Lake House Loft Reviews

Suzanne
Wonderful stay, everything we needed for a great holiday. Fabulous apartment, beautiful gardens. Thankyou
This is a Beautiful apartment, clean and with most items you would need each day. Easy reach of the town centre and local facilities. The local marina serves amazing food and to can use this route to walk into town. We stayed between Christmas and new year it was disappointing that there was no Christmas decorations we were told a few weeks beforehand and also the lack of a washing machine. We also found that it was very cold during the day as the heating went off and there was no way of controlling this as it was controlled by HIVE. We had to go and stay with relatives on a few cold days simply to stay warm. However we would stay here again but maybe in the summer when its not so cold.
Maureen
Fantastic apartment. Comfortable, spacious, set in lovely surroundings. The owners have thought of everything you might possibly need, including loads of games indoors and outdoors, garden chairs, books and loads of local information. All you need to take is toiletries and food, foul, picnic bags. The dushwasher was great as there were 6 of us. We chose this for EV charging very easy and very reasonable. Loads of parking for our apartment 2 cars a visitor. The location is a good 20 min walk from Bowness and part of the main road has no footpath, so be aware of this. We would definitely stay here again.
This outstanding location offers breathtaking views in every directionone overlooking a beautiful lake, the other framing a green garden. Each morning greets you with the gentle sounds of nature and a delightful variety of birds and wildlife. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed for everyday cooking, as well as tools suitable for professional use. Whether you're young, old, or somewhere in between, this peaceful place is ideal for anyone seeking comfort without compromising convenience. You'll enjoy easy access to the city center, where shops, cafs, and restaurants await just moments away.
Alison
This is a beautifully furnished, stylish, yet comfortable accommodation with delightful grounds. Impeccably clean and well maintained. Its in a great location for walking to the ferry to the other side of Lake Windemere where there are lovely walks. It was great to have somewhere to park the car and leave it for the few days we were there. Highly recommended.
Christopher
We had a lovely stay at Lakehouse loft. It was very well equipt and comfortable. Convenient location to be able to walk into Bowness and beyond. Will be recommending and hope to come back soon.

We booked for a get together reunion with friends and were delighted with the apartment. An amazing place to stay. We will definitely have a return visit. Thank you
We loved staying at the Lake House Loft and found the accommodation to be clean, comfortable and spacious. The grounds are beautiful and it is well located for exploring the lake district.
A beautifully clean, comfortable & well equipped holiday let, with an ample welcome gift basket of which was a lovely touch. However, in my profesional experience, I would cut down on this & add at least 2 x more toilet rolls until your guests are settled in & know the local whereabouts of shops etc. As it is a bit of a walk to the first shop. With just 2 x toilet rolls between 6 x people is a bit stingy. The views from the loft house apartment are pleasant too. Overall all, I highly recommend & we would come here to stay again. Thank you!
Sharon
We loved the space, light, decor and gardens at Lake house loft. Such a lovely position and nice walk into Bowness. It was so clean and welcoming. Only thing I missed, having a washing machine it was ok going without this for the four days but with being in the country and walking muddy tracks it would of been nice to get use of a washing machine. I would return as we loved the place but for no longer than four days due to the above. Thanks so much for letting us stay
Cheryl
A fabulous apartment . Great decor and very cosey. Nice views from the main bedroom .
Rebekah
A really well equipped apartment and a welcome basket which was a generous touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, well located for walking into Bowness but giving us a quiet space to relax as well. Saw deer in the wild area next to the apartment! Would definitely recommend to friends & family.
We loved the way that the apartment was furnished so colourfully and thoughtfully pictures, cushions, gorgeous turquoise sofas! etc really making it feel like a home. And the general layout of the apartment is lovely. It was clean, warm and quiet. The garden is beautiful and the dogs loved running in the wooded corner. It was easy to take them out to do their business morning and night! Loved the lobster picture! THANKYOU very Much. Ruth Blundell
Great venue, clean, comfortable, dog friendly, we didnt want to leave and return home.
Absolutely fantastic place, will happily go back. As our first holiday as a new family this was a great location to explore the lakes
We had a great week visiting the Lakes. The apartment was really lovely & perfect for us & our dog. It had lots of space, peaceful, nice decor, great location, cosy & had everything you could need and more. It was a great place to return to each evening. I would love to stay there again and have already recommended it to friends and family.
Victoria
Perfect location, beautiful apartment, literally has everything you need & more! We loved it & will be back.
Alison
Lovely apartment and has everything you need whilst on holiday. Well equipped kitchen and lots of info on walks and board games for a wet day. We did have an issue with hot water but it was promptly dealt with Sykes and owners also contacted me. Dog friendly and car parking.
Sylvia
We had an excellent week at the apartment everything was well presented and superbly comfortable beds. The proximity to Bowness made for an early morning walk each day which our dog thoroughly enjoyed! The downside for us was the 4 flights of steps with all our luggage and the road noise in the front bedroom!
Yao Jie
Excellent apartment in great location, the apartment is beautifully furnished, has all the essentials, the beds are comfortable, excellent shower, couldn't ask for more.
Danton
As a holiday let we highly recommend this property. It is spacious, clean, well decorated and well kept. It is very quiet and yet and easy walk into Bowness. We could easily live in this property with it spacious gardens and easy to walk to the lake shore.
