About this property

Yonder Lea is a lovely holiday bungalow nestled in the stunning town of Bowness-on-Windermere. Situated close to the town centre and lake, and within the Lake District National Park, this abode is perfect for families and friends seeking a peaceful Cumbrian retreat. Be welcomed into a contemporary open-plan living space with everything you need to make your stay a memorable one. In the fully-equipped kitchen, you'll whip up delicious meals to enjoy around the dining table or out on the decking, as you peek through the trees and houses to spot Lake Windermere. Move into the sitting area and sink into a plush sofa to catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV. When the sun sets and you're ready for bed, retreat to one of four beautifully-decorated bedrooms to catch your rest in the super comfortable Hypos beds. The next morning, wake up and freshen up with a shower ready to take on the day. Venture out to explore the town of Bowness and you'll find The Pier for a delicious breakfast and Lake View Garden Bar for some lakeside pub dining. Those travelling with kids can also stop at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction to say hello to Peter Rabbit and his friends. Head up to Ambleside and visit the stunning 19th-century Wray Castle, hike up to Stock Ghyll Force for views of the beautiful waterfall and end the day with a family dinner at The Old Stamp House Restaurant. A stone's throw away you'll find Kendal where history-lovers can stroll through Kendal Museum, art-lovers can marvel at the pieces at Abbot Hall, and nature-lovers will enjoy a hike up Paddy Lane Viewpoint. Yonder Lea offers a memorable Cumbrian stay for all.

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, cinema, 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 three miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck are a short drive away. There is 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.

    Lovely house, spotlessly clean, very well equipped, very comfy beds. Great location can walk into Bowness on Windermere. Owner very friendly and enjoyed our visits from Murphy his dog. Would definitely stay again.

  • Claire

    The stunning property is a few minutes walk in to Windermere on a lovely quiet cul de sac. The property was clean and well set out. The beds were really comfortable. The owner was really friendly and helpful and we would definitely recommend and we will be looking to book again.

    Property is very clean and luxuriously appointed. The beds were comfortable (duvets probably a little too heavy/hot for June). The shower in main bathroom could do with a shelf on which to put shower gel/shampoo/conditioner. The rainfall shower head is probably too large for the cubicle but that's just personal taste. The Smart TV in the sitting room relies on you logging in to your own Netflix and I-player accounts but the downside is the poor wi-fi - everything takes an age to "buffer" making some programmes almost impossible to watch. The guidebook does say that faster broadband should be coming to Bowness. You need to scan a QR code to get the instructions on how to operate the ovens/microwave. A lovely short break, despite the weather. I rated comfort as a 4 out of 5 as the luxury leather sofa is quite low for those of us with dodgy hips (as are the two smaller chairs). Would certainly recommend.
