Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests have generally found the property to be clean, though there have been several mentions of specific cleanliness issues such as half-washed cutlery, a dirty fridge, and windows not being cleaned. These appear to be isolated incidents rather than a consistent problem.
The location is highly commended for its stunning views and proximity to Bowness-On-Windermere, making it an ideal base for exploring the Lake District. The ease of access to local amenities and attractions has been a highlight for many guests.
The majority of guests have found the property to be comfortable, well-furnished, and warm. However, some guests mentioned issues with beds being too soft and a lack of curtains or blinds affecting room temperature and sleep quality.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially for adults and families without babies. Some guests reported maintenance issues such as problematic patio doors and a broken toilet seat. The high chair and cot provided for babies were not up to expectations for some.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owners or managers. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Location
On the eastern shores of Lake Windermere, Bowness is a sophisticated Lakeland village with a wealth to explore and enjoy. Stroll to the lake shore to hire a row boat or power boat, or take an elegant cruise on one of the Lake Windermere steamers. Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly to Ambleside and Lakeside; a wonderful way to explore without even using your car. There are several excellent restaurants in Bowness village, within walking distance of Lauron's View. The Porto Restaurant is a long-standing favourite for stylish dining and Jackson's Bistro, always a firm favourite while Bodegas & Sol, The Fizzy Tarte and Baha add a contemporary twist to the wide offering of bars with food options. There are also plenty of traditional Lakeland pubs, both in the village centre and the surrounding countryside, the Bowness to Kendal road celebrated as being the gastro route where you'll find The Brown Horse, The Hare and Hounds, The Black Labrador, Mason's Arms and Lyth Valley Country Inn. Close to the village, you'll find Blackwell, The Arts and Crafts House. This impressive property takes a stunning position overlooking Lake Windermere, and has a range of interesting exhibitions. Join the A591 to Ambleside and Grasmere to explore the homes of famous Lake District poet, William Wordsworth and beyond to Keswick, the route named most scenic in Britain, easy to see why. Another great idea is to take the car-ferry crossing, with or without your bikes over Lake Windermere from Bowness, to visit the former home of Beatrix Potter in Near Sawrey, and the picturesque village of Hawkshead, a quaint, Lakeland village with white washed cottages lining the main square intermingled with a selection of pubs, cafes and galleries

Orrest Head, where Alfred Wainwright was inspired to write his series of iconic guidebooks, is a 30-minute walk to enjoy the spectacular panorama of far-reaching views over the lake and surrounding fells. Brockhole, which offers high wire tree top experiences, is less than two miles away, and the historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside and Troutbeck are a short drive away. There are also a variety of watersports on offer for the more energetic at marine centres along the lake.

Margaret
Laurons View tops the lot by far. As soon as we walked in we felt at home. Very attractive accommodation and comfortable throughout. Everything provided. It was great having a safe garden for children. The views were to die for. Outside furniture on balcony and different parts of garden was lovely. If we stay in Bowness again Laurons View would be too of list to stay in.

The location was incredible, a short walk into Bowness. The house was clean and modern and had everything we couldâve needed. A massive plus was the balcony with exceptional views, we were also lucky enough to see a couple of jets flying by. A couple of minor niggles which we left a note of in the little book, the patio door didnât lock which we contacted Lakelovers about, they sent maintenance who advised they would let the owners know. The kitchen window drops when opened so had to be pushed shut from the outside. One of the side lamps in the main bedroom doesnât work, we tried a new bulb also and it didnât work. One of the planks on the deck has splintered slightly so we moved the coffee table onto it to avoid anyone standing on it. Overall, nothing that affected our stay much, we would definitely recommend and would absolutely stay again! Thank you!!

Very clean & very well stocked. Amazing gardens all around the property and plenty of sitting areas - Great views over Lake Windermere from the main balcony at the front and also through the large living room windows. Really good location close to Bowness lakeside (although fairly steep hill to climb on way back - but shouldn't deter since many people come to Lake District for steep climbs! We will certainly return.
