• "We enjoyed a wonderful family break in Brantlea."

  The property was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub, the outside eating space and the panoramic view from the dining area. Would readily recommend as a lovely place to stay.

• "The house is so much better than in the picture."

  It has everything you need for a comfort stay. The terrace has gorgeous views for the sunset. The house is walkable to the village with plenty of restaurants and things to do and see. Hiking trail starts right outside the house. Jacuzzi was fantastic and located further up the hill behind the house with gorgeous lake views. We stayed with 2 years old child and she really enjoyed walking around the house up and down the steps. It is safely secured with stairs gates and has baby cot and high chair. Welcome basket with local produces was amazing:) thank you for having us!

• "Amazing property!"

  Has everything you need and ticks so many boxes for a group stay - nice and spacious with a bathroom for every bedroom, has a hot tub with incredible views and is in a great location, just a short walk to pubs and shops. Simon is a fantastic host who had good communication with us. This was my second time here and wouldn't hesitate to come back again. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Bowness!

• "Simon's place is fabulous."

  Luxurious, with everything you could need. Such a short walk into Bowness but so peaceful too, and those views! We had the best family short break and didn't want to leave. Simon was a great host, start to finish.

• "The pictures do not do this location the justice it deserves!"

  Perfect house for 8 of us to celebrate three 50th Birthdays. A short walk into Bowness with lots to see and do, if walking though be mindful there are some inclines back up! The hot tub view was amazing and an added bonus to this house. Simon was a very attentive host, answered very quick to any queries in the lead up and also during our stay. All in all a fab long weekend, great house and location. Would definitely recommend!

• "A great house for a great break in the Lakes."

  10 The property is in a great location, just a 10 minute walk from the centre of Bowness. There is a great view from the property looking out across the lake. The view is even better from the summer house / hot tub. The rooms were all spacious, wellequipped and very clean. The property worked extremely well for our party with an age range of 7 to 60+ and a dog. I would highly recommend a stay at Brantlea.

  KarlApr 2025

• "A fabulous multi-generational family holiday in a perfect location in a beautiful house."

  Outstanding property, exceptional views. The accommodation was perfect for our family of 5. Plenty of together space for sitting or dining while plenty of space for everyone to get some peace. Simply stunning views from the hot tub. Easy walk to Bowness but very quiet and peaceful area. Unbeatable, frankly. For us it would be difficult to improve.

  The communication upon booking was fantastic and that continued right through until we checked out. The property itself was stunning, by far the best property I have stayed in, you then add in the cleanliness, modernness and overall homeliness ofthe house, everything was just perfect! The lovely welcome pack too was a really nice touch too and you can tell real thought had been put into this! The location was a perfect balance of peace and quiet, whilst being conveniently close to local restaurants, shops, and anything you may need. If you're looking to stay here, I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

• "We booked Simon's place for a family weekend to celebrate my Dad's 70th."

  It was the perfect home from home for us, but with added luxury! It's a beautiful house with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Board games, kitchen utensils, plenty of towels - every last detail had been thought of, and didn't go unnoticed. Simon was flexible with check-in, and we were fortunate to meet him when we were leaving, to thank him for an amazing stay. The pictures don't quite do it justice - it's a stunning property, ideal location and views to die for. Won't hesitate to stay again. We got balloons delivered from a nearby company, and a supermarket shop delivery too. My nephews are 5 and 7, and my parents turning 70 - we all loved it - even the dog who's not quite 1! Book it - you'll not regret it!

  Firstly, the house is in the most amazing location - being extremely walkable to the lake, shops, cafes and restaurants! There are also many beautiful walks in the surrounding areas of the house - which Simon kindly let us know about on arrival! The house boasts the most stunning views of the lake and surrounding hills, which we enjoyed for many evenings whilst sat in the hot tub (the view is even better from up there!!). The house is so lovely - just as described and I’d say even better than the photos! Has everything that you would ever need, super clean and really comfortable beds!! Simon was a lovely host - really accommodating! A few of our group were arriving early and he was kind enough to offer an earlier check in which was really helpful! Overall - this was a 10/10 and we would love to go back, as well as fully recommend to anyone thinking of visiting!!

• "The house didn’t disappoint and in some respects was even better than the pictures show especially the location."

  In a very quiet and select private close only added to the enjoyment. House was spotlessly clean and well presented. Ample room for our party of 6 to both spend time together or chill when prefer with the garden room a firm favourite. The birds eye view of fast jets navigating up the lake and beyond was a real bonus! Only real ask would be if the hot tub could be raised slightly allowing better views of the lake whilst sitting in it but icing on the cake of course! Only gripe relates to Sykes and the astronomical price increases year on year!

  An outstanding property just a 10 minute walk from the centre of Bowness. Accessible via a steep hill so not for the faint hearted but the views are breath taking so worth it. The house was spotlessly clean and very well equipped, with a welcome hamper which was a nice touch. Simon was very welcoming and helpful, all in all an amazing experience.

• "A unique, beautiful property with fantastic views of Windermere and surrounding hills."

  Spacious and tastefully decorated inside. Check in, House Rules, and check out instructions were clear and helpful, and presented neatly in a tidy folder, alongside detailed additional information on surrounding areas and activities. We also appreciated the generous welcome hamper. Simon was a fantastic host and made sure we had everything we needed. He was always friendly and very responsive to messages and calls. Chatting with him before we left was quite pleasant and made it clear he is a considerate, enthusiastic host who aims to deliver a top tier experience for all his guests. Top marks in all areas and a massive thank you for a lovely stay in a gorgeous property!

  lock box clearly visible. The house has a large open plan on the upper floor with private bedrooms on both floors. An extremely well equipped kitchen and utility room com0lete with washer and dishwasher caps. The hot tub is at the top of a steep garden which has a well kept and lighted pathway making it easily accessible. just next to the hot tub is a lovely summerhouse which will be great during the summer months. Overall this house exceeded our expectations and we will hopefully be back.

  Anything we could’ve possibly needed had been thought of and was in the house. The safety gates for our baby was a life saver who had just started to crawl. The welcome box was amazing and a nice surprise, full of local produce and the dog treats made our four legged friends very happy. The house was clean, comfortable and warm. Amazing views from the kitchen and hot tub. It was a short walk to Bowness which had plenty of amenities, nice shops and restaurants with the Cornish pasty shop being a much loved family favourite. We all agreed we would definitely stay again.

  The steep garden won’t appeal to everyone but the view and the hot tub facilities at the top are definitely worth it. The property is in a quiet position at the end of a cul de sac so benefits from no passing traffic . We had a fantastic stay.

  Everything had been thoroughly considered and nothing overlooked. The only thing that didn’t suit us this time was all of the garden area was on a step slope with steep steps. Without a “wonky” dog though, that would’ve been fine.
