"Thank you we had a wonderful break."
The house was beautiful and a real home from home and the views were amazing.
-
"Lovely property close to shops and great places to eat, would definitely book again."
Views are spectacular and weather wise we had a perfect week! We had a very relaxing time and the property was lovely to come back to after a day out, with everything we needed to hand.
-
"A fantastic holiday home."
Literally just a couple of minutes walk to the heart of bustling Bowness but when you’re in the house it feels as if you are miles away from habitation. The views from the main living area are fantastic and it lifted my heart every morning. Very comfortable beds as well. The only possible drawback is that, because of all the glass in the living area that gives access to the wonderful views, that room does get very warm when the sun is shining. If you don’t want to use your car, from Bowness you can go to many places by boat or bus. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone wanting a holiday in this area.

"Great position, high tech property, spotless, fabulous views"
-
"One of the best properties that we have stayed in."
The kitchen was fully equipped, and the bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. The balcony was one one of the biggest we have seen, and we often all sat outside when it wasn't raining. Being so high up, from the balcony we could watch the jets flying past at almost the same level as us.

"Mere view is a wow location and accommodation."
The wrap around balcony is amazing as is the pamaramic views from the top floor. Everywhere is beautifully decorated and we loved all the beautiful art works and accessories. Tasteful, comfortable and beautiful. Everything has been thought of to make for an amazing stay. There is plenty of information provided of bowness and the surrounding area. We all would definitely come back and recommend. It was amazing and a big thank you.

"What a fantastic week we've had staying at Mere View."
The property was beautiful and the views were just amazing. The attention to detail was just fabulous and the apartment was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. A huge thank you to the owners and to Lakelovers for a truly memorable stay. We'll be back!

"This is our second stay at Mere View and overall, as previously recorded the property is outstanding, particularly its site and views from the living area and especially since some of the surrounding tree and bushes have been cut back."
We’re already looking forward to another visit.
-
"We were entirely delighted and charmed with this holiday home."
We have already booked to return.
-
"Great place and the views are amazing - daily changing landscape with the weather."
Had it not rained most days we’d have definitely made good use of the balcony. Excellent location for everything in Bowness and the house is very well equipped with everything you might need.
-
"WIFI was unavailable for the first couple of days and bath plug did not retain water in the bath."
The steps down to the car parking area where very slippy. Not an issue but more of a concern.
-
"The property was immaculate and very comfortable."
The location is stunning, to look at the view from the balcony or the lounge area was a privilege. We will definitely look to rebook in the near future.
-
"Absolutely lovey accommodation, fitted with high-end furniture and fittings as well as delightful artwork."
More than adequate space throughout the house and parking for 2 cars. The location is perfect to walk into Bowness to get groceries, food and see the location attractions. Highly recommended, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will hopefully be back some time in the future.
