The Firs is part of the Brathay Cottage Collection, a family run business that lets and manages, in our opinion, some of the best holiday properties in the Lake District.

We are just a few hundred metres from both the centre of Bowness, and the Ferries at Lake Windermere.

Three Kingsize beds, and two zip-and-link Superking/Twin beds, the Firs can offer a variety of sleeping arrangements to suit your group.

At The Firs there is an abundance of living space to accommodate a party of 10. Choose between the stylish and luxurious Lounge, the comfortable and relaxed sitting room featuring piano, and the gorgeously sociable, large kitchen diner.

A large utility basement with laundry facilities is accessed from the kitchen through a secret bookcase door (shhhh), allowing you to clean and dry clothes out of sight and away from the living spaces.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Very warm and comfortable home. Lots of room to spread out. Furnished to a modern, high standard. A few housekeeping issues on arrival, which were sorted immediately. Communication with host was exceptional and all requests were handled promptly and efficiently to make our stay more comfortable. Note: there is no cloakroom/toilet on ground floor, gave us a bit of extra exercise. In an excellent location to access the Lake District and Bowness village centre. The Royal Oak and Flying Pig were excellent pubs to visit and The Boardwalk restaurant also had nice waterside dining.

We have the most wonderful stay for our family over three nights at the Firs. We came from all over the world and check in was very smooth. Location was perfect, so close to everything! Place was spotless and clean but still so welcoming. We had everything we needed for our stay for both the adults and kids. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in Lake District.
