About this property

Lexington House is a superb detached Lakeland residence located less than 500m from the shores of Lake Windermere and a short stroll to the vibrant village of Bowness. The property offers a boutique, luxurious feel.

Enter into a stylish lounge with log burning stove, sumptuous furnishings and bespoke booth dining table. A high quality kitchen with breakfast bar and modern appliances provides the perfect space for preparing family meals. The first of three bedrooms is on the ground floor; a king size bedroom with en-suite shower room. Upstairs two further bedrooms can be presented as a king and super king or twin. Both rooms are en-suite and all three bedrooms are beautifully finished with Egyptian cotton linen.

Social occasions can be celebrated on outdoor sofas in a large courtyard around a welcoming fire pit. Parking is provided for four cars.

    From booking to end of trip Rebecca and Phil were the perfect hosts , always quickly responsive and helpful. The quality of everything in the house was luxurious, the bedding was outstanding. The property was spotless and beautiful. Such a perfect location for a wonderful getaway, lots of great walks from your doorstep , situated in a quiet location and yet only 5 mins walk from everything you’ll need . Bowness has lots of restaurants, pubs , shops , museums, basically has something for everyone from young to old . Our favourites were - Bodega Tapas Bar, Gilpin Spice, The Westmorland Inn for a tasty Sunday lunch , The Old John Peel Inn was a real pub with lovely friendly landlady Claire , made us feel so welcome. We had our dog with us and almost everywhere is dog friendly, treats everywhere we went . Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get away for a truly wonderful time, we will definitely be back, thank you Rebecca and Phil

    Although the weather wasn’t the greatest, we had a wonderful weekend. We like to come and visit the Lakes quite often, but Lexington house made our stay this time round. Can’t fault anything at all. Great communication with Rebecca & Phil who are always on hand to answer any questions we had. The house was beautiful and clean. We will definitely look at coming back in the future. Thank you for a lovely stay x
