  • "The fact that we have stayed at March House 11 times and will be booking again next year speaks for itself!"

    !! Love the place. The location, the space, and facilities are all excellent, it's like a home from home for us!

  • "Its a beautiful house in a beautiful location."

    But the house needs some updates in my opinion, the carpet was threadbare at the top of the stairs and where the radiators had been removed, it looked a little scruffy. Comfy bed. Sofas comfy. Beautiful garden..there were small gaps where a small dog can get through, under the netting of the gate, we accounted for this beforehand as we understand its our responsibility. But just be aware if you have a curious dog it's possible to get out. I think the house has huge potential, and whilst there was nothing particularly wrong, it didn't set our world on fire either.

    Thank you for your feedback. The owner will be able to see your suggestions and can make amendments as required. We are glad that you had a lovely holiday. Lakelovers Owner Relations Property Owner

  • "A fantastic property."

    The best we have had in all our visits to the lakes. Having the Lounge on the upper floor meant we were treated to the most magnificent sunsets, We normally bring items that we have found lacking in some accommodation but we didn't need to use any of our own items. Having the lounge upstairs could have been an issue if we had brought our elderly Labrador as he wouldn't have coped with the stairs. The lane to the property is not for the faint hearted though. Luckily we only met 2 vehicles during our whole week.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed everything the property and area have to offer. Lakelovers Owner Relations Property Owner

  • "We had a fantastic stay in March House."

    The house was provided with everything you would need. It was well located so touring around the lakes was ideal. It was peaceful for the best relaxing holiday we’ve had. Highly recommend people staying here. The one downside was coming home.

  • "We have been to March House 10 times now and it feels like a 'home from home'."

    The owners have improved the beds and living room settees in the last few years to ensure that the standards remain high. We love the place and look to return as often as we can.

    Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back for an 11th stay! Property Owner

  • "This was our second visit to Match House, house was well presented and lovely and clean on arrival."

    The new settees and bed were very welcome, much more comfortable. The library content is amazing couldn't want for better reading material. Garden was really lovely but couldn't really sit out because of the noise from the new house being built next door, unfortunately the noise of the staple gun, banging and loud radio which all started at 8am spoilt the outdoor experience. We will be booking again though in the hope that the house may be built when we return.

  • "Property was perfect from the outside with a lovely garden."

    the inside of the property was a bit dated. The water from the upstairs bathroom sink took ages to become warm and I felt you wasted so much water as you had to run the tap for quite a while before it became tepid, apart from that the house was well equipped

  • "It really was a wonderful place to stay."

    The only issue we had was the hot water. We didn't have any for a couple of days, someone did come out on our second be day & advised it was because we had run 2 baths simultaneously in one morning. Even putting it on boost didn't work. However, it was a minor issue as there were the showers. Still a spacious beautiful home in an ideal spot.

  • "Excellent location near great walks views and town."

    House quiet comfortable and warm. One en suite and one shared bathroom a little inconvenient for 6 adults. On night 4 of a week stay the water heating failed leaving us with no hot water. Fortunately two electric showers. Two plumbers cured the problem on night 6 however the water was then scalding hot. We left a warning note to that effect upon leaving. Unusually fantastic library of interesting books.

    It was extremely firm & unforgiving & is the only reason why we couldn’t return. Maybe a memory topper?

  • "The expectations were met to a degree."

    The first thing I do on arrival is take a look round and read notices. One notice said when leaving wash crockery wipe work surfaces and wipe fridge / freezer out . Well I know your cleaners don’t have much time but these things need checking. The fridge/freezer was dirty crockery in cupboards was dirty the microwave was dirty and the baths didn’t look like they’d been cleaned. When you went in the bathroom it didn’t smell clean. We decided to wash all the crockery we were going to use before we used it. March house is a lovely house, it’s just a pity thing hadn’t been checked. Mrs D Kinsella

    Thank you for your feedback Mrs Kinsella, it is greatly appreciated and important to us. I'm very sorry that on this occasion the cleanliness of March House fell short of your expectations. We would have been very happy to reattend to any of your concerns had you made us aware of this during your stay with us. Please do accept our apologies for this shortcoming, and we really do hope to welcome you to stay with us again in future. Kind Regards, The Owner Relations Team Property Owner

  • "March House is a fabulous holiday home."

    Stunning views, spacious and ideally located for walks from the doorstep. Orrest Head is within walking distance of the house and we visited there several times. There are quite a few walks straight from the door. A great kitchen/dining area with lovely views. It would be worth mentioning for future guests that a bbq is supplied, the garden is fully enclosed for dogs and that Windermere is an easy 20 minute walk away through a pretty wood. It is the perfect country retreat being quiet and secluded yet minutes from the bustling town. We would highly recommend it.

The property

March House was built by the current owners and is a lovely Lakeland property situated just a mile from the vibrant village of Windermere in the heart of the Lakes.

Commanding breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and wonderful sunsets in the evening, the house is a dream come true for a family or small group. The stunning Orrest Head viewpoint can be reached easily via a short walk across the field and through Common Woods.

This was the very first Lakeland walk chronicled by author Alfred Wainwright and inspired his pictorial guides to the Lakeland Fells. The first floor living space and master bedroom were designed to make the most of the views, whilst the large dual aspect lounge is the ideal room to relax with others, enjoying the views or the cosy log burning stove.

There’s also a large kitchen i with views out to the garden and the Lakeland Fells beyond.

In the master bedroom there are more fantastic views, an ensuite bathroom and a dressing room.

Should you want to relax, the reading room is a peaceful spot in which to escape, enjoy a book and admire the scenery. Well kept gardens offer fresh air and al-fresco living on a sunny day and are also great for children to play in.

This stylish property offers guests a holiday to remember.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
