Is Post Knott Lodge Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
The cinema room with Sonos sound system provides entertainment for all ages. Kids can use the gym equipment under supervision or enjoy the matted space for activities.

This mansion suits couples travelling together rather than romantic getaways for two. The scale works best for groups sharing the six bedrooms. Panoramic lake views from the Windermere suite create a special setting. The sauna and steam room offer private relaxation. Walk to lakeside restaurants in 10 minutes. The undercover terrace with wood burner provides atmospheric evening drinks. However, the property's size and facilities target larger groups rather than intimate couple breaks.

If you need pet-friendly accommodation in Bowness-on-Windermere, you'll need to search for alternative properties. Many nearby cottages and lodges do welcome dogs with enclosed gardens. The owners maintain this policy to protect the property's condition and appeal to guests with allergies.

Post Knott Lodge Reviews

Natalie
We had a fabulous stay and we would highly recommend Post Knotts Lodge. We were grateful for the welcome pack and the goodies that were left for us to enjoy amd appreciated the ease of communication with the owner.
Susan
This house is amazing. The decor, the views and everything about the property are outstanding and well worth the cost. The welcome package and other extras were a nice touch. All communication with the property owners was very easy and they were very helpful. All my guests had a wonderful time and would book this property again.
Emily
The house is absolutely beautiful. All the furnishing are high quality, comfortable and cosy. Decent cooking facilities- could do with a few more bits for keen cooks. Great and easy 10 min or less walk to the town or to the lake side.
Kane
We had a fantastic weekend in this beautiful property! The location is absolutely amazing, with breathtaking scenery all around. The house itself is stunningâ??beautifully decorated with a cozy lodge feel that immediately made us feel at home. The space was impressive, with plenty of room for everyone, and the bedrooms were all furnished to a very high standard, which added a lovely touch of luxury. The kitchen and dining area were especially impressive and became a perfect spot for gathering. A few additions, like a hot tub, games room, or play area, would make it even more family-friendly, but overall, we had an incredible stay and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended!
Michael
We stayed at this beautiful holiday home in Bowness last week and had an absolutely fantastic time. The house was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was also perfect, just a short walk from the town centre. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We would highly recommend this holiday home to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.
