Brantlea Reviews

Wonderful property in a fantastic location for the restaurants, shops & bars of Bowness. The house was spotless on arrival, weve stayed in many properties and Brantlea was absolutely 5 stars. The welcome pack on arrival was a lovely gesture. Highly recommended, perfect for our party of 7 adults & a dog. Anyone thinking of booking this property, then do it! We were very sad to leave!

Simon, thank you for letting us use your beautiful house. Amazing views, peaceful and just perfect in every way. My 50th Birthday with the ladies was fantastic! Many thanks

Yvonne

We enjoyed a wonderful family break in Brantlea. The property was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub, the outside eating space and the panoramic view from the dining area. Would readily recommend as a lovely place to stay.

Donna, Helen, Jacob, Ellie, Sophie, Jack & Rosie

Thank you Simon, happy family memories shared and created in the most beautiful of homes.

The Terry Mob

Great time, great house and great weather. Many thanks

Katerina

The house is so much better than in the picture. It has everything you need for a comfort stay. The terrace has gorgeous views for the sunset. The house is walkable to the village with plenty of restaurants and things to do and see. Hiking trail starts right outside the house. Jacuzzi was fantastic and located further up the hill behind the house with gorgeous lake views. We stayed with 2 years old child and she really enjoyed walking around the house up and down the steps. It is safely secured with stairs gates and has baby cot and high chair. Welcome basket with local produces was amazing thank you for having us!

Olivia

Amazing property! Has everything you need and ticks so many boxes for a group stay nice and spacious with a bathroom for every bedroom, has a hot tub with incredible views and is in a great location, just a short walk to pubs and shops. Simon is a fantastic host who had good communication with us. This was my second time here and wouldn't hesitate to come back again. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Bowness!

Esther

Fabulous house in wonderful location!

Darren

Simon's place is fabulous. Luxurious, with everything you could need. Such a short walk into Bowness but so peaceful too, and those views! We had the best family short break and didn't want to leave. Simon was a great host, start to finish.

The pictures do not do this location the justice it deserves! Perfect house for 8 of us to celebrate three 50th Birthdays. A short walk into Bowness with lots to see and do, if walking though be mindful there are some inclines back up! The hot tub view was amazing and an added bonus to this house. Simon was a very attentive host, answered very quick to any queries in the lead up and also during our stay. All in all a fab long weekend, great house and location. Would definitely recommend!

A great house for a great break in the Lakes. 10 The property is in a great location, just a 10 minute walk from the centre of Bowness. There is a great view from the property looking out across the lake. The view is even better from the summer house hot tub. The rooms were all spacious, wellequipped and very clean. The property worked extremely well for our party with an age range of 7 to 60 and a dog. I would highly recommend a stay at Brantlea.

A fabulous multigenerational family holiday in a perfect location in a beautiful house. Outstanding property, exceptional views. The accommodation was perfect for our family of 5. Plenty of together space for sitting or dining while plenty of space for everyone to get some peace. Simply stunning views from the hot tub. Easy walk to Bowness but very quiet and peaceful area. Unbeatable, frankly. For us it would be difficult to improve.

Helen & Friends

An amazing house with spectacular views! ! Everything thought of to make the stay enjoyable, great location and hot tub hide away, very tranquil with spectacular views. Thank you Simon for the meet & greet and giving tips and suggestions for walks. We have made more great memories and laughs as friends and with the beautiful house this has been an enjoyable weekend. Thank you

Michael, Denise, Eva & Wilson The Dog

Perfect house, amazing views and hope to come back soon. Thank you.

Cameron

I can't speak highly enough about our stay at Brantlea! The communication upon booking was fantastic and that continued right through until we checked out. The property itself was stunning, by far the best property I have stayed in, you then add in the cleanliness, modernness and overall homeliness ofthe house, everything was just perfect! The lovely welcome pack too was a really nice touch too and you can tell real thought had been put into this! The location was a perfect balance of peace and quiet, whilst being conveniently close to local restaurants, shops, and anything you may need. If you're looking to stay here, I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

k, Diane, Emily, Dave, Sheila And Daisy Dog

Fantastic house that catered for all our needs and is in beautiful surroundings, I'm looking forward to staying here again soon. Thank you so much!

Kotchakorn

Simon was an exceptional host. The accommodation was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. Simon s local recommendations enhanced our trip restaurant, and their prompt communication made everything seamless. Highly recommend staying here

We booked Simon's place for a family weekend to celebrate my Dad's 70th. It was the perfect home from home for us, but with added luxury! It's a beautiful house with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Board games, kitchen utensils, plenty of towels every last detail had been thought of, and didn't go unnoticed. Simon was flexible with checkin, and we were fortunate to meet him when we were leaving, to thank him for an amazing stay. The pictures don't quite do it justice it's a stunning property, ideal location and views to die for. Won't hesitate to stay again. We got balloons delivered from a nearby company, and a supermarket shop delivery too. My nephews are 5 and 7, and my parents turning 70 we all loved it even the dog who's not quite 1! Book it you'll not regret it!

Brantlea is a beautiful spacious high standard property with lovely views. It is clean and warm with everything you need for a comfortable stay, and is just 10 mins walk to Bowness and the lakefront. The owner Simon was friendly and helpful and he kindly accommodated us with our arrival times. There was a lovely welcome pack waiting for us on our arrival and also a useful manual was left which had all the info we needed. We had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend! Thank you Simon

Wow, what a fabulous stay. The house and views were stunning. The kitchen was very well equipped and the living room and bedrooms were very comfortable. Simon's communication was excellent very responsive. He also left us a lovely welcome hamper which was much appreciated. Highly recommended.

Great location, accommodation was super clean and tidy. Lots of space, dog friendly and amazing views. We had the most amazing relaxing stay. The hot tub at the end of a long walk looking out over Windermere was absolutely perfect. Great location for a number of walks and ten minute walk into Bowness. Photos don't do it justice.

Tracey, John, Paul, y, Joe, Amy & Jovi

This is a lovely hoe with excellent facilities. We made lovely family memories and watched our beautiful baby take his first steps never to be forgotten.

Great location. The house has everything you could possibly need. Simon was a fantastic host.

Tracey

Fabulous stay friendly and helpful owner. Perfect location will definitely stay again!

One of the best houses weve rented! The quality of finish to the rooms and interior was excellent. Everything was very clean and the facilities were well thought to make our stay as comfortable as possible and a home from home. A lovely welcome hamper made a great start to the stay and a visit from Simon the owner to show us around the house on our arrival was thoughtful. Great location as well!

The Lakes

Great time had by all of us. Beautiful property, giving us everything we need. Loving the lakes as always, hope to be back sometime. Thanks Simon for the loan of his beautiful house.

The Sulivans

A great family New Year's stay for our daughters 30th Birthday. It was nice to be greeted by Simon on our arrival for a tour & familiarisation of the house. The house is lovely with a great layout & finished to a very high quality I all respects! We found everything we needed to make our stay comfortable & home from home. We love the hot tub & views on the sunny days we were lucky to get. Thanks for the welcoming hamper! It was a pleasant surprise & lovely start to our stay.

We have had an amazing stay, the house was even more impressive than the pictures! The views from the hot tub are spectacular, we were in it every day. It has been the most equipped house we've stayed in, the kitchen has everything you could think of! Thank you for a perfect week away before the Christmas chaos! Also to add my sons girlfried only went and booked the house we tried and failed to buy 16 years ago! What a treat. Fantastic week.

Fabulous place to stay, just what the doctor ordered Loved the view from the hot tub Credit to the owners beautifully furnished and very peaceful Only suggestion I would make is to write on the website that hot tub towels,flip flops and robes should be taken, this would enhance your visit 1010 excellent

Denise

Excellent property, very clean and comfortable, has everything you would need and more. Close to the town. Owner very friendly and helpful.

Absolutely found a perfect property with this one. The 5 reviews were all spot on. The property was immaculate through out, clean, clutter free, rooms all beautifully decorated, fully equipped kitchen. Both our children have additional needs and severe sensory requirements, this property met all their needs and they have in fact stated that this was their favourite property that they have stayed in. I honestly can not rate this property high enough. We will certainly be rebooking.
