed was at hand and the amenities at the property were really excellent.. The house was spotlessly clean, modern and excellently maintained. We found the lovely secluded garden a lovely place to meet for afternoon/evening drinks in the sunshine.. We did experience very cool and inclement weather for the month of June and the addition of Sky/Netflix TV and central heating a great addition for our holiday.. The host was very accommodating and easy to contact at the end of a text or a telephone call. Would I recommend this property? Absolutely !! It’s just a really lovely Airbnb

Luxury 1 Bed House with Hot Tub & Games Room
It was great definitely coming again when I’m back in lake district

Osprey Boathouse your luxury water side retreat
This place exceeded our expectations. Immaculate, spacious, great location. Although it was bank holiday weekend it was so peaceful in the boathouse yet very close to the town. We loved it - a great place to meet up with friends!

Luxury Pet Friendly 3 Bedroom Home with Copper Tub
Location and quality of the home was amazing for the price! Host was very helpful and responsive! Parking was a bit busy but we all managed to find a space eventually!
