• Charlotte (9/5): -
• John (7/5): - Location, space, parking
• Janet (10/5): - Perfect location. Few minutes walk to centre. However you need to be fit as hilly on the walk back. Very quiete area. No noise at night. Loved our stay. Thank you. Nothing. Had everything we needed.
• Marie (7/5): Perfect location - Location Setee needed changing
• Tracey (8/5): -
• Kirsty (9/5): Great location and hosts - Great place in an excellent location. Host was lovely. A bit dusty in places but nothing that would put us off, or stop us from recommending.
• Stuart (8/5): -
• Bernie (7/5): - Location good
• Jacqueline (10/5): -
• Zephan (9/5): - Great location. Check in was convenient. The heaters in the bedroom on the highest floor were on but not sufficient in keeping the room warm.
• Helen (9/5): Lovely comfortable home ideally situated in Bowness on Windermere - Fantastic location! Just a short walk to the lake and shops/ restaurants. We enjoyed a comfortable stay in this lovely home. Bowness on Windermere is beautiful and Bracken Crag is an ideal base to explore the Lake District. Host Manda is so friendly and helpful checking in and making sure all was OK.
• alison (10/5): Excellent stay - Lovely large property good location everything we needed also very comfortable
• JANET (10/5): Short break in Bowness. - Family of 4 adults & a teenager.great space 3 bedrooms+ living/dining area/kitchen & bathroom fully equipped everything we needed. Nothing it was good.
• Tracy (8/5): - The location was good, lots of facalities in the apartment , lovely and quite there
• Christine (10/5): Good value for money and great location - Clean and comfortable. Good location Good facilities even though didn’t use them.
• Phil (9/5): Superb -
• Kerry (8/5): Beautiful location, excellent facilities, great communication with host - The comfort and cleanliness of the house and the location It would have been perfect if there was a garden
• Rachel (8/5): Great location. - A great place to stay in Bowness on Windermere. Location is just outside of the town, we were attending a wedding at The Ro hotel which was literally five minutes away so perfect for us! A little further down the road and you're in the centre of the town. The beds were comfortable and we heard no noise from the street so had a wonderful night's sleep. The shower is actually the same one we have at home so we knew it would be a good one! There's a large secured shower head and a smaller one you're able to remove. Both have great water pressure. The kitchen was fully equipped and had everything you'd need. The living room had plenty of space for all of us (5 adults and one child) and had plenty of dvds and games to use if you would like to. Manda the host was very friendly and kindly messaged throughout our stay to make sure everything was ok and to just shout if we needed anything. We didn't need to contact them but I'm sure if we did need to, nothing would have been a problem! Entry to the house was smooth with the key in a drop box and then further sets inside the house. The WiFi had good connection too. There is free parking on the street the property is on, however it was quite busy. Overall we were happy with our stay and would look to book again. If you have trouble with stairs then this property might not be for you, upon entry you go down a narrow hallway and then open the door to the property which is upstairs. The bedrooms are then up a further flight of stairs. I understand the property has recently had new carpets throughout and this was welcomed, however I feel like the property could do with a deep clean. The property is clean, don't get me wrong but it could definitely do with a little more tlc. I understand this might be hard if the property is always booked!
• Gillian (8/5): excellent - we had fun - great location and Alexa was handy! - Great location The toilet downstairs isnt ideal but I was aware of this when i booked so not a deal breaker
• Cherry (9/5): Superb - Great location and a fab find for a family with a pet!
• Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional - Great location with lots of parking available. Everything matched the description. The owners were lovely and responded really quickly. We will definitely stay again.
• Julie (8/5): Very good - Location great, the property had all essentials
• Louise (9/5): Great property and perfect location - There were 6 of us came for a weekend walking. Great location, and the house had everything we needed for our stay. Beds and sofas were comfy. Good shower. Free parking outside. Great value for the area. What more can you ask for?
• Jane (6/5): Pleasant - Had everything you needed. The location was great. Very spacious and comfy. It was freezing! even with heating full on, especially on the top floor. Parking was bit of a pain, not always spaces and bumper to bumper if you did find one.
• Julian (10/5): Exceptional - Accommodation was better than expected Clean very comfortable everything you needed and more even a toy box for the little ones which we never expected Compliments to the host definitely would bookagain Thank you for a lovely stay
• Karen (10/5): The perfect place to stay. - Everything was just right.
• Sean (9/5): Superb - Curtains in the bedrooms need to be thicker.
• Clinton (10/5): Hiking with friends - Location, comfort, traditional feel Nothing
• Neil (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent cottage and location
• Jane (9/5): We had a lovely time. The accommodation was in a good place for walking down to the lake. - There was plenty of space for us to sit in the lounge. The kitchen was very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well. We struggled a bit with the parking.
• Iliev (10/5): Exceptional -
• Glenda (9/5): Beautiful budget friendly property - Property is amazing especially if you travelling with babies. Kitchen has got all utensils and facilities which helped a lot in our stay Found few furniture parts and bedding thing underneath the bed in master bedroom which i found as bit uncomfortable otherwise the property is just like another home in ur favourite travel destination.
• David (4/5): Disappointing -
• Lisa (8/5): This was a nice clean property in close proximity to Bowness. Amazing location. - Close to town, nice and clean NA
• Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gary (9/5): Excellent property will deffinatly be booking again thank you - Location excellent Nothing all excellent
• Mary (9/5): it suited our needs perfectly, thank you - location was brilliant, it was ideal, I particularly appreciated toys being there for the little ones, though we were out most of the time. Water nice and hot for the showers. It was all fine. possibly you could cut down a little on the notes!
• Grant (10/5): Exceptional - We had a great few days here. It was in a great location. We were able to walk down to the Lakes in under 15mins and do some shopping. The beds are conformable and the living room was good to just relax in the morning.
• Connor (10/5): We all had a fantastic time in Bracken crag - Comfortable, everything you need especially in the kitchen Just a bit dated
• Emily (7/5): Good -
• Peinee (10/5): Great value for money - 1. Very good location - walking distance to the town 2. Very responsive owner 3. Very good facility None
• Amy (10/5): Great stay in the heart of the Lake District - The property was in a great location, 5 min walk from lake Windermere. Instructions for check in and check out were clear and easy to follow so we had no issues whatsoever. Beds were comfortable and the place has all the facilities we needed.
• Katherine (7/5): Lovely location and a perfect place to visit the Lakes - Perfect location for us, quiet and private despite being an apartment. Bedrooms quiet and beds very comfortable indeed. Really clean and tidy too. Dishwasher top basket was broken when we arrived - needs new wheels to slide in and out I think. Also bathroom window wouldn’t open and some of the furnishings are maybe a bit dated but that’s all. Our host was absolutely brilliant though so more than makes up for any gripes, went out of her way to get us back in when we managed to lock ourselves out and made a stressful situation for us a breeze. 110% rating for Manda :-)
• Mohammad (8/5): Very good - Really enjoyed my stay ☺️
• Tommy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ziyu (8/5): Very good - It is a quiet stay in Bowness with good price and location. It's about 10min walk to the pier. The flat has 2 floors and 3 bedrooms which is enough for a big family. All facilities are working with necessay instructions attached. The hallway and stair is narrow if you carry large luggages.
• Richard (6/5): More minuses than pluses. - Very good location, particularly for the price paid. Double-bed in back room very comfortable. Owner was helpful. Bed in back double-room very comfortable. The mattresses in the other 2 rooms were very uncomfortable. What can only be described as a windowless box room, not suitable for a leisure trip. Settee covers part of TV, are 3 settees necessary?
• Rosa (6/5): Pleasant - Great location. The living room has 3 sofas which is nice and the kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans. Nice bedrooms. Unfortunately, when we arrived there was no basics such as toilet roll, hand-wash, tea or coffee. It would have been nice to have been left a couple of things to begin our stay. There were lots of notes from the owners which can come across a bit unpleasant. One concise document/list is enough. The information book was a mess and needs organising/updating!
• Melanie (9/5): Superb - Very cosy and clean. Comfy beds and well equipped. The Wii was a great addition to keep the family entertained. A real home from home. Great value for money in a central but quiet location and having spacious accommodation with good sized rooms. Struggled to find street parking nearby on the night we arrived but apart from that it was a good find with clear communication and information from the host Would have been great to stay for longer and will look forward to returning to Bracken Crag on our next trip to the Lakes. Nothing I didn't like and it more than met my expectations for a comfortable and convenient stay in Bowness.
• Norman (9/5): Lovely location in a comfortable home - Great location good facilities All good
• Shifuddin (9/5): Superb -
• Kim (10/5): Family of 5 and the dogs at Bowness - Everything you need is there, it's like a home from home. Comfortable, fresh towels, luxurious bedding. All modern furniture, kitchen and bathroom. Really happy with everything so much so we booked again before we left. I didn't realise there wasn't a garden but we didn't need one whilst we stayed anyway so it wasn't a bother.
• Varun (8/5): Very good - Location, Facilities
• Parminder (8/5): Brilliant Stay - All the family loved the stay, location great & no problem with accommodation.
• Patricia (5/5): Passable - Location was great Very cold in the top rooms even with heating on.. no extra blankets and also a broken door in the small bedroom that was actually off its hinges and almost fell on to my granddaughter. Needs fixing asap before a child Is injured.
• Domonique (10/5): Lovely weekend, top location, fab apartment. We loved it. - Excellent location, lots of space, everything we needed. Would recommend to anyone It was perfect
• Kelly (8/5): Fabulous - thank you - Location was fabulous and close to all faculties that Windermere had to offer! Very busy road - difficult to park
• Jack (10/5): Exceptional - The accommodation caters for everyone! From a Nintendo wee to children's toys neatly packed away! Plenty of space, all the amenities, full kitchen, dishwasher (with tablets), coffee machine(with pods) and a washing machine! Very well thought out! I would recommend for any group or family! 10 minute walk from Bowness! Thank you!! Nothing!
• Angela (8/5): Great location, comfy beds nice property - Great location Could have had a first aid kit (I cut my foot on the bottom of the shower screen and there was nothing to dress the foot with Also no milk in fridge and no little snacks (would have been a nice touch) If we had had the three people we were expecting instead of just 2 there would not have been enough toilet paper for the stay.
• Andrew (10/5): Exceptional - Central, easy walking distance. Everything was perfect.
• Helen (8/5): Great location - Location is central, ease of parking and everything in walking distance. Comfortable and very clean accommodation. Host very helpful and ease of contact.
• Mcpherson (9/5): Fantastic stay - The cottage was great. It had everything that we needed and was spotlessly clean. Although I stayed with a group of friends it would be perfect for families too with games, a Wii, WiFi and Alexa all available. Communication with Manda was superb also. All in all a great stay at a very reasonable price. I'd 100% book again.
• Brian (10/5): Perfect for our group of 4 people. Great location and all the facilities needed for a weekend break. - Central location. Nothing.
• Anna (7/5): Good -
• Linda (8/5): Perfect appartment for a holiday at bowness, would recommend. - Very quiet central location. The beds were all comfy and the flat was very clean. The owner of the property was also very nice and very helpful.
• Mary (7/5): Good value - Well equipped and spacious
• Helen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Val (7/5): Good - Homely. Excellent location.
• Sharon (9/5): Lovely stay in the lakes - Within walking distance of Bowness Clean comfortable apartment Street parking so not always easy to park close to address.
• Lesley (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, plenty of thoughtful touches like boardgames and toys. Well equipped kitchen, very comfy beds, fab shower, plenty of space 🙂
• Rachel (10/5): Fantastic stay with friends lots of space and facilities available were Excellant we had 2 kids with us and the toys, ga - Spacious clean and very well equipped. Location Excellant
• Glemn (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, spacious and very comfortable Make the toilet and bathroom into 1 room maybe 🙂
• Grahampage (8/5): Very good -
• Phil (8/5): Very good - Really accessible for the village & location superb Clean, tidy and comfortable Nothing
• Steven (9/5): yes I would stay again. - location excellent. size was spot on. Bit of mold in double bedroom Had to remove a screw from the carpet plate leading to the bathroom as a screw wasn’t down straight so the head was on an angle and I cut the bottom of my foot. Bathroom floor could really do with being replaced. Small bedroom really need a handle on the inside to be able to close it. Toilet roll holder would be good. Knowing where the roof window pole was to open them would be good in the welcome notes. Both keys on the hooks only one set opens the front door. so test before taking them
• Valerie (9/5): Had a brilliant time - everything was great -
• Joe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jack (9/5): Good value, comfortable apartment, and a great central location for exploring Bowness-on-Windermere. -
• John (8/5): Very good - Decent cottage for the price for 5 guests. Everything you will need is on hand & I mean EVERYTHING. All rooms of a very good size apart from single room. Location is OK.. bit of a steep hill going back. Plenty taxis available if needed from Costa coffee. Parking is free, but you'll need to park right at the very top of the street. Could be a pain if constantly using the car. 1 toilet between 5 guests is not ideal. Plus the fact it's on the floor below the bedrooms. But we knew this b4 we booked.
• Zoe (9/5): Superb -
• Melanie (8/5): Very good -
• Gareth (8/5): Very good -
• Colin (8/5): Very good - Location A couple of things didn't work but didn't spoil things
• Brian (10/5): Excellent - No issues at all. All requirements met in a great handy location. N/A
• Annmarie (8/5): Very good - Location was good as close to all amenities . Apartment was nice and clean. Parking close to apartment was a bit tricky due to half the street having double yellow lines. Inline leading up to the street can be quite difficult for people with mobility issues
• Rachael (8/5): Ideal for short stays. - Great, quiet location and well equipped. Good value for money. Homely. In places, the property is a little tired, though it is clear that some recent facelifts/improvements have taken place. Overall, for what we paid to stay in such a central and popular location, we were happy.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (9/5): Excellent -
• Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, great facilities and it was clean and tidy upon arrival. Everything was great.
• Hervinder (7/5): cosy and well equipped maisonette. - location was fantastic lounge was spacious kitchen was very well equipped toilet downstairs, tricky at night. water at kitchen sink and bathroom sink was temperamental, ran cold most of the time .

• Karl (10/5): Exceptional -
• James (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paula (9/5): Superb - New carpets Had every utensil you could wish for Fab location Lots of towels Very clean Will definitely recommend Left washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs, salt, tea towels and cloths Main bedroom didn't warm up with heating on (dec)
• Nicola (9/5): Family holiday in Bowness - Great location for exploring Bowness and free parking on the street nearby was a bonus. Clean and comfortable and felt homely to relax in. Would definitely return for another visit! Wii remotes didn't work so kids couldn't play on it, that was the only minor flaw. Broken bath hose but was pre-warned about that so we knew.
• Jane (10/5): Comfy Bracken Crag - Stayed in Bracken Crag with family for my daughter's 21st. The accommodation is very accessible to Bowness and there are places to park nearby. We felt relaxed and comfortable here as if it were our own home. The facilities are great and the host was available if there were any problems. Would definitely stay again.
• Bernadette (10/5): Can we come again please? - We loved everything
• Bernadette (10/5): Can we come back please? - We liked everything. The parking wasn’t as straightforward as we had hoped- and the weather - neither of which the host could influence!
