Very central for Bowness and a lovely quiet base for our exploration walks . Only thing we missed was the accomodation not having a freezer ,even a small one would have been useful but apart from that everything else was perfect . Thank you for a lovely stay .

The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and the living area comfortable. We enjoyed how close the restaurants were, and how easy to walk to the main pier., We enjoyed our stay and recommend the place to visit Bowness on Windermere. There are a lot of stairs so visitors with mobility might have an issue.

Clean and comfortable. Only tiny issue was that the fridge door didnât close without wedging a door stop in it. Fantastic location in the town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as first time visitors to the Lakes.
