The Bird's Nest makes this well looked after 3 bedroom cosy bungalow a little slice of paradise, and the glorious surroundings offer the best of the Lake District on your doorstep. simply spend lazy days on the patio or in the garden. Soak up the sun on wintry days in the warmth of the conservatory or eat al-fresco meals on the patio before retiring to the cosy living room. Stunning walks start straight from the door, including up to the Biskey Howe viewpoint above Bowness, from where the whole of Lake Windermere can be seen. Not only the birds want to build their nest at this place! All on one level it is a perfect base for anyone with walking difficulties or who can't manage stairs. This cosy property has some underfloor heating with additional fire in lounge and heater in the conservatory. The property has just had a new roof fitted to the conservatory which overlooks a well maintained private garden.

Enjoyed our stay, few issues. Advised off street parking but drive to short for average car and garage locked and filled with furniture. Water pressure very poor could not fill the bath at all as plug not sealing. Under Microwave very dirty and greecy. Cushions outside sodden wet,we dried and left inconsevatory. No control allowed on central heating.

Disappointing
The location was good and it had a nice garden. However, the bedding and the dust in the house let this house down. Very heavy old fashioned and cumbersome bedding with too many cushions just harbouring dust. Not ideal for a home being shared by so many people. We were a party of 4 for 4 days and 2 people had to leave after 2 days as they one of them had an asthma attack in the middle of the night. He was fine when he got out of the house so I can only put it down to the bedding or dust in the house. I hoovered and the hoover was also very smelly. The middle bedroom also has to hear very loud plumbing noises from the ensuite

Very clean and cozy property
The property was really beautiful and clean.. wifi was super slow don't bother login in. Kitchen is bit tight but has everything u need including BBQ in the garden(BBQ is available to use). If ur thinking to cook then plz take ur own frying pan there is one but thats super sticky. Garden is really pretty if u like privacy then that will be a perfect choice. Could do with little bit more plates and forks. Overall very beautiful and cozy cottage. We had a lovely time

Bungalow was ideally situated for us, we had a few minutes walking to get to either Bowness of Windermere. We know the area very well as we return every year, this location was the the best.

As a family this house wa the best for elderly and disabled because the living space is in one level. Nice rap around garden but little used due to the weather but helpful to have a dryer to use.

No complaints... great location and accommodation
Had a lovely few days at this property, was in good location close to Bowness and very quiet, car parking directly outside and garden safe and ideal for my dog. It was an extremely hot week and the garden offered areas of shade or sun. The accommodation provided all facilities including washer, dishwasher, en-suite etc. There is a steep hill to and from the accommodation so i needed to use my car as both my parents would have struggled to walk into Bowness but other than that, no complaints at all and hope to return. No hesitation in recommending the property to anyone looking for somewhere near to Bowness and a base to explore the Lakes

Bowness on Windermere
We had a wonderful holiday in the cottage, everything was just perfect, bowness on Windermere is a beautiful place lovely bars and restaurants, boat trips were brilliant, the cottage was a perfect location for visiting other areas in the Lake District, the hill up too the cottage is a bit steep only 120 yards though , taxi from the town cheap at £4 , we would definitely use this place again

Excellent property had everything you needed for a week away. Host left us a lovely fresh cream sandwich cake and tea for arrival. Property between windermere Town and bowness Town both within walking distance however just one thing to mention there is quite a steep road up to the cottage which was a struggle for my mum so we had to bring the car down each time we went out but apart from that an excellent holiday home and I hope to book again.

Lovely Property and Location
Well equipped property and ample space for six adults to sleep eat and relax. Excellent location for walking into both Windermere and Bowness on Windermere and a great place from which to explore further into the Lake District. The kitchen is is not huge but is has everything you need to rustle up a meal, and a bonus fridge / freezer in the garage. We had a very wet week so the conservatory was another bonus as place to sit . As other reviews have mentioned there has been problems with a leaky roof but this had been addressed and it was nice that the owner did show up to check all was good with the repairs as we'd had a two day deluge. So all in all ideal accommodation to pass a week in the lakes whatever the weather. We would definitely recommend a stay here or stay ourselves again. Only downside was nothing to do with the property, but the VRBO app yet again not appearing to allow contact with the host without having to go through the torment of the VRBO chat/helpline .

Would definitly use vrbo again. This was a lovely house with every thing you need to make it home from home. The roof in the conservatory needs attention as leaked when it rained. The lady told us she had reported it before to vrbo who told her it was now ok. I informed her it was not as i would hate for the property to be ruined
