We would definitely want to come back. Very small niggles. The shower in the master bedroom didn't drain properly and was overflowing onto the floor (we reported that)and the cords on the blinds in the bedrooms were tangled. The location is perfect and the teenagers loved the cinema room downstairs. The kitchen is very well equipped too (a wee pint of milk for arrival would be nice)

Location was brilliant to discover all things Windermere and Bowness-On-Windermere. We cannot fault the place and will definitely be looking to book again next year.
