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 backAAnonymous - 10Scored 10

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.AAnonymous - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.AAnonymousUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
hotel position was fab, staff helpful & friendly
hotel position was fab, staff helpful & friendly room was nice , bathroom far to small, stated full English breakfast but that was not the case, charged for parking £15 per day disgraceful when your paying high end rates for rooms. check in was dead on 3pm could not check in slightly early, over all stay was good would i stop there again Unfortunately no there is better hotels with more facilities within this price range

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.

- From £210 per night7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 2,548 reviewsThe location provided easy access to the main part of town as well as the harbor area. Easy to walk about town for a leisurely stroll. Dining options at the hotel were great - breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of cold foods being available as well as hot foods from the menu. Best full English we had on our trip! Dinner choices were also very good, particularly on the fixed price menu. All in all, we had a lovely stay at the hotel. We would definitely stay again when in the area.
ChristinaUnited States - From £219 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very goodRated very good· 2,211 reviewsEveryone was very welcoming and friendly. We had a garden view room, just of the main reception, with part view of the lake and jetty area. It was my wife's birthday during our stay and a welcoming Happy Birthday card was waiting for her on our arrival. We were delighted with the room and all its facilities. Only slight disappointment was we did not eat dinner in the restaurant due to the current Covid on going restrictions. That said we will certainly be revisiting The Belsfield Hotel again.
WilliamUnited Kingdom - From £110 per night7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 1,455 reviewsBreakfast was very good in terms of quality and the staff serving were pleasant and very helpful. The location of the hotel is excellent situated on Windermere lakeside close to the boat piers. The room appeared to have been partially upgraded including the en-suite, however the bed and furniture have seen better days. The shower enclosure was a little on the small side but the water pressure and temperature were both fine.NeilUnited Kingdom

It has the town centre of bowness on windermere right on the door step. It's was lovely and clean and to be honest I can't fault this apartment in any way as its beautiful like I siad. It is a little bit hard to find but once we found the apartment, car park there to park your car. 😊CameronUnited Kingdom
- From £185.40 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 5,669 reviewsThe pool and spa was really nice, this part had good facilities and was a decent size although was very busy at one time. The bed was really comfy and huge, but they said they’d gave us a free room upgrade to a bigger one so maybe in the ‘snug’ room the bed would have been smaller. Staff overall helpful. Location to Bowness on Windermere good at less than a 10 minute walk.city_breakerUnited Kingdom

NajdSaudi Arabia - 9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 141 reviewsThis clean apartment is located in a superb location in Bowness on Windermere. We especially like the extra firmness of the mattress (the usual soft mattress of BnB or hotel hurts my back), which is very comfortable! The owner has provided useful information about the car park after confirmation of the booking.
