House vacation rentals in Bowness-on-Windermere

We had a lovely stay at Francesca's home to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. 6 adults and 3 children were easily accommodated, and the space allowed us to have a fun catch-up. Fran's printed information sheets were great, and allowed us to make the most of our time there. Friendly, responsive host. We hope to be back!

Home from home, lovely welcome basket of goodies, will definitely be back

Fabulous lodge, beautifully decorated for Christmas with a lovely festive welcome pack waiting for us on arrival. The beds were comfy and a good size unlike other lodges we've stayed in. Peaceful site which is close to plenty of restaurants and other amenities. Good communication from the host. We had a perfect family Christmas staying here and enjoyed it so much, we've already booked another stay.

Lovely house exactly as described. Wonderful place to spend a few days with family. Quality of the finish is great and the house has everything you could need. Hamper on arrival was a lovely surprise. Communication from R&H excellent. Overall, I really couldn’t recommend the house enough for a trip to the Lakes

We had a great weekend at Fir Garth. The house was well equipped for our group of 10: Good sized en-suite bedrooms with comfy beds and cosy duvets, a really well equipped kitchen ( we did lots of cooking), the main living was a great sized space, a projector, games, an extra snug room, outdoor space etc. The location was excellent, pub and shop within walking distance, excellent walks in the area, a beautiful view, quiet, easily accessible. We all agreed we would definitely come to the house again.

We went to Cathy’s place for a girly weekend away and her house was absolutely stunning! Was spotlessly clean & Cathy was so responsive with any questions or queries we had. The kitchen was fully equipped & we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

Family of 4 stayed 3 nights in October 2024 and it was just what we needed. Had some beautiful long walks along the beach. The caravan was home from home, clean and cosy. It had everything you could want for cooking a simple breakfast to Sunday Roast. Clean and respectful surroundings around the park. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Lingmell is a perfect place to stay - perched on a quite street above bustling and workmanlike Ambleside with steep but easy access to local shops & cafes as well as nearby walks and the park. Unassuming from the front, it opens up to elevated views over the town and Loughrigg Fell opposite - you could spend all day just watching the weather and the hills. But you can't...there is so much to do: walks, waterfalls, coffee shops, Zefirelli's (for cinema & jazz), boats on Lake Windermere...everywhere is pretty close. And finally, if you have the energy, there is the pool and spa, run by the entertaining management team! And Garth is always at hand if you need anything...a big 'Thank You' from us!

Fantastic property, amazing facilities and very close to local amenities. David responded very quickly to any queries and was very helpful.

First time we used a airbnb and what a good place to start with. Easy flexible check in. Kelly communicated well. Thanks for your hospitality

Beautiful house in a great location a short walk from Keswick. Modern and high end finish to the house and had everything we needed for our stay. We visit Keswick on a regular basis and this has been one of our best visits yet!

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!

I had a wonderful relaxing stay with my elderly parents. Georgie gave me so much information and loads of tips during the week, and generally was super friendly and helpful. Her place was warm, welcoming, and very well kitted out for a family week. The location in Bowness village is ideal, just on the edge of the busy tourist area only a few minutes walk away, and very close to everything. The bus stop is right outside the guest house which is spot on for the 599 which goes around the Windermere and Grasmere area and is a great sight-seeing option. Thanks Georgie for a lovely stay, highly recommend your lovely place and hospitality!

Our little family of 3 absolutely loved our stay. The view from the living room is amazing and very cosy with the wood stove. Very comfortable and well thought out space with everything you need. Will definitely be back! thanks!

Excellent place to stay. With parking not a problem. Located right between Windermere & Bowness

Really lovely accommodation in an excellent location, thanks so much for a wonderful stay.

We had the most wonderful 2-night stay at Gornal Ground House in the Lake District. The house was absolutely beautiful – full of character, spotlessly clean, and incredibly peaceful. It was the perfect base for exploring the Lakes, and the views were stunning. Everything was exactly as described, and we felt right at home. A truly relaxing getaway – we’d love to return!

Fantastic stay. Sara was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. House is a great location, easy to get to from the motorway and 5 minutes walk from the beach. House had everything we needed for 6 adults, 3 kids and a dog travelling from opposite ends of the UK. It was like a home away from home. Good kitchen and bathrooms and large, nicely decorated bedrooms, living room and dining room. Drive big enough for 3 cars and enclosed garden. Lots of recommendations of things to do in the local area.

An absolutely amazing place. We found ourselves at home and with all the convenient amenities required for a great holiday. Very spacious and situated in a perfect location. Above all, Brenda was simply amazing, taking time to explain everything and giving us excellent recommendations. She was so helpful and always contactable. We will certainly be returning to this beautiful cottage.

Could not recommend this place more. Just returned from a short break with my family at this stunning home. Hosts were friendly and helpful, location perfect and the home was comfortable and well equipped. Gardens and views stunning! We will be back!

We were two friends meeting in Keswick for the Theatre By the Lake Book Festival and the location was perfect for arrival by bus from Penrith Railway Station and for walking into Keswick along the old railway line. The house is comfortable, clean and very well equipped. It suited us perfectly and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

This home is simply amazing and a real privilege to be able to stay there and enjoy the beautiful views and amenities. Just perfect! Kate is an excellent host and her home is a real gem

We had a fantastic weekend away with friends in Upper Oak House. The house is beautiful and very well equipped, the hot tub being an added bonus. The house was spotless and cleaned to a very high standard. It’s in a great location with Windermere high street, with its great range of shops and restaurants just a 5 minute walk away. Bowness is a 25 minute walk away but there are regular buses which only take 5 minutes. We will definitely be back!

Three of us stayed here to tackle the Three Peaks, and it was perfect. Near shops and pubs, and easy to find. A lovely, clean, cozy cottage with a great host who replied quickly. I'd stay again if I was ever mad enough to do the Three Peaks again.
