Lake house holiday rentals in Windermere

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Abbots Moss. It was last minute (same day booking) and everything was ready and in order. The house was definitely a home away from home which is exactly what I am looking for. We have two children and a very well behaved golden - all loved the location and the house. The grounds and lake are exquisite and so peaceful. The lounge area was beautifully decorated with sofas I would purchase for my own home. Linens are also something I look for and the beds were all lovely. We enjoyed the area, eating out at some local recommendations, visiting Hadrian's Wall, completing our first family Wainwright summit! Thank you Tamar. We would love to return!

Lindsay was super helpful from the beginning of our communication and during our stay. The house is lovely and the comfiest beds we've ever had in an Airbnb! Towels were provided and the shower was epic - the men struggled with the low beam a bit but still loved the rainfall and hand held combo. We'll be back for a short stay for sure 😊.

Great last minute break away. In a great spot easy to walk into town and the lake. The living space is beautiful and plenty of room for all of us. Overall a lovely home to stay in

The pictures do not do the boathouse justice! Beautiful location to relax and disconnect from everyday life. Directions and check-in instructions were very clear. The provided amenities made it feel like a home away from home.

Stunning house and location we tagged this on to the end of a Blackpool trip so the adults could relax and recharge will definitely be back

Fantastic accomodation, right on the lake with loads of thoughtful treats on arrival. Just what we wanted! Very close to bustling Bowness but also a short hop to tranquility of west shore. We enjoyed kayaking around the islands from our doorstep and took bikes on car ferry and visited Wray castle. Our teenage lads loved the footgolf 5mins from house too. Loads of great walks from nearby. We drove to grasmere (20 min) and did Fairfield horseshoe. Perfect base for all the family. Thanks Helen!

The accommodation is really comfortable. Amole seating in the living space. Lovely dining area very airy feeling. Bedrooms and bedding are comfortable and clean. The layout is great for families and the outside spaces are interesting and beautiful. It is set into a hillside and the drive way is steep and can be a little scrabbly. However a minute of walking puts you lakeside of Ullswater which is stunning and clean. 10 minutes walk gets you to Glenridding if you need essentials or a cold pint or glass of wine. Overall I would give it a “I’d stay again for sure” out of 10.

Claughton Hall sits in a beautiful location; isolated and peaceful but easy enough to get out to surrounding areas. Accommodation was simply superb; well furnished with plenty of space, a well equipped kitchen, a cosy living/dining room with log burner and especially very, very comfortable beds! Despite the bad weather we had it was a most enjoyable stay. Sam is a great host and always on hand if needed. I would not hesitate to recommend and would definitely go back. Anne

We have had a wonderful Easter weekend at Kim’s Place the Old School House was great! It was the right size for us as a family hence why we booked it, we enjoyed the open dining living area, the little added touches like dressing gowns, and it had the essentials for our weekend. It was a short drive to Cockermouth where we went to eat or collect takeaway from restaurants. Beautiful views and surroundings. Was a home from home for us, had everything we needed. Thank you Kim. ☺️

Delightful place to stay. Comfortable, warm and well-equipped. Good parking. Friendly and helpful hosts. Perfect for exploring the Lake District.

We had such a fabulous stay at Carole’s place in Warton. The lodge was immaculate and so well equipped with everything we needed. The location was quiet, private and set around a lovely small lake. 30 minute drive to Windermere and 15 minutes to Lancaster. Would highly recommend and look forward to staying again in the future.

Lovely cottage set on the hillside above Loweswater, a quiet part of the Lake District. Garden has great views, and a picnic area for alfresco dining, the two ponies in the neighbouring field are very friendly. Inside there’s a well equipped kitchen diner and lounge with TV and log burner (plenty of fuel provided). Beds are super comfy. Alex was very helpful and kind, a great host.

Lovely accommodation thank you

John was very helpful and easily accessible throughout our stay, making everything smooth and stress-free. The check-in and check-out process was seamless. The property was perfect for our family, providing a comfortable base to explore the beautiful Lake District. Highly recommended!

David is a great host and the house is in a perfect location for us visiting family. Everything was perfect and has everything we needed. Lovely place, spotlessly clean and in a great area to visit the beautiful surrounding areas. Would recommended and will definitely return. Thanks David & Karen

House was as described, beautiful setting with wonderful views of the hills and mountains. Rooms are spacious with comfy beds and bathrooms are nicely finished with good showers. Kitchen is a good size and has all required implements. A great location for exploring the central lakes and soaking up all that Ambleside has to offer.

This is a great house to stay in, close to the centre of town, very quiet, spacious, and with a well equipped kitchen. Parking was only a problem on the busy market day we arrived, otherwise it was easy to find a nearby park - usuallu just outside the house. Justin was very helpful prior to our arrival, with quick responses to queries. Overall we would be very happy to to return to this lovely house.

Lovely place with the bonus of parking for two cars, we stayed here as a family with another family and found everything about the place great. Really well kept property with everything you need and a great host. Would definitely stay again!

We had a lovely Christmas family gathering at Shirley's House. It was clean and comfortable and as described. Convenient to walk into town and a peaceful neighbourhood. Shirley was very helpful and responsive.

Beautiful lodge, with everything we needed. Amazing place to spend Christmas, so relaxing and just what we needed. Can’t fault anything and would love to return ☺️

A beautiful cottage and garden terrace with wonderful views of Windermere. With just a few minutes walk into the heart of Bowness and lovely shops, restaurants and the lake near at hand. The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped and so peaceful.

I could not have chosen a better host, a better cottage or a better location than this! Our stay was PERFECT and we owe it all to you Hazel and Billy. Our family enjoyed the cozy, exceptionally clean and comfortable cottage. We had a short 2 day stay but managed to visit Buttermere Lake, St Bees Beach and Ennerdale water. The walks were breathtaking and we left with precious memories. The cherry on the cake was getting to see Hazel and Billy before we left. We will definitely come again and will recommend you to friends and family xxx

The accomodation was clean and tidy and very spacious. Beds were lovely and comfortable. It had all the amenties you would want including a washer and dishwasher and a lovely added touch was the complimentary washing up pack which also included dish washer tablets. Would highly recommend and woukd definately book again

We had a lovely few days at the accommodation. It was perfect for the 6 of us. It was within an easy driving distance for lots of nice places around the Lake District including Keswick, Rydal Caves and Muncaster Castle. After enjoying our activities during the day it was great to come back to the house, which was in such a quiet and peaceful place. We had a lovely meal at The Royal Yew in Dean, we highly recommend it. Overall a lovely place for a break.
