Hi, I’m Kylie — together with my husband Martin, we run Lake District Retreats, a small family business built around our love for the Lakes, beautiful design, and genuine hospitality. We personally renovate, style and manage each of our holiday homes to create spaces that feel warm, welcoming and special. We believe great stays come down to thoughtful details — a spotless home, quality furnishings, and those little extras that make you feel cared for. As a family, we love spending time outdoors with our sons and dogs, exploring new trails or finding hidden spots by the water. That love of the Lakes inspires everything we do — from choosing our locations to making sure every guest can relax, recharge, and feel right at home here. We’re always just a message away if you need us and truly want every stay to be memorable for the right reasons. Whether you’re visiting for romance, rest, or adventure, we’d love to welcome you to one of our Lake District Retreats.

Bowness-on-Windermere, England, United Kingdom The linked towns of Bowness and Windermere lie east of Lake Windermere, where Bowness is at the waters edge, with the town of Windermere set about 10-15 minutes walk away above the lake. Each is a busy community of shops, cafes, restaurants and attractions, serving both the local community and our visitors to the Lake District. One of the main attractions of Bowness is the bay, a sweeping crescent of waterfront and adjoining parkland, where you can enjoy a walk by the shore or find a quite place to picnic. This is where you will find the world famous Windermere steamers, which offer boat trips up and down the lake. You will also find a number of places to hire rowing boats, paddle boards, kayaks and canoes as well as motor powered boats, which can be hired by the hour or for longer, to explore the lake and it islands for yourself. Other popular attractions are the World of Beatrix Potter, the Windermere Steam Boat Museum and a little south of Bowness the Blackwell Arts and Crafts house, one of the most important surviving houses from the turn of the 20th century all all within walking distance of the apartment.
