“Great property nice and spacious, good facilities, we felt very comfortable and relaxed during our stay excellent location, off road parking for 2 cars which is a must in Bowness.”

Would definitely stay again.

“Always a pleasure to return to this lovely holiday home.”

Everything was up to the usual excellent standard. Cant think of anything we would need that wasn't provided. Would recommend.

Laura October 2024

“Lingmoor is a great property that we have stayed at multiple times now.”

It has everything we could need for our holiday and we love that it is walkable to go into the centre of Bowness. Would recommend for a lovely relaxing holiday.

- Laura, October 2024
Nina September 2024

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lingmoor which had fantastic views over Lake Windermere from the front bedroom.”

The property was well furnished and the kitchen had good quality utensils, crockery etc etc. Information about things to do and see was provided along with plenty of games, dvds for everyone to use. With 2 teenage grandchildren Lingmoor is a great cottage for the whole family. One suggestion would be to include that the location means climbing a very steep hill from Bowness. Kept us fit, though!

Spotlessly clean and great outdoor spaces also very quiet rd = would highly recommend but remember to bring an inhaler to get you up the hill leading to the property albeit there is an alternative route which isnt as steep

Yvonne August 2024

“Location of this property is perfect- right in the centre of Bowness 5 minutes walk from the Lake and bustle of the vibrant town, but up a short (steep) hill to a quiet and peaceful street.”

The property is spacious with a large lounge and dining area, and a large kitchen with all the appliances and kitchenware needed (just couldn't find a cheese grater!). Access to outdoor areas front and rear is great for sitting out in the evenings, or morning with breakfast. Bedrooms all large and comfortable with lovely view from main room. Also nice size bathroom, and extra shower room really useful. The landing blind was difficult to work, and the television smaller than most properties these days, so just some updating there may improve, but generally one of the best properties we've stayed in.

Paul July 2024

“Lovely well house, very comfortable, well equipped and in a perfect location.”

Quiet with brilliant views from the bedroom window and silent at night. We loved it

- Paul, July 2024
Rebecca June 2024

“Lingmoor was perfect.”

Ideal location (nb: steep hill) for us, gorgeous views and a very comfortable size. The property, especially the kitchen, had all the equipment I could have ever needed. Lots of outdoor space to relax and for the kids to play too. We have stayed in a good number of holiday homes and this is our favourite by far. We met the friendly owner briefly on arrival who had been in doing a few jobs, that the owners take care of the place was evident. We look forward to our next visit in a couple of years time when the kids are old enough to do more water sports.

- Rebecca, June 2024

Thank you for your kind comments. We are so pleased to see that you enjoyed your stay at Lingmoor, and the views! We hope to welcome you again. Thank you The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

The property was exactly as described and could not fault it.

“Great property and in an excellent location.”

Cheralyn August 2023

“We had a fantastic week at Lingmoor.”

The house itself is brilliant. Clean, beautifully decorated and really comfortable and homely, as well as having a fully decked out kitchen and everything you need when you’re away with your family and self catering. We also really liked the extras of books, films and games. The location is spot on - a stone’s throw from Lake Windermere and the buzzing town of Bowness but it is also set back from the town so is quiet and peaceful when you are at the house. We would definitely stay again and the property really did help us to have an amazing week in the Lakes.

- Cheralyn, August 2023
Ian July 2023

“Love the location and size of the property space.”

Kitchen and lounge is excellent and well stocked. Shows some signs of wear & tear around since we were here 12 months ago, particularly the outside areas. Location to town centre is great though the walk up the short hill is extreme. It ticks most boxes.

- Ian, July 2023
Chris July 2023

“Lovely property and a great size.”

Could do with a bit of painting here and there (bannisters), and the sofa bed in the den is very stained, presumably from kids spilling drinks previously. Also, the upper part of the kids den could do with a bit of a hoover, but otherwise very well maintained. The den is great for kids, but the TV is ancient and no use to kids at all really. Without a doubt, the cleanest property we've stayed in. Could do with a bigger/newer TV downstairs and faster more stable internet

- Chris, July 2023

Thank you for your comments. We are pleased to hear that you had an enjoyable stay. We take your comments on board. Thank you- The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team I'm glad you liked our house and found it overall very clean. I'm sorry about the stains on the chairs in the den - unfortunately, these were caused during the weeks immediately before you came, and we were unable to clean them properly until we stayed ourselves in August and had more time than the short changeover period on a Saturday. The internet isn't the fastest, but we're near the end of the line up on the hill! It's a great location otherwise, though. Thank you for your feedback, The owner Property Owner

A welcome pack would be appreciated could also do with an update on the sofas , otherwise a good big spacious house , shrubbery at back and front need taking back , kind regards Matt

Thank you for your comments, we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your say. We do find that sofas are down to personal preference. Welcome packs are not always provided. We take your suggestions on board. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

“Wonderful cottage in a great location.”

Very quiet, loads of space, very well equipped and very comfortable. Thank you for a great holiday!

Mark March 2023

“Lingmoor was in an ideal location in Bowness and an excellent place to stay, with all the town’s amenities and the lake just a few minutes walk away.”

The house was spotlessly clean and well maintained, probably the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed in! Only one minor point to mention, the shower screen in the main bathroom does have a small gap in it and a small puddle accumulates on the floor when showering, so need to make sure you mop up after you shower. Would definitely recommend as a place to stay and would go back.

- Mark, March 2023
Zoe February 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at Lingmoor.”

The house was perfect - clean, excellent location and has everything you need. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to stay again in the future.

We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back again. Thank you for your kind feedback. Property Owner
Jill October 2022

“This was our 3rd visit to Lingmoor in 4 years (one year it was already booked) and would have no hesitation to stay again.”

The property is very well equipped and has been cleaned to a high standard on each of our stays.

- Jill, October 2022
Rachel October 2022

“A really nice, well located property with everything we needed for a week away.”

Our children particularly liked the den upstairs and quickly made it their own for the week! The board games were also a hit. Thank you!

- Rachel, October 2022
Donna September 2022

“We had a wonderful week at the property, one of the most homely, cleanest and warmest we have ever stayed in with Lakelovers.”

There was everything we needed, lounge furniture and bed very comfortable. Immaculate kitchen and bathroom, plenty of hot water. The only tiny annoyance was the sound from the adjoining house, there was lots of door slamming (inside), and running up and down stairs. There is a longer but not as steep route into Bowness centre, through Langrigge Drive, that could benefit from being included in the information folder or on the notice board in the living/dining room. I have back issues and found it much more manageable to come back up to the house that way.

- Donna, September 2022
Chris April 2022

“Lovely cottage, hilly arena, and the walk up the hill to cottage from town is strenuous but that is what you get at windermere.”

As some other reviews noted the mattresses are intentionally soft, comfortable though.

- Chris, April 2022
Ian March 2022

“Once again the property was warm, clean and welcoming and had everything needed.”

- Ian, March 2022
Melanie February 2022

“Our 2nd visit to Lingmoor and great to be back and as stunning as before, in fact I think some appliances and decor were completely new?”

Absolutely everything you could need and spotless, just really lovely and one of the best and cleanest places we have stayed with a big thank you to the cleaning team in these difficult times. So close to amenities with parking but a stride the opposite direction brings you to countryside. Wouldn't hesitate to return. Thank you.

- Melanie, February 2022

“The property was very cold heating was on the lowest temperatures”

- Gul, December 2021

I'm sorry that you felt that the house was cold, but don't understand why that should be so. I'd been in during the morning before you arrived and set the thermostat in the hallway to 20C, giving a tempeature in the living room of 22-24C, The world Health Organisation recomends a temperature of 18-24C for living spaces, and the UK 16 -18 for hallways and 20-22C for living rooms. I'd also checked that all the thermostatic valves on the radiators were turned to the settings recommended by the heating engineereneengineerengineer.thtemperatureIteaincreasttemperature by turning up the thermostat.thetemperature by turning up the thermost Property Owner

“Beautiful property”

- Georgina, October 2021
Jennifer September 2021

“A lovely large and spacious house, very well decorated with good furnishings.”

Excellent fully fitted kitchen with all the utencils required. Extremely clean,(thank you to the cleaners). The reason for only 4 stars is because the leather sofa in the lounge needs attention,it is very low, some of the bottom seats have lost their fillings, therefore has no support. Both the double bed and twin beds are uncomfortable, they need new mattresses When I booked this property I asked about the hill up to the house, as I have a lung condition and can't walk up steep hills. I was assured the hill was only slight, so went ahead and reserved the property. As you can imagine, on arrival at the bottom of Brantwood Road I was shocked to see how extremely steep the hill was up to the house. This definitely needs stating in the description. Because of this we had to use the car every day when we went out, even when only going down to the lake and shops, parking was very difficult because it was so busy. Otherwise, as stated earlier the house was excellent.

- Jennifer, September 2021

I'm sorry that you felt that the gradient of the hill had been underplayed. To anyone used to scaling Lake District summits, that hill is indeed "slight", as it is short. I do understand that for you, however, that was not the case, and it was too steep for you to negotiate. We'll re-write the general description of the house to ensure that it reflects that the hill has a steep section. The brown leather sofa has not deteriorated. It was like that when we bought it, low, soft and squishy, which we find extremely comfortable, and is ideal for children. We realise that a low sofa doesn't suit everyone, and have provided a second sofa in the lounge area that is higher and more supportive. I do hope you used that sofa instead, as it should have better suited your needs. Mattresses are rather a matter of personal taste. We chose ones that suit us, and after staying at Lingmoor last week, can confirm that they are still comfortable for us. Thank you for your lovely general comments, especially about the cleanliness of the house. We'll make sure that is passed onto the cleaners. Property Owner

“Lovely holiday house - plenty of room and lots of home comforts.”

We would definitely stay again!

“The property is located at the top of a very steep hill which could trouble some people.”

The locals seems to dislike tourists. Otherwise a lovely place.

Great scenic views. Property layout was great and excellent standard.

- Karon, July 2021
Emma May 2021

“The house was very nice but a few improvements need to be made.”

The brown corner sofa is very shabby now and needs replacing. The sound on the TV keeps going quiet then back to normal. I suggest this is replaced with a smart TV which has Amazon Prime and Netflix so if guests want to log in with their own accounts they can do. I would also suggest putting a TV in the master bedroom. Apart from that the house has everything you need.

The property

A stylish and contemporary Bowness residence in a superb location, only a few minutes up the hill from the village and lakeshore, the elevation giving spectacular views across Lake Windermere to the fells beyond The elegant living space forms a great retreat for families or friends.

Sociable areas extend to both a sunny front terrace and peaceful rear patio garden.

You'll enjoy views from all 3 bedrooms, but it has to be said the king-size master is a particular treat.

Kids (or big kids!) will also be chuffed to find a great little upstairs den.

As well as being convenient for attractions and entertainment in Bowness, and of course on Lake Windermere, Lingmoor is also a great base for walking.

A wide variety of routes begin on your doorstep, and the property backs onto Brantfell - a fabulous route with fabulous views as you climb. == Accommodation in detail Private parking for 2 cars outside the property.

Entrance hall with space for walking clobber, and leading to a ground floor shower room and WC.

A few stairs lead to the open plan living and dining areas, with gorgeous chocolate leather corner sofa, woodburning stove and fabulous dining set up.

The living space is flooded with light, and boasts both patio doors to the sun terrace and French windows to the rear patio garden.

Large modern kitchen, also with access to rear patio garden.

Another short staircase leads to the master king-size bedroom, double bedroom, twin bedroom, den and house bathroom with shower over bath. Location On the eastern shores of Lake Windermere and close to Windermere Golf Club, Bowness is a vibrant Lake District village with a wealth of attractions and appeal for all ages.

The village has a contemporary shopping street, with supermarkets, delicatessens and everything you could need during a self-catering holiday in the Lake District.

There are many family attractions in Bowness.

From the famous 'World of Beatrix Potter Attraction', to row boats in the bay and mini-golf on the 'Glebe', you'll never be short of things to do with the kids.

Windermere Lake Cruises also depart regularly from Bowness Pier to Ambleside and Lakeside - a great way to explore without taking the car.

Lakeside is well worth a visit for families, as you'll find both the Lakes Aquarium and Lakeside & Haverthwaite historic railway to entertain you there.

Bowness is probably the Lake District's liveliest spot for evenings out, and there are plenty of options for eating out in Bowness.

For a stylish dining try The Postilion Restaurant.

For a quirky take on tapas, try 'Lucy4 at The Porthole'.

Or take your pick from a number of traditional Lakeland pubs serving real ale and hearty pub food.
