This contemporary apartment is the ideal warm and welcoming base for a couple or family to experience your next Lake District adventure. Only a short walk from the most popular Lake District towns, you will quickly feel this is a true home from home and a place you can relax in. Within a short walk you will be in the vibrant town of Bowness-On-Windermere with all it has to offer, from pubs and restaurants to cafés, delis and coffee shops. A short walk in the other direction will bring you to the town centre of Windermere with its own selection of shops, restaurants and supermarkets. Then during the day, head down to the shore of Lake Windermere, take in the beautiful views before joining a tour of the lake via the steamboats or if you prefer, hire some Kayaks and have your own mini adventures.

On entering the property, you firstly enter the spacious open-plan kitchen/diner with beautiful bay windows which capture the sun. Here you will find everything you need to cook up a storm with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer along with a dining table and chairs to sit and enjoy your meal. Head along the corridor to the high-ceilinged lounge with two leather sofas and Smart TV making this the perfect spot to relax with a film after a day’s exploring. Also, there is a separate WC located opposite the lounge. Head upstairs to the first floor where there are two bedrooms, one king-size and one super-king size (which can be made into a twin, must be stated at the time of booking). Both rooms have plenty of storage space and retain many of the old property’s features. Finally, there is the bathroom with bath, separate shower cubicle and WC.

Great location, easy parking. No expense spared on the quality and the amount of facilities available. The only thing I would mention is that this part of the property is on the first floor, so one flight of stairs upto the accommodation and another to the bedrooms and bathroom. This wasnt a problem for us, but could be if you struggle with steps. Read moreOverall I would wholly recommend. Hide

Upper Thornbarrow is a great place to stay , the flat is very clean and well equipped large enough for a family , great kitchen space. Shame that the garden is only for the use of the lower flat but other than that we had a perfect stay . Nice welcome pack left for us . Great location to get into Bowness for Boat trips , pubs and restaurants and shRead moreops , or to Windermere both are very easily walkable. Hide

Overall, Upper Thornbarrow is a comfortable and good-sized apartment within walking distance of both Windermere and Bowness. We did not find it as clean and well-cared for as expected, especially in the bedrooms. The kitchen was spacious and the living area cosy.

The cottage was lovely and clean with comfy sofas and a spacious kitchen, in walking distance to Windermere and Bowness but up a quiet street with plenty of parking. We had a great time celebrating my mums birthday with a dog and baby in tow!

We had a great time at the cottage. It was spotlessly clean and would highly recommend the cottage. Great location for all amenities too. Holiday cottages were great from start to finish and was very helpful. Would certainly use them again.

Very much enjoyed the stay at this property, everything was really nice and comfortable especially decent mattresses. Great shower and everything you need. Property had been very well cleaned prior arrival. Quiet location yet easy walking distance to either Windermere or Bowness. Plenty of parking on the road even on a bank holiday at any time.
