The Heights Reviews

Great house in a great location. The top two floors are perfect. Very well furnished, great kitchen and nice touches like some kitchen roll, sponge, leftover washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets all of which we normally take with us!

The Heights is a Fantastic property in a perfect location for visiting all the beautiful places that the Lake District has to offer. Its located within walking distance of Bowness on Windermere town centre where youll find plenty of shops, cafs, pubs and restaurants. Youll also find the open top bus and boats doing day trips on Lake Windermere. The property had everything you could possible need, the beds were really comfy and with 2 car parking spaces it was perfect. We did have a problem with the water draining away in the shower & sink on the 1st floor. It was not too much of a problem, but the water did come over the shower tray a couple of times when having a shower making the floor a little wet as the water couldnt drain away quick enough. We would highly recommend this property and wouldnt hesitate coming back again in the future. Thank you.

Great location & view, complete with all requirements needed

Stayed here multiple times. Very practical accommodation with 2 parking spaces a real benefit in this area. There are lovely views of the Lake from the sitting room and kitchen on the top floor. Beware that there are 2 sets of steep stairs to the top floor but there is self contained accommodation on the ground floor for anyone who can't do stairs. Comfortable, warm and well equipped. The standard of cleaning on arrival was excellent. We had a small maintenance problem and the process of reporting could be improved. There is no direct option for such a problem. The 'chat' didn't work at all and even stated that I was not the name on the booking which of course I was! Such admin needs real improvement.

Fabulous house, well equipped and clean. The views were great. Our family enjoyed our stay. The location is close to centre and quiet.

Joanne

Property in a great location with lots of amenities on the doorstep and good parking.

We were returning guests so knew what to expect but I still think this is a perfect place to stay for a Lakes break. Beautiful living area at the top of the house with stunning views of Lake Windermere and the surrounding hills from both front and back. Three good sized double bedrooms with an additional kitchen on the ground floor. Car parking for 2 cars. Situated in Bowness but set back just enough to offer easy access to the delights of the town inc. shops, pubs and eateries and the lake but the solitude of this idyllic area when you shut the door. Great walks from the doorstep and easy access to the rest of the Lake District by car or bus. A truly wonderful place to stay.

Great location with parking for 2 cars. The ground floor bedroom has a musty smell and radiators need bleeding as they only heat up half way Water pressure not good and shower totally lost water on a couple of occasions . First floor bathroom shower looks old and in need of a refurb. Generally the property appears clean but look more closely under chairs and along skirting boards etc, the property could do with a deep clean. Kitchen is well equipped but does lack cupboard and drawer space. Freezer is located on ground floor which is 2 flights of stairs and ideally should be located in kitchen on the first floor. It is a self catering property after all. the beds are relatively comfortable but the bed on the bed on the ground floor has a huge dip in it.
