The White House

Bowness-on-Windermere

Located in Bowness-on-Windermere in the Cumbria region, The White House is a 5-star property featuring free WiFi.

The property suggested a nearby car park, which we were able to find easily (though the pay machines were a bit dodgy with international credit cards) and it was only a short stroll to the house. Instructions to get in were fairly strait forward. The rooms were as described - a good sized queen and separate single with adjoining bathroom. I'm sad I didn't get to try out the awesome bath but the double shower was great! The location is excellent, with a short stroll to many eateries and the main shops etc. Mini bar fridge was appreciated.

Beautifully decorated and every single detail was carefully thought. Very modern with mood lights in the living room and bedroom and electric curtains to make the room extra dark. We had the best sleep there. The mattress is confortable and I couldn't feel my boyfriend moving during the night. We came back considering to change our mattress. You have a little fridge and appliances to make your stay cozy and practical. To be honest I was expecting to spend the holidays hiking and taking the boat around the lake but we decided to stay in the flat and relax instead watching TV in the dark. Would definitely come back for more relaxing days.

The room was perfect. So beautiful and the bath was amazing. We loved having a little kitchen as well, everything you needed for a short stay. Check in was easy. Location was amazing you could get to everything within walking distance. The owners sent a list of recommended places to eat for dinner and breakfast which really helped! We chose one of their recommendations and the meal was perfect. Thank you so much for a lovely stay! Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic place to stay! Would recommend to anyone! Me and the family absolutely loved it! The location was great! The view from the apartment was incredible! The bedding was exceptional! The kitchen cutlery/utensils were amazing! But what really clinched it for us, was the Table Football/Foosball!(Especially my 11 year old, It made his weekend that extra special!) Thank you for your accommodation! It was very much appreciated!

We spent 2 nights at the Churchills hotel with our dog. Very nice service, great location, a minute's walk from the lake. We were very pleasantly surprised at how dog-friendly this town is, which we were very worried about while driving. We recommend it to anyone who hasn't been there yet, a very nice place to stay.
