Review of Brow Top
By Mike on 15-Aug-2025We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brow Top. It served as a great base for exploring The Lakes, both nearby and further afield. The house was equipped with everything we needed and provided a relaxing space to recharge for the next day. The views over Windermere and the ease of access to the fells behind the house were real highlights. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the house to others.
Brow Top holiday review
By Julie on 30-Jan-2024My family and I had an amazing stay at Brow Top. As soon as we arrived there was a lovely homely welcoming vibe. The living space was modern, tastefully furnished and impeccably clean. Great location too. We could easily walk into the centre of Bowness with quirky shops and eateries as well as venturing onto the fells at the back of the property with beautiful views. Clear information on the amenities/keys/ heating ect was provided throughout the property, which was really helpful. Much consideration had been given to provide absolutely everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The lovely open plan kitchen was well equipped providing an ideal space for the family chill out together when we weren’t out and about exploring the fantastic surroundings. The bedrooms were spacious with very comfortable beds too. This has been the perfect place to relax and recharge. Would thoroughly recommend staying at Brow Top and will definitely be back! Thank you Jane and Duncan
