“We spent a lovely few days in Miss Potters Loft which is in an excellent location in the centre of Bowness.”

The apartment itself was fantastic with everything we could possibly have needed for a comfortable stay. It was lovely and cosy to come back to after a day spent walking or shopping, and we felt really at home there. We would highly recommend Miss Potters Loft and we certainly hope to return in the near future.

“Perfect place to stay”

Writing this on our last night of our holiday. We've been here for a week and it's been amazing. The apartment is beautiful, it's kitted out with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen is fully kitted out, cleaning products, utensils, tea coffee etc, everything. We brought all of our own stuff and haven't needed a thing. Bedrooms have big, comfy beds and wardrobes with hangers, spare blankets and towels. The information packs could not have been any more informative, instructions for all appliances, maps and leaflets for anywhere you may want to visit. They haven't missed a thing. There is WiFi but it's not great so if you are relying on it to download films like we did then I'd download them before you come. Wasn't really an issue as there are loads of DVDs already here and we bought a lot more from the charity shops for about £1 each. There's off-road parking at the back which is great. We have been to Bowness for a week every year for the last few years and this has been our favorite accommodation by far, can't wait to book again for next year

“The apartment is amazing , the location couldn't be better.”

We had an amazing week, and will be booking again next year.
Mr Dalton August 2019

“Great central location for exploring the town of bowness and the rest of the lakes.”

The flat had everything we needed, we cooked a couple of meals in and didn't need anything extra apart from the food. On a couple of especially rainy evenings we stayed in and there was plenty for us to do, including the board games, the Nintendo Wii and the smart tv so we could login to our Netflix. Just like a home from home.

“The flat was wonderful and more spacious than expected.”

It was ideally located and filled our requirements exactly. Just a few minor comments that might help other visitors: 1. Please note that the Co-op referenced in the directions was the second that we passed. 2. I may have missed it in the guidance but the entry stairs might be a difficult for elderly visitors. 3. Warning that the entrance to the parking is narrow and not obviously a road might help. 4. Clarification that the flat entrance is at the front of the shops and on the main road would also help 5. The bathroom sink was taking it's time to empty. I think there is a blockage. 6. I left a phone charger plugged in to one of the bedrooms. I'd like it back please. I'll pay the postage but be aware that a replacement will be less than £10 from Amazon.

Thank you for your feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We have revised our directions. Thank you for bringing our attention to the problem regarding the sink, this issue resolved straight away upon your departure. We will have a look for the charger, and be in touch in due course.

“A great little flat, with decent facilities, in a great location close to all the shops and restaurants in bowness.”

We have stayed a lot in bowness and at many places some which charge a lot more, and this has to be one of the best places for value for money, all in all a great find, we will definitely be returning
Miss Caulton November 2018

“We have had the most fantastic weekend at miss potters loft!”

We holdiday regularly and have very high standards and I wasn’t sure what to expect from a loft apartment above a shop! But my goodness it was one of the loveliest places we have ever stayed! It was spotless, it had every thing we needed, it was in a perfect location and it felt so cosy and I honestly didn’t want to leave! Me and my husband said we would buy it at the drop of a hat if it ever went up for sale! Lots of bars restaurants and shops on our doorstep we were spoilt for choice! 10 out of 10 holiday
Mrs Graham August 2018

“Very comfortable and well equipped accommodation.”

Very central to Windermere and all it had to offer. Plenty of choice for places to eat out. Stunning scenery and lovely walks. Only down side, a little noisy at night from people eating pubs.
Mrs Watson July 2018

“Great location .”

Comfy bed. Parking a benefit.
Miss Parkar June 2018

“The flat had most of the things needed.”

Unfortunately it did not have a fan. We stayed during a heat wave and it was extremely hot in the flat. With all the windows open the road noise and general street noise was really loud and we struggled to get a good nights sleep. Overall however the flat was perfectly placed to get to all the attractions and was well furnished. The upside of being right on the road was that it was easy to drive to neighbouring towns. The flat was also in easy walking distance of a number of cafes,restaurants and bars as well as the waterfront.
Mr & Mrs Johnson April 2018

“This is a lovely little flat ideally situated for shops pubs etc.”

It was bright and airy. Fantastic location for leaving the car and exploring the area, either by walking or taking the boat trips across the lakes.

“Just Ideal”

Miss Potters loft looked lovely in the brochure, and did not disappoint. Directions to the apartment and the key location were spot on. The stairs up to the apartment were wide and not steep . The apartment was clean and spacious,with a comfortable feel. Lots of brochures and instructions for all the equipment, everything in working order. As the brochure says it is an ideal position for all that Bowness has to offer. The supermarket just yards away, bars,restaurants and shops easily found. The week we were there ,we had lovely weather, and did find the apartment quite warm when we came back in the late afternoon, but opening the doors to the false balcony soon cooled it down. The beds were very comfortable, and plenty of hanging space in the wardrobes. Television in the larger bedroom was a nice touch. I did have some trouble with the tv in the lounge,a minor annoyance that I did not seem to be able to correct. 5 minutes after switching on, an information banner from Panasonic appeared either at the top or bottom of the screen .I tried unsuccessfully to get rid of it permanently, but it kept coming back on. The bedrooms face the main road, making traffic noise audible at times. A great place, i would recommend.
