Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Bowness-on-Windermere

Our family of 4 had a perfect stay at Caxton Cottage! It was cosy, charming and extremely clean. Kay was super helpful, responsive and provided us with all the essential information we needed. Thank you again for the accommodation Kay! We would love to be back at Windermere and Caxton Cottage soon :)

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 house was really spacious and I'm an ideal location - a quiet road but within walking distance to the village with great places to eat and convenient shops.

parking for 2 cars was perfect. location was great and so quiet and yet in the centre of everything.

Lovely cottage in a perfect location. Not even a minute from all of the restaurants, shops and bars of Windemere. House equipped with everything you need so would definitely stay again!

A lovely cottage, in a great location. Had everything we needed and more. Easy instructions to get to location and for check in and check out. Visited Ingleton waterfalls trail, only half hour drive from cottage and well worth visiting, beautiful! Would definitely stay at the cottage again.

I don't think we could have found anywhere better to stay in Bowness-on-Windermere. The apartment is very spacious and immaculately clean. It is fully equipped, well furnished and tastefully decorated. An electrical fault with the boiler was resolved soon after arrival by the owner with good communication through our host Hannah. The location is excellent within easy walk to all shops, bars and restaurants and there is a bus stop outside the door. The car parking space was also very useful. I highly recommend you stay here. An excellent, comfortable and quiet apartment convenient to all you need. Great shower, comfortable beds and plenty of towels provided. Highly recommended.

We absolutley loved our stay here. The location was great. The accommodation was lovley, clean, quiet and a lot bigger than we thought. We will definitely return here for another trip to Windermere and surrounding areas as it was a top place to stay! Thank you

We had a lovely stay; the location is wonderful, surrounded by farmland with baby lambs overlooking the seating area! The apartment is very well specced and looked after, with a small garden house further up the hill opposite and an amazing river a short walk across the fields where we went for a swim. The photos do not do the property justice, it is a gem. Would definitely come back to use as a quiet base to explore the lakes from again.

Lorraine’s place was the perfect place for a couples getaway to Bowness. The place was spotless and provided everything we needed for a cosy and convenient stay. The bed was so incredibly comfortable and the bathroom felt spa like which was a lovely treat after a day out exploring the lakes. It was also minutes away from lovely pubs and bars which we enjoyed throughout our trip. We would 100% stay here again! Thanks Lorraine!

Great place! Super spacious and spotless.. comfortably fit three of us. I really enjoyed the quirky style and colorful decor, and there were plenty of books and games to keep us entertained during downtime. Siobhan was very responsive and helpful throughout. The location is fantastic, easy to walk to shops and restaurants, but still nice and quiet. Plus, the views from the window were a lovely bonus!

Loved everything about the place, will definitely be coming back host was very helpful

We had a great short break at Clare and Richard’s. The flat is spotless and well equipped. We walked up Kentmere Pike, only a 20 minute drive away and enjoyed gentle evening strolls around the green. Superb information provided in the flat and hosts very responsive.

Great location as a base to explore the Lake District & come back to relax afterwards.

What a fabulous few days me and my boys had ..I’ve never seen them so relaxed (ages 35 and 37 )x I think it was the lovely energy we felt in the beautiful Nest xx looking out over the river each morning set us up for the day. Would recommend 100% , we had everything we needed ..I couldn’t fault it ..the bedrooms immaculate and the beds /bedding were soft clean and extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the gym and pool offer also x staff there were lovely at the Swan Hotel. Thank you xx

Great little stay walking distance from the train station. Lovely, quiet home was everything we needed!

Lovely apartment. Really thoughtfully laid out and decorated. Spotlessly clean. Comfy sofa perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the area, as well as a nice bed & bedding, plus a very smart bathroom. Great location just a few minutes walk away from town with its shops, bars and restaurants (and boat trips, of course). Flat has everything you could need and feels nicely secluded and private, and there was a parking space too. Highly recommended.

The mill is stunning - beautifully restored and tastefully decorated with everything needed. A real home from home. Beds were comfortable and bathroom spotless. Walk into Kendal took around 20 mins with some good pubs and shops in the town. My daughters and I throughly enjoyed our stay… Some noise from children in lower apartment early in the mornings was the only slight negative… Highly recommend the mill.

lovely apartment which was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Great central location with fantastic public transport near by. Lottie had sent some reccomendations to visit and places to eat. Like most places Mondays are tricky finding a restaurant open. Everything was great and Lottie was a kind and responsive host who left us gorgeous local goodies to ear, much appreciated

It’s a cosy apartment with all the necessary amenities and more- good for a family of 3 or 4. Very accessible, 5 min walk to the railway and tourist info centre, with buses towards other parts of the Lakes right at the doorstep. Loved our feline neighbour as well :)

We absolutely loved the rooftop! Arriving to a few treats and a hand written card was a perfect start to our stay! The apartment was very clean and tidy, we highly recommend!

What a lovely flat in sleepy Sedbergh! Great location and very peaceful. The flat is so comfortable with the softest carpets too. Lots of extra towels and bedding available. A very well equipped kitchen and a lovely feeling of calm as soon as we stepped inside. Everything was really well thought out and very clean. We stayed for two nights but will definitely stay again and for longer next time. Amy very kindly extended our check out time and always responded to questions quickly. I highly recommend visiting Sedbergh and staying in this stunning little flat!

This was by far the best place I stayed while travelling in the UK for 6 weeks. Fiona greeted me on arrival and showed me how everything worked. She also made some great suggestions for local walks and cafes. The apartment is spacious, with modern decor and spotlessly clean. The host has provided everything you need for a very comfortable stay. It’s located within a few minutes of the shops and within walking distance to the buses and trains. Although it’s close to everything, it’s tucked away down a laneway so it’s extremely quiet and private. I highly recommend this apartment.

Modern and pristine accommodation, perfect for our needs, will definitely book again if we’re visiting the area in the future. Really appreciated the snacks available which we packed for our Scafell Pike hike! ☺️
