Lingmoor is a well-received holiday cottage praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location near Bowness-On-Windermere. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, spaciousness, and quiet setting. The property boasts scenic views and is within walking distance to local amenities, though the steep hill access is noted. Maintenance and thoughtful touches like games and books add to the positive experience, although some minor wear and decor updates are suggested.
The property consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting it as spotless and well-maintained. The cleaning team is often thanked for their efforts, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to Bowness-On-Windermere and local amenities. However, the steep hill leading to the property is frequently mentioned, which could be challenging for some guests, slightly impacting the score.
Guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of the comfortable lounge furniture and beds. However, there are a few remarks about the need for new mattresses and sofa updates, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
The property is well-equipped with a full kitchen, outdoor spaces, and entertainment options like games and DVDs. Some guests suggest upgrades to the TV and internet services, but overall, the facilities meet the needs of most visitors.
While guests appreciate the extras such as books, films, and games, there is no mention of gifts or welcome packs in the reviews. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness in terms of gifts, and the score is set to null.
This comfortable, modern holiday home is perfectly situated for groups looking to combine the solitude of Lake Windermere and surrounding countryside with the hustle and bustle of village life. Lingmoor is an extremely comfortable home-from-home, with generous living space complimented by both a balcony and rear patio garden, perfect for al-fresco dining.
With plenty of room for storing walking boots and outdoor clothing, the entrance hall leads to a handy ground floor shower room and wc. Up just a few steps is the lovely bright living space with French windows leading out to the pretty patio garden and access on to the sunny terrace. Deep cushioned leather sofas are clustered around a cosy wood burning stove, making this the perfect place to relax after a delicious supper prepared in Lingmoor’s large and well-equipped kitchen.
The three striking bedrooms are situated on the second floor of this charming property. The master bedroom with king size bed, a double and a twin. An immaculate house bathroom is also on this floor, a lovely room with shower over the bath.
Bowness itself is a lively village, bursting with interesting shops, cafés and a great choice of restaurants. The famous ‘World of Beatrix Potter’ is only a short walk from Lingmoor, and the lake has so much to offer. Windermere Lake Cruises cross regularly to Ambleside and Lakeside where guests can visit the Lakes Aquarium or take a trip on the fascinating Lakeside & Haverthwaite railway. There’s no better place to occupy children from nought to ninety nine.
The vibrant twin towns of Bowness and Windermere hold enduring appeal for visitors to the Lake District National Park, with each providing a range of nearby attractions, amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes. A variety of boat trips and boat hire are available from Windermere Lake Cruises in Bowness to Brockhole, Ambleside and Lakeside (at the southern end of the lake where the Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway are situated). The World of Beatrix Potter attraction and the Old Laundry theatre are 1.5 miles away. 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. There are also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake. The area is ideally situated for exploring all that this region has to offer, whether by foot, bike, car, railway or bus; and is within easy reach of attractions such as the spectacular Langdales, Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top House at Far Sawrey, Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park, with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking and “Go-Ape” adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike.
