Guests enjoy the comfortable bedrooms and the warmth of the house, with a special mention of the attentive service provided. The property's charm and spaciousness make it ideal for families and their pets.

The property generally maintains good cleanliness, with clean bathrooms and plenty of hot water. However, some guests noted areas that could benefit from extra cleaning, such as the lower ground floor and the patio, which slightly affected the overall perception.

The location is highly praised for being close to Windermere's main shops, restaurants, and the lake, making it an ideal spot for guests. The convenience of the location contributes significantly to the positive experience of the visitors.

Guests find the bedrooms very comfortable and the property warm, enhancing the overall comfort level. Some concerns were raised about seating arrangements and late check-in times, which suggests room for improvement in this category.

While the property offers a range of facilities, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as plumbing problems, heating glitches, and the need for patio furniture. These factors indicate that the facilities and maintenance aspect could be better managed.

There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews provided, so it is not possible to assess this category. As such, the score is set to null, and guests should note that while thoughtful gestures may be appreciated, they are not guaranteed.

About this property

Tucked away in the popular town of Windermere, Cumbria, is this superb four-storey, mid-terrace house, Burn House.

Enjoying a fantastic location in the Lake District National Park, just moments away from Lake Windermere, Burn House is a fabulous pet-friendly choice for a group or family of eight.

The property benefits from off-road parking for one car and a rear garden with patio, a perfect spot for alfresco dining whilst listening to the soundtrack of the nearby river, whilst adjacent to a play park and tennis club, suitable for the entire family.

Enter the ground floor, where you will find a lovely games room with a pool table, a Smart TV with Nintendo Switch ideal for rainy days or keeping the kids entertained! Along with a well-presented double bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a handy cloakroom.

Head to the lower-ground-floor, where you will find a fully-equipped kitchen/diner for rustling up your best dishes, ready to savour at the dining table over celebratory bottles of fizz, a utility for your convenience, and a light and airy sitting room with comfy seating around the crackling woodburning stove, and a Smart TV, great for movie nights with loved ones.

Continue up to the first floor, where two lovely bedrooms await, an additional double with en-suite shower room, and a bunk room with full size singles, ideal for the little ones to snuggle up in. Both bedrooms have access to a large bathroom where you can freshen up after a day of adventure.

On the second-floor, you will find the master bedroom, a beautifully presented king-size with en-suite bathroom, desk space to catch up on emails and views over to the Coniston Ranges.

The patio area has space for parking, a convenient EV charger, peaceful burn and somewhere to sit and relax after a day out exploring the Lakes.

For fine dining, you are spoilt for choice within a short drive, where you will find the Michelin Star Restaurants of L'Enclume, The Old Lamp House, Lake Side Kitchen, Henrock, Gilpin Spice and HriSHi to name a few!

Continue onto Ambleside, where you can visit a fascinating 2nd-century Roman Fort and the stunning Stock Ghyll Force, or further to Grasmere to follow in the footsteps of William Wordsworth at his former home of Allan Bank.

For an unforgettable holiday to the Lakes, choose Burn House.

Bowness and Windermere, two neighbouring villages in the Lake District, are bustling, entertaining hubs. Ambleside, with its boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium, and Beatrix Potter's “Hill Top House” at Sawrey, offers even more attractions than the other town. Grizedale Forest Park is conveniently located not far from the city, and it offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities. If you're looking for a more action-packed vacation, the area also has many National Trust sites and a wide range of water activities to offer. The 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness is sure to be a hit with the kids, while the nearby towns of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick, and the Lakeland Mountains are well worth a visit.

    Thank you.

  • Rachael

    The house is beautiful with plenty of room for the two families and dogs. Everything was to a high standards, plenty of towels kitchen equipment and the washing machine was a great help too. Emily was very attentive with any concerns that I had and was rectified immediately. Location was brilliant, short walk into Windermere with plenty of bar’s restaurants and shops. We will definitely be booking and recommending to our friends and family.

    I would have rated higher but we had issues with the central heating which wasnt working from day 1, kept on failing and requiring reset. Heating engineer could only attend to rectify 4 days later after we had left, so we were lucky it was a fairly mild week or it could have been much worse. Only other issue was with the front gate which jams into the stone wall and can be akward to open so requires some maintenance.
