Chase View Reviews

Bernard Charles
14th June, 2026 We have just returned after spending a wonderful week at the flat at Chase View. It proved to be a very convenient and comfortable base and had all that was needed and more. Clearly, the very thoughtful owners, have gone to great lengths to provide all the requirements for their guests to enjoy their stay. Lovely views and very quiet location but within easy reach of everything in the area. We had a 94 year old in our party and although there are two lots of two steps, leading to the property, we all managed very well care needed of course. Would definitely like to return sometime in the future. Thank you Nick and Sarah. Ruth Norman
We found the property to be spotlessly clean and it looked newly decorated. We enjoyed the amazing view and spent many hours sat looking out at the fields, sheep, cows and a Grouse who we named Gary. It was very hot so we went straight out and bought a fan, which we could not have managed without. Holiday Perfect!
This was our third stay at Chase View and we are already planning our next visit! ! It is a lovely property, with amazing views and is wellpositioned for visiting many wonderful places within the Lakes. It is wellmaintained, always clean and very comfortable to return to after a day of walking. Would highly recommend.
Edward
Perfect. Perfect. We couldn't have asked for more. Such beautiful, tasteful accommodation with wonderful views. We loved everything about it and would definitely return. Very different from the highly rated house of horrors at Yew Beck, Ickenthwaite that we rented from you last year.
My son and i came for the 3rd anniversary of my husband passing away. We set off balloons at the time he died. We had such a fantasic time. This cottage was perfect in every way. The owners had thought of everything even electric blankets to keep us warm. I would highly recommend this place and would defo go back. X
Lovely place, great location.
Stuart
The pictures certainly didnt disappoint, absolutely stunning views and beautiful accommodation. We are two couples and a dog and there was everything we could possibly need. Warm and comfortable with stunning views in our favourite area. Thank you
Beautiful apartment, amazing views, peaceful location close to all attractions. Had a lovely midweek break.
Louise
We had an amazing time at The Chase, its so peaceful and the views are breathtaking. The location was a fantastic base for our first time in The Lakes, and a brilliant range of books, maps, and local suggestions were provided. Our minor feedback would be to add soft closing hinges or felt stoppers to stop the banging of the kitchen cupboard doors & to check maintainance of dishwasher which was making noises but improved a little after salt was added Would definately recommend. Such a unique and beautiful place to stay.
Gillian
A great stay in South Lakes, wonderful weather was a bonus. Well equipped property and the views from the outdoor area are fantastic. Good size car park space and ample parking for a second car if needed.
Alison
Well equipped vacation home, excellent cleanliness, fantastic views, great location but very peaceful!
We found everything we needed and enjoyed the space very much
Graham
A delightful light, clean and comfortable property with excellent views from the lounge. All necessary facilities were provided. Had a very enjoyable holiday. The surface of the private car park was excellent but access via the entrance to the pub car park required ground maintenance due to potholes and rocky surface, although this may be outside of the owners control.
Cathryn
A beautiful rural location in a tranquil setting wit stunning views. Perfect to chill and relax and yet within easy reach of all the Lakes popular landmarks both inland and coastal. The property itself is immaculate in presentation very inviting comfortable and well equipped . Fabulous holiday thank you.
Lovely Holiday Apartment location view lovely. The Apartment was very spacious, really well equipped really clean. Really well looked after on finding the Toaster was not working it was changed really quickly whilst we were out. I love the homely touches, Herdy Sheep mugs Lamp, Placemats with Lake District Walks on! All in all a lovely break weather could have been better but it is The Lakes! We will be back as we loved the Apartment
We had a lovely quiet stay. Great views and ideally placed for the southern lakes. Would definitely recommend this cottage.
What a beautiful apartment at Chase View. Spotlessly clean and the owners had thought of everything to make it a homefromhome. We never tired of looking out at the beautiful fields and sheep and had lots of local walls around the area. The apartment is a stones throw from The Hare and Hounds pub, which had amazing food, or only a 10 minute walk up a bit of a hill to The Masons Arms. So peaceful and yet near to 2 pubs for food and only a 10 minute drive to a shop for supplies. Only 10 minutes in the car as well to Lakeside where you have the sea life centre, the Windermere Cruises or boat hire, or the steam train. A really beautiful place to visit and we will be back! Thank you!
Maureen
Such a lovely apartment in a peaceful location. We have been visiting the Bowland Bridge area for many years and have stayed in several different accommodations all of which have been good but Chase View has become a firm favourite.
Great stay. Re booked for Sept. Only one ask, a rail to help get out of bath would be helpful to us oldies! Not a deal breaker though.
Superb apartment, great views and with everything we needed for a lovely break in the Lakes.
Amazing apartment, so well equipped all the little touches were thought of and we had a great stay. Would not hesitate to recommend and hope to stay again.
Really lovely property clean and comfortable, good facilities and nicely accessible to the south of the Lake District. Would definitely recommend and will be looking to have a return visit in the future
Gillian
A truly gorgeous property with magnificent views. The cottage is fully equipped with everything you might need. Spotlessly clean, comfy beds, as much hot water as you need a true home from home.
Louise
The best property we have stayed since we have had a dog 6 years. Cleanliness and comfort were excellent. Views were magnificent. Would highly recommend and will be back.
Vivien
Absolutely wonderful accommodation wonderful scenery and comfortable rooms will be back for a longer stay
Elizabeth
We had a lovely stay. The apartment was beautiful and very clean and comfortable. The setting was so peaceful and the view was amazing. Really enjoyed it and would definitely like to go back again.
Joanne
The property was clean, comfortable, very well equipped, beautiful views. We had a lovely stay. Thank you
It was a beautiful cottage in a lovely location. The owners had gone to a lot of trouble to create a very welcoming and well equipped home for our stay. It was provided with everything you could ever wish for and the views were spectacular. I would highly recommend this property it was magnificent!
We had a lovely stay at Chase View. It was close enough to Bowness and Windermere for shopping and also well located for the Lakes in general. It rains a lot in the Lakes but the great views from Chase View more than compensated for the few days we were inside. The Hare and Hounds pub next door was great for a quick drink or a really nice meal
William
Property was fabulous, so clean and comfortable everything we needed was there. The location was excellent so peaceful and quiet we didn't want to come home, will definitely go back.
We thoroughly enjoyed this property and it's so well equipped. The view and location are perfect, and the pub a few steps away is a bonus. Our only slight criticism is that the mattress in the ensuite bedroom may need renewing.
Beautiful property with wonderful views.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chase View. The apartment is very nicely furnished and the kitchen well equipped. The location is a bit further away from the usual tourist areas that we have previously visited and we enjoyed visiting less well known places. Perfect for a relaxing holiday.
Lovely comfortable accommodation with everything you need . Fantastic views ! Info on things to do was most helpful ! Pub within spitting distance kept us well fed . Beautiful location surrounded by sheep & cows & their offspring .
Claire
The perfect base in the perfect location. The apartment is beautifully presented, clean and comfortable. Lots of little extra touches that make it homely and welcoming. The apartment is very well equipped with everything you could need, the spectacular views from every window make it easy to want to stay and simply admire the view. We would highly recommend chase view and would definitely visit stay again.
Suzanne
Chase View is a superb apartment and wowed us from the start. The accommodation was spotless, the beds extremely comfortable and the facilities had everything. The views are breathtaking and were the icing on the cake. We would definitely love to return.
