Vacation rentals with lake access in Yorkshire

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!

Marc, the host, was extremely helpful and responsive. He ensured we had all the necessary information prior to arrival. There was an issue with the first bathroom toilet, however Marc immediately offered for someone to come and have a look at it. The place was very peaceful and had a beautiful setting. It was cosy and we felt right at home! We only stayed for one night but we will definitely be returning! Lovely place and beautiful surroundings Thankyou!

What a fantastic place! David and Gillian were the perfect hosts. The location is exceptional, with fantastic views over Lake Windermere and all within walking distance of Ambleside. Would 100% recommend and can't wait to visit on our trip to The Lakes. A great find!

Beautifully furnished house, perfect for what we all wanted. Location even better than i expected, no need to use the car depending how far you want to venture., lovely shops, walks and restaurants. Shame we could only stay the 2 nights so will need to come back when we get chance. Thanks Suzanne

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!

We stayed for 2 nights over the Easter holidays. The house was clean and well stocked! Keswick is walkable which was great for us. Lots of tips given prior to check in.

This was our 2nd stay at this lovely house. The location is nice & quiet & perfect for walking in the surrounding area & for the village pubs, shops etc. The house is very clean, comfortable & warm & is well kitted out with everything you need. Lovely bathrooms with good showers. Thanks Brad & Sue!

Excellent accommodation - large, spacious & great location. Central in bowness. Host was responsive and sent through all instructions required. Would / will return.

"We had a fantastic 1-day stay with 5 members at this place. The host was wonderful and accommodating, and the club facilities were a highlight for us. We especially enjoyed the swimming pool and had a great time there. Overall, we had a memorable experience and would highly recommend this place to other guests looking for a relaxing getaway." Ashik.

Perfect place to explore The Lakes, quiet retreat from the busy main street. Close to all amenities and the beautiful lake.

Simon's flat is beautiful, clean and well kept! The surrounding area is idyllic. It was perfect for our stay within easy reach to Lark Lane and lovely park walks on the doorstep. Simon greeted us on arrival and had detailed written instructions / information to make our stay run smoothly. We would love to come and stay again! Thank you.

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!

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!

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.

Beautiful place, it was my first time we visit sedburgh , great location , Clean house we loved.

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

Such a lovely cute bolt hole that’s perfect for exploring Ambleside & the Lakes. Clean, comfy and quiet and everything you need! Tracy was very helpful and responsive and everything was exactly as described.

We stayed at Melsmere Lodge for a long weekend. Knowing the area well, I was so surprised to uncover this gem of a holiday home in an idyllic location. The Lodge was stunning along with its surroundings, clean, peaceful and very private but also close enough to local shops, restaurants etc. Hosts were brilliant, excellent communication, instructions and even left fresh eggs and milk for our arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our 3 kids didn’t want to leave, they enjoyed it that much. If we are back down the Wirral for another trip, Melsmere Lodge would be our first port of call. Thanks again to Greg and Lucy for making our trip so memorable.

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.

Fantastic stay. Zeta was a great host and was very quick to sort out any small issues, and this place ticked so many boxes. Peaceful, comfortable, relaxing, great bathroom, access to swimming pool/sauna/jacuzzi/steam room…I could go on. There isn’t too much in the immediate surroundings so you need to drive to get anywhere, but if you want a rest, whilst still being able to work and enjoy home comforts this place is perfect. Hope to return here one day.

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!

Thank you for providing such a beautiful, peaceful, and inspiring sanctuary for people to enjoy this wonderful area. The check-in process was effortless, with the key conveniently left on the door—completely hassle-free. Booking the boat with Rob was straightforward, and his clear, brilliant demonstration made it easy for us to operate the boat independently. A big thanks to Jonathon and Rob for making our experience so seamless and enjoyable!

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!
