• "Great house, and great facilities."

  It's the second time we've stayed and we loved it. However, we were slightly disappointed by the dismissiveness of the man sent to repair the shower drain. The upstairs shower wasn't draining correctly, to the point where it nearly flowed over the top of the base. It was only usable by one or two people in the morning. He came, plunged it for 30 seconds and said that had fixed it and said these showers are designed to drain slower than regular showers because of their plug design (I understand this, but it was definitely not normal). Alas, it wasn't fixed and the next day we had the same problem. If he'd have stayed 2 more minutes and actually checked the shower he'd have known that. Shame!

  We are glad that despite the issue not being completely resolved by the brand during your stay, you still enjoyed the property and look forward to welcoming you back again. That issue has since been resolved. Property Owner

• "We loved the property and had a great time there."

  Tastefully decorated and well equipped especially in the kitchen which makes life so much easier. Beds were very comfortable too. The hose outside probably needs attention as it seems to leak at the top and reduces pressure considerably which was difficult when washing the dogs down but that’s a small matter. Only difficulty we had was exiting from the driveway. We have an estate car which is very long and because of the parking on the road outside it was extremely difficult to manoeuvre. I think it would be worth noting that in the description.

  Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time there. We understand that you encountered an issue with the garden hose during your stay. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please know that we would have been happy to address this issue promptly had it been brought to our attention during your visit. Since your stay, we have scheduled the outside tap to be replaced. Regarding the inconsiderate parking in Keswick, unfortunately, this occurs occasionally especially during peak summer months. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please be assured that we’re continually working to address this issue with local authorities. Property Owner

  It's in an excellent location. With 7 people the heated towel rails, the alternate sitting area and outside space were all well used. We loved the house and will be booking again for next year

• "5* property!"

  Everything you need and more. Spacious and comfortable. Excellent location in Keswick, off street parking for three cars, kitchen extremely well kitted out with utensils, washing machine came in very handy after hot, boggy walks! No detail has been missed here, even had a good selection of books, board games and jigsaws! I had the absolute best time in Keswick with Bowderstone as our base, sad to come home.

Major problem for car owners has been parking/permits ,we’re could get 3cars on the path comfortably without blocking the side path .

• "This was a fantastic place for us to stay."

  Very close to the beautiful park for our Grandparents to wander around and excellent access to walks close by for the rest of the family. The accommodation was very clean and very well equipped with all that was needed for our week long stay. Only downside to the property was the access to the driveway and the limited space to be able to get in and out based on the cars parking on the road and over the marked lines. The actual space for parking is more than ample for three cars, when you can navigate your way onto the drive. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

  Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and time with family. We take all comments on board. We hope to welcome you again. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

• "Great property, had a fantastic stay."

  Very comfortable house with plenty of space for us all (6 adults). Everything we needed in the kitchen which was great as we did lots of cooking. Comfy bedrooms with lots of space for all our stuff. Great to have a utility room for all our outdoor gear. High quality furnishings and appliances. Very clean too. Great location in central Keswick for exploring the hills and lakes - lots of lovely restaurants and bars in Keswick. Thank you for a lovely stay. Would stay again.

• "This is our second visit to the property, the first being in 2018."

  I was pleased to see additional seating in the living room allowing plenty of options for our family to sit on. The kitchen is a real delight, quality appliances and a good range of cookware and crockery. We appreciated having dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll and foil as these are things some properties do not provide. As a family group of 6, we appreciated having the space to spread out in the property and a dining room to enjoy our meals together. The jigsaw puzzles and games provided fun on the occasional wet days. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bowderstone and would have no hesitation in recommending the property to others. Thank you to the owners for providing a very comfortable, well appointed house.

  Thank you for your kind feedback, we are so glad that you enjoyed the property and all that it has to offer. Property Owner

• "Lovely bungalow which was well presented and fully equipped."

  Plenty of space - which was needed with it being a party of 8. Parking for 3 cars an added bonus in Keswick. Everything was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again. Slight negative is that there wasn’t a welcome hamper - only a small carton of milk, however it did not detract from our stay.

  Very well equipped and comfortable. So much room, ourselves, children and their partners could spread out. The garden was also lovely, and outdoor space to sit in was a real bonus. As was the drive to park 3 cars on. I don't think we've ever stayed anywhere with so many televisions! Would definitely book again for a family holiday.

• "Fabulous property in the heart of Keswick, can’t fault it."

  Some party members said they found the beds uncomfortable, my husband and I thought they were great - you can’t please everyone with that kind of thing, it is what it is. Parking a massive plus, if only you could stop people parking so close on the main road - again, nothing you can do about it! Really well equipped and immaculate, we were so pleased with absolutely everything. Thank you!

• "Beautiful property in excellent location close to town centre and park/ green space amenities."

  Home from home, everything you need is there, good decor and furnishings, extremely comfortable living. Bonus is the ability to park at the property, the only downside being that as there are so many cars parking on the street in front, access and sometimes exit can require a lot of manoeuvring especially if inconsiderate drivers encroach onto the white line outside the property which indicates that the space should be left clear for access. Overall though it’s a superb property and one we shall look to rebook in the future.

  Thank you for taking the time to feeback after your most recent stay at Bowderstone. We are pleased to hear you had a lovely week and thank you for your kind comments. We agree it is a great bonus to have 3 x private parking spaces within the grounds of Bowderstone. Unfortunately we have no control on the road outside which is Greta Street. In the summer 6 weeks holiday this can get busy as it is all unrestricted parking on the streets surrounding Blencathra Street. Sometimes people are less considerate with the white line in place trying to prevent this. Hopefully the council will extend this white line in the future. Thank you again for your lovely comments and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
