Beautiful property inside and out, had everything you need for a stay over and right in the middle of Bowness. Best night sleep I’ve had in a very long time.

Our mini moon break straight from getting married and what a great choice we made. The perfect location for a family with young children, the park and beach a stone’s throw away. We had great weather too. The home was spacious and modern with amazing views and sunsets to see. We requested two travel cots in the accommodation and these looked brand new and like they had never been used! Great communication with fast response from Chad and family, both prior and during our stay, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

A well presented family run hotel with excellent service and warm welcome. A great view from Embleton across the valley, ample parking and plenty of outdoor space particularly if you have a dog. The bar/dining area is furnished tastefully with plenty of tables for guests. Access to a pool is a welcomed addition and the kids loved it. The rooms were clean and tastefully presented.

Really lovely, peaceful accommodation. Great space for a family. The kids loved the garden. Having a washing machine & tumble dryer that was easy to use was a great bonus. Exceptionally clean. Couldn't fault this house and will definitely return.

The location was perfect and pub itself is lovely! Most staff were very nice during our stay. Food was lovely, but very overpriced, £17.50 for a cheese and pesto pasta was not value for money as a family, children’s meals £9-£10 with no extras. We found just as nice food much cheaper and value for money in Kendal, Bowness and Windermere town centres. But the food I have to say was very nice & drinks all very good!

Bob was an excellent host who showed us around the property, provided lots of local information for activities for us aa a family and a very useful guide book in the flat packed with information. The flat was impeccable, exceedingly well stocked with towels, kitchenware, toiletries. Not only were tea coffee and fresh milk in the fridge provided but cereal bars hot chocolates and even sweeties for the children. I cannot recommend this find highly enough. Thank you again Bob your generosity was gratefully received.

The views were absolutely breathtaking. The property was clean, cozy, and had all the amenities we needed. A highlight for our family was the extensive collection of board games, which my kid particularly enjoyed. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. The location was perfect, with just a short drive to the lakes and Penrith. I highly recommend this place for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.
