Why They Love Staying With Us

"Our favourite place to stay..."

Our favourite place to stay in the Lake District. Helen made sure we didn't want for anything. Thank you, all of us will be back next year!

"we will be back next year!"

We are back again and it's been perfect. We went for a few walks and adventured around the Lake this year. As always, thank you, and we will be back next year!

"Outstanding!"

Had a wonderful Christmas time with family (all adults) in Helens wonderful boathouse.

Can’t fault anything about this place. Certainly had the wow factor response from all of us. Especially the view from the balcony overlooking the lake. Stunning!

Very well equipped and totally spoilt with the welcome pack Helen left us. Milk, bread, eggs, fresh orange, butter, wine, too much to mention she’d thought of everything. Even lots of goodies and even left Christmas crackers. A beautiful Christmas tree and the whole place was spotless! Thank you so much Helen for a wonderful stay in your property. I can highly recommend it to anyone thinking of staying, and we’re fussy!

"Calming scenery"

Old boathouse renovated to the very highest standard. Lots of room for 6. Well equipped kitchen. Secluded from the bustle of Bowness but easily within walking distance of the restaurants there. Parking for 2 cars. Possibly the best location for a holiday rental, with a large balcony overlooking Lake Windermere

"Relaxing and family friendly"

This was one of the most relaxing placed I stayed with my family. The host was super nice and the place and items provided with the property were really good. Also, the host recommendations for restaurants were on point. Great food and services on all of them. Definitely will return.

"Super property well located"

This was a lovely property that easily accommodated a party of 6 adults. Well equipped and super clean. In a great location within easy walking distance of Bowness with all of places to eat. Take the ferry that is 2 minutes away to the other side of the lake which is a lot quieter with really spectacular views if you go to the viewing station - only £1 for pedestrians. Will definitely be going back.

"Simply wonderful"

We stayed for a few days, wish we had booked for longer. The boat house is stunning. It had everything you could wish for.

Helen, our host, had left us a welcome pack, even left beautiful fresh roses on the dining table.

The view from the lounge was gorgeous. Waking up every morning, sitting on the deck over the water, what could be better?

Every little detail had been thought out. My husband and I have travelled extensively and we have never stayed in such a wonderful relaxing place. I can’t recommend this enough. We will definitely be back as soon as we can. A big thank you Helen, we really needed to recharge our batteries, and did.

"Fantastic stay"

We had a fantastic weekend in Walkers Boathouse and we could not recommend it highly enough. Beautiful location, very clean and well equipt. Helen was extremely helpful from our first enquiries to the weekend itself. Thank you and we hope to be back in the future.

"Brilliant Boathouse"

We came up for my fiancés 30th birthday weekend with a few friends and we loved everything about this boathouse. From the extra that Helen had done for us, the views, the location, cleanliness and everything about this stay was brilliant, we all loved every second. We had a minor complication with the boiler and once I messaged Helen she was straight over and showed us what to do and apologised for the little error, she was very polite and was at the end of the phone if we needed her. We all sat on the balcony for breakfast every morning and admired the views and enjoyed the peace and quiet before we started the day with the best coffee thanks to the coffee machine and milk frother! The boathouse was spotless when we arrived and the instructions to get the keys were very clear too. Plenty of space for all of our stuff to be put away so we felt like we were home from home. Thank you for an absolutely great stay and we hope we will be back soon!!

"Winter Break"

The property had a wonderful lounge/ living area with fabulous views over the lake. Great for socialising in wonderful surroundings. The property is well furnished and extremely clean and well equipped. The central heating is a bit loud when it comes on during the night time but easily lived with for a long weekend. Would recommend and will book again.

"Stunning views, beautiful home"

This really was the perfect place to stay on lake Windemere, with the most amazing views, and close enough to Bowness to walk in. The house was most thoughtfully planned out, and all on one level making it easy for those less mobile too. And the lovely host Helen was incredible, dealing with every request and question with a calm helpful friendly manner. A truly wonderful place to meet my UK family and catch up while visiting from nz.
