As you arrive by car via Langrigge Park The Lookout Lodge is unassuming but once inside you will see why we called it the The Lookout Lodge!

“Excellent location, views and home comfort.” The location is excellent with only a 5 min walk into Winderemere. The lodge is in a quite area, with lovely views of the lake, comfortable and well equipped with good sized rooms. The decorated christmas tree in the living room was a nice touch. The bedrooms were excellent with really comfortable beds and the good supply of toys and books available were brilliant for our two year old granddaughter and kept her very well occupied. The bathroom/shower room is very spacious with plenty of hot water. Overall the property is excellent and I would definitely rent it again. Highly recommended,

“Fantastic Place to Stay” We stayed at Lookout Lodge over the half term weekend and I must admit we have found a gem. The location is great, being 5 minutes walking distance from the centre of town. The rooms and house overall were of good quality and I would not hesitate recommending this to any family who wants a base to stay in Bowness.

“Great Holiday House” The keys were posted in good time. The instructions for the house were very clear and helpful. Location is perfect, easy walk to town, we never used our car. The house itself is great. Layout, furnishing, views all good - wish I could live there!

“Love the Lookout Lodge” The Lookout Lodge was perfect for us, the living room is cozy and comfortable with beautiful views over Bowness and and the lake. The kitchen is ideal for nights in where cooking is an option with everything provided. The bedrooms again were cozy and beautifully decorated with lovely comfy beds and big snuggly duvets. The garden was ideal for our dog to stretch her legs and we even had the chance to use the garden table and chairs provided a couple of afternoons when the sun was shining. The location is excellent only a short (but steep!) walk from the centre of Bowness, with plenty of parking out front. We will definately stay in the Lookout Lodge on our next visit to Bowness.

“A Beautiful holiday home” We booked the house for ourselves, two foster children and an adult placement that we look after. The house had everything we needed, and a whole lot more, as well as being beautifully clean, nicely decorated, nice secluded garden for the children and dog. The lounge and dining room had great views of the lake, we were very close to all amenities. The area is very hilly however, we're all fit so it didn't bother us at all. The central heating system wasn't very user friendly, but again, we hardly needed it. We would certainly not hesitate to book it again in the near future.
