The proximity to get around the lakes, good transfer links by bus and boat to see around the lakes, if you didn’t want to travel by car. The views were amazing. There are many excellent pubs and restaurants with friendly atmosphere.

Bowness is a pretty little village/town on the edge of lake Windermere. The people are kind and happy. There is so much to see and do i go twice a year! It doesn't matter what the weather you can find something/somewhere to entertain yourself. I recommend for families, and couples young or old, but it is hilly so take walking shoes!!

Bowness is the busiest tourist place in the lakes.

Bowness is the busiest tourist place in the lakes. Whilst some people might not like that, it does have a multitude of places to eat, drink, wander and enjoy the vista. Please try Porta, I have been visiting the restaurant for over 30 years, it is fabulous and for me is a must visit venue. I know it’s touristy, but that’s for a reason, it is a really nice place to be.

Beautiful area. Sadly it rained for the first 2 days, but didn't detract from the beauty of the area. Great selection of shops, cafes, bars, restaurants and a fantastic sunday dinner at the Albert.

The location is excellent , just a short stroll into the center of bowness on Windermere but nice and quiet when back at the apartments. The gardens are lovely and relaxing after a day out walking . We liked how easy it was to enter the apartments with the code sent on the day of our arrival. We also liked the 11:00 check out time as this gave us plenty of time to get packed up without rushing. Would highly recommend.

Great location within Bowness on Windermere. We only stayed for 2 nights but fully appreciated what the area had to offer. Kathy was a great host, very friendly, approachable and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The room was spot on for us, very clean. It was great our little dog was with us as well, this was lovely.
