Wonderful location views from terrace looking Windernmere comfortable and homely.
The view from Tanna Hill was unbeatable. From its high standpoint you can see Bowness bustling below and beautiful Lake Windermere. The property was extremely comfortable, spacious and well equipped. We definitely want to stay here again.

Love this cottage this is our second holiday. We love the amazing views from the lounge and balcony.
Maxine
This is our 2nd trip to Tanna Hill. It has a beautiful outlook across Lake Windermere. Very comfy beds. It has everything you need to enjoy your holiday . It was nice to have your own bathroom too. It has a rather steep driveway so if you are walking back to the house bear this in mind. This is a Gem of a find and will be back again. There is a nice walk behind the house. Not too far. At the top you get a 365 view which is breath taking.

Another great stay in Tanna Hill. Good to see a new shower in the downstairs shower room. The views from this house are stunning, and the fact it is well out of the hustle and bustle of Bowness is a huge advantage. A wonderful patio with lake views to have barbecues if youre lucky with the weather. Be aware there is a steep drive up to the house. One of our favourite Lakeland places to stay. We have already booked our next stay.
