Boundary House Reviews

Lindsey
We were so impressed with Boundary House! Possibly the loveliest house weve stayed in. Beautiful, comfortable, stylish and a great location. Highly recommend
Gwenda
The property was lovely and had everything you could possibly need. The playground nearby was a bonus for the grandchildren. Easy walking distance to Windermere town even with small children.
We just want to thank you for a fantastic stay at the boundary We had an amazing stay and it really was the prime location! Close enough to everything but with the peace and quiet of the park. Lots to offer. We will definitely be back
A very comfortable and pleasantly decorated and furnished house. It has a great outlook and is in a peaceful position, with Windermere and Bowness within walking distance. It really does need a larger frying pan given it can accommodate 6 people.
Lovely situation, very clean and very well equipped. Childrens play park recreational area close by first class. Water pressure in main bathroom shower and squeaky bathroom door which disturbed others at night small gripes. Parking not as described tree stump in the way of one space and directions to locate property obviously done without being there in person. Not essential but the property would be greatly enhanced by another setee in the big empty space in the dining room which would offer comfortable alternatives to those seeking quiet pastimes when TV in use. Would return.
Harrison
Extremely clean, well equipped and modern furniture. Fantastic location with access to both Windermere and Bowness on foot. Nice walks on your doorstep. We loved our stay. I think the only things to be aware of is that your second car needs to be small if you are coming with two and the showers were very clean and warm but the power was pretty woeful. If you only have one car and can put up with a slow shower its a fantastic place to stay with easy access to walks and towns of the lakes.
What a fabulous house! ! The cleanliness of the property was fantastic with fresh bedding & towels. The property felt homely which made our stay even better. The kitchen is well equipped with various potspans to make delicious home cooked meals. The beds were super comfortable & all beds had protectors on the mattress & pillows which was a huge positive for us. Each room had plenty of space for clothes to be stored. The small back yard was excellent after a walk to take boots off & wash our dog before coming into the house via the back door. The house overlooks a lovely green area where there is a parkskate park & a great place to exercise dogs. Although its a popular area its still quiet. Great access to Windermere town only a short walk away.
Great property and close to Windermere we enjoyed our stay here over Christmas. Nice kitchen and large dining table to cook in and lots of room in general. Parking is a bit tight though we managed to fit 2 cars out the front. Lovely location and would definitely stay again!
Elizabeth
Great property and location. Walking distance to Windermere. Everything was as described. Would highly recommend for a stay in the lakes!
Nicola
Boundary Cottage was a great find in a great location. House was spotless, hats off to the cleaners and well equipped. Nice back court yard to make the most of the good weather and secure for dogs. The house was advertised as having car parking space for 2 cars but there was only enough space for 1. Only real negative issue was the water pressure in the showers. Would definitely book the house again when returning to this area.
Fantastic, well appointed property, great facilities, amazing location, clean, superb layout, we will return!
Beautiful house with everything you need. Tastefully decorated and lovely view from the window and excellent location for walking to Windermere town centre, Bowness and the lake
Nicola
The house is spacious, very comfortable and decorated lovely throughout. The location is perfect.on a quiet lane with a huge field where cricket matches are held along a great playpark and tennis courts. Its a 10 minute walk into the centre of Windermere and about 20 minutes to Bowness. We will definitely return!
Alexandra
This lovely property was perfect for our break in Windermere. It is beautifully decorated, ideally located only 5mins outside of town, and great as a base for exploring the Lakes. We loved the view of the green from the front window, where we saw football matches and cricket practice. We would highly recommend this property.
Katherine
Lovely house and so well decorated and organized. Beds are super comfy and good internet. Fun location with short walk into one town and a convenience store and small cafe about one minute away. Only suggestion is to bring things like hand soap none in either bathroom or kitchen and laundry pods etc. Even lacked cleaning supplies which for a week would be nice to have. Lovely place though and warm!
Saskia
A fantastic cottage, comfy, clean and warm. Located close to Windermere and it's amenities. To be recommended.
Rebecca
My family recently stayed at The Boundary with our friends and their daughter over the New Year. The house is perfectly located and only a 10 minute walk max to the centre of Windermere. Im Not sure if the description of the property adds that there is a large field and park at the front for the children. My little boy loved the park! There is a small cafe at the end of the lane we didnt try here that looks lovely and also a premier shop incase you need any further groceries. The house itself was very clean and you can see it was recently renovated. All amenities and board games are also new. They do provide tea, coffee, biscuits and cleaning products like washing up liquid and towels. Everything that was needed was provided for a short stay at this property which made our stay very easy. The bedrooms were small and cosy but enough and all that was needed. Bedding and towels were fresh and clean. We couldnt find an iron or board so unsure if these are provided. The only downfall to the property is the pressure of the water in the showers. It wasnt the best but was adequate Overall I would highly recommend here for a lovely stay in the lakes, we will for sure be back.
