Lake house vacation rentals in Windermere

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Abbots Moss. It was last minute (same day booking) and everything was ready and in order. The house was definitely a home away from home which is exactly what I am looking for. We have two children and a very well behaved golden - all loved the location and the house. The grounds and lake are exquisite and so peaceful. The lounge area was beautifully decorated with sofas I would purchase for my own home. Linens are also something I look for and the beds were all lovely. We enjoyed the area, eating out at some local recommendations, visiting Hadrian's Wall, completing our first family Wainwright summit! Thank you Tamar. We would love to return!

Lindsay was super helpful from the beginning of our communication and during our stay. The house is lovely and the comfiest beds we've ever had in an Airbnb! Towels were provided and the shower was epic - the men struggled with the low beam a bit but still loved the rainfall and hand held combo. We'll be back for a short stay for sure 😊.

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

Really enjoyable stay in a beautifully kept lodge. Lots of amenities nearby and surrounded by picturesque scenery full of cute lambs! The lakeside view is perfect and we really enjoyed showing our little one the swans and ducks. The living space is really big and plenty of room for babies on the move. Abigail is lovely and very responsive

Fantastic accomodation, right on the lake with loads of thoughtful treats on arrival. Just what we wanted! Very close to bustling Bowness but also a short hop to tranquility of west shore. We enjoyed kayaking around the islands from our doorstep and took bikes on car ferry and visited Wray castle. Our teenage lads loved the footgolf 5mins from house too. Loads of great walks from nearby. We drove to grasmere (20 min) and did Fairfield horseshoe. Perfect base for all the family. Thanks Helen!

The accommodation is really comfortable. Amole seating in the living space. Lovely dining area very airy feeling. Bedrooms and bedding are comfortable and clean. The layout is great for families and the outside spaces are interesting and beautiful. It is set into a hillside and the drive way is steep and can be a little scrabbly. However a minute of walking puts you lakeside of Ullswater which is stunning and clean. 10 minutes walk gets you to Glenridding if you need essentials or a cold pint or glass of wine. Overall I would give it a “I’d stay again for sure” out of 10.

Sams place was even better than the photos show! The location is stunning and Claughton Hall and the servants quarters were perfect for a lovely weekend getaway. Sam was really attentive when messaged and responded really quickly to any questions we had. Overall, I would recommend this a premium place for anyone wanting a break to just relax and recharge.

A lovely, well-maintained caravan in a great location within the marina. Great views over the lake and a handy location to the bar area. The living area, kitchen/dining area and bedrooms were well looked after and was like a home away from home for our break. The kids loved the mod-cons such as WiFi, smart TV and Alexa! We appreciated the modern kitchen appliances, huge fridge freezer and dishwasher...I feel old just typing that. Thanks for a great Easter weekend.

Stayed here with family for a wedding in the local area, well equipped house with everything you need. Would recommend and would stay again if we ever need to

Delightful place to stay. Comfortable, warm and well-equipped. Good parking. Friendly and helpful hosts. Perfect for exploring the Lake District.

We had such a fabulous stay at Carole’s place in Warton. The lodge was immaculate and so well equipped with everything we needed. The location was quiet, private and set around a lovely small lake. 30 minute drive to Windermere and 15 minutes to Lancaster. Would highly recommend and look forward to staying again in the future.

Lovely cottage set on the hillside above Loweswater, a quiet part of the Lake District. Garden has great views, and a picnic area for alfresco dining, the two ponies in the neighbouring field are very friendly. Inside there’s a well equipped kitchen diner and lounge with TV and log burner (plenty of fuel provided). Beds are super comfy. Alex was very helpful and kind, a great host.

Lovely accommodation thank you

John was very helpful and easily accessible throughout our stay, making everything smooth and stress-free. The check-in and check-out process was seamless. The property was perfect for our family, providing a comfortable base to explore the beautiful Lake District. Highly recommended!

David is a great host and the house is in a perfect location for us visiting family. Everything was perfect and has everything we needed. Lovely place, spotlessly clean and in a great area to visit the beautiful surrounding areas. Would recommended and will definitely return. Thanks David & Karen

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.

The house was perfect for our stay. It met and exceeded our requirements. Nigel answered any queries quickly and fully. The house was, for us in a perfect location. Only 5 minutes walk from the town centre, 15 minutes from the Derwent Water ferry. We stayed at Mona House for 7 days and did not have to use the car once. We visited and climbed several interesting walks. Keswick is a lovely town and contains many attractions including restaurants, museums, galleries and of course Derwent Water and the most stunning countryside. The house was the most well equipped we have ever rented. I suppose the question that needs answering is, "Would we stay again?". Absolutely, in a heart beat

Perfect place for a family to stay. Sunset on the beach nearby was stunning! Half hour away from Scaffell Pike. Easy check in. Stefan was very helpful. The conservatory was lovely in the sunshine.

We were delighted with our stay at Fair Rigg (Windermere). There was plenty of space for the 7 of us as the apartment is spread over two floors with generously sized rooms. The lounge and kitchen felt bigger than they appeared in the photos! Everything is finished to a very high standard. You can see Lake Windermere from several windows in the property and there were some charming sheep just across the road. It is a short drive to most destinations including Beatrix Potter's house, Wray Castle, and Ambleside, all of which we visited, and the nearby Windermere pier where you can catch a boat ride on the lake as well as do some shopping. Communication with our host was excellent and very helpful (particularly when we couldn't find the dishwasher tablets or bin bags). We would be very happy to stay again.

Fantastic place to stay, beautiful house and very clean. Enjoyed climbing Skafell and not far to drive there, with a free bus service aswell. The Strands pub served great food and a lovely country pub.

Annabel is a great person and very helpful. She suggested few places to visit, which comes out worthy to visit. She is very responsive with all of our questions. I definitely want to visit this place again soon. It’s a perfect getaway from crowds and spend some time with nature without any disturbances.

Lovely warm house. Comfy beds. Kitchen equipped with everything we needed. Nice and clean. Very close to the town centre of Bowness but also very quiet residential area. We had a lovely time, thank you!

Great stay with the family. Parking good. House was lovely and clean. Good location. Small problem with kitchen tap which was sorted very quickly

Charming big house in an incredible location We spent a week-long family vacation in this house and really enjoyed it. The location directly at the lake was amazing. Although it is very remote, we hardly used the car as there are a lot of nice walks you can do from the house. Additionally, there is a jetty just two minutes walking distance from the house where a ferry to Keswick stops. The house is nice and very large. while the kitchen is very cosy, the furniture in the rest of the house is rather basic and not particularly charming or stylish. It's all about the location.
