The scenery in this area is fantastic.

The scenery in this area is fantastic. If you are a keen photographer you will be spoilt for choices. Not just at Windermere, but the surrounding towns, lakes, and walks. These include Windermere, Kendal / Derwent Water and Rydal, etc. Bowness has a good selection of places to eat and drink during the day and evening. The town also has a good selection of shops which include well known names and brands.

We visited the lake and went on the boat trip.

We visited the lake and went on the boat trip. It is the 3 rd time I have been here but the last visit was 10 years ago, so much has changed and there is now not as much to see on that same boat trip. Such a shame. We ate in a local cafe or rather my husband did. He loved the cafe just off the boat that sold home made massive millionaires shortbread, the highlight of his day hahah this cafe was at the opposite end of the lake from the main side of the lake.

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.

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.
