Osprey boat house is beautiful, a really lovely place to stay. We all loved the location, a short walk from Bowness, so away from the hustle and bustle of a small town, but close enough to all amenities. The view from the balcony is amazing, and we really enjoyed sitting watching the boats and the sunsets. The boat house is of a very high standard and Helen’s welcome pack on arrival was really appreciated. Helen lives close by so was on hand if we needed anything and responded quickly to any queries we had prior to our stay. The Lake District is a beautiful area to visit and the boat house is a real home from home to return to after days out exploring the local area. Definitely one we will be returning to! ##### Sandie W.

I have been coming to the Lakes each year for as long as I can remember & cant believe I have never come across home & away! The property was in the most perfect location. It is all on one level so my elderly father managed well. It was immaculate & had everything you could possibly need. The welcome pack was thoughtfully planned & meant you didn’t need to shop immediately. The property was so spacious too with more than enough utensils/crockery etc for 6\. The balcony & view are stunning. Even at this time of year there were plenty of comings & goings on the lake to entertain my dad. We hope to return in the near future! ##### Dawn N.
