"Recently stayed 14/11/24 - 18/11/24 for a surprise 60th birthday celebration, absolutely stunning property with beautiful grounds to match."
The welcome package was a lovely touch & the log burner went down well with the cold nights. We can’t wait to visit again :)

"Great property in fabulous location."
I booked the house to celebrate my 60th birthday, we were a group of 11 adults and 2 dogs. The house was a perfect size for our needs, very comfortable and well equipped with fabulous views. There are good walks from the front door, with nice pubs at the end of them. The welcome pack was a nice touch. Would recommend this property and would return.

"The cottage was excellent."
The kitchen area was huge and very well equipped. All the bedrooms were extremely comfortable and could not be faulted. The purpose of the visit was to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary and the party consisted of 14 people including 2 babies. Everybody loved the cottage and the stunning views outside.

"An amazing large cottage style house surrounded by stunning views in a perfect location for visits to the Lakes, attractions & welcoming country pubs."
So peaceful & natural especially with serenading sheep & the occasional owl. How we wish we could wake to this every morning! Perfect for a 6th & 70th Birthday celebrations. Plenty of space for the children to explore & rooms for us older ones to sit around & relax. We may have a budding pianist in the making! In all a perfect extended family holiday. Thank you.

"Fantastic location and house for our family gathering of 11 people, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and just wish it could have been for longer!"
Very comfortable and well equipped throughout and the setting is beautiful.

"Great house and garden with fine views in a greatlocation."
Slept 12 but we were 7 and very comfortable. Only significant criticism is some of the kitchen pans and tins were well past their bin by date. Would be very happy to return and will recommend to others
Thank you for your feedback and bringing the need to change some pans to our attention. We just replaced three frying pans this week for new but we will ask our housekeeper to sort out any remaining old pans in need of changing. We are more than happy to get these changed and thank you for letting us know. We hope to welcome you back some time soon. Property Owner

"Facilities excellent except there is a need for brighter lighting in the dining area."

"The property is absolutely gorgeous."
We had a wonderful time celebrating my mum in laws 70th birthday with the family. (12 of us ages 4 to 78) The groceries pack was lovely and an unexpected surprise. The garden is lovely and well maintained. The house is very well equipped and had everything that we needed. A really fantastic place to stay

"Enjoyed a week in January at the Low house celebrating a 60th birthday."
All the family were accommodated in this lovely property situated a short drive from Bowness/Windermere. We had 12 people from aged 2 yrs to 60yrs all with their own space in this excellent house. Property is spotlessly clean and lovely comfortable beds. Everything such as bedding towels etc were all good quality. Very well equipped and set up to a high standard with a lovely welcome package on arrival. Would definitely return in the future and can highly recommend for large families wanting to stay in a lovely property in a nice rural setting for a social gathering. We found the property much larger than we expected and more than enough space. 5* all round.

"The house was lovely, the scenery spectacular and we had a lovely time."
Three small niggles.....:1) It felt penny-pinching to find each bathroom had only 2 loo rolls! There was a cupboard in the utility with plenty of spare towels - we didn't need any - towels were in abundance, but no spare loo rolls. Plenty of good quality kitchen equipment to use but loo rolls were restricted!?! 2) The teaspoons were heavily out numbered by the other cutlery! Knives, forks, desert spoons aplenty, but you need to get some more teaspoons. I think there were only about 6 or 7! 3). Again it felt a bit mean, given the high quality of provision in all other respects, that there wasn't a small pack of kindling and a few logs for an initial fire. As it happens, one of our party had brought some logs and kindling, but it seemed odd that there was a nice tray of coffee, tea, fruit loaf etc., in the kitchen (much appreciated), but not a small starter pack for a fire.
Dear Michael, I am pleased to hear you had a lovely stay. However, I am sorry to hear you had some niggles. As the owner I am always available during a stay to help and offer support but I did not hear from you. Usually we do not supply toilet rolls in every bathroom to cover the full stay (only the initial few days), however if you had reached out I would happily have gotten more supplied to you. Thank you for your comments on our teaspoons. I will have some more purchased. Clearly we have had some go missing so I will get them replaced. We have a log store next to the house (not locked) that we are happy for guests to use free of charge through the winter, especially for that first fire. We also supply all the fire starters etc to guests. I will check the stock levels for these. I am sorry that was not sufficient. With best regards, The Low House. Property Owner

"This is the second time we have had a holiday at the Low House and it didn’t disappoint."
It is such a beautiful house with lots of space. There were eleven of us and it still is possible to find somewhere quiet if you want to. The gardens are ideal for the children to run around and hobnob with the sheep next door!

"The property was fantastic, the whole family agreed that it's the best one we've stayed in."

"A beautiful house in fabulous setting, the owner’s have provided every possible comfort and a little bit more!"
Our family of 7 adults and 5 granddaughters (1-12) felt so warm and comfortable and loved Low House, the children particularly loved garden which overlooked the cattle in neighbouring fields. We would definitely love to return soon Thank you Low House for an amazing holiday.

"Beautiful property, done up to a very high standard."
Very well equipped with everything you could possible need. There was plenty of space to entertain, relax and enjoy our family get together. Lovely welcome pack of tea, coffee, cake, biscuits, milk, bread and wine. They even provided a birthday cake as it was a birthday party weekend. We even had snow!

"What a fabulous stay!"
Everything about The Low House has been wonderful & a great place to get together to celebrate a 'big' birthday with the family. We'll definitely be back! Thank you.
-
"Amazing home, perfect for large gatherings in a beautiful setting."
We spent a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend at this gorgeous house which has all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The house is even larger than it appears from the photos so there is plenty of space for a everyone in a large group to be comfortable and find their own space if needed. The bedrooms are also super comfy with lovely bed linens and towels. There are a number of nice pubs nearby and lovely walks from the house . It is quite remote so come prepared as we did with plenty of food and drink if you don’t want to venture out again to the shops. In a word - stunning!

"We hired the Low House for a family celebration."
The house was wonderful and exceeded all our expectations. We were a family of 13 ageing from 1 to 66 and all had a great time, The children loved the garden especially talking to the sheep and cows in the fields next to the house. In all a great weekend.

"This property is not only very spacious, which is ideal for large families, but it is a gorgeous property as well."
The grounds and surrounding views are stunning I could look at them all day, the kids loved running riot in the massive garden and was plenty of space for them to do so. We will definitely be staying here again in the future :-) highly recommend this property if you have a big family and want a beautiful place to getaway in a nice quiet area.

"The house was so spacious for all 10 people so we didn't feel crowded at any point, loved the kitchen."
The outside space was great for a bbq and to just enjoy the scenery with a drink. One of the top houses we have stayed in.
-
"Wow! This house was amazing, such a perfect home to celebrate our Mum turning 60!"
We were a party of 11 including a baby and we brought our dogs. The house felt so spacious and is so well equipped. It has the most perfect setting and incredible views... can we live here? We will most definitely be back! Thank you so much.

Windermere 8 miles.
A historic market town with a fine reputation for shopping, Kendal nestles on the banks of the River Kent and is known as the Southern Gateway to the Lakes. Its old cobbled lanes and byways branch off the attractive main street, and the stone ruins of 12th century Kendal Castle sit perched on a hill with views over the town. Visit The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, its regular collection holding portraits by Kendal born George Romney and works by Turner and Ruskin, with other exhibitions through its links with the Tate. Both Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall with its superb Topiary Garden are nearby, as are limestone escarpments for easy walking, offering thrilling views of the Lakeland Mountains, the Howgills and Morecambe Bay. Kendal itself is ideally placed for exploring South Lakeland, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. With other attractions such as Kendal Museum and the Museum of Lakeland Life, the fascinating Quaker Tapestry, Lake Windermere and the wider National Park within easy reach, Kendal provides a superb base for a relaxing break.
