Guests say
Kim's Retreat is a well-located, comfortable, and spotlessly clean apartment, ideal for exploring both Bowness and Windermere. Guests consistently praise its convenience, on-site parking, and cosy atmosphere, with many returning for repeat stays. The property is well-equipped and spacious, with a super-comfy bed and a pleasant outdoor seating area. While some mention occasional noise from the flat above and a cooler lounge in colder months, the overall experience is highly positive, making it a popular choice for a relaxing break in the Lakes.
Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, with guests describing the apartment as very clean, spotless, and well-maintained. Only minor comments about some soft furnishings needing a wash were noted, but these did not detract from the overall impression.
The location is a standout feature, with guests appreciating the easy walking distance to both Bowness and Windermere, proximity to public transport, and the benefit of on-site parking. The setting is described as both convenient and peaceful.
Guests find the apartment comfortable and cosy, especially praising the king-size bed and overall homely feel. A few mention the lounge can be a little cool in colder months, but this is outweighed by the general comfort and warmth of the property.
The apartment is well-equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay, including a well-stocked kitchen and outdoor patio. Some minor maintenance issues (e.g., a non-working heater, broken hairdryer) were quickly resolved, and suggestions for larger towels or a coffee machine were made.
Guests appreciated small touches such as a pop-up Christmas tree during the festive season. However, several mentioned that a welcome pack would have been appreciated. Please note that gifts or extras are not guaranteed and may not be provided with every stay.

Good stay at Kim’s Retreat. We had a maintenance issue not long after arriving and Cottages.com sorted it within 2 hours so excellent service. Flat is comfortable in a convenient and quiet location. Good to have a parking space and the flat has a nice little outdoor seating area off the lounge. Would happily book again.Recommend Garden View Bar, Fizzy Tarte and Easy Breeze.

A fantastic place to stay. Very spacious and comfortable. It has everything you could possibly need. It's close enough to everything that you don't have to walk far and far enough away so as not to be disturbed by holiday makers. I highly recommend a stay there. So much so that we are thinking of booking again for next year.
