Bowness is a lovely location on Lake Windermere. If you like trips by water, it is a good place to visit but a bit lacking in things to do apart from that. There is a good bus service to Kendal or Keswick but leave the car and use public transport. You can go to Ambleside by boat or bus but the town is packed during the summer season.

The view from the window, presentation of the property, decor of the room, bottle of water on arrival. Closeness of township.
The staircase was a challenge and heating could have been better controlled.

The location was just perfect.
The location was just perfect. It was central for us to adventure out and explore the Lake District. It was also an exciting location for relaxation in the evenings. Lots of fine restaurants and pubs to choose from with a lovely holiday atmosphere abounding everywhere.
Regretfully the car ferry was out of order and not available to us. That was a bit of a nuisance as our touring plans had envisaged that being available. None the less we had a fabulous holiday and were not overly put-out by the loss.

It is so easy going in Bowness we try to come here as often as we can. There’s something to do for everyone young and old. We have a dog now and he’s so relaxed here many places are dog friendly. Bars and restaurants brilliant especially Italians on the Main Street. Our favourite place can’t wait to come back

I liked the Beatrix Potter museum, Holehird Gardens, and Stagshaw gardens, Hayes garden centre up in Ambleside. Booked an amazing day trip with Mountain Goat tours that took us around ten Lakes of the Lake District with our amazing guide Mark Shipley. the restaurants I went to was Francine's up in Windermere, Urban Food House (superb) and the Magic Roundabout. I was within walking distance of everything in Bowness. I probably would avoid booking in the school holidays, was very busy everywhere. the weather was very changeable but it is the wettest area of Great Britain.

Breakfast was lovely, beautifully presented, Karol and Nigel are pleasant and always attentive. The Covid situation has prevented the full array of choice, self serve cereals, fruit etc at the present time, but for us it was not a problem. The en suite room was bright and comfy. Its position is just a few hundred metres from all that's going on at Bowness on Windermere, we love it here. Value for money, hosts are friendly and helpful, even tips on local walks to take.
The hotel is stunning and the service is exceptional, really lovely staff!
You get a glass of prosecco and a guided tour on arrival.
We stayed in the Windermere suite with an amazing view and a hot tub, which was really luxurious.
The breakfast is great and well cooked.
Try out the restaurant as this is fantastic.
The spa is the best I've ever been in, so lovely and the poolside bar is a real bonus!
The cocktails in the bar are of great quality!
Karol and Nigel are just out of this world. They are the perfect hosts! Everything was just top notch. A clean, spacious room and bathroom, DELICIOUS brekkie, perfect location - 5 min walk to the lake, restaurants and pubs. Even though the weather wasn't the best, we really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend and hope we're back one day in the future!
