    Lots of shops, pubs, restaurants etc. Can take a boat trip on the lake around the islands or go to Ambleside. Nice place. Beware it can be hilly if you have mobility issues. Overall nice place to visit.

    Visiting Bowness in November was a great idea.

    Visiting Bowness in November was a great idea. I have been in the summer before and it is so busy it is unpleasant and parking is difficult. I would advise visitors to choose a hotel with private parking - preferably free, some charge for parking - leave a car there and walk to town or to the lakeside. Also be aware that Bowness is built on a steep hill and not all roads have pavements.

    The town and area around Bowness are beautiful.

    The town and area around Bowness are beautiful. We were able to walk and visit an amazing Arts and Crafts house and then see a very undeveloped part of the lake shore on foot. The ferry across the lake was nearby and the walk to Hill Top to see Beatrix Potter's house was beautiful and well signed. We had good meals in a pub and bistro near to Fairfield House so not needing to use the car made the location great for us.

    We have visited Windemere 5 times the views and landscape breathtaking, this can be a peaceful or full on trip you choose. Plenty of choice for eating. This time of year less crowded in peak season very busy so choose your time to suit you.

    Stayed 3 nights here which we thought was a touch too long. 1 night would have been perfect then move onto Ambleside. Amazing restaurant and bar called Eazy Breeze which you should definitely go to if you are having a night in Bowness on Windermere

    Your hotel was a perfect location for seeing all the sights of Bowness. We enjoyed your wonderful breakfasts and the friendliness of your staff. Our highlight of our stay was that you gave me a picture off your upstairs landing wall. I had mentioned to my daughter that I wondered if you would sell it to me. I couldn't believe it when I was presented with it at breakfast. Thank you so much. I see it daily and it is now a constant reminder of our stay with you. Thank you again.

    Excellent location in Bowness very close to the lake and amenities. The room was clean and very comfy, the bottles of water and Kendal mint cake were a nice touch. The staff were excellent nothing was to much to ask, with a special mention to the two lads in the Bar. The food in the restaurant was fantastic, reasonably priced and large portions. I can't speak highly enough of this hotel.

    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! Hon & Pete

    Apartment was very comfortable and well equiped. Location was convenient for the centre of Bowness. The 2 en-suite rooms were a bonus and the kitchen facilities were superb. Apartments are set in the grounds of a hotel with beautiful gardens, although we didn't make use of them this time, we certainly would if visiting again in the summer.
