"Absolutely lovely comfortable, homely house."
Great location and the accommodation was well equipped for all our needs and spotlessly clean. It was a really warm, cosy house. We travelled end of October and you never know if the accommodation will be heated, this one certainly was. There was nothing to disappoint with Lingmell House and the welcome pack on arrival was much appreciated. Parking was on street, we travelled with 2 cars and never had an issue outside of the property. Having stayed in quite a few holiday properties in Bowness, this is one of the best.

"The house was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay there."
Could do with a few more tumblers and a couple of beer glasses. Also, bottle opener is on the scissors and not very easy to use, a separate one would solve the problem. Family bathroom cistern was running constantly and this had already been mentioned in the visitors book. Minor points only, overall an excellent property. We would definitely return to Lingmell, it is very well situated for walking to both Windermere and Bowness. Parking was available on the street no problem. Very good value for money, we’d love to come back.

"Lingmell House was a very spacious and well-provisioned property in a great location for local amenities and bus routes."
It was let down by some maintenance issues mostly in the Bathroom, i.e. rusty radiator, extractor not working, constant water running into WC bowl and bath drain in need of clearing. The locking latch on the front door fell off on several occasions and the lock needs replacing as this is the only means of entrance to the house. When we arrived the key safe to the property was closed but not locked, an easy opportunity for a thief! We were disappointed that we had control of the central heating when the weather was miserable but as the week warmed up control was remotely removed from us and in the much cooler early mornings and late evenings we had no heating whatsoever. We have written the maintenance issues in the book provided and they will hopefully be rectified.

"Lovely house and a great location."

"The property is beautiful and very comfortable and has everything you could need for a short break."
It is in the perfect location for exploring various towns. We had no issues with parking during our visit but didn’t really move our cars after arriving as we walked every where.

"Lovely holiday."
Was abit cramped for 3 adults and 2 children. Having access to the spare double room would have been an advantage. Toilet in first floor landing constantly dripping, kept me up most nights, reported it but no one replied or came to look at it. Overall we would return as we have stayed here before but may have to access more bedrooms as kids are too big for the single beds now. But very nice flat and good location.
-
"The property was well kept, tidy and clean."
The rooms were well furnished and well presented. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and our two granddaughters (7 and 5) loved having the top floor to themselves. We would be more than happy to stay there again.

"We had such a wonderful stay at Lingmell House."
It's the perfect location, with easy access to Bowness and Windermere. We never had any trouble parking our car right in front of the property. The property was immaculately clean with comfortable beds and hot power showers. We appreciated the large dishwasher and American style fridge/freezer. The property was warm, bright, and very clean. The "welcome basket" was a lovely touch and we enjoyed all the goodies. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends.

"We had a great stay at Lingmell House - it is in a good position, betwixt Windermere and Bowness and we really enjoyed walking to the Lake from there."
The property was comfortable and well equipped - the property was spotless on arrival. We must also thank Sykes for their assistance too - at the address the front door is on a latch and we went out for an evening meal, pulled the door to - only to find my Wife and I did not have the key with us and it was left inside. After a nervous wait with a child in tow and medication in the property for them, someone arrived to open the door for us in around 90 minutes! The property could do with some minor paintwork repair to touch it up, but as others have said it did not detract from our stay. Overall, 5* holiday!
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that our team was able to assist you so speedily. We are glad that you enjoyed the property and it's location. Lakelovers Owner Team Property Owner

"This was our second visit to Lingmell and overall we had a brilliant stay."
We were looking at it again for a future stay but already booked for our dates so have had to look elsewhere. Excellent location and nicely furnished. Welcome pack is a nice touch and appreciated. The top floor bedrooms could maybe do with a small mirror just for convenience more than anything and in some places maybe a lick of paint but nothing major and it certainly wouldn't put us off staying again. Would definitely come again and highly recommend.
-
"Well equipped & cosy, close to all amenities."
Welcome pack was a lovely gesture. We had a lovely stay & would definitely return!
-
"Had a lovely stay."
House clean, tidy, well equipped and beds were really comfy. Managed to park outside most days although not guaranteed due to neighbours and tourists. Ideal location to easily walk to both Bowness and Windermere. (But it’s a hill each way). Would definitely return.
-
"Very clean and comfortable."
The couch was so comfy and the beds were the best we have ever stayed in. There are a lot of stairs and as we had little ones with us they were not the easiest to navigate or keep safe. Great water pressure for baths and showers. Well equipped kitchen to make life very easy. Also fantastic location with everything in Bowness and Windermere walkable.
-
"This was our second stay with Lakelovers and at Lingmell House."
Fabulous accommodation in the best location. Halfway between Windermere and Bowness. House has everything you need, although maybe 2 toilet rolls for 5 adults over 7 days is a little tight. Maybe a discount could be offered for regulars ?? Beds are really comfy and the power showers are great in the morning. All-in-all a great house in a great location with everything around you. Thank you.....
-
"It is a lovely, very clean house in a perfect location."
I can definitely recommend it and I’m sure I’ll go back there in the future.
Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back again. The Owner Relations Team Property Owner

"Such a comfortable and warm house, a real home from home and perfect for a family winter break."
-
"Lingmell is a lovely house in a great location,Ideal for exploring the Windermere area."
The beds are comfortable and there was everything needed for our short break.
-
"Lingmell House is a lovely house, situated in a brilliant location - no need to use the car if you don't want to - The house is very comfortable and has excellent furnishings, uses quality bed linen and towels."
Brilliant to come to a property that has sharp kitchen utensils as well as plenty of storage for your food stuff. Great to have TVs in bedrooms. A couple of things that would be useful in the kitchen is a lidded casserole dish and a yorkshire pudding tray. Hope to visit again in 2023...
-
"A fabulous property, finished to a high standard and immaculately clean."
Kitchen was really well equipped and lounge and beds extremely comfortable. Fabulous location for Lake Windermere and surrounding areas. Easy walk in to Bowness-on-Windermere and great on street parking for house also.
-
"We we’re very pleased with the property and would definitely stay again."
It was very clean and comfortable, including the beds. The location is great too, it is away from the busy areas but only a 10-15 minute walk into Bowness
-
"Good place to stay well located for both Windermere and bowness only fault to large settee obstructing access to window having to step over to adjust blinds at night."
Otherwise ok would stay again.
-
"The property was lovely, well located with easy parking."
Plenty cutlery, glasses and crockery, clear instruction manual and little welcome basket provided. Bedding was clean, handwash was provided in bathrooms. The cleaners were still there at our 4pm check in which was slightly annoying as we had arrived earlier in the afternoon to enjoy coffee in Bowness therefore we had to go back out. Towels all had stains on them. I feel that these issues were down to Lakelovers not the owners. Overall enjoyed our stay.
-
"We had a fantastic stay at Lingmell House."
The house is beautiful and very well equipped. The welcome basket was a very thoughtful touch and they have also provided Netflix and Prime on the smart tv in the living room. The house is in a great location between Bowness and Windermere. It is a hilly walk either way but our 6 year olds managed it no problem. The house is a great base for exploring the area. Thank you for a lovely stay we will definitely be back!

"Our stay at Lingmelll house was very relaxing as the house was very spacious and had all the facilities we required."
The dining and lounge are big enough that a group of 5-6 people can sit comfortably without feeling cramped. The large fridge/freezer is great for a large shop. It did not affect our stay, but for clarity, the listing should state that there is an apartment in the basement (separate entrance) and also the back garden is not accessible. The location of the house is ideal to conveniently and easily access all the activities we had planned for our stay. Bowness & Windermere Centre are within 15-20 mins walk. We had a great time on Windermere lake cruise exploring both Ambleside and Lakeside. The steam train from Lakeside to Haverthwaite was enjoyable. A couple of local walks to Orrest Head and School Knott allowed us a broad & beautiful view of Lake Windermere and of the surrounding fells. We had a great couple of days kayaking on lake Windermere and cycling to Wray Castle having hired both from the Windermere Canoe Kayak centre in Bowness. The efficient and fairly priced ferry service from Bowness to the other side of the shore allows easy access to further sites & attractions . We all had an amazing week and can’t wait to be back to the amazing Lake District.

"We had a fantastic stay!"
The house was clean and very well equipped with everything we needed for a lovely family break! The bedrooms were very comfy and cozy and the living room was just the right size for us to settle down in the evenings. We had beautiful weather and most nights took a stroll down to the lake to watch the sunset and have an ice cream! Lots of walking, boating, swimming and climbing! Thanks for having us we would love to come back one Autumn to see the landscape at a different time of year!

"The owners have created a homely paradise for all visitors to their property."
We have stayed in various locations within Windermere and Bowness and we will definitely come back to Lingmell House. I would suggest to LAKELOVERS that your company supply a Maintenance Book, for visitors to list/add details of any issues at each of the properties you manage. That way smaller things like cups with "chips" or radiators with lower rust can be sorted/registered and passed to the owner. I understand that asking visitors to remove the bedding etc. helps your cleaning team, however when you are on "holiday" I don't really feel you should be asking them to do this. We are on HOLIDAY after all but I guess LAKELOVERS have decided to do this and not the owners. Saying that my only negative about the stay was the having to remove bedding, so pretty good if that's the only thing. Great stay, great property and great location
-
"The property was lovely warm and welcoming, everything we needed, in a great spot and an easy walk to Windermere or Bowness."
-
"A lovely property."
We had asked for the twin room to be unlocked, upon arrival it hadn't been, but this wasn't an issue as the housekeeper came and unlocked it and made up the beds, which was great. Fantastic location. Really enjoyable stay.
-
"A group of 6 girls stayed in the property for the bank holiday weekend."
The house was lovely and clean and we were welcomed with a care package with tea, coffee, biscuits, jam and Kendal mint cake which was a nice surprise. The house was warm and all the rooms decorated lovely. Everywhere was comfortable and we really enjoyed chilling out and chatting. It is in a great location, we ate out in Windermere and Bowness and both were in walking distance. We will definitely visit again! Thank you for having us :)
-
"Really lovely holiday home in a very good location."
Very clean and comfortable fully equipped for a perfect family gathering - we all loved it and would return.
-
"Great stay at Lingmell House, the house was well,equipped, very comfortable and really clean and tidy, all furniture was of good quality and the beds so comfortable."
The location is ideal for a long weekend break, although an outside space would have been a bonus as we had fantastic weather , it wasn’t detrimental to our stay. Easy walking distance to Bowness and Windermere meant lovely evening strolls and call at the pub came as a bonus. I would definitely recommend this property.
-
"A lovely house and so clean everything we needed perfect location for Bo'ness and round about ."
.the only down side is the table looks lovely but the chairs are really heavy to move ...and while the sofa is large and you can spread out on it we would rather have been able to get in the bay window and look out but the sofa blocked it off ..but that prob won't bother others..tv in every room but none in the kitchen to listen to the news at breakfast oh well you can't have everything ..

"LOVELY COTTAGE IN A GOOD LOCATION."
-
"A beautiful and very comfortable house."
Lovely and warm when we arrived, and so clean it really was spotless. The cottage was well equipped - everything was of good quality. Could do with kitchen scales, oven casserole dish and serving dishes...... very minor things. The beds very comfortable with good quality bed linen. Another lovely touch were the planters on the steps to the house - very pretty. Already thinking of booking again for next year.
-
"Holiday cottage in a great location in the middle of Bowness and Windermere , which was only a 10 minute stroll away."
Furnished to a high standard and had everything you need. The only downside for us was that we were a group of ladies and there were no mirrors in the second floor bedrooms and no handy plug sockets, so we had to go downstairs to the other bedrooms to use their mirrors and sockets, which isn’t ideal when we are all trying to get ready to go out. This could easily be rectified and make the stay more comfortable.
-
"Such a lovely property in a very nice location, we are regular visitors to The Lke District and would definitely consider rebooking."
-
"Very Comfortable large sofa and arm chair n living room."
All facilities e.g. dishwasher, carpets, crockery, cutlery, showers etc. quality standard. Wooden Dining chairs look great but are very heavy to move. Be sure to specify whether you want the 3rd bedroom to be twin or double. We assumed the default was twin but we got the double. Beds very comfortable. We would have liked a chair in each bedroom.
-
"The holiday cottage is in a fantastic location for accessing both Windermere and Bowness."
Really enjoyed our stay there and would go back. Only slight negative is that not a lot of outdoor space so if want to sit out only room for 2 people on a bench in the front garden
-
"Just a delightful house to stay in!"
Tastefully furnished and very modern but so homely and relaxing, comfy beds, great shower, little touches to make it special. Great location in between Windermere and Bowness, street parking easy, quiet location, would definitely return.
-
"Lovely property in an excellent location, my first time booking through lake lovers."
The property was very clean with lovely decor. Well equipped. Would definitely recommend to a friend. Information about local activities was also great.
-

Well equipped property, very comfy beds and great water pressure! Immaculately clean
-
"We had an absolutely wonderful stay in this beautiful house."
Everything was brilliant.
-
"Superb house, everything we needed for a comfortable stay and more."
Great kitchen, spacious bedrooms. Everything looks so new! We loved our week at Lingmell House
-
"Being in the Lake District - its stunning, been twice in a year."
The cottage was perfect for a girls get away, we didn't want to go out in the evening but rather enjoyed our nights in and having 3 double bedrooms was perfect as there was 3 of us. We may even come back next year!
