Bowderbeck Self Catering Holiday Cottage

Had such a great stay here recently. Amazing location for walking the local fells or around the lake. Cottage has everything you need. Really comfortable and plenty of space to keep all your gear. Highlight for my two boys (12&15) was tea in the bridge ( 5min walk) and paddle boarding on Buttermere lake. Plus a very late night game of Lakeland version of monopoly. ( thanks to Bowderbeck for supplying / sharing both!)Highly recommended (Selection of pictures taken from the lovely outdoor balcony deck area and lake)

We spent a week at Bowderbeck with friends and had a fantastic week. The cottage's location is close to both Buttermere village and the water (5-10 minute walk) which meant we didn't have to use the car that much. There is plenty of good walks from the cottage and can go further afield for a whole host more. The cottage is well equipped with a drying room which was great for wet and muddy kit. The kitchen has a good selection of pans, etc. The beds were incredibly comfortable. The sideboard was packed with games and jigsaws which was great. We loved the peace and quiet of the setting and was nice to disconnect from the world (there's isn't a TV), on clear nights the stars were amazing. All in all, one of the best holiday cottages I've stayed in and we will return.

We've been staying in Bowderbeck for years, since my boys were children and we recently went back with grandchildren. It was a wonderful stay, as always and my husband and I were able to utilise the renovation to the downstairs part of the house. However Buttermere lake is now so popular with paddle boarders and kayaker etc it has lost the beautiful tranquility it once had.

We recently stayed at Bowderbeck for a long weekend with my wife and young baby. The cottage was furnished to a very high standard, with the best drying/ boot room. Amazing decking and private picnic area that would be great in summer. Set in the most beautiful location, it was the perfect retreat. We found some great walks that weren't too strenuous and only 10mins to the local pub which served nice food and drink. Definitely planning to go back next year.
