Thrang View, Chapel Stile
Had a great 2 weeks in this lovely property. The location has views on all sides and there are masses of walking that can be done from the doorstep, we hardly used the car. Chapel Stile is a pretty little village with a well equipped local store and the Wainwright's Inn, both within walking distance.
The property is a well laid out bungalow with good facilities. The garden with it's garden furniture is a great place to have breakfast in the morning and a relaxing drink or two after walking all day - will definitely return to this property.
Ecclerigg Garth, Lake District
A superb property right on the banks of Lake Windermere, great for families with loads to do at Brockhole and in Bowness and Ambleside. Very easy to deal with Lakelovers who were in touch by both text and email before and during our stay. Would recommend the property and Lakelovers to anyone.
Excellent service.
Excellent customer service - great communication by mobile phone and email both before and after. The property, Garden Hill West was everything we required, a lovely comfortable house with magnificent views of Lake Windermere. Many thanks Lakelovers.
Efficient, friendly service
Excellent website which made it very easy to browse different properties for our holiday. Very good communication from initial booking right through to the end of our break. We had a couple of minor maintenance issues which were dealt with promptly and the member of staff I spoke to was extremely professional. I was very happy with my experience of using the company to book my holiday and would be happy to recommend and use them again.
Yew Tree, Windermere
Second time we had booked with Lakelovers. As last time: good service, needs met, repairs made promptly (overnight rain caused a puddle in conservatory... dealt with within hours), beautiful house and facilities.. felt like millionaires for a week... Thank you Lakelovers
Rooftop Cottage, Bowness
Used Lakelovers multiple times and can't fault them, their customer service is excellent, I like the way they send texts to see if everything is ok, I always find their properties to be in excellent condition. I had booked Rooftop Cottage in Bowness, our 2nd stay here, right in the heart of things, bars, restaurants, loved the place. The cottage itself is part of the old school and has the bedrooms downstairs with living room and kitchen being upstairs, this so you can appreciate the wonderful views from the skylight windows. Please use Lakelovers as your agent for booking your next Lake District holiday cottage, they cover all areas, you won't be disappointed.
Great company with lovely properties .-Ecclerigg cottage
All was great with the company. The website was well laid out and easy to compare possible properties. I had to contact the company by phone as I realised that the property I'd booked online didn't have wifi. It was all straightforward to change with minimal fuss.
The property itself was everything we needed. Clean comfortable with its own parking and close to the southern fells and to Ambleside itself. The rooms were all large and well equipped. Ensuite bathroom in one room and top of the range bathroom for the other bedroom.
Customer service
Staff friendly and helpful whenever I've had to contact them, would recommend Lakelovers if you are booking a holiday in the Lake District
Easy to Book and very helpful
Loved the cottage we hired, dog friendly, fantastic views and walks right on the doorstep, nice pub and restaurant just down the lane, Lakelovers were easy to book with on line and kept us informed of every step of the way, we would recommend Lakelovers to anyone.
Used them multiple times and always happy!
Lakelovers were a great find on the Internet. There are so many agents for Lake District cottages our experiences have been mixed. However, each time we rented from Lakelovers we found the experience to be excellent.
We would highly recommend them!

Great service and property exactly as described
The service by Lakelovers is excellent. The property was exactly as described, booking was easy with immediate confirmation. Location and access details were accurate and easy to follow. The property was well presented and instructions inside the property fully met our requirements. We had no need to contact Lakelovers while at the property. There is no O2 mobile signal at the location but the WiFi connection was good and supported streaming of video, tv and radio.
Cunsey Lake House is only 15 minutes from Hawshead and 25 minutes from Ambleside and yet it is very quiet and peaceful with views across Lake Windermere. If going to Ambleside, pick up a parking disc from most shops and restaurants and get 1hr on street free parking.

Perfect house in ideal location
The home we stayed in for two weeks was quite comfortable, well stocked and very spacious. Since the lounge, dining room and kitchen were upstairs we had gorgeous views. The skylights kept the upstairs rooms well lit and sunny on good days.
Steve Wray found the best house for us and we would recommend both!

Great Customer service and properties.
I always use Lakelovers when visiting the Lake District.
Their website is great and allows for a real feel of the properties they have for rent.
Booking is easy as are the key collecting/arrival arrangements.
Deposits are refunded promptly and the customer service is faultless.

Stones Throw Cottage, Ambleside
6 of us (all adults)stayed in this beautiful cottage in Ambleside for a week in April 2016. The facilities provided are fantastic and it is decorated to a very high standard. There is plenty of room for everyone with two sitting rooms and a fantastic kitchen. The dining table is huge and a great place for family meals and games. Having the 2 ensuites and family bathroom meant there was also no queuing in the mornings to get ready. The cottage is really well located to Ambleside and also some great walks straight from the door. We found Lakelovers to be very organised and everything ran very smoothly. We would definitely use again and be back to Stones Throw cottage in the future.

Jaspers Retreat, Bowness, Windermere
Jaspers Retreat is one of the best properties we’ve stayed at. Has everything and more. Proximity to fell walks, shops and lake. The house is very comfortable. Like home from home. View of Lake Windermere, stylish and clean. Plus the dog loved the garden and sunbathing on the balcony. Will be staying here again. Lakelovers has always given great service and will be using them for years to come.

Great Relaxing Holiday
I booked a Cottage at Ings Mill Park via Lakelovers, booking was simple on the internet, the cottage was just what I wanted with my two little dogs, central for days out to all the lakes, the owner and staff were very friendly and the site was very clean & tidy, Lakelovers kept in contact with me via email and text throughout the holiday and offered help if I needed it, the cottage was clean and tidy and we had everything we needed, with a babbling river at the front of the cottage and a pub brewery and restaurant at the bottom of the lane, what more could I ask for.

We found Lakelovers to be very efficient and even contacted us to check that we were not having similar problems to an adjacent cottage when their hot water was experiencing some problems.
