  • "The property was fantastic, clean everything you need is supplied."

    Only downside for our party was the very steep hills to get to the property. We had my 80 year old mother with us who is very fit, but she struggled with the banks. We just had taxis back, so no problem just needs stating in the advert. 10/10

    Thank you for your positive review. I will ask Lakelovers to mention the hill in the property description. We are adding a few things for 2025 and will fine tuning the property details! Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful 4 days at Yonder Lea."

    Lovely house, spotlessly clean, very well equipped, very comfy beds. Great location can walk into Bowness on Windermere. Owner very friendly and enjoyed our visits from Murphy his dog. Would definitely stay again.

    Thank you for your lovely review! I’m sorry about Murphy imposing, I don’t think every guest would appreciate him so I have had gates put up so he can’t get into the garden. Also it will make it more secure for guests with dogs and young children Property Owner

  • "We are just back from a lovely weekend away at Yonder Lea."

    The stunning property is a few minutes walk in to Windermere on a lovely quiet cul de sac. The property was clean and well set out. The beds were really comfortable. The owner was really friendly and helpful and we would definitely recommend and we will be looking to book again.

    Thank you for such lovely feedback - much appreciated! Property Owner

  • "A beautiful bungalow in a quiet residential cul-de-sac with views towards Lake Windermere in the distance."

    Property is very clean and luxuriously appointed. The beds were comfortable (duvets probably a little too heavy/hot for June). The shower in main bathroom could do with a shelf on which to put shower gel/shampoo/conditioner. The rainfall shower head is probably too large for the cubicle but that's just personal taste. The Smart TV in the sitting room relies on you logging in to your own Netflix and I-player accounts but the downside is the poor wi-fi - everything takes an age to "buffer" making some programmes almost impossible to watch. The guidebook does say that faster broadband should be coming to Bowness. You need to scan a QR code to get the instructions on how to operate the ovens/microwave. A lovely short break, despite the weather. I rated comfort as a 4 out of 5 as the luxury leather sofa is quite low for those of us with dodgy hips (as are the two smaller chairs). Would certainly recommend.

    Hello thank you for your review! I have ordered a shower caddy for the main bathroom room and some lighter weight duvets . According to Open Reach faster WiFi speeds are now available and hopefully BT will upgrade shortly! Thanks again Property Owner
