    Walkers Boat House is an excellent property sitting directly on lakeside with stunning views across Windermere and to the fells beyond.A quality restoration of the original boat house it has everything needed, it is very well finished and spotlessly clean.

    Our stay at Helen’s was perfect (even with a little bit of rain). The property is immaculate and close to all the local amenities. We would revisit in a heartbeat.

    Fantastic property in a lovely location. We walked to Bowness every day.Better than I think the listing captured - nice set up with bedrooms and bathroom coming off the long enterance hallway. Big living area and balcony and nice kitchen.More classic than ultra modern looking but we really liked that - and I think that's one reason it was better than we imagined.Exactly what we needed and great host communication

    As advertised this property is extremely clean, comfortable and updated. Was a perfect location and retreat in the region being close to towns and restaurants but nice and quiet on the lake. Helen the owner also close by and very helpful & communicative. We had a great stay and would come back for sure.
