Guests consistently praise the property's comfort, well-furnished spaces, and the amazing views over Lake Windermere. The garden and balcony are highlights, offering relaxation and wildlife sightings. While some guests encountered maintenance issues and cleanliness oversights, the responsive service and overall experience have led to repeat visits and strong recommendations.
The property generally meets expectations for cleanliness, but there are several mentions of specific issues such as a dirty fridge, half-washed cutlery, and dusty surfaces. These instances suggest room for improvement, although they seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views and proximity to local amenities, making it a standout feature of the property. Guests appreciate the easy access to Bowness and the beautiful surroundings.
Comfort is well-regarded with guests finding the property warm, well-furnished, and comfortable. However, some guests noted issues with beds being too soft and a lack of curtains affecting temperature control.
Facilities are generally appreciated, especially for adults, but there are comments about baby facilities not meeting expectations. Maintenance issues like problematic doors and a damaged cooking hob were noted, although the property is equipped with amenities that guests find satisfactory.
There is insufficient information regarding thoughtful touches such as welcome packs or gifts. No reviews mention these aspects, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Location
On the eastern shores of Lake Windermere, Bowness is a sophisticated Lakeland village with a wealth to explore and enjoy. Stroll to the lake shore to hire a row boat or power boat, or take an elegant cruise on one of the Lake Windermere steamers. Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly to Ambleside and Lakeside; a wonderful way to explore without even using your car. There are several excellent restaurants in Bowness village, within walking distance of Lauron's View. The Porto Restaurant is a long-standing favourite for stylish dining and Jackson's Bistro, always a firm favourite while Bodegas & Sol, The Fizzy Tarte and Baha add a contemporary twist to the wide offering of bars with food options. There are also plenty of traditional Lakeland pubs, both in the village centre and the surrounding countryside, the Bowness to Kendal road celebrated as being the gastro route where you'll find The Brown Horse, The Hare and Hounds, The Black Labrador, Mason's Arms and Lyth Valley Country Inn. Close to the village, you'll find Blackwell, The Arts and Crafts House. This impressive property takes a stunning position overlooking Lake Windermere, and has a range of interesting exhibitions. Join the A591 to Ambleside and Grasmere to explore the homes of famous Lake District poet, William Wordsworth and beyond to Keswick, the route named most scenic in Britain, easy to see why. Another great idea is to take the car-ferry crossing, with or without your bikes over Lake Windermere from Bowness, to visit the former home of Beatrix Potter in Near Sawrey, and the picturesque village of Hawkshead, a quaint, Lakeland village with white washed cottages lining the main square intermingled with a selection of pubs, cafes and galleries

Orrest Head, where Alfred Wainwright was inspired to write his series of iconic guidebooks, is a 30-minute walk to enjoy the spectacular panorama of far-reaching views over the lake and surrounding fells. Brockhole, which offers high wire tree top experiences, is less than two miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck are a short drive away.

Shame they canât do anything about the views but it changes all the time on the landscapes with the weather which makes it even better. Great to watch the fighter planes going over the lake at certain times of the day. Didnât see the deer in the garden this time but 3 out of 5 visits isnât bad. Only slight niggle was TV wasnât working on the aerial which didnât bother us too much as we didnât go to watch tv but itâs just handy if you want too watch the news or weather. It does however have smart TVs in all rooms with all the I-players (BBC, ITV, Netflix etc)to log in to Will definately be booking again soon.

Laurons View tops the lot by far. As soon as we walked in we felt at home. Very attractive accommodation and comfortable throughout. Everything provided. It was great having a safe garden for children. The views were to die for. Outside furniture on balcony and different parts of garden was lovely. If we stay in Bowness again Laurons View would be too of list to stay in.
