Vacation rentals with lake access in England

The property was superb, even better than the photographs. It’s ideally situated for access to Bowness and surrounding area. The views from the outside terrace were fabulous - even though the weather was mixed! The hot tub and games room were well used and enjoyed by our mixed age group. Overall a brilliant holiday in a beautiful home and David our host met us at the property and even allowed us in early!

We had a great stay here, the house was lovely and as described. The location was great and the amenities at the home were excellent, would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely stay at Sharon's lodge. The lake grounds are beautiful and her home was immaculate and we felt immediately at home. We would definitely come back!

What a lovely home. We had a great 4 night stay. Everything was clean and plenty of space for our family of 4 plus our dog. A welcome treat for us and the dog was well received. We particularly enjoyed launching our paddle boards from the jetty and relaxing in the hot tub.. The next door building as mentioned didn’t take away from the stay at all. Thanks a lot!

Fabulous stay by the lake with elderly parents. Andy and Anne were great hosts and were proactive in communicating and making our holiday the best it could be. The accommodation had good good sized bedrooms with their own bathroom. We visited nearby Cirencester for a bit of Cotswold people watching. Thoroughly recommended. Fab five star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely house with everything you need in a beautiful location. Great facilities on site! Hosts are very quick to respond to messages. Definitely recommend!

The perfect location to enjoy some peace and tranquility in the countryside. The house also benefits from being right on the lake with a private jetty where you can use all the kayaks and paddle-boards provided. In the surrounding areas there are some beautiful walks where you can explore the nearby areas. The local village in South Cerney is within walking distance which has some convenience stores. It is also very close to drive to some bigger supermarkets for anything else needed. Inside the house, everything is pristine and decor is to a very high standard. The kitchen and dining area was a great open space with room for all of us to be in without feeling cramped. We found a lovely welcome basket included by the hosts and there are all the amenities you would need in the kitchen. The layout of the house was perfect and the ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms was great, even for a group of girls! Overall we had a fabulous trip and the hosts were always on hand to provide recommendations.

We had a lovely Easter break in this house with our family (8 adults). The weather was perfect so we enjoyed playing tennis and paddle boarding on site and walked to the pub in the village.

This is a lovely flat with wonderful views. It is conveniently located in the centre of Keswick. The flat is well equipped. We loved it!

Perfect stay for climbing Snowdon. Clean, comfortable and had tea, coffee and milk which was a nice touch! Would definitely recommend!

Lorraines apartment was a great base for our 3 day visit to Liverpool. Beautiful apartment which exceeded our expectations. I expected it to be smaller than it looked but it was actually larger than I thought. We loved it and loved Liverpool. not far to walk into Albert Dock. There was only 2 of us but would be very comfortable for a group of 4. Definitely recommend this to others. Huge Thank you to Lorraine, a great host!

Michelle was really friendly and proactive. The apartment was amazing and really comfortable. There were extra in the apartment such as tea and coffee and Michelle left us a bottle of milk!! Really lovely flat. Great stay

Cannot fault this place and if this is the area you wish to visit, this is the place to stay. The loft is spotless with ample room and a lovely sunrise over the lake across the road is not to be missed. Jen is a terrific host and extremely friendly and approachable. She is proactive in the communication and offers extremely helpful advice on directions and things to do in the area. I will be looking to go back to the area again later this summer and will certainly be looking to stay with Jen again!

Great apartment, perfect for what we needed. We parked outside to unpack in the 1 hour free parking spaces then took the car to the local carpark where we left it for 3 days. The apartment is in a good location.

fantastic apartment in a great location not too bad pub within 2 minute walk also beach not too far away either you can walk to Filey v beach in about 50 minutes or Hunmandy gap in around 25 minutes Excellent clean apartment with a tv in living room and an additional one in bedroom easy check in great kitchen and facilities would highly recommend

It's located in a very convenient place and we had everything we needed for our stay. The dedicated parking bay was a massive relief considering that the street parking was completely taken up even on the relatively quiet working weekdays. We had a slight issue once where someone had parked in our only parking bay when we came back after a drive, but luckily there was an empty space next to it where we parked instead. We let Liam know about the problem and he immediately looked into it and made sure that we won't have an issue. He was very responsive and helpful which made our stay stress-free. It wasn't the most quiet place though because of a group of people talking loudly very loudly in the car park at night. But this is probably a one off problem. Overall, we had a great stay!

The Lake View Cottage was perfect. Clean, quiet, has parking and a beautiful view of The Hirsel lake and all the birds. The beds are very comfortable and plenty of storage for clothes in the rooms. It was lovely waking up and The Homestead Cafe being right outside for a tasty fuss-free breakfast or lunch. I grew up in Coldstream so it was nice to show my son and husband where I used to walk with friends who lived around The Hirsel. Very peaceful for walks and safe for little ones on a scooter. The Cottage also had underfloor heating in the bathroom which was lovely. Already planning next years trip.

The LOVEDAY cottage was an ideal getaway for us and our dog. It’s incredibly homely, and the spa-like bath adds a touch of luxury. The cottage had everything we needed, plus some thoughtful touches. The hosts were incredibly generous, leaving us with brownies, a chocolate Easter egg, milk and Prosecco. We had a peaceful and enjoyable Easter weekend here. National Trust Fell Foot Park is just a 5-minute walk away, and there are several easy hikes right on the doorstep, including Gummer’s Howe and Stavely Fell. The hosts highly recommended the delicious Sunday roast at the Mason Arms (a 10-minute drive). It has a lovely terrace with stunning views to enjoy in the sunshine. The cottage was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Our entire stay was flawless. We would highly recommend LOVEDAY cottage and would definitely return.

What a beautiful place. Located on the lake shore. The cottage is beautiful, very traditional with modern touches. We all had an amazing time, Great location for trips in and around the area. All in all very impressed. And thank you for the additional touches 😊

Amazing place with awesome hosts. Mark and Deborah. They were great with communication, always responsive and helpful with local recommendations. My family and I had an amazing time at Maple leaf cottage. The house was immaculately clean and well decorated. Great access to swimming pool my kids enjoyed every minute of it. Will definitely visit Maple leaf cottage again.

Just wow. What a beautiful place, and even more wonderful hosts, Mark and Ruth. Staying here felt like stepping back in time, bringing back nostalgic memories of summer trips to the Lakes as a child. It’s a warm, traditional, and welcoming place, perfect for families or couples looking for a peaceful getaway. The hot tub and sauna were fantastic, properly heated and well-maintained, a cut above the lukewarm versions we’ve experienced elsewhere. The grounds are truly stunning: expansive gardens, a forest and stream for kids to explore, and even a private stretch of beach on a secluded part of Lake Windermere. It’s just far enough from Bowness to enjoy the tranquility, but close enough for an easy drive or quick taxi ride into town. Truly a special place. We couldn’t recommend it more!

We had a fantastic time at the Wren, beautiful views, my cockerpoo Marley thought he was in heaven, having breakfast on the patio with views over the lake was bliss, lovely walks, would definitely go back next year👍👍👍

My family & I have just had a lovely few days staying at this property. The cottage & grounds are beautiful with lots of flora & fauna - generous lawn to the front, lake & terrace to the rear & side, flower-filled borders throughout, all surrounded by fields, woodland & birdsong. We enjoyed using the hot tub overlooking the lake, a really special setting. It’s all very private & tranquil. The cottage itself is spacious & cosy, with thoughtful touches throughout (comfy beds, robes, well-stocked log burners), plenty of room for our family of four, plus dog (bonus - pet friendly!) & a lovely lounge to relax in after biking & walking all day. The kitchen was well-equipped, though we didn’t do any cooking. The location is great too – secluded but close enough to nearby villages. We’d definitely recommend having a car. Hosts were nice & friendly, easy to communicate with & quick to respond when contacted. All in all, a wonderful stay & we’d highly recommend to others. Thank you!

A wonderful place to stay. Just outside Keswick but a lovely walk into town with the dog! Great location to visit so many beautiful places. Has all the equipment you need, lovely enclosed garden and amazing to have a washing machine. We've already booked to come back next year 😃
