Bowness offers The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction just 0.3 miles away. Lake Windermere boat trips and ice cream shops line the waterfront.

Lawrie

Lovely cottage in excellent location for the town. Probably the most well equipped property we have stayed in

Margaret

This is our third visit to Little Close and it never disappoints. Beautifully decorated, with lots of nice touches. Private parking space and close proximity to shops and restaurants. Iâ??m sure weâ??ll be back!

David

Really happy with cottage it provided us with everything we needed.

Sharron

Lovely cottage, prime location only 6 minutes walk to the lake. Beautiful walk 5 minutes in the other direction with outstanding views. Would definitely recommend!

Marlene

The cottage was very cozy, comfortable and in great location. We would love to stay there again

Neil

Absolutely stunning place to stay, spacious and lovely presented. Location is amazing for Bowness and is a very short walk to all bars and restaurants as well as the lake front. Would highly reccomend and we will definitely stay here again.

Susan

Lovely little cottage, very well presented, clean and warm. Kitchen well equipped with everything necessary and lots of cutlery and crockery. Comfy lounge with plenty of space to spread out and watch a good film after being out and about all day. Beds all very comfortable and everyone slept well. Nice big bath, which we didn't use, and two showers, which were easy to use and had good pressure - watch though as water runs very hot. Around 5mins walk to main street leading to lots of different shops and restaurants and about 10mins to the lake. Have not been to this part of the UK for many years and very much enjoyed our short break to The Lakes.

Ross

Really brilliant family cottage. Cozy and welcoming with lovely decor in a great location. A well equipped kitchen and Comfy beds this cottage was a warm place to return after a day exploring the fells. Would definitely return in a different season.

Helen

Beautiful cottage. Very cosy, excellent location, the owners have thought of everything.

Laura

We had a lovely 2 week stay at the cottage. Very cosy and welcoming, the wood burner was a real plus during the colder nights. Great bonus of dedicated parking, while the property is minutes walk of Bowness, which was brilliant for us as we normally stay in more rural properties.

David

great property in a great location for the lake district and Bowness! parking space and everything you need within the home for a relaxing break. Check in instructions very clear.

Judith

A great holiday cottage in a good location. The cottage was spotlessly clean when we arrived and was very comfortable to stay in. It was very well equipped and the location was great for the lake, walking and water sports.

Jane

Little Close is the best holiday cottage we have stayed in in the UK. The location is great - quiet but within walking distance of the shops, cafes bar etc. The house itself is tastefully decorated throughout and homely. We loved the kitchen opening onto the patio for summer. The cottage was well equipped. The owners have thought of every little detail and comfort. Mr Martin was extremely helpful with the few questions I had. We would highly recommend this cottage.

Clare

Excellent property in an excellent location. Five minutes walk from the centre of Bowness but on a quiet road.

Michael

The stay was excellent. We look forward to booking this cottage again when we visit the Lake District next.

Andrew

Lovely property, fantastic central location to explore the area and yet extremely peaceful place to relax. Good facilities and beautifully maintained it accommodated our family of 6 adults, a baby and a dog very comfortably.

Lisa

Stunning property with great access to Bowness and Winderemere. we will definitely return.

Christina

Overall its luxurious accomodation and being on my own with my little dog allowed to stay it was like a mini home made spa so relaxing in my favourite area Cumbria...loved every minute

Caroline

Beautiful cottage in a great location. Good communication and directions etc.

Marzena

Really lovely the house, well decorated, kitchen had all we needed. Games and xbox were additional bonus especially when you coming with kids and the weather is not what you've hoped for. Its just a few steps from the town centre, probably 10-15min walls downhill to the pier. Parking spot just behind the house. Can absolutely recommend this cottage and definitely will be back here.

Michaela

Lovely decorated holiday home, well equipped and close to amenities. Nice to have small garden area included. Would book again.

Jessica

Little Close is one of the loveliest places Iâ??ve ever stayed. Itâ??s incredibly cosy, beautifully decorated and spacious. Thereâ??s ample storage available, the kitchen, bathrooms and all other common areas are well equipped and have everything you could possibly need available (including a very good range of board games I might add!), and it genuinely felt like a â??home away from home.â? Location wise, you couldnâ??t be closer to the centre of Bowness which is amazing for walking in and getting around, but the house remains so quiet - you wouldnâ??t even know you were that close. If you need a peaceful, comfortable and all around lovely break away I couldnâ??t recommend somewhere more. Itâ??s definitely somewhere Iâ??m coming back to!

Kerri

A lovely stay at a comfortable cottage in an excellent location. Itâ??s well equipped and just a short stroll into town.
